Fair enough that you knew this but many investors think that when the market is very volatile, the next thing that comes to their mind is to convert everything they have to a stable currency, for short term it is the good but using it to hold value have his own side effect. Some months ago, USDC deppeged in value, they have to use some back up funds to close that loss before it pumped back to 1:1 of the real price to USD.

Stablecoin values lies on what assets they are backed with, the ones we have right now are not transparent enough, I'm not sure why they are always like that but they don't disclose how strongly the asset that back the ticker name they list on public exchange and that is why you shouldn't trust, they are business enterprise by the way so you shouldn't trust them at all.

Your country might be facing high inflation which has resulted in a significant increase in the price of goods and services. When a country depends on too much exportation than importation, this is usually what they face at the end of the day, the local food they ought to have produced within their own country like rice, wheat and other grains are all imported and with such behaviour, their purchasing power will continue to go down and the currency will become worthless.

Furthermore, when a country values so much another currency than their own currency, its currency doesn't usually have much value. My country, for example, is having similar challenges in dollarization, people prefer to have things in dollars than the local currency, and this has made the Naira become rubbish with high inflation in the general rise of food costs, you can't have few Naira and want to enjoy life any longer because they are worthless, hopefully, things changed with the new policy the monetary system has been implementing.

I'm not sure what your sources are but this information is wrong, they are not facts but you can prove me wrong with the right source to read through. We all know how he wanted to buy Twitter back then and on realizing that it contains more than 40% of users are bots, he decided to drop the deal but somehow, the deal later went through. After he took over as the CEO, he found out that some employees were not needed, some jobs could be done by a person and he found out it was done by 5 people, he had to cut down the cost of the operation to bring twitter to the mainstream.

In addition, Twitter has been rebranded to X which we don't know why but it could be trademarking it to suit its parent company SpaceX. He has also decided to introduce revenue for content creators through their monthly impressions to bring more people to twitter, so I don't understand what you are talking about.

There are different forms in which the crypto market can be easily manipulated and most of the time, only Altcoins do this except for bitcoin, even the ones that you see with prefix of DEFi all around their names all do this habit of market manipulation and all depends on the distribution of the coins in supply and the total supply.

-When half of the circulating supply of a coin is in the hands of one or two people, it is always easy to do whatever they want, they can manipulate the coins with the little stablecoin in their possession, drag the price to what they want and then sell everything to exit the project completely, the few buyers will be forever waiting for other victims, they may get lucky or they will remain in that lost forever.

-When the team have both circulating supply and the rest of the supply and all under their care, they can do whatever they like, especially when they comes to a disagreement between them, they can offload the coin on the market which can plunge the price of the token.

To avoid this, avoid altcoins and buy only bitcoin or you can do your research to see how coins are distributed among people before you buy any of them, you can also check website analytics that gives updates on how tokens are been unlocked by different projects.

Auction is all about demand, the amount the players are bidding and whoever does the last call without anyone interfering in the bidding price wins the item. However, before they start, there is going to be a floor asking price that can't be changed lower at an initial launch. For instance, if the US government decide to raise some revenue through the seize bitcoin, they can decide to sell 50 from their balance and put the initial price at $15k, you know everyone will want to have it and that is how more bid will keep coming until the last person doesn't have a competitor bidding for the price again and the last person will be the person the bitcoin will be sold for, anyone can bid the bitcoin for any price as long as it is above that $15k floor price.

The problem with auctioning is that only the rich and invited members are always allowed to visit such places, a common guy like you and I wouldn't get the chance. Funny how people's bitcoin where seized for the benefit of tax and rich men, spit on these old men.

That dream will be difficult to bring to realization with the speed of 10 minute confirmation, the world is too large for that kind of patient. If bitcoin has had the speed of an average second to get through without having to wait, then the adoption of the payment will go together with the investment. The lightning network is there though, but people don't use it the way they use the main layer, people prefer the return value to the transaction freedom it offers.


XRP has been a hype and a shitty community if you ask me, haven't you look there growth beyond the media, the only thing they are good at is public relations, the value has not been something to talk about or should I say it has been the opposite of bitcoin, fast transaction and low return, there are even other altcoins that are faster and valuable than XRP but don't make noises like XRP armies.


Perhaps the bitcoin layer 2 will continue to grow but right now, I don't think the main layer speed will go more than this and the adoption might grow though but not linearly, there is set back of speed and we can't get people to use it in that state; Ordinals became the hot next thing in crypto and we all observed how messy the transactions becomes and the mempool became filled up, imagine how it will be if the rest of the world want to use bitcoin.

It should have been more of a basic understanding of bitcoin than understanding the whole of bitcoin; understanding bitcoin never ends because it's a continuous process that has to align with society and as such, there will always be changes and upgrades. However, the security details should be expressed to newcomers at maximum speed, that is the basic background of bitcoin and when it breaks, there will not be bitcoin in the first place and no one can hold the bitcoin in their wallet.

Speaking about a wallet, there are hardware wallet and software wallet; the hardware wallet is the recommended type of wallet every bitcoiner needs in the first place, It is a type of wallet that don't get connected to the internet, and any attempt of online is free from the wallet but again, you have to make sure that it is properly backup and well save in a tight secure area where nobody will see except you. The software wallets are useful but only for daily spending and also signed transactions, they are not suitable for holding wallets as they are prone to hacking and your bitcoin will always be prone to dangers.

I will say it's a lie that Real Madrid is currently better than Barcelona but despite being below with 2 points, they are good form than Real Madrid, none of their players is currently in injury, they are fit to defeat any team but Real Madrid is just a walking ticking time bomb that can explode any time, God forbid if Bellingham should sustain Injury now, that's all for Los Blancos because even if they have Elclasico very soon, Real Madrid will not survive in that match; they are lucky that EL clasicco is month away, else wit Vinicious injury that will take month, it wouldn't be funny on that debut.

I would love to see If Barcelona will be bringing in Joao Felix to the club, his mix up with Gavi will do some wonders for Xavi, I don't know what has been keeping the negotiation long like that, or perhaps they are overjoyed with Yamal's performance and don't want an additional player for the club.

One of the worst investments Chelsea ever made was signing Lukaku for nothing in the club. $113M is just too ridiculous to buy a player that was above 27 years old and then only to be loaned out for $8M for the same club that sold him, Inter was smart to make money with him and Chelsea was desperate for another Champions League trophy in the bag and yet, the man never participated in the journey, I think Chelsea is bad in making good financial decisions and this thing has been for long right before Toed Boehly bought the club, it will better if the review some of their staffs before they become broke like Barcelona that can not sign big players again due to FFA; Caicedo and Enzo always ring on my head whenever I think about their midfield.

Arsenal and Manchester City are both flopped, right now they need to step up, the two desperate teams will have to face each other but the last time Arsenal and Manchester United faced each other in the club friendly, Arsenal was flogged and humiliated but after that, all the matches they have played from then to now has been win or draw, no loss from any of the matches they have played but the question is, will they lost to Manchester United or they will win or possibly draw, I cant feel nostalgic about this match occurrence to be honest, its a tight match to call.

If we are to make assumptions based on stats, Arsenal have been more stable in winning matches than Manchester United, however, this doesn't matter sometimes as the opponent they are meeting can have more strength than them, I will not bet them this weekend if I do my normal picking because too many doubts but I will give both team to score or over 1.5 predictions, Arsenal will score and Manchester United to equally score, that's fair to me isn't.

I'm not sure the strength you are talking about but Manchester City right now are the only team player with 3 straight win matches with the equivalent of 9 points which as a result places them at the top of the standing, in addition, they have only conceded only 1 goal of the 3 matches they have played with a total goal of 6, that is fair if you ask me and to see that Haaland has 3 goals in the three appearances is excellence, still among the top players that are competing to be top scorers because right now, there 4 players with 3 goals score but the coming weeks, we will see changes as Haaland will definitely score another goal against Fulham in their next match.

Kelvin De Bruyne's absence was felt but the team is still doing fine, I'm happy to see that Haaland came second in the UEFA Men's Player of the Year after Lionel Messi and De Bruyne came third, the two players from Manchester City are making the Etihad proud, waiting to see him come back and defend his club and see what he is going to add to Manchester City this season.

Many players of today are here for the money but fear what people will say if they leave the European clubs for other ones, I remember back then how they attacked Iniesta, and Ahmed Musa for leaving the English Premier League clubs for Saudi Arabia and China but today, because Ronaldo has been considered the greatest of all time(goat) and decided to go for Al-Nasr, they follow suit because of the money, if had it been Ronaldo was still in European clubs, players like Benzema and other clown Chelsea players will never make a move to Saudi Arabia but look at how it is fast transforming.

As far as football is concerned, it's not going to be a threat to European clubs, remember back then, when Seria A was nothing, Ronaldo went there and gave them more Public interaction, that's what he is going to do at Saudi Arabia and more talented players will be found in both places. Just know that the Premier League will remain the most valuable league in the world, not by funding but by reputation.

Benzema's episode ended the day he moved to Al-Ittihad, he is doing well there and has had few goals, let that slide and focus more on how the current team of Real Madrid has been. When a club undergoes major changes of players, there must be changes in how the players interact, how they play and how they win and since Casemiro was sold to Manchester United, their defence has changed even though Kroos and Rudiger are still in their prime protecting that with their life, it has really changed.

The centre forward has also experienced changes, Viniciuos has not been in the form the way he was during their last Champions League, no other player like Benzema that take advantage of assists like him that's why the effort of Viniciuos is sometimes wasted. Bellingham is good though, but that's not enough to me. If Ancelotti insists on riding the storm this season with the left players, so be it but I'm very confident that the fans are going to fry him before next year July.

With what he did put Liverpool, you will understand better that Newcastle flogged Liverpool by ball possession, the stats are there to check, they struggled to attack to neutralise their centre-back but they were able to hold onto Newcastle at the end of the minute. However, I think Van Dijk has been a menace to Liverpool, It either sleep on a defensive position or foul and get a consistent yellow card, it's the work of the defenders to be aggressive but must do so without fouling, even yesterday's card, he never thought he will foul to that extent that place them on 10 men against 11 men and now, he will miss the next 3 matches of Liverpools Premier League. There is no alternative defender that is as strong as him and if Salah is confirmed to be leaving as well, Liverpool will feel the heat in the coming weeks.

There is no fire without smoke, I am surprised as well about this fast move to leave the club after playing for them yesterday with a good assist but at the same time, I'm not surprised that he is leaving. Liverpool is very well known for its lack of player's welfare and financial increase in wages, that's how they let go of Mane last season and till now, they are still struggling to stay above the top 4 in the standing, if this turns to be official from Liverpool, I want to see how they are going to make it to the Champions League next season.

Right now, all indications of Salah is heading towards Saudi Arabia, that is the only place I think as well because he wouldn't be going back to Chelsea, Manchester United will not break the bank to have him and Pep is even on break, there is no any reputable club in Europe for that guy except Saudi Arabia, time will tell though.

Wait, what? Is there anything like a 100% guarantee in sports betting, not even the sports bookies will tell me to go all in and will do that, the same way there are chances of winning so there are high chances of losing, and if you lose, you will have no one t blame but yourself, and you know what, whenever I have a bankroll on $10,000, I will never use that on a bet, life is not all about betting, I will take my chances on other aspects of life; Bettin $10k for a bet is not even fun to me, that's more like a stupid idea.

In a real clause, whenever I hear anyone say a bet is 100% guaranteed to win, I do ignore them but in this situation, I will give it a try with another shot at funds that I don't need that time, perhaps max is going to be $100 and if that happens, I will be giving it a shot when there is a called but I wouldn't raise my wager, better to play safe and win for tomorrow or wager all your capital and go home without any means of having another money to play the next day.

I'm not sure why your username read Bhunter1997, does that refer to Bounty hunter? Is the 1997 has to do with your date of birth? 

If you once had a Bounty account or violated any rule with your first account and later find out, know that you will be caught with this one as well and if it's just a random name then only time will prove it.

Business entity are very difficult to trust, they will disappoint you when you least expect and when that happens, it will end in regret and had I know. To disallowed this from happening to you, it's better you don't think of such idea because any business can become crippled in a day and if you have something stuck in there platform, you will be a victim. You may likely get your money or you may not get it, that depends on if you really read the terms and conditions during the course of registration, if they gives reasons why you may not have your money and you agree with them, then that's all for your money.

Your wallet doesn't itch you I believe, why not save it under your care instead of entrusting your money into another people you just won their money, don't you think they get hurt when they see you win and your balance keeps increasing. The early you start practicing self holding the better and safer your money.

Mane and Ronaldo combination has been a big blessing for AL Nasr, they both make a good team but there is something that bothers me about Ronaldo, it is the anger issue. We all know that no man is perfect in his profession, there is room for visible mistakes and invisible ones even the linemen find difficult to interpret, some are ignored just for the fun of it because if things are been done, the fun of it will not be there again but Ronaldo get angry easily when things don't go in his favour, he pushed away a staff that was trying to take pics with him, not humble and very mannerless I must say.

I can't wait for their domestic leagues to get hot like the Saudi Premier League is just round 5, there are more players that have been signed but have not had time yet to be featured in any of the matches, I want to see distribution and less attention on Ronaldo, maybe Neymar can make hattrick too the same way Ronaldo did this week.

It is a shame for a club that has the highest number of UCL in the history of Football was waiting for a young boy who disappointed them last season, they didn't learned yet they tried to take advantage of his reef with PSG and the boy still stay at his country club, maybe they have learned by now, even Ronaldo didn't take them more like this to bring to the club and till today, he is still the most decorated player that has emerged from Laliga after Messi. 

Furthermore, Ancelloti's behaviour is becoming unacceptable, almost all the top players have gone injured and he is stubborn and keen on not signing any new players, he thinks he is the best when it comes to decisions but that's a wrong decision that will come back to hunt Los Blancos. I was one of his fans but I can't wait to see him go back to Brazil where will go and retire as a manager, overconfidence will make you do what is wrong without realising and that is the Joke the old man is playing with Real Madrid.
