981  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Potential Threat to XRP on: August 05, 2023, 10:46:29 PM
Why do XRP proponents keep claiming that it's going to replace SWIFT for international transfers?

Do they think SWIFT is just going to sit idly by, while they watch another company steal their market share and run them out of business??

No. That's why they recently introduced "SWIFT Go", which can settle international transfers "quickly". How "quickly" is anyone's guess, but it might be fast enough to put up some stiff competition against XRP, making it an uphill battle for it to gain adoption, especially since the whole world already uses SWIFT, and banks will be reluctant to change.


https://www.swift.com/swift-go/en/what/

https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/23715/what-is-swift-go-and-why-is-it-so-innovative


Being an XRP holder myself since 2017, I'm concerned about this. Why does it seem that no one else is? Have they even heard of SWIFT Go?

Please enlighten me, if I'm missing something.

If you have been in crypto since 2017, then you should know that XRP replacing swift is synonymous to BTC trying to replace the banks and banking the unbanks, these were what people were using to defend bitcoin and the traditonal finances back then before the adoption changes and the institutional investors stepped into the game and now the picture is even clear than the way it was because then, it was one of the selling point to get people into liking bitcoin and also to motivates the holders. Perhaps XRP need to rebrand to improve the road map and make the project get more exposure and even the SEC hunting will reduce the negetive aspect of them.

In addition, if you have been a holder since 2017, I assume you are at lost up till now, if you have sold them and cut your loss and buy another coin from 2019 to now, you will by now be in a good profits or would have sold and left with your profits. Instead of waiting forever, why not restrategized and try that in prior to the next bull run or just diversify your portfolio instead depending on only XRP.
982  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do we need a privacy coin that can only hide transaction amounts ? on: August 05, 2023, 10:32:39 PM
There are already some privacy coins, such as Monero, but they don't seem to be widely popular. At least not as popular as ETH, LTC.
Is it because privacy is not a necessary requirement? Or are existing privacy coins not good enough?
Or is it because of regulation? Or is it that privacy coins make the public feel that they are always connected to criminal activities?

If a coin only hides the transaction amount, will it be popular?

When I was using Monero, I found that for offline cold wallets, it is a troublesome thing to check the balance. You have to wait for the wallet client to scan a large number of blocks to find all transactions associated with the account. If only the transaction amount is hidden, this problem will be solved.
Of course, this semi-privacy coin is also more friendly to supervision.
Will anyone be willing to use this kind of coin ?

Monero is popular for it privacy and use case, it doesn't have attraction like ethereum because it doesn't have smart contract design like Ethereum blockchain. Monero(xlm) privacy is even stronger than bitcoin that is why some exchange don't accept them and majority of US crypto exchange don't accept monero and the reason why they are doing that is because your anonymity is to the fullest when you used Monero to send payment and also receive payment and with this, the authority will have to do extra analysis if not impossible to be able to track the payment route.

Its up to what you really want as to preserve your privacy but trust me, you need it to the fullest whether it will hide your transaction amount or not, the goal is to disjoin any association from anyone trying to check up on the user behind a particular transaction, your privacy must be protected at all cost, don't compromised it for anything,
983  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is copy trading a viable option for newcomers? on: August 05, 2023, 10:07:35 PM
Copy trading has gained immense popularity in the crypto industry since its introduction. Bitget, being one of the pioneers in this field, remains one of the largest platforms for copy trading cryptocurrencies. Many consider it an appealing choice for beginners, but is it truly effective for those who are new to trading?

There are some advantages of copy trading for newcomers. You can check the below points.

Advantages :

1. Time-saving

They can reduce the time on researching and monitoring the markets.

2. Learning opportunity

They can observe and analyze the strategies of successful traders.

3. Simplicity
They can replicate the trades of good traders.

As much as I find your points convincing, they are not showcasing true definition in true life experience, because I don't understand what is Time-saving in copy trading when you can literally do your own set up, not doing your set up will make you even lazier without knowing full understanding of what you are doing and what is the learning opportunity you disuss over there, it doesn't show to me that you will every learn anything from copy other traders trades, you will only get to see loss/profits but most cases, its is losses because you chosed to do the short cut.

Furthermore, I'm yet to see if this copy trading will be useful right now as I was just scrolling in Binance exchange to see if the traders offering copy trading has been making profits, I checked into their portfolio and I couldn't find anything tangible, their ROI has been negative which means they are not making profits. If professional traders are making loss in this bear market, then I believe copy trading is a waste of time and capital.
984  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading tokens or coins, which one is better or gives more profits? on: August 05, 2023, 09:46:08 PM
I was doing some research on types of cryptocurency and discovered that we have tokens and coins. For those that don't know the difference here's a simple explanation, coins has their own blockchain while tokens rely on others blockchain to operate just like we have many top cryptocurency relying on ethereum blockchain to operate.

My question now is which of this cryptocurrency is more profitable to trade or do you not put into consideration if the project you're about to invest into or trade is a coin or a token. Why I'm asking this question is because tokens has a variety of exchange options to trade them on like DEX and CEX but coins can only be traded when they're listed on centralized exchange  and when trade are halted you can't buy or sell that coin that you're holding.

Have you wondered why some people keep running after meme coins despite the consistency in faliures from those projects? Its because they have gain profits they have never made in those tokens than even the main coins people shill everyday. One thing  excite the crypto market and is nothing other than trend that will give people profits for their moeny, time, extra efforts they put in shilling the tokens or coins and also engagement on social media, these is how coins and tokens get money off the market because of the over profits they get from the meme coins.

However, since traders are more of traders of buying and selling at a given opportunity, what they do best is to follow the same thing these coins the majority of the market go for and since they don't even require much technical set up of trading, more like easy place to get profits without doing any forcast, just moon and the hype with the lastest vibes to catch the attention of traders, its even this time you will see Youtube analyst start hyping this projects to get more liquidity for other traders to join them, its all about what the people want than what I need as a trader because remember that you should never fall for a project, you are after your money from the projects.
985  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do exchanges impact the performance of newly listed token? on: August 05, 2023, 08:58:03 PM
Initial listings are usually an exciting time for investors or traders; if they aren’t keen on the opening price, they are anticipating a surge or other reasons to be exhilarated.
How much can these expectations be impacted by the listing exchange? Below are my few observations:

-Increased accessibility and liquidity–Listing on a major exchange raises the accessibility and liquidity of tokens, ultimately driving demand and price.

-Purchasing frenzy – Traders and investors often embrace newly listed tokens with the hopes of profiting from their short-term price surge in the first few hours/days after listing.

-The impact of Promotion– Token price trajectory is usually affected by the hype around new listings, this is triggered more when leading exchanges promote or announce the listing of a new token.

Summarily exchanges significantly impact the performance of newly listed tokens, although this may vary in tokens or exchanges.

As a trader or investor, can you relate to these findings?


I think there is more to the points you explained above, liquidity is of the essence and that is why when tokens or coins are listed on dexes, they don't make good move to the upside because of the lack of liquidty, top tear 1 exchanges are the only place you can have a healthy growth because of the order book and very easy for market makers to take control of the price incase of people trying to drop the coins below the listing price with their bots and market manipulation.

Promtions and trading are discuraging as of recent, many exchange are abusing traders and  I don't understand why they are taking advantage of traders. As observe from kucoin, they pledge to give $5000 for trading competition that I know Kucoin for such absurd situation, that money is not encouraging and doesn't give anything back to the traders, for an exchange to do that, the new listed project will collapse in a short period of time and after some months, liquidity will be gone and you will be left of Critizers that will be fustrated to getout from the tokens losses.

Morocco did pretty well yesterday against Colombia and they got the 3pt they needed to qualify to the next round, this qualification made Morocco the first Arab county to qualify to the round of 16. It will make them stronger to face any team that come their way.
 With Nigeria, South Africa and now Morocco still keeping and giving Africans hope that something good can still be done, that alone is something to be motivated about, I just wish for this African countries to do well and get into the next round, it will be a thing of joy if these 3 countries are still in the tournament till the semis.
 Good luck to Nigeria, South Africa a d Morocco.

Morroco won after playing the last match in the Women World cup, not only did they lead by 1 goal, they also held into Colombia pressure even when they wasted more time with tatics to delay Columbia from having a goal in the end of the minutes, my problem problem is how they are going to continue their journey after this level because from that match, Columbia played them by possession, they had great pass accuracy and more shorts that Morocco. If that match has been a regular match, I believe that Columbia would have equalized that goal and add extra goals to Morocco because they are not match at all but all the same, Congratulations to them but France will do the final judge of their journey from here in the round of 16.
987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: August 04, 2023, 08:29:45 PM
I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose. I feel that money for gambling is a matter of opportunity cost. You either use the money for gambling or use it to meet a need. If using money one can afford to lose were practical there will be no need for articles on having a gambling budget or bank roll management. Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?

It’s true,people should split their income to different parts every month.The gamblers should have allot 10-20 percentage of money for their entertainment,So the entertainment money will not affect your monthly expenses.This was the strategy to get away from any financial issues after the loss from the gambling.Gambling profit always give you some good enjoyment and allow you to buy some more desired items.But we should think about the loss too.Because being practical will lead to peaceful life.Some of the gamblers failed to calculate their income and living the peace less life.Once you do planned expenses,you will be free from credits.

You are indeed a rich dude/person for allocating such 10-20$ to gambling but to me, I feel like its a waste when I have more responsibilities to tackle but its cool, you may have little bills to handle and more time to have fun but I don't have money to spend on gambling. The reason why I said so is that my wager is always in local currency and considering the siuation of dollar rate here, if I use that % on gambling, it is going to be a extravagant life style that may end me up with gambling addiction.

I think Op have not gamble much, if at all he does, he will know how powerful the statement is for a gambler to use the money he cannot afford to lose, so that when you don't win anything, guilt and disappointment will not be the first thing that will come to your mind but where you made mistake and the necessary precautions that where avoided in the first place, learn to put it in practice and you will understand the power of that statement.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 04, 2023, 08:02:49 PM
............................


I think the question should have been what will you do if you win jackpot from a lottery, I can deside to play lottery and win small amount of money, it is only when you win $600k as you describe one can ask on what to do with the money. It seems people are really making big future in lottery these days with the high volume of success story I've been reading for the past days, if I should have such amount according to my country valuation of Naira against dollar, I know that I have made it in life.

Asking opinions of others on what they will do depends on individuals, I have seen people make fortune from gambling only to stay lowkey as if they never made anything, there are quite some players build houses after making such kind of money and there are some that have also lost everything on the same lotter again after winning the first one. But my advice is that I will put into a good used as I have said such amount when converted to my local currency is a huge money with less tax.

In addition to my plan, I will set up a business that will be giving me a passive income daily so that I can have confidence of generating liquid money every 24 hours so that my eyes will not go to gambling, it will serve as a way to remove my attention from gambling and also establish another business that will bring huge money biweekly or monthly, anything that will remove my attention from gambling for that time will be my main focus and will make sure my plans are well excecuted to avoid any regrets.

Two rumors came from Manchester United who are reportedly interested in Tchouameni and also Leon Goretzka. It is unlikely that Tchouameni's transfer will materialize, considering that Real Madrid really protects their players and no other team is allowed to touch him. Meanwhile, Leon Goretzka is likely a pretty good candidate for Manchester United because we know that Bayern Munich are still confused about the transfer of Harry Kane, who has not met a common ground about negotiating an expensive fee.

On the other hand, it looks like Manchester United wants to really tidy up their midfield for the better next season and therefore they still need a good midfielder in order to get the results they want. So far there has been no official offer from Manchester United for these two targeted players.

Are there any updates on Real Madrid that I have missed, or can we still trust the transfer market? Reports that Manchester United is interested in Leon Georezka may be true, but I'm not sure whether the same is true for Tchouameni. Unless there is abuse taking place under Real Madrid's wing, it will be the last move he wants to make right now. Under normal conditions, he is properly cared for by everybody, and the terms of his current contract are excellent despite his improved performance in the club.

Real Madrid has more options than Manchester United to win every cup and trophies in most of the high valued league except he want to have Premier League but at the start of his career, it is still early for all this drama, he just a year old in Real Madrid, it will be unwise to move to Manchester United right now. The Manchester united that Erik Ten Hag manage will not spalsh such kind of money on him, not that he doesn't worth the amount but at the stage, that is going to be the least move they will want to make right now.
990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 04, 2023, 07:33:20 PM
Arsenal made a big progress in the previous season. Despite being a team full of young players they competed really hard for the Premier League title. Arteta has his system working really well now. He will need to transfer the same thing to the Champions League as well. I know this is a different environment so they will need to play extra careful.
Arsenal really surprised us all last season they played more than expectation. Arteta really transformed the team even without signing big money players they fought really hard till the end but unfortunately they couldn’t keep because of injuries and lack of squad depth. Lets just hope they can bring the same spirit as last seasons to the champions league this coming season. There has been a lot of changes in the squad especially in the midfield that is the heart of the team so i hope they can have similar performance as last season because some players needs time to adapt so i hope the new players blend in perfectly as soon as possible.

The more I look at Arsenal, the more I see hope because of what they display last season and I think we are making another history of Arsene Winger in the Premier League but thos time, we are not winning only the English Premier League, we are also coming for the Champions League no matter how they be liitle our effort because Areteta is the only team that has come close to greatest of all time Managers Arsenal ever had in a single season, there is more to unwrapped this season.

I'm afraid to say that Midfieders are not the number one priority Arsenal need to reshuffle, they need to solidify their Forward once more, they wouldn't survive with Nketiah for long and Godforbid, it will be a heartache if Nketiah have injury, that is what some other oppenents may look on and if Arsenal becomes the leader in their group stage or after round of 16, there will be such kind of temptations from other teams, Arteta need to work on that aspects.
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 03, 2023, 10:32:05 PM
Another sad news for Arsenal and Arsenal supporters as Gabriel Jesus suffers another injury problem.The Brazillian international picked up a kneel injury that requires surgery in training as they were preparing ahead of the match against Monaco,where they lifted the Emirates cup through penalties as Nketiah deputized for the injured striker.Nketiah was on the score sheet as he equalises and levelled the game 1:1.
Gabriel Jesus' injury means that Edie will be used as the striker to lead the line,or Trosard will be used to be the striker infront.Thus seems to be a bad news because when Gabriel is in the team,his contribution makes everyone better on the field.His pace and dribbling skill is very important to the team,and he will really be missed by his team mates.
Yes, this is unfortunate news because every player on the Arsenal team is crucial right now.

I believe Arsenal can still play fantastic football without Gebriel Jesus starting because, as you mentioned, they have Nketiah, Trosard, and Folarin Balogun, even though it is unclear whether Balogun will stay with Arsenal at the start of the season.

According to Arteta, the athlete had knee surgery as a result of some feelings he was having; therefore, they believe it is preferable for him to have the operation now and miss out for a few weeks. He underwent successful surgery and will miss three Premier League games.

I think Nketiah has not been given a chance to show him self during matches anytime Gabriel Jesus is not around but I still like how he always prove wrong Arteta anytime they substitute him or start him in most of the matches but as soon as their favorite Gabriel came back, they abandomed Nketiah only for him to rescue them against Monaco in their last match, but regardless of that I'm sartifeid on the remix of Nketiah in matches, bro knows how to cook opponent team very well.

So the Injury was more than like that, why didn't he fully recover before leaving for last matches in the Premier League, he was away for about 5 month only to rush back into the ending of the last season. Look now, he will miss 2 month at least if that is going to be the a surgery. Arteta should manage the available players and the mix of the new ones they have bring into the club like Rice and others, they are closing to the Champions League trophy than never.
992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 03, 2023, 10:15:48 PM
It seems that one by one the players who are the talk of the town have started to get a club and will play there, including Osimhen who will most likely remain at Napoli.
Paris Siant Germain, brought in Dembele, to be honest I didn't really hear that he would work with Paris Siant Germain, maybe it was closed to talk about Mbappe's future whether he would stay with Psg to spend his contract period or Psg really sold him, because he didn't want him to leave with free agent status. It will be interesting to see the new combination up front for Paris Saint Germain.

There might still be a slight probability for Osimhen to leave maybe. Real Madrid still haven't signed a main striker and they must be looking for someone. Maybe they might be interested in Osimhen but on the other hand his cost is really high. I don't think his salary would be too much considering how much he makes at Napoli.

The problem is his probable asking price. I think it would be no less than 120 million euros which is his current value. Real Madrid will bring Mbappe as well most probably later on. Thinking that I don't know if they would be very keen on spending this much on Osimhen transfer this summer.

I hope you see why Mbape is yet to sign a deal with all the clubs that have been weting money on his foot, it is the same reason Osimhen is still hanging around with Napoli. Who doesn't like money but as a young player who have much ambition to accomplish to leave a legacy for your name and reputation and that is why we still hear the names like Maradona, Pele around us till today, those are the legends of footballs we cannot forget, they never played for money, it was passion for football that brings the money.

It will be shocking for everyone by the time Mbape refuse to move for free to Real Madrid after having a deal with the new club of his intension, he is better in PSG like that but not having the Champions League is making him need to go to another club but I don't know what he is going to do when he never get luck to win the Champions League because he has play along side with Hakeem, Messi, and yet, they didn't make it to anywherem.

I agree, the English Premier League this season is looking interesting, especially with teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal showing promising performances last term. It will be intriguing to see how Arsenal and Newcastle maintain their form and surprise us again. While Manchester City is considered the favorite, I believe other top teams will provide tough competition and ensure they don't go unchallenged. Expect surprises and fierce competition in the English Premier League this season!
I can't wait to switch to sport channel to start watching live games from EPL. Pep Guardiola is the top coach who will lead his side to the final stages of the English Premier League next season, but he will face a bit of competition from other head coaches striving for the league title; it will not be a straight-forward run up. Next season, expect outstanding results from teams, particularly elite clubs. Given the high purchase clauses of players, no club would want to be left behind this season, with each club working harder to bring in their ultimate objectives.

Isn't it too early to predict that Guardiola will lead his side to the final stage again? Arsenal was there throughout the entire journey until we encountered some obstacles (and a few players with "crack bones" Grin) which caused a drop in our performance. Nevertheless, we have managed to bounce back, even with Gabriel Jesus suffering a K leg injury, and now we are stronger than ever, determined to fight for the dream of becoming champions of the Premier League. It won't be an easy task, but Arsenal can achieve it with some strategic formation adjustments. What brings me even more joy is that Manchester City will be facing their early failures with Burnley, potentially opening the door for us to beat Nothingham forest ASAP.  Roll Eyes

This world cup is replicating the same surprises we saw in Qatar. It was a wonderful display by the South African team. I never thought they will match the quality of the Italian side. I thought the first goal by the Italian will demoralize the Bayana Bayana, but I was wrong. They kept on fighting till they got the equalizer and scored the second and the winner in the extra timw. They deserve to win against a highly ranked side, Italy is ranked 16 and South Africa 54. South Africa has now joined Nigeria as two African teams that have qualified for the second round of the world cup.


I think its a little bit different than what happen in Qatar, I didn't see any of the teams that lots of people were having high hope on, led down in the first match only for them to qualify to knockout stage the way Argentina did, there femal counterpart were disqualified right in the group stage without winning a single match out of the 3, they were able to drew 1 which gave them 1 point. Portugal didn't impress me like their goat, South Korea and Morroco were disqualified as well, even when Morroco made good come back in the second match of the group stage but have last match against Colombia. If Colombia lose to them, the both of them will qualify to the knockout stage.

Quote
The Brazilian female team will have themselves to blame for wasting several clear opportunities to get at least a goal. The Jamaican goalkeeper put up some good saves but the Brazilian team had clear chances to win the game. Congratulations to the Jamaican team for a wonderful defensive display. They have a very hardworking team that ensured they marked effectively and limited the flow of balls to the attack of the Samba girls. This is another surprise game because Brazil in ranked 8th and Jamaica sits at 43rd position of FIFA rankings.

Brazil had an incredible opening by finishing Panama with 4 goals to nill, who would have thought that they will be remove after the group stage, the next mistake they made was losing to France when they should have draw with the plenty of opportunities they had and the final worst they did was drewing with Jamaica that needed a single point to qualify to the knockout stage, they should learn there lesson from the mistake.

Now Fabinho to Ittihad. The transfer fee is accurate to his marketvalue, it look like a "normal" transfer fee. He leaves Liverpool and receives a contract at Ittihad Club until 2026. He will play with Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante there. The transfer fee 46.7 million euros, with a market value of 42 million euros. With 29 years, he kann play easy till 32.
Seeing the number of experienced and good players joining the Saudi pro league this summer, I must confess that I am now interested in following the Saudi league. Fabinho joining Karim Benzema And Ngolo Kante at Ittihad will further boost the team’s improvement for the coming season. I believe this league will be very competitive with the admissions this summer. Everything that was predicted when Ronaldo joined Al Nassr is happening.

The most interesting part of this moves is that they are still requesting for more good players and I wonder if they had plans to move all the European players to Saudi Arabia. Look at the players they are signing from the season transfer window opened, most of them may look older but most of them were all present in the Champions League last two season before the just concluded one, Saudi pro league has never go public this way before and I still wonder where they source this money.

I am also interested in this league but there is restriction of language barrier, everything they do always prescribed in Arabic and make difficult in entertaining, I don't enjoy watching ball more if everything they do is in language I don't hear, commentators the same thing. Even in laliga, Seria A and Bundesilga still speaks english for the world to understand but English is hard thing Saudi will every adopt.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 02, 2023, 09:22:13 PM
I knew that there's many topic like this in the past that asking advice about loaning for gambling. The intention of this thread is determined what's the actual feeling when you are using a loan money on gambling knowing that there's an interest rate on your borrowed money which means you already lose part of your money before you start gambling.

I saw many high rank users here that asking for loan and directly deposit the loan amount on gambling account. I want to know what's the experience on using loan money. Is there additional pressure on gameplay or just the same using regular money without an interest rate.

I never pray for a day to come that will push me to borrow money to gamble, I will play willingly and peaceful mind with the available balance I have on me and not with the money I don't have to the leangth of taking loan because I will never have peace of mind to use that money wisely. Theere will be high pressure mounted on me on the part not to do mistake and how to repay the loan without losing the game and situations like, I am bound by faith to always lost. I'm not lucky with this kind of games when it comes to gambling with the money that was never mine.

It possible that the guy who requested for the loan probably had an alternative to pay back the loan and I think the high rank account or person behind the account has work they are doing in the forum else, they wouldn't grant the loan in the first place. Having signature is like having a way to earn while making quality post would be able to payback such kind of loan with ease and time, so I think they are just using those money to pass time with gambling.

Yes Arsenal have won only local championships in team history. Maybe they could have achieved the Champions League title in their past when they had great players such as Thierry Henry. Now they are building their future with young and talented players. Arteta has done a really good work with this squad so far. There was a big improvement last season. But it is still doubtful if they can show the same performance in the Champions League as well. It has been a while since they joined this tournament the last time.

But if we see consistency in the Champions League as well they can at least be good enough to get past group stage. It is up to having a good draw as well of course.
Arteta has done so much work for arsenal by bringing young players for next season and this will definitely improve arsenal without no doubt but I'm not so sure if arsenal will have that energy to win the Champions league. Arsenal failed to win Premier league last season and the main target for arsenal next season should be  winning Premier league,  it won't be easy for arsenal to be fighting for Premier league and champions league because the team is just coming up, it will be better they go after one trophy.  

Having Emirate cup is another confirmination that Arsenal is ready to battle in the Champions League but at what expenses did that cost Arsenal. Today, I observed that Gabriel jesus was absent even on the bench, till I later realised that he has a knee injury from their last match with Barcelona, it is not a good signed from Gabriel but Nketiah did a good justice by equalizing the goal for Arsenal which made them draw until the last minute of the match before they proceeded to penalty and Arsenal as become 7th time Emirate cup winners.

It will exhusting for Arteta for the continue injury of Jesus, had it been Nketiah was not on ground, it will be a heavy task for Arsenal to play well just that I think its when Gabriel Jesus is not around Arteta use Nketiah and he never failed to disappoint. If Jesus career is going to continues in this dimension, the earliar they sell him for any club that want him so they can invest the money on another striker, they have  now qualified for the Champions league which means there is more work to be done unlike when they use to play only the Premier league.

999  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I Use Emergency funds or Sell my Assets ? on: July 30, 2023, 10:42:47 AM
If you start using the emergency fund or the assets, then you'll get used to it. Whenever the inflation makes a mark you'll keep on spending to have the cushioning effect. This needs to be avoided. Good choice is to try to live with what is available. Inflation have caused heavy rise in the price of each and everything, we need to limit on purchase or we should look for additional earning source with which we can meet the additional expenses happening out of inflation.

Rather than take sell assets when the available is scarce or empty, I will take loan to relax the economy effect on my self because as you said, inflation is very scary right now and selling your assets at cheap price means you may be buying them at 2x or 3x price in the future because to sell assets that are not appreciating like land and others, it means they will be sold at lower price which is another lost on it own, loan would be the most easiest way to avoid this future uncertainty and problems.

Further more, by taking loan; It should done in the amount that will not exceed what he earn monthly or yearly because when you do and bills pile up, you will be left between path of selling anything you used the loan for and what pay the bills and if they have not appreciated over time, that will be another loss again, it is always advisable to do good mathematics and check the conditions if they are favourable or not before taking any loan.
1000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Advise People To Stake? on: July 30, 2023, 10:27:11 AM
I'm a beginner so I put it in the Beginners & Help section.

Coinbase offers "Cosmos" with a yearly annual return of 17.66%.
I did some research on Cosmos and its future looks bright.
On my research, it says to only Stake on huge platforms, such as Coinbase.
I realize the drawback is you freeze your funds for a certain amount of time.
The other drawback is because of Crypto's ups and downs, you might lose money if it goes down. But that's true of any crypto, including BTC.

As far as I can tell, the annual return stays at 17.66% for the duration.
Is there any drawback I'm missing?
Why don't people just buy Cryptos that they can stake?

The best time to stake should always be during crypto winter, it's always easy to buy coins at cheap price and stake them, you will enjoy the APY and the profit when there is pump in the market or when the bull run comes around. Staking coins or token should be discourage during bullrun because in this period, the crypto market can be extra voltile in which buying at the top might give loss and staking it again will add to it because staking contracts wouldn't allow you to unstake until the period of staking is finished and you will continue to have loss is possible and the APY profits wouln't be enough to compesate your loss.

For me, I don't like staking due to the security concerns in smart contracts and hack that always happen in the backend, many people have lost thousands of dollars because of this features in altcoins and don't have money to invest again, if the token stake are not teams or venture capitals that are always the ealry bird to avoid token price crash, I don't like staking a bit because the common investors don't gain anything from it, they are always the losers.
