Wow, yesterday games almost made a repeat of last weekend games. Last week all the Saturday games played both teams to score and just yesterday we almost saw a repeat of that. Out of 7 matches played yesterday in the league, 6 out of it played both teams to score except for the Nottingham Forest Vs Sunderland game where Nottingham Forest failed to score.

Yesterday's games surprised everyone because the big teams were defeated, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool, Brighton defeated Chelsea, and Brentford defeated Manchester United. The only big team that won a match yesterday was Manchester City. I am not surprised by the defeat of Manchester United and Chelsea because Manchester United's performance is not good, and Chelsea's performance is also not good because of some players who are injured, but I was surprised by the defeat of Liverpool.

Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool at the end of the game with bad defending by the team, after equalising in the game, I was expecting Liverpool to defend well and end the game draw, I know that Crystal Palace is a very strong team and they always play well against the big teams, but Liverpool should at least defend well at the end, Crystal Palace have not lost any game this season and the way the team is playing against every team shows that they are playing well as a team.

I tell you Kane will never back to the EPL club.  Even if his contract won't be extended by Bayern, he will not go to Saudi or USA. He will continue his journey in Barcelona instead.  Cheesy
Bayern Munich will renew his contract, Munich are okay with keeping older players in the squad, to it Harry Kane is a very good player that hardly drops performance, that will make them have in demand.

Harry Kane is the special kind of player to have in a team, he moves from helping in defence to playing as a midfielder and yet he score goals as a quality striker. He's job in the Premier League is over, after playing in Germany, next should be Saudi league.

With what Harry Kane is doing in Bayern Munich, the team will renew his contract very soon and keep him for more than two seasons. Bayern Munich is a club that keeps old players as long as they can still perform well and help the team. Muller was not doing better than Harry Kane and they kept him for many seasons. Harry Kane is still good when it comes to scoring goals, although many of his goals this season were penalties, but that doesn't mean he isn't doing well for the team.

If Harry Kane leaves Bayern Munich, who is the better striker on the market that Bayern Munich will sign? I don't see any young strikers that Bayern Munich can buy. I've heard rumours that Bayern Munich wants to keep Jackson in case Harry Kane decides to leave. Bayern Munich should not make a big mistake by signing Jackson because it will cost them a lot of money and they will be disappointed with Jackson's performance at the end.

This question is extremely difficult to answer because we are discussing inheritance, but inheritance is for your family, not a single person, and if you know that you have children and a wife, then your Bitcoin should be handed over to your wife so that even if you pass away, she can handle the inheritance and do what is right about it. When it comes to bitcoin as an inheritance, you should not tell any of your children about it since it will be a problem in the end because the one who knows about it will always feel in control of it and can keep it to himself.

The reason I said your password, seed phrase, and everything else should be given to your wife is because she is your partner, and if you trust her, nothing will go wrong when you die. However, when it comes to inheritance, everyone will forget about your death and start fighting for your inheritance, so when you give your inheritance, make sure you give it to someone you believe will not cause problems in the end.

Today, a competitive match will be held between these two teams, Athletic Madrid vs Real Madrid. In today's match between the two teams, I have made a prediction that Real Madrid will play a significant role in winning. Because Real Madrid is strong in both attack and defense, I have placed a small bet on Real Madrid for today's match. How much do you think my bet will play in winning?

Despite Atletico Madrid being at home, I think Real Madrid is still the favourite to win the match. I know it's a derby match and it has been for Real Madrid to defeat Atlético Madrid at home for the past few seasons, but with Real Madrid's current performance, they are capable of defeating Atlético Madrid. Atlético Madrid's performance was not good enough to defeat Real Madrid, and when they play against Real Madrid, they always take the game seriously and want to win, but I don't think that will happen given their poor performance.

The only people who can stop Real Madrid from winning the match are the referee and Atlético Madrid fans. The referee can do what they normally do to ensure Real Madrid does not win the match, and Atlético Madrid fans will throw objects on the pitch to distract Real Madrid players. This is the game that all Real Madrid players should play well and win.

I feel bad for the person who got scammed because it is very painful to lose what you have been holding for years, but I want to ask questions, did that person learn about crypto or anything about investment before he started his crypto journey, because I understand why someone who is able to hold his coin from 2023 will now send his seed phrase to someone he didn't know from anywhere, I understand that no one is perfect, and no one is above to mistakes, but as someone who is not new to cryptocurrency, you can not look so cheap to scammers.

If a person has been in crypto for a long time, even a year, he will know how to secure his wallet, private keys, and seed phrase. Even a newbie can secure their wallet and protect themselves from scammers. When you know you are holding bitcoin or any other valuable coin, you should know that your seed phrase and private key must be protected at all costs. We must be careful and know what we are doing online.

Yes but the main problem for Chelsea with Palmer taking a rest is the same as always, who replace him? Some player can fit on the team but is not the same at all, they dont have another star like him and they dont have a super decissive player to replace him, but well Marezca needs to find one to have a good rotation.

Chelsea should be careful when playing against Brighton, otherwise, they will be surprised by what happens in the game. Brighton has always performed well against big teams including Chelsea, and now that some of Chelsea's key players will be absent, it will have an impact on them. This is the time for Enzo Maresca to use his best lineup so that he can play well against Brighton while also defending well.

Chelsea's performance has been poor in recent games, and in their last three games, Brighton has won two, shows how strong Brighton has been against Chelsea. I will not be surprised if Brighton defeat Chelsea because Chelsea always struggles to win games when Cole Palmer is injured, but if Chelsea wants to remain among the top teams in the table, they must win this game.

I commented yesterday that Al Nassr would come out of this game with a victory, they hired a good coach and that is very clear this season, they managed to win today without conceding a goal and scored 2 goals, with this very important victory they remain at the top of the table with 12 points, they have a 3 point advantage over second and third place, if they can maintain this consistency



So they can finally become champions this season. Jorge Jesus has always been a great coach. In every team he's been in, he's managed to make the team play well and fight for the title. There's no doubt that Al Nassr's management made a good choice in hiring him.

The way Al Nassr has been performing this season, it looks like they are the favourites to win the league this season, their defence is strong, and their attackers can score goals to win every game they play. Al Nassr is fortunate to have Jorge Jesus as their coach, he is a good coach, and it appears that Ronaldo understands that the man can change the team, which is why he called the man when Al Nassr wanted to sign him and asked him to come and coach them.

Anyone in charge of signing players for Al Nassr understands how to sign players because signing Joao Felix and Coman is one of the best signings for the team, and defeating Al Etihad 2-0 with a clean sheet shows that Al Nassr is ready to win a trophy this season. Al Nassr players should just focus on winning a major trophy for the team so that the team does not regret signing Ronaldo.

Is it really a big mistake to sell portion of your bitcoin and then rebuy back when the price has dip?
in my opinion, it’s not a mistake. by doing this, you are increasing your amount of bitcoin. if you know when a dip might happen, you can sell some or half of your bitcoin before that. but if you sell without knowing and it leads to a loss, then it’s your loss. everyone wants to increase their bitcoin holdings because bitcoin is digital gold. if you can save it now, you won’t need to look for an income source in the future. if you have any early warning signs, then doing this is a good choice.


How could you sell your bitcoin and then decided to buy when the dip happen? How did you know the dip would happen? It is a mistake to sell your bitcoin and then try to buy it when the dip comes, as this shows that you are not an investor and are attempting to use Bitcoin as a business. If you want to buy bitcoin when there is a dip, you should save the money for that specific time to buy it. Investing in bitcoin should always be a long-term investment strategy, and you should never consider selling it in any situation.

Selling your bitcoin and wanting to buy when you know the dip is coming is a bad idea, and it shows that you can't hold for a long time. I don't think someone who understands bitcoin will do that, or is it that the person wants to sell his bitcoin and use the method to cover it up so that people don't realise he can't hold it for a long time.

The only match to be played today is between Bayern Munich and Bremen, and leaders Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be the favorite. We all know Bayern Munich is very good. Bremen have lost two and won only one in four matches. I don't think they can do much against Bayern Munich away. If they can get a point, it would be good news for them, because getting a point from Bayern Munich would be their extra win this year. I think Bayern Munich will win easily.

Bayern Munich is the favourite to win the match, but it will not be an easy win for Bayern Munich because Bremen is a small team that always plays well against big teams, some small clubs always play well against big teams, and Bremen is one of the small teams that always play well against big teams, Bayern Munich should not underestimate them, otherwise, they will shock them by scoring an opening goal in the match, Bremen has young players, which is why I don't want Bayern Munich to underestimate them.

Bayern Munich has won every game this season, including the Champions League game against Chelsea, and they are the clear favourite to win the Bundesliga title while also having a good season in the Champions League, but Bremen can surprise them because this is football and anything can happen. Bremen is a team that always finds a way to score goals even if they do not win the match, so Bayern Munich must be careful.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: self control on: September 26, 2025, 11:33:28 AM
You will never get rich in life by saving money, because inflation comes, which will definitely affect your money, no doubt about that. The best way to get rich is by taking risks, and if you are not ready to take risks, you will hardly get rich. That is just the fact. But other people think you can get rich by self control, yet that will only happen if you dedicate yourself to investment and stop unnecessary spending, just to invest more for your future. If you are concerned with the luxury lifestyle, you will definitely stay where you are without improvement, and luxury lifestyle pays nothing. It only helps to run down your account balance.

So, self control is good if you are investing and not afraid to take risks. But if you are hoping to get money by luck, then you are deceiving yourself, as the chance of luck is 0.01% out of 100%. It is not a possible thing for everyone. You need more experience and risk taking before you can get rich.

You are right, without risk, you cannot get rich; in this life, you have to take the risk to be able to achieve what you want, people who we see today as successful people take the risk and take advantage of the opportunity to achieve their goals; it is not written in anyone that we are going to get rich in the same way, however, we should try to take risk in different ways to know where we are destined to get rich, people who take risk are human like us and they did not have magic or two heads.

As a young person, you must remember that you will face many challenges in life, and you must face those challenges without fear. Saving our money in a bank account will not only help us to become rich because at the end we will only have the amount we saved, but by taking the risk and investing in bitcoin and being patient with the investment, we will achieve something we never imagined.

Simeone says this after a short time Alvarez's name has started to be called with Barcelona. They say he is wanted by them next summer. I'm not sure about Alvarez to stay as long as Atletico Madrid go on inconsistently because of Simeone.  Tongue

I doubt if Barcelona has all it takes to secure this move.
They watched him Join their rivals and where never interested until now. Alvarez is a crucial player for Diego Simeone, so I don't think it would be an easy task for Barce. And if Atletico madrid feels that they might eventually lose him to Barce at some point, then they might have to sell him quickly because City didn't take it easy on them on his(Alverez) fees. But at this point, Alverez is still a very crucial player, so they need to secure him.

Barcelona can not sign Alvarez, all rumours are false; Alvarez will stay and play for Atletico Madrid for a long time, and the club will go to any length to keep him there, forget that Atletico Madrid is not winning trophies, the club has money, and they can pay any of their favourite players just to keep them. Atletico Madrid needs Alvarez in the team, especially when they have been struggling since the start of the season, he is the one who steps up and scores goals to help the club win some games.

If Barcelona signs Alvarez, they will face serious problems before they can register him. Signing Alvarez will cost Barcelona more than $100 million, and I don't think Barcelona has that kind of money to buy a player at this point. 40 million signings have become an issue for Barcelona, and they want to sign Alvarez for $100 million, Barcelona signing Alvarez is a joke.

Barcelona feels they have the potential and therefore the fact that they are behind Real Madrid bothers them, so the two points of difference, in my opinion, are like waving a red flag in front of the bull.
This advantage could be, so to speak, a double-edged sword for Real Madrid.
The draw with Rayo is what has put them with two points behind Real Madrid. Real Madrid is not giving any chance to their opponents to draw any of their matches because they know how important the full points are to them. I am looking forward to see which club will be tough for Madrid to play that will make them to drop points. Real Madrid will play against Atletico Madrid tomorrow, it will be fun watching this match despiye the fact that Atletico Madrid isn't in form.

Real Madrid will make sure they get the three points against Atletico Madrid because they know that if they drop any points at this moment, it will affect them and drop them from the top of the table. The match against Atletico Madrid will be very tough because the derby match is always tough, even when Atletico Madrid are not in good form, they always played well against Real Madrid. Real Madrid this season is different from the Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti, they are different from last season.

The match will not be easy for Real Madrid because Atletico Madrid players always turn up against Real Madrid and play like players in their primes. Xabi Alonso will do everything to keep his unbeaten record, and with the way Mbape, Vinicius, and other Real Madrid players have played this season, they will do everything to defeat Atletico Madrid and keep them at the top of the league table.

I don hear about this news too and the thing don dey happen no be today, you see people wey dey sell SIM card, na them dey cause it, because when you went and buy SIM card and they used your NIN to register the SIM card, they will not delete it and be using your NIN number to register another people number when they don’t have NIN, some criminals will come and buy SIM card and they will not ask him to bring their NIN or they can’t register SIM card for them, they only care about selling and make money.

This thing have happened to my friend before, his SIM card was block and he is not using it again, and then they called the same number and someone pick the call, remember my friend still have the sim card with him, we have to be careful with people we buy SIM card with, because they are mostly the ones that is linked our NIN and use it to register another people SIM card to another person without not knowing if the person is a criminal or not.

Marseille did what everyone has wanted to do for a long time. They beat Paris Saint-Germain. I think every team in the French league dreams of winning against Paris Saint-Germain. Marseille is very lucky to have done this on their home turf, because winning the Champions League title in front of their home fans was a special pride for the team. So I congratulate them, and I congratulate them for inflicting perhaps their only defeat of the season in this match.

It is a special pride to defeat the best team in the world, the team that defeated almost all of the best teams in the Champions, Marseille is strong in this and they were able to defeat PSG, a team that every team is afraid to play against, when Marseille played against Real Madrid in Bernabeu, I said that Real Madrid were better than last season, if not Marsielle would have defeated Real Madrid in the match, After the match, Marseille's coach revealed that he joined the club to beat PSG because PSG represents power, something he dislike.

I don’t know what the coach thinks after defeating PSG, but that doesn't mean Marseille can win the league title this season. PSG is still the favourite to win the league title, and no matter how bad PSG is, they will always win the league title. Marseille defeated PSG, and we'll have to wait and see where they end up at the end of the season, as well as the teams that will defeat them and drop points.
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to protect your Bitcointalk account from getting hacked. on: September 25, 2025, 11:22:04 AM
I created this thread to help newbies secure their account so they won't get hacked

I wonder why a hacker would want to hack a newbie account when they can literally create a new account, make a few posts, and become a newbie just like that, unless a newbie is too knowledgeable, and has managed to get a good amount of merits early on and then someone else wants to get access to that account because they know they can't achieve that themselves. Smiley

Hackers, or we should say stealers, often target dormant accounts, which means that they look for accounts that have a high rank and have been inactive for a long time, so that they can find a way to access those accounts and then sell them so that they can make some money out of it. It could happen to active accounts as well, but they know it's difficult since those who are active will have tighter security.

Anyway, the tips you've provided are useful, but it's high-ranked users who should make sure they follow them instead of newbies because newbies will barely get targeted. Smiley

Hackers will never go for a newbie account, I don't think so because they will always go for an account that has already been built and ranked up to a high rank. Hackers will always go for what they will benefit from and what will give them what they want easily, they will prefer to create a new account than to hack a newbie account because they will believe they will not benefit from it unless they don't know how to create the account.

Hackers are very wicked people who don't think about how someone will feel when they hacked their account, which is why we should be careful and make sure we protect our accounts and stop them from being hacked, secure your account with a strong password and email that you have access to in case anything happens and you can use it to recover your account, and the most important thing is that don't give your phone or your system that you have your account on to anyone, even your friends.

Deserved by Dembele in the end I think. I wouldn’t have argued about it though if Vitinha had won it. I thought he was superb in the big CL games last season, everything went through him for PSG. He dictates the tempo of how they play.

Any way, new season now. I hope it is a Liverpool player to win it next as that would mean we have likely had a very successful season Wink

A Liverpool player? I don't think any Liverpool player can win the award in the next two seasons, a well-deserved Ballon Dior by Dembele, and if they give it to any PSG player, I will not argue or have any problem with it because they deserve it, Dembele win 2025 Ballon Dior, and some people think that Lamin Yamal also deserve it, I don't know what Yamal did to deserve the Ballon Dior, Raphina was Barcelona's best player last season, and he should be the one that everyone should be talking about winning the award.

Yamal deserves the Kopa trophy he won because he is the best young player in the world right now. This is the first time in the last two years that Ballon Dior has given the award to the true winner; if some teams like Real Madrid do not do what they does with Ballon Dior, they will continue to give the award to the person they like because that is what they always do.

Fenerbahçe lost their UEFA Europa League match under their new manager.
I don't understand what the manager is thinking, what's in his head. He tried to develop a central midfielder from a player like Semedo yesterday. You have players like Fred and Ismail, and he plays well in that position.
Why does Semedo play outside his own zone?
A manager sometimes makes these moves, but he does so in friendly matches. He doesn't do them in a high-profile, serious match like this.
Fenerbahçe has elected a new president. If I were the president, I would fire this manager immediately. He's not the manager Fenerbahçe is looking for.
As for the match itself, I don't understand what Fenerbahçe played. The goals they conceded are goals amateur teams would concede.
I haven't seen any difference between Ederson and Eğribayat yet.

Before the match, some people were saying that Fenerbache can defeat Dinamo Zagreb, and I said that we should not underestimate Dinamo Zagreb because they are playing at home, Dinamo Zagreb is not a small team that we can think that Fenerbache will defeat, Fenerbache current is not good enough to compete in any European competition, and now they will know that sacking Jose Mourinoh can not solve the team's problem, Fenerbache need more experienced players who know how to win games for the team.

I don't think Fenerbache will make it to the semi-finals of the tournament based on their current performance; if Dinamo Zagreb can defeat them 3-1, then the other teams in the tournament are capable of defeating Fenerbache in their next games, Fenerbache should sign good players and stop sacking coaches that are capable to help the team.

What are the basics that the newbie needs to learn about bitcoin before getting started?
I think as a newbie what I need and require to start investing in bitcoin is a discretionary income and a little details and knowledge, how to buy bitcoin and also knowing a safe wallet to hodl our Bitcoin, discretionary income is very important, because some newbies makes that mistake of investing in bitcoin with money meant for paying for their expenses which I think it’s really not an effective way of investing into bitcoin.

I think we can be learning other things while we have already started investing into bitcoin.

The first thing a newbie should know about bitcoin is how to secure their bitcoin and protect their wallet at all costs. This is very important because there are many people outside who are doing everything they can to ruin people's lives by scamming them. The second thing a newbie should understand is that Bitcoin is a long-term investment, bitcoin is not an investment that you should invest today with the expectation that the price will rise in the next month or year; rather, bitcoin should be considered a long-term investment.

The newbie should understand that bitcoin is an investment in which the investor must be patient. Patient is an important factor when holding bitcoin because some newbies are not patient when they see the price of bitcoin falling, some will decide to sell because they do not want to lose their money; if you are not patient, you can not to hold bitcoin for an long period of time. These are some of the things a newbie should know before investing in bitcoin.
