1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dealing with Gambling Fever. on: Today at 05:04:36 PM
Gambling Fever and addiction is related but they differ in terms of duration, severity and even psychological impact that it has on the individual again gambling addiction could even be seen as a health condition because it's could be seen as a gambling disorder while gambling gambling fever is not
The truth is that gambling fever and the addiction can be the same; I don’t think there are differences. Because one thing about gambling is that if a person is into it and he doesn’t reduce the way he gambles every blessed day or time, that’s what can lead him to be addicted to it, and after getting affected,it will be hard to get back to normal life.

That’s why I said that I don’t think they're differ from each other. Because to me they are leading the same way; once they say that person has become addicted to something, not only gambling, we should just take it that the person has found himself in a critical situation.

Of course, brother, Minute is a great team. They do not sell their talented players consistently, but they keep them. Bayern Munich is currently spending money to keep good players in their team and to win the title during the season. In the Bundesliga, they are very focused on becoming champions and if there is a player missing in their team, they try to fill it quickly and the team is very hardworking. Yes, all the other teams do not pay much attention like Bayern Munich, which is why they cannot compete with much excitement at the beginning of the season. However, we think the upcoming season will definitely be exciting and the game will be more competitive, only then will this season be exciting.
Bayern Munich’s aim is to achieve the next coming season’s title; that’s why we can see their main focus is to keep good players in their teams, but that doesn’t mean they will be able to repeat the same thing next coming. Because I can see almost every team also busy signing players for next season, and that’s what will make the season so competitive.

Because I’m sure Leverkusen can also get back to their best form next season. Last season they were left behind due to how they started their season with poor performances, which is why Bayern Munich was able to use the opportunity and have the chance to win the title. And which is what is giving a lot of people the impression that they were ready to repeat the same thing—that they were spending money to keep good players in the teams—but I don’t think it will possibly happen again in the next coming season.

DCA really is the perfect entry point for newbies, because It removes that pressure of perfect timing”and lets people ease in while learning along the way. Volatility becomes less intimidating when you are not throwing in everything at once......And using discretionary income is a smart angle, because It keeps emotions in check and ensures you are  not jeopardizing essentials. Over time, this kind of steady and disciplined approach builds both conviction and confidence are the two things every long term Bitcoiner needs.
When it comes to DCA is the perfect entry points:  for anyone interested in investing in Bitcoin, not only beginners. Because the DCA is the ideal way to invest in Bitcoin to gain market peace of mind, I believe it is a great foundation for both newbie’s to Bitcoin and those who have been holding Bitcoin for a long time.

Sure, if someone first started investing at least 10% to 15% of their income in bitcoin 6 years ago, they would now have a big holdings, with how much bitcoin price has increased over the years. That person might be in a strong position now, perhaps we may even call it overaccumulation.
Normally, that is how Bitcoin investments go; everything is a gradual process, which is why I blame those who said anyone interested in investing in Bitcoin should wait to gather enough capital before purchasing the Bitcoin. Because the investment is not about that, which is why they said we should invest the amount we can afford to lose. This means we can invest in Bitcoin with whichever amount we have at that moment. You see, individuals who began their Bitcoin investment with the percentage you specified earlier are now among the tough people who have held Bitcoin for more than 7 years back now, since as Bitcoin prices rise, so the percentage of their income will be also growing.

I have been connected to the strong current for the past few years and I have a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin but I have recently come to know about this forum. I mainly want to be experienced in the technical aspects of Bitcoin. If I want to become expert in technical and development, please help me with information on what I need to learn and how I can move forward in this regard.
Learning about the technical aspects is very strict. Because everything about the technical aspects is very complex and complicated, anyone who has interest to learn about it most certainly knows about the technical details, and I hope will be active in doing thorough research in order to get more knowledge and experiences on how those technical aspects work.

Because some people think that learning about the technical aspects is very simple, like other aspects that are not that difficult to learn and understand, since it takes some time before comprehending everything about the technical aspects. That’s why it deserves the most attention.

These people who claimed they gamble only a small amount as they just want to have fun doing gambling didn't realize how much they are already losing in the long run, just because of that reason. After losing in their specific session, they will say it's ok since they can afford to lose that amount.
They use that word so that people cannot put eyes on them, and that’s why most of them said that they preferred to use small amounts to gamble since it is just for fun; by the way, the amount of money they lose at times is over their expectations. They think that if they should gamble for fun, they won’t lose till after they realize that the amount of money they lose is what they didn’t expect, and that’s why at the end of the day they will say that they can’t afford to lose that kind of amount, and the thing about gambling is that the moment even those that have been gambling for a while begin to lose the amount they didn’t expect, they won’t have any joy anymore whenever they gamble.

Manchester United was very much liked in this season because at that time they played with good performance and won the match. But they fail due to some weaknesses and not bringing good effort in their players. Newcastle is also a good team to some extent, that is why they are not succeeding. In this season, they should try to succeed by playing well. They have to prepare their players so that they can get into a good position and become a better team. Now this season will be very interesting because every team is trying to improve itself and in the end, what victory will be depends on its success and hard work.
The way Manchester United performed last season, they need a better roster to keep up their standards, especially given how every team is preparing for the upcoming season's league. Manchester United will not go anywhere until they make some changes to their team, as every club is busy bringing in good players.

Manchester United has the ability to face tough teams as well as defeats, but inconsistency is their biggest issue, especially when their performances are poor. And, given their ability to perform well in the Europa League, if they can continue their form for the upcoming season, they will not face many obstacles in any league.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you very addicted to gambling?? on: August 02, 2025, 03:49:48 PM
When someone cannot control their emotions in gambling then they become very addicted to it. While gambling you should remember that it is only for your pleasure never consider it as a means of earning money. Gamble with what you can afford to lose, never gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. When you come back there again to restore your lost money then you become very addicted. So if you consider gambling as a means of earning money then you are a real gambler, you find a way to control yourself.

How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??
Yeah, when it comes to that, a person cannot control himself in the gambling; they find it very easy to be addicted to it, and that’s why we should know how much we are addicted to gambling because the moment a person becomes addicted to gambling, it will be very hard to stop. Because even though you're not winning whenever you bet in gambling, instead of you stepping down, your mind will be deceiving you that if you play more bets, you might win.

The reason why most of the people don’t want to leave gambling is that some claim that it is the source of their income; imagine taking gambling as the source of income. Gambling that you will bet more than a month at time, even if a single win cannot come your way, and where people are still dependent on the gambling as their means of earning money.

Even if Ruben Amorim successfully bring Šeško and Morten Hjulmand back to the team, I don’t think they will still be able to make it to the top 5 in the table before the end of this coming season, because the amount of pressure in the Premier League this season is on another level. But I have hope on them, that even if they are not able to make it to the top 5 this coming season to get to Champions League, I have hope they will be able to make it to Europa League, and from there, they will be able to get their Champions League ticket. But still, let’s see how the summer will end first, and expect a better season for Manchester United.
There’s a possibility that if Rúben Amorim is able to bring those two players into the team, Manchester United can definitely change more than how they’ve been performing in all the seasons. Because if we look at their performances for more than a year now, they have been performing very poorly in almost all the leagues, but I think the best squad is their main problem, and that’s why I said if their coach can try as much as possible to bring those two players to the team, they can improve, and even in the upcoming season, they will see some changes for the team. Even if they didn’t make it into the top 5 in the table for both the Premier League and the Champions League, they will made it into the Europa League, based on how they ended last in the league; because it's like they prefer to perform well in the Europa League more than other leagues.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: August 01, 2025, 10:21:26 PM
Arsenal made remarkable performance last season in the Champions League, it's not easy to reach the Semi finals despite the strong teams they met so for the fact that they have strengthened their squad with the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres and some other players, I believe that they will still perform as they did last season and probably reach the finals this time. The premier league has six teams so am hoping that one of them will reach the finals because if none of them could reach the finals it will be so bad so am anticipating either Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool to reach the finals.
I believe that nobody will deny the fact of how great Arsenal's performances were last season in the Champions League. In fact, many people did not expectthat Arsenal would make it to the semi-final last season because some set of people were saying that Arsenal did not have more Champions League experience players that may have made them perform and make it to the semi-final or final. Seriously, Arsenal really did well in the Premier League and in the Champions League last season, and from my observation of Arsenal for, like, two seasons now, Arsenal is always making progress in the Champions League.

I think if I am not mistaken, Arsenal was disqualified in the quarterfinal in the last two seasons, and last season Arsenal reached the semifinal. That shows that Arsenal is always progressing every season. So now with Arsenal's great new signing, I am expecting more improvements from Arsenal next season in all competitions, especially in the Champions League. It was a striker everyone was thinking that Arsenal lacked, and now they have gotten the great striker.

 In fact, with Viktor Gyokeresi, Arsenal has no problems in the front line now, so most of their wasted chances will likely be converted. As a fan of an English team, you will likely wish for a team from the Premier League to be the one to win the Champions League, despite those also in other leagues who may also be seeing their teams as the best in the league and begging for the best teams.

Good day everyone, I recently joined the forum and I'm still trying to understand so many things. I have been reading Lauda's introductory messages to newbies and I see that there are so many things I need to learn like how I shouldn't trust people and give out my details to anyone.

Please I still need guidelines to help me in my journey to have knowledge about Bitcoin, thanks everyone.

One thing is to ensure you will never regret joining this forum. That means you must be really ready to learn and to know about what brought you to this forum.

That's right. Bitcoin investment sure has a way of taking a part of your life, especially when you decide to get serious with it at a young age and at the same time trying to figure things out. It's just like you've got alot going on in your life and you're trying your best to balance every aspect of your life and still have all the time to focus on your Bitcoin accumulation. It can be intense for real, and it can also be kinda grounding.
Do you imply that a Bitcoin investment can genuinely taking part of young age life who are interested in investing in Bitcoin?  I don't believe that Bitcoin investments cannot tamper with someone's life. Because Bitcoin investments are free to everyone both young and old age, as long as they have the knowledge and capital to purchase Bitcoins, I don't see any way  Bitcoin to take part in some people's lives, which is why Bitcoin has become the best coin in the world, even in terms of investments.

Yeah, the DCA strategy and Investing in Bitcoin can indeed be quite a great way to cultivate some great level of patience and discipline. By sticking to a consistent investment schedule, you'll definitely cultivate that long term mindset and perspective and gradually shift your attention away from thinking about the short term volatility of the market, thereby avoid making impulsive decisions. And yeah, saying No to the short term pleasures can be really tough, and it can even be tougher to navigate relationship with people who literally do not share the same vision with you or don't understand your priorities.
Honestly the best method of for anyone who is interested in investing in Bitcoins is to use the DCA strategy. Because it makes them more comfortable than using any other strategy, even those with other means of income always deal with the DCA's methods because they know it's the simplest approach to invest in Bitcoins, but not everyone comprehends that.

Arsenal usually perform very well in every season but is just that they don't have the luck to win the Premier League. Arteta have do all is best to achieve the league title, but he don't usually get the chance to achieve the trophy. The new sighing that Arteta purchase is a very good striker and I think he will make the team stronger then before. But have not given guarantee that Arsenal will still perform very good to challenge other big club to win the league probably the champions league.
That’s the main problem that Arsenal was facing several years ago: they would make sure they started a season with great performances, but at the end of the league, they would end up achieving nothing. Honestly, Arteta is trying his best to see that Arsenal has achieved a league all season, but unfortunately the team has been in the relegation battle every season by finding the league very difficult to achieve.

This is the best time for you to have guaranteed for Arsenal, because with the new signing that Arteta has made so far, I have so much hope that it can make the team's performance better than their previous performances, so they can be able to challenge even the big clubs in the league next season in both Premier League and the Champions League.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is it important to know others bets? on: July 31, 2025, 09:40:56 PM
when you are placing a bet, do you tend to look at other people's bets? does looking at other bets make you feel more confident or more anxious about your own bets? are there any benefits into noticing which are the most famous bets? just to see which one is the favorite or you do not care and you just want to mind your own business?
I think when it comes to bets, it’s not important for a person to compare his bet with the other people’s. Why is that? We’re individuals with differences, and everyone has his own methods on how to play the bets, and that’s why even if a person tries to know the others bets because he/she wanted exactly what the person had, it will make him waste his money on the bets.

Because what if this person that he/she tries to know his bet on all the predictions is wrong? I don’t think there will be any other options for the person; that's why it is good for us to be very cautious in whateverwe come to do. It will be much better if we can work with our own suggestions for the best way to get the best outcome.

I have been doubting Bayer Leverkusen form ever since flamengo U20 team defeated them in a friendly match. It maybe a less  important match to Bayer Leverkusen but it's says a lot about the team form and also exposes how weak Bayer Leverkusen looks from the inside.
I had the same thought and started doubting Leverkusen after they conceded 5 goals. Maybe we could have tolerated it if they hadn't conceded so many, but allowing 5 goals shows weak defense and an unconvincing attacking force. If Ten Hag truly wants to rebuild his reputation, he should prove himself in all of these pre season matches so that fans don't have to worry. But unfortunately, it seems like Ten Hag will continue to be doubted.
I can see how so many of teams are working hard in this pre-season I’m very sure that next coming season will be a tough one if all the teams can maintain their lead and keep the momentum moving forward with a strong and well balanced, they will be a a lot of challenge in for each an every teams next season.

 Because I knows that Ten Hag can truly rebuild his reputation to make all the fans have confidence in him against next season, and i I don’t think he will be having too much headache from the Leverkusen squad; since already the team are still in good form with the best players and i hope everything will move smoothly for them.

Manchester United no doubt performed well against Bournemouth, and we have to praise them for that. Let me just say that the squad delivered the best performance we had hoped for since last season. Cunha was not in their squad yesterday; the manager chose to rest him due to fatigue, and we saw how the players performed with amazing results against Bournemouth, Dorgu is also starting to develop.
I was really shocked with the Manchester United performances against Bournemouth. Because I wasn’t expecting that kind good performances from them with the way they end the season with a bad performances, this proves that their manager is ready to bring the team to a well standard and they keep it up in that way I don’t think they will their going to face any challenges next season.

Højlund improved in this game and scored the opening goal, although he may not do well in the league due to his low scoring record. Manchester United is looking for a new striker due to Højlund's failure to reach the team expectations. However, it is clear that he is working hard to improve and claim his position in the team. I hope they deliver better results next season.
That’s all about the football the players that people where that is the once bring a failure to the teams at times they will be the one to bring out a positive results for the team, and that’s what happened their match against Bournemouth. The was prepared to buy new strikers that him can replace in the Højlund position against next season, but luckily he has prove them wrong by working hard in the game also opening the first goal with a great performance.

• There is risk in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general but when you accurately do your own research, you will be able to make calculated risks and this will prevent you from losing funds more than you can handle.

• It will help you understand the purpose of bitcoin and it's long term potential instead of only focusing of its short term price movement..

 While making your own research, it is good you source information from reliable and trusted sources. Use reputable platforms to get the most information...
 Some recommendations are
• Bitcointalk
• Cointelegraph
• Coindesk
• Decrypt
 
Yeah, both Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are involved in the risks; it's just that they has a limit on like, the trading. But the best way to avoid the risks in both of them is what you’ve mentioned earlier, which is to do our own deep research on how they operate. Because even though people say that there are a lot of risks in the Bitcoins, and you know how you can handle it by calculating the risks that are involved, you will never have a problem with the Bitcoins and cryptocurrency.
This is your recommendation; it can really help those that are finding it difficult to source out the information concerning the Bitcoin. I think those platforms can actually help them a lot after they’ve done with their own research about the Bitcoin.

19  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Take the security of your crypto assets seriously on: July 30, 2025, 06:30:20 PM
A lot of us have been exposed on different ways of securing our crypto assets by keeping the private security information away from a third party and all that but today i want to specify on the use of biometrics like fingerprints or face detection to protect your crypto assets. A lot of the centralized exchanges uses biometrics to log in and also perform transactions such as in withdrawal of funds and also in p2p platforms but it is unwise to use fingerprints to secure your crypto assets because we live in an evil world where nobody can be trusted, even the closest person to you can have evil plans for you because most of the time, the people that plans your downfall are not far away from you especially those who chill out with friends on outings like clubbing, partying or just hanging out for a drink, you can be drugged and since they know that your fingerprints can grant access to your funds, they can take advantage of your unconscious moments to undue you so we really need to be careful. Something happened recently that prompted me to create this topic but am not good at narrating events that happened but however, we should just be very security wise with our log in details. Please do not use fingerprints or biometrics to protect your crypto assets.
This thread can be useful for all of us here since it is concerned about privacy, and when it comes to cryptocurrency, it is very important for us to know how to secure our assets well to avoid any other scam from getting access to our funds or assets. Because there are some people that only have knowledge about the crypto, but they lack methods on how they can keep their information saved.

The issue of biometrics is something we are supposed to be very careful about. It’s good for us to know where to use biometrics, not on everything. We are able to use biometrics. As you said earlier in this thread, not everyone can be trusted in this life we’re living in now; even a closer friend can’t be trusted anymore because, most of the people around us, not everyone wants to see our success.

Most of the exchanges have imported the global technology by using biometrics in every exchange to make it easy for people in terms of logging in to the exchanges, just to make it easier for them. They don’t know this can be dangerous, as the scammers can find it easy to get access to people’s assets. I think for the iPhone users the Face ID is even better than the fingerprints, because it will be hard for them to take advantage of unconsciousness. It is only the fingerprints; they are able to use unconscious moments to get what they want from the person.
20  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Lack of patience can make you lose everything in your Bitcoin journey. on: July 30, 2025, 05:04:42 PM
I notice that many investors are really interested in Bitcoin investment. most of them are due to impatience that makes them lose the opportunity that they will get to achieve their goal in Bitcoin. We should always keep in mind that anything that will bring you profit requires you to have patience before you can totally achieve the reward. Bitcoin is among the best if you invest in the coin, it will minimize your risk and still get you profit on it.
Normally in life everything deals with patience, but that’s what most of the investors didn’t understand whenever they came to invest. Some people think that investing is something that within a week or month they can get what they want. They’re unaware that to achieve good things in life does not come easy; it always takes a little time.

The way they said education is the key to success, that is how you need that patience before you can be educated and have the experience and achieve your goals on it. So many people that are willing to invest in Bitcoin need to keep in mind that they won't get huge profits on Bitcoin if they are not patient and invest for the long term.

1. Patients lead to success.
One thing about patience is that even if a person has the knowledge and experience about what he/she has come to do, with their lack of patience, there’s no way they can achieve their goal, and that’s why they said that patience is the best key to success, but most of the people didn’t comprehend that, which is why they easily failed in the investments. Because the person that invested in the Bitcoins in the short period of time cannot be expected to get huge profits; that’s impossible.

2. Patient make things possible in the future if you didn't giveup.

3. Patience makes you more confident that you will achieve profit on Bitcoin or any steady businesses you are into.

4. Patience makes you stronger than before, and continue fighting until you achieve your goals in any way you find yourself.

5. Patients make you think wisely to figure out your problems.
Yeah, those are all things that, if a person has them, can definitely make their dream come true in the future, but people think that without patience they can achieve what they want in investments, whereaswith patience they can be able to sit well and make a good decision for themselves and also think positively.
