WHAT IS A COMPETITIVE ECONOMY
A competitive economy is an economy where no single seller or buyer has a monopoly over the market in terms of influencing the price of the market but market price is only regulated by the forces of simple demand and supply, It should be noted that a competitive economy is usually associated with free entry and exit without any interference or protection by an state a competitive economy gives all participants a level playing ground without any unfair advantage by any party a competitive economy is efficient because firms can't make excessive profit because Competition brings down the cost of production over time which gives rise to economic stability and prosperity. I wrote this thread because of the tariffs that the united states of America has imposed on the rest of the world which is meant to protect their own economy but looking critically at this very move by the trump administration it is actually a suicidal attempt to put the United State economy into problem going forward because the fact remains that the trump administration is aimed at protecting the United States of America economy from competition which is not a healthy one because a careful look at history and looking at how the super economic Powers of today such as China, Russia etc they where economies that where open to competitive so over time these economies evolved into a better competitors which has given them access to global economic dominance leading to a prosperous economy over the long period

So this made me to create this thread what are your expectations this coming season that is just few day away from kickoff while others major leagues has already started the gambler is not even Left out to the gambler I think that it should be a way of restrategizing and see the area that you did not do well in your gambling last season maybe you are the one that doesn't have a gambling strategy, target or even your approach towards gambling because this season is a promising season a which offers alot of promises to both the gambler and sports fans concerning their club.
Sport fans let have a constructive conversation about your expectations this coming season.

Africa a continent full of natural and mineral resources has been known only to be exporting raw minerals resources into the rest of the world without adding value to what they produce and so they buy what they give out cheap to the rest of the world in a costly price because when it gets back to Africa what they give out unrefined without thinking about adding value to what they produce becomes ten times the amount of what they sold it
Talk of oils and gas that is abundant in West and Southern Africa which includes counties like Nigeria, chad etc which has no refineries and still depends on processed import of petroleum products like PMS, cooking gas and with rear earth minerals like lithium cobalt, copper, diamond, gold, graphite, ilmenite, iron ore, kaolin, kyanite, lignite, limestone, manganese, monazite, quartz, rutile, salt, tin, and uranium in countries like Angola, Burundi, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Sao Tomé and Principe. at much more higher price than the once that they sold it out it's a sign that developing countries needs to add value to what they produce because adding value is the Gulf that exists between developing and the developed world
Until developing countries stops exporting raw minerals and import processed products at a more costly rate which is the order of the day that most of African countries do they can't be talking about competing with the rest of the world because the world is a competitive place and until a country starts adding value to what they have such country will still be consuming and remains dependent on the rest of the world adding value in terms of production and processing of the natural and mineral resources through building of factories and industrialization which will lead to mass production and such countries becomes self sufficient developing countries will always depends on the rest of the world to survive.

@OP, what is the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction? From your post, I don't see any difference or any unique difference of things that have been discussed here before as a causes of addiction and how to prevent it. Both are too similar, if not the same.
Maybe OP is trying to modify the name, and obviously, I see no difference from what OP has called a gambling fever and gambling addiction, as all the listed factors or features are almost similar to those of an addicted gambler. Maybe OP should tell us what the new message he is trying to pass across is, because there is nothing new in what OP has mentioned here, as there have been lots of similar posts in the past with content similar to this thread. 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

Here are seven platforms that you as should not get involved in if you are not ready to lose your money. 1. Pocket Option Flagged: July 21, 2025 Promoted as an online investment adviser/fund manager, SEC noted that Pocket Option lures investors with promises of profitable investment opportunities. were demanding $200 from their subscribers with balances above $1,000, and $100 from those with less than $1000 balances before withdrawals could be processed. 2. Forsman & Bodenfors LTD (F&B) Flagged: July 14, 2025 Parading as the Nigerian arm of a Swedish advertising firm, F&B, the SEC said promoters of this fraudulent Nigerian entity go about promising Nigerians automatic employment in the company as compensation for recruiting more members who are lured to pay various sums of money for various positions in the company. The Commission, in a public notice to investors, said its preliminary investigations found that the platform was a front for a pyramid-style scam and warned the public to stay away from it entirely. The Commission hereby restate unequivocally that neither CBEX nor ST Technologies International Ltd (or Smart Treasure/Super Technology) is registered with the Commission or authorized to offer investment related services to the Nigerian public,” the SEC stated 3. Value Growth Platform Flagged: June 30, 2025 Operating under the guise of offering market analysis and trading services, Value Growth Platform attracted investors with “guaranteed returns” and monetary incentives for referrals. The SEC described its operations as exhibiting typical Ponzi scheme features and confirmed the platform is unlicensed. “Investigations have revealed that VALUE GROWTH PLATFORM’s operations exhibit typical indicators of a fraudulent Ponzi scheme, which includes promises of guaranteed returns, heavy reliance on a referral system with promises of monetary rewards for referrals, and desperate requests for subscribers to fund accounts,” SEC stated. 4. CMTrading Flagged: June 20, 2025 According to SEC, the platform claims to be licenced as GCMT SOUTH AFRICA PTY LTD by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa and as a securities dealer by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles. The platform uses cloned websites of reputable media houses such as the Punch Newspaper, Vanguard Newspaper, BBC, Channels Television and Arise Television to attract unsuspecting victims. It also posts cloned videos and pictures of prominent Nigerians on social media, promising monetary benefits to subscribers. The SEC revealed that CMTrading’s operations heavily rely on high-return promises and a referral-based payout model—key red flags of Ponzi fraud 5. Sapphire Scents Limited Flagged: June 19, 2025 The SEC stated that Sapphire Scents Limited, which holds itself out as an Investment Adviser/Fund Manager promoting an unregistered investment scheme, is not registered to operate in any capacity in the Nigerian Capital Market. “Accordingly, the public is advised to refrain from engaging with Sapphire Scents Limited or its representatives in respect of any business in the Nigerian Capital Market, as any person who does so is at his/her own risk,” it warned 6. CBEX (Crypto Bridge Exchange) / ST Technologies International Ltd Flagged: June 11, 2025 After its collapse in April, with many Nigerian investors’ funds trapped, CBEX resurfaced under the name ST Technologies or Smart Treasure. The platform reportedly demanded payment from users before processing withdrawals. According to reports, CBEX promoters were demanding $200 from their subscribers with balances above $1,000, and $100 from those with less than $1000 balances before withdrawals could be processed. “The Commission hereby restate unequivocally that neither CBEX nor ST Technologies International Ltd (or Smart Treasure/Super Technology) is registered with the Commission or authorized to offer investment related services to the Nigerian public,” the SEC stated It added that enforcement action has already been initiated against CBEX and its promoters following its previous unauthorized investment activities, and the Commission was collaborating with relevant Law Enforcement Agencies to properly investigate the company, adding that it would take appropriate actions in line with the provisions of the Investments and Securities Act 2025. 7. Punisher Coin ($PUN) Flagged: June 5, 2025 Promoted as a meme coin in unauthorized presale campaigns, SEC said Punisher Coin lacks any legitimate use case or project backing. The SEC warned that such coins are prone to “pump and dump” scams, where promoters hype a coin to inflate prices before offloading their holdings, leaving unsuspecting investors with worthless tokens. “Accordingly, the public is advised to refrain from engaging in the purported presale of PUNISHER COIN ($PUN) as any person who invests in the scheme does so at his/her own risk,” the Commission warned. In all seven cases, the SEC has reiterated that these platforms are not authorized to solicit funds or offer investment services in Nigeria. Investors engaging with them do so at their own risk. The Commission also reminded the public that the presence of a company online or on social media does not imply legitimacy https://nairametrics.com/2025/07/21/see-7-investment-platforms-flagged-as-ponzi-scheme-by-sec-so-far-in-2025/

Volatility give more opportunities to the investor of making profit because volatility actually gives opportunity for people to hold for the long term which gives people the opportunity to hold on to your Bitcoin for the long term holding on for the long term means that you allow the price of Bitcoin to appreciate more than the way that you bought it, volatility is a period for investors to create wealth by allowing you to invest at a lower price because one thing that volatility does is that it brings down price of Bitcoin allowing investors to buy at a cheaper price

Losing is part of gambling so it should not be an issue to get over it because eventually we know that as far as gambling is concerned two things are involved it's either you lose or win people should not kill themselves over losing because it all parts of game even though sometimes it's hard for you to get over it when it's close to you winning the ticket

The current situation of Real Madrid is very bad. After a trophyless season, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction among the team's players. There is a lot of discussion among them about the issue of releasing one of the team's forward players. But Vinicius has a contract with Real Madrid until 2027. But when the new contract between Vinicius and Real Madrid came up, Vinicius demanded double the current amount. At that moment, Saudi Arabia made the offer. But Vinicius did not agree to the offer now. He wants to play for Real Madrid.
If we look at Real Madrid, they are very worried about themselves. Without Vinicius, the team will be weak, but Real believes more in reality. Under the new coach, it may be possible to bring in someone new without spending so much money. Since the coach is new, I think everything will be done anew. Real Madrid is going to make an incredible bet on the new coach. As a result, we may not see Vinicius in the team.
If Vinicius is the one asking for a sizable salary increase, even double. Maybe he himself is planning to leave Madrid. He should be more reasonable for a contract extension with an offer of an increase that should be more reasonable to keep playing in Madrid. If the situation is true, won't it get negative comments from fans? Offers from Saudi clubs must make every club tempted, but losing Vinicius is definitely a loss for Madrid. Although they do not lack talented players, Vinicius is still an important figure for Madrid. But with a new coach, yes, maybe the team's situation is now different. No one can deny Vinicius's great performance, but now if Real Madrid somehow lets Vinicius go, it will bring about an even more negative situation for Real Madrid. Now if he himself indicates to leave the club, then naturally there will be a negative reaction from a section of the fans, but Madrid should make every effort to keep him. Look, not every player's performance is always the same, Vinicius' performance may not have been very good now, but losing a player like Vinicius means losing something valuable, so along with the player, the club should also manage this situation by balancing reality, emotions and the future, because this wrong decision could affect Madrid even more negatively than it right now. Vinicius is one player that madrid can't afford to lose because for the past two seasons Vinicius has been the best player in this madrid setup if madrid is eventually going to let one of their forwards to go it should not be Vinicius because that is going to hurt them and it will not be easy getting a replacement for Vinicius currently in the market

 Trading psychology in forex trading refers to the mental and emotional aspects that influence a trader’s decision-making process it encompasses the mindset, behaviors, and emotional discipline required to execute trades successfully and consistently even with solid technical and fundamental analysis, poor trading psychology can lead to mistakes and losses. trading psychology is as important as market analysis mastering your mindset can be the difference between long-term success and consistent losses. What most traders are more concerned is how they can make instant money while trading but one thing that I have seen and noted from most traders is that they don't have the right trading psychology to handle a trade and make profit because the psychology of the trader is the underlying difference between success and loss the mental state of the trader plays a role in trade because most people see trading as a ponzi schemes where they will put money and double it while others seeing it as a get rich quick thing. Key Elements of Trading Psychology Discipline The ability to stick to a trading plan and follow predefined rules regardless of emotions or market excitement for anyone to be successful in trading then discipline is one thing that should be followed sticking to a trading o Plan and strategy is very crucial here. Patience Waiting for the right trading opportunities instead of forcing trades out of boredom or fear of missing out should be avoided you should enter the market when after your analysis everything is indicating that the market is going to go your way that is when you should enter the market and not because you wants to make People or you just wants to trade Emotional Control Handling emotions like fear, greed, anger, or overconfidence is very important because these emotions can cause irrational decisions like exiting trades too early due to fear ,Overtrading due to greed or Revenge trading after losses Confidence vs. Overconfidence Confidence is necessary to trust your strategy but overconfidence however can lead to ignoring risk management or deviating from your trading plan which can lead to lose at the end of the day Risk Tolerance and Management Understanding and accepting that losses are part of trading is important as it will help guide the trader proper risk management prevents one loss from wiping out your account. Focus and Mental Clarity Distractions and stress can lead to impulsive decisions so a clear and focused mind is crucial for evaluating trades objectively if one is to make gain. How to Improve Trading Psychology Stick to a written trading plan Keep a trading journal to review emotional decisions Use demo accounts to build confidence Set realistic goals Take regular breaks and avoid overtrading Practice mindfulness or stress-reduction techniques

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT This is a new initiative by Bitcoin developers that is aimed at safeguarding the block chain against potential threats from quantum computers because Quantum computers still in their early stages of development pose a future risk to Bitcoin because they could theoretically break the cryptographic algorithms protecting user funds specifically those exposed in certain address types.When you send Bitcoin your public key becomes visible on the block chain a quantum computer could use Shor’s Algorithm to compute your private key from your public key allowing theft of your funds. QUANTUM VULNERABLE ADDRESSES Some older Bitcoin addresses particularly those that have already revealed their public key by spending coins are considered quantum-vulnerable they include P2PK ,P2PKH once spent, the public key is exposed Quantum computers could in theory, derive the private key from the public key, allowing them to steal funds from those addresses This proposal is forward-looking because it's a defensive mechanism or step against a potentially massive cryptographic shift. It’s still in early discussion stages and would require broad consensus to implement via a soft fork. What is your view on this development on the Bitcoin block chain by developers, you can read more about this on the link below https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/07/16/bitcoin-devs-float-proposal-to-freeze-quantum-vulnerable-addresses-even-satoshi-nakamoto-s

Opportunity Cost
Tying up your money in Bitcoin during a prolonged dip can mean missing out on other investments that perform better during the time of the dip because one can use the capital used in buying in the dip to invest in other areas such as stocks, real estate etc so buying in the dip can make one to miss other investment prospects when the price is not up early
Are you for real buddy, there is hardly a better investment setting currently better than getting some good amount of Bitcoin if you're lucky to find a good dip? Investing into Bitcoin during the dip isn't tying up your money since Bitcoin is designated for long term investment, on the contrary finding a good dip and lump summing on it is a blessing. For the record, stocks and real estate investments aren't for short term benefits either. Your investments into it still takes time to appreciate. Catching a Falling Knife Dips can turn into deeper declines not all dips recover on the short term there are some dips that falls dip before recovering so buying in the dip is like catching a falling knife which could be dangerous trying to time the bottom can lead to multiple mistimed entries and larger losses without a solid strategy you could buy too early and suffer bigger setbacks
Now this is your main problem and you literally don't understand Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin investment is slated for long term to get good profits, the price history validates it. Those that are really very profitable today are the long-term holders. If you want a short term activity, then you can fit in as a trader Dips May Not Always Recover
Bitcoin price can remain low for as much time as possible or even experience a longer time period It's important to be aware that not all dips are followed by a recovery and that there is no guarantee of future performance examples was when the price of Bitcoin fell from $20,000 in 2017 to $3,000 in 2018 a dip that lasted over a year which affected alot of investors which where only concerned about catching in on the short price fall to make some gain if you buy the dip too early you might be stuck for a months or even a years as the case may be depending on how long the dip may last.
At least in the past 15 years, Bitcoin has proven that dips always recover and the price goes soaring again and even attains ATHs during bull run, an obvious example is this period when Bitcoin had hit $119k+ ATH after having several dips before now. See this chart below as a proof that dips have been recovering  Don't get me wrong I was only trying to drive a point that is that to there is no better time that is good enough as far as Bitcoin investment is concerned one can invest at anytime you don't necessarily need to wait until it's a dip before investing. Of off course Bitcoin has always bounced back stronger after each dip period

When it comes to Bitcoin investment it's common knowledge and believe that one has to wait till there is a dip so that one can actually buy as much Bitcoin as possible and wait till the bull run start and sell when the price has appreciated. I can be corrected if am wrong but one thing that I have come to realize is that one doesn't necessarily has to wait till the dip to buy it's not always advisable to do so because not all dip are actually for price correction and there's no particular time that is best when it comes to Bitcoin investment. Here are some facts you need to know about investment in the dip
Opportunity Cost
Tying up your money in Bitcoin during a prolonged dip can mean missing out on other investments that perform better during the time of the dip because one can use the capital used in buying in the dip to invest in other areas such as stocks, real estate etc so buying in the dip can make one to miss other investment prospects when the price is not up early
Catching a Falling Knife Dips can turn into deeper declines not all dips recover on the short term there are some dips that falls dip before recovering so buying in the dip is like catching a falling knife which could be dangerous trying to time the bottom can lead to multiple mistimed entries and larger losses without a solid strategy you could buy too early and suffer bigger setbacks
Dips May Not Always Recover
Bitcoin price can remain low for as much time as possible or even experience a longer time period It's important to be aware that not all dips are followed by a recovery and that there is no guarantee of future performance examples was when the price of Bitcoin fell from $20,000 in 2017 to $3,000 in 2018 a dip that lasted over a year which affected alot of investors which where only concerned about catching in on the short price fall to make some gain if you buy the dip too early you might be stuck for a months or even a years as the case may be depending on how long the dip may last.
Emotional Investing
Dips often trigger fear in the market making investors to act emotional which will make investors to take irrational decision which may be quick in nature due to the fact that investors wants to catch in on the fall in price poor judgment decision making investments is one thing that is associated with wanting to buy in the dip because there are people who might panic and sell after buying the dip if the price continues to drop.
Market Sentiment and External Factors
Bitcoin's price can be influenced by other external factors such as economic factors, regulations, market sentiment and even major world political affairs Such as the just concluded united states of America election that affected the price of Bitcoin external events can keep the price down longer than expected, and investing during a dip may require a strong belief in Bitcoin's future prospects.

Chelsea beating PSG is a serious upset and I actually did not expect this from them but beating PSG by 3:0 is something out of this world. Football is crazy, who would have thought that a team that beat real Madrid and atletico Madrid heavily is going down 3 goals to nil against Chelsea. As a neutral I am actually happy, it is a sense of joy to see PSG take what they usually give to other teams.
Chelsea was determined and there's nothing that the power of determination can't do this is a spirited performance from Chelsea from the blow of the first whistle till the end Chelsea was energetic and running this is to show that they where well prepared coming into this game this is indeed a great upset what exactly went wrong with this PSG team that they could not even score a single goal

This is a welcome development because this move has been over due in the country crypto currency has been one thing that Nigerians has been interesting since but due to the fact that there was no legal backing there has been some set backs as the crypto community has not been given the freedom to operate even though people where into crypto currency so this move is a welcome development as in the Nigerian crypto community
