It feels good to be back after so many life draining hardship of life, I have been battling some life difficulty, my mother sicked for a whole year and as the first born of my family I have to take care of my siblings too, it was too much for me, the little BTC I managed to safe in 2022 have all been used to settle bills and buy drugs for my mom.
If you are from Africa and you happen to be first born of a family where there is nothing like richy rich there is a problem, I thought I could escape this mess by starting to invest but I lost everything to responsibilities.
What have I missed? Where should I start from now? Are you the first born of your family? How is the economy treating you and your family?
Yes, being a first born will come with it's own responsibilities but also opportunities to really do something good and change your family's financial condition. You will be the one responsible to support your family financially after your father and with the medical bills, you really have to be quite dedicated to change everything that's happening in your life right now. I really adore your patience and the ability to stand firm but you should really take as much efforts as possible because somehow, it is your responsibility. Try finding various jobs where you can spend a couple of hours daily and still manage to get a decent pay. I won't suggest you to go for investments again because no matter how much you invest, you'll end up withdrawing those investments for urgent needs. Try to get as many jobs as possible because the more you earn, the more stable you and your family's life will be. |

this is sort of like their 'endgame'  keep it running,, keep collecting crypto,, because there is no tax on holding bitcoin/crypto and when the time comes yell!! --hacked-- n safely transfer ur holdings to new address/s,, move out of the country or don't,, & u don't have to pay anything because u were a victim of an online theft/hack  tell me this isn't possible?  Surely this can be possible but this would also ruin the exchange's reputation, right? This will be a one time scam where they can simply exit the markets and run away with all the money claiming it was hacked. While reading your post, I started thinking about Wazirx. Really believe this is not the case with them as I really loved that exchange. That was the first exchange where I started using P2P and it was really helpful for me as I used to make some sidemoney daily buy buying and selling USDT. I might still have some funds on WazirX but I left thinking those when they got hacked. Now I just try to go through the emails they send about updates on the lawsuit. |

Salary and profit are the great factor responsible for financial stability because both works as one but in different field, Interchanging both is a mistake to avoid when it comes to finance related issues. Salary is known as the mother of profit when properly invested, controlled and properly managed in businesses but may not yield that primary aim if not invested well. One may become a salary earner for a long time without getting profit from it because it was not used in business but for another important reason, so in other to generate profit from salary it must be invested wisely.
Yes, but there's a slight paradox between the employee's efforts and their time. The thing is, if someone receives a salary, they're confident about the future, but the bad news is that after work, they don't have the energy or time to find ways to escape it. And salaries are low these days, making it very difficult to find extra money for investing. Everything has to go towards food and bills. If someone has the courage to break this vicious cycle, they can become a good investor or trader. But they need to be free of obligations like family or children. I won't say salaries are less these days. If you can find the right job than salaries can fulfill your necessities and can also help you save something for the future. You should have the right skillset to get a decent paying job. Yes, there are a lot of companies which are underpaying their employees but these companies usually end up hiring freshers or people with no actual skill. Majority of people who really are qualified end up getting a nice paying job where they get stuck for a major portion of their life. Salary makes us dependent and we kind of forget what it would be to survive without the basic salary. Coming home from work, we would be completely exhausted just thinking about the next day and would hardly have any time to spare on thinking about any other money making opportunities. |

I don't think the thing they did to Raphinha is fair. He had a wonderful season with a huge score contribution. His team reached the semi finals in the Champions League as well. But he got only 620 points in the end.  Yamal really has a big support by the media. I don't say he was bad of course. But Raphinha should have been much closer to him than this at least. I don't think the voting is completely fair as a result. Honestly, the Ballon D'or voting seemed unfair. I think it prioritizes name value over actual performance. It's disappointing to see Pedri ranked 11th and Cole Palmer 8th. To be honest, the results weren't fair. Pedri deserves better than Cole Palmer, given their performance ratings. Cole Palmer's performance was well recognized in the Club World Cup, but Pedri's achievements warrant a higher ranking, he should be ranked alongside Vitinah. I was shocked to see Vitinah. ranked above Raphinha that was disappointing also, I knew they both contributed greatly to their clubs success. Raphinha was the better contender, not Yamal, As a Barca fan, I admit Yamal is a media favorite, but Raphinha was denied a top-two spot unfairly. Despite that, I think he deserved better than being ranked below Vitinah. and Salah. It has been fairly like that for a long time. When a player is the best player in a team that won something, that player gets a huge advantage. But when we look at it, the fact that both Yamal and Raphinha are from Barcelona, so "team success" isn't a thing for comparing them, they are on the same team, and Raphinha did a lot more on stats than Yamal as well, and yet he is somehow not as highly ranked as Yamal, makes no sense. So in many cases, Ballon D'or is not the reward for the best player of the year, sometimes it does feel that way because it does go to best one, but sometimes it is the player with the best PR team as well. This is why it's not always that easy to accept the winners, because sometimes it's really silly. |

I don't think altcoins are decentralized. They label them decentralized, but that's impossible. Altcoin investments, even those we call major altcoins, are extremely risky. They all use similar technologies, the only difference, in my opinion, being their communities. Many lack practical application in daily life, and that might change in the future, I'm not sure. There will inevitably be projects that will create significant changes, but they will still be centralized systems.
If there's a team backing that specific altcoin than yes, they are centralized somehow. Decentralized would mean complete anonymity which these altcoins hardly have. They are backed by a team and also have a governance wallet. Not all of these alts will say they are decentralized as some already are labelled as being centralized. There is nothing wrong in altcoins being centralized. We already have a decentralized bitcoin blockchain which fulfils most of our needs so now looking forward towards centralized innovation might not be bad. The ones lacking practical applications will already be seen as some kind of a ponzi scheme and people will hardly trust those kind of projects. We can't deny the fact that we have seen some really wonderful altcoins bring innovations and having real life use cases. |

We might still remember Ten Hag previous journey, when many people were speculating about his dismissal, yet the Manchester United management and board surprisingly gave him a new contract. However, not long after, Ten Hag was sacked anyway. I think the same thing could happen with Ruben Amorim. Sir Jim Ratcliffe may say he will try to keep Ruben Amorim, but if Manchester United performance shows no improvement, I’m sure Ruben Amorim will eventually be dismissed as well.
Yeah, it is very obvious for Kane that he should stay at Bayern Munich when he is winning everything and getting great results, there is no reason for him to leave and play in a worse team. However, we are seeing them not have that kind of return that easily, because Kane is getting older now and if they can get 50 million or more for him, it might feel a better option than nothing as well. Sure they want him now, but how long will they want him? Few more seasons with him and he will worth nothing and will leave old when his contract is over. But if they can sell him, even for a half decent price, then they could use that and some more of their funds and get someone better. So, it is not just Kane's decision neither. |

Milan have beaten Napoli.
Allegri was not so bad after all yeah?
Milan Napoli and Roma are now leading the serie A, Juventus is behind but it is the only team who has not lost a single game.
It means nothing ofcourse, since it is better losing 1 game over doing 2 draws.
So far ir is an balanced league, we will see in 1 month.
Just one game can't decide on that and we can't just say that he is a good manager based on a single game, considering how they haven't done that great so far. We should realize that Allegri has taken over recently, just this summer, so he will take some time to get better, but at the end of the day it's still a risk and we shouldn't really consider this as something that will take that much time. For whatever it's worth, I am guessing that we are going to end up with a result that is one way or another a bad deal for him. Obviously things will take some time to coooldown and get better, but that doesn't mean we are going to see things change that clearly. Napoli is still a better team than Milan, it was just one bad game. |

Imagine this, a casino glitch adds funds to your balance, you play, withdraw, and the money lands in your account. Later, the casino says it was a bug and demands you return it.
Legally, would you actually be liable if you don’t return it? Or is it fair to say you acted in good faith since you didn’t know?
And what if casinos can just claim “glitch” anytime they don’t want to pay?
Even though one shouldn't be legally liable if they don't return it because it was their mistake and not your responsibility, and you didn't steal it or misuse a bug or something to get that amount, but you got it because of a glitch on their end. That being said, I do agree with people saying that when you get an amount that is pretty high in your account out of nowhere, when you know that you didn't deposit that money, then you should definitely look for the source and find out where it came from, because who knows? You might also get in trouble if the money came from an illegal source, etc. Another thing that comes in mind when we talk about this is a bug bounty, that most casinos and platforms have, where they give you a reward if you let them know about a bug or a glitch in their system. So maybe, if you tell the support after you receive that amount in your balance, you might get rewarded, and who knows? The reward might be bigger than the amount itself. |

Now holding 639,835 BTC acquired for about $47.33B. Meanwhile, small investors panic sell at a loss. Only for the whales to scoop up cheaper Bitcoin. The game is simple: weak hands sell, strong hands buy. Are you still holding up your position tight?
That's great news for the Bitcoin community, and also for Micro-Strategy for remaining the lead company when it when to the acquisition of Bitcoin as a digital asset for the future. Because with regards to the current price of Bitcoin been valued at $113,000 per BTC, buying over 850 more Bitcoin should be worth approximately over $96,102,071, in words "Ninety Six Million, One hundred and two thousand and seventy one". However, I'm looking forward the seeing Strategy acquire more as we approaches the bear market soon. They definitely won't have acquired these 850 bitcoins if they thought we are entering the bear markets. This was a move to show they still trust the markets even after a slight plunge. Micro strategy has always been quite bullish over bitcoins for a longer term. They believe in the mission and don't just buy bitcoins to show they have a diversified portfolio. Yes, they will surely buy some more bitcoins at various dips. Pouring over $96M at this dip shows bitcoins are ready to bounce back and cross $120k this time. These kind of institutional interest had made bitcoins less volatile and are showing promising returns gradually. The risks are reducing as sudden crashes are almost eliminated which also makes our investments a bit secure when it comes to bitcoins. |

if someone is earning unstable but high earnings and also spending it like he is going to earn this forever, and no savings and investment made, this way that person is taking higher risk and if he is a breadwinner he should never do this, anyway if a person by nature is the one who don't give it a much thoughts and always spend like it is forever he will never stick with a stable earning, he will always chose a unstable one that can end at anytime.
Yep the real key is the skill, if we have any skill that we can sell either online or offline, we must sell it besides our main job, the inflation is already very high that a man can't really live with one job especially if he had chosen a stable income, they always doing more than one jobs.
But to do more than a job, it is not really required to quit our current job. Current job will provide stability. Another add on will just boost our financial strength and maybe we can fulfill our dreams much quicker. I would not just say that unstable job with higher earning potential is important but along with that we should also have a stable job even if the earnings are not upto mark. These stable jobs at least will assure that we will get a fixed sum at the end of every month. Going for stable and unstable job at the same time will be my choice of action. Unstable job is going to make me earn more than the stable one for sure so my primary focus will be on it but I will also not neglect my stable job which has been providing me since years. |

There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?
Maybe those people are only weak and they prove it already on some other things. For those who are strong, they think they are in control of the situation, so they will always try things. Addiction in gambling doesn't only start by chasing a loss but we can also get addicted by it by simply enjoying the game. The phrase prevention is better than cure do also have its perfect place, like for example on a very dangerous situation, it is always better to not act strong or cocky because this is usually the cause of them having problems. The crazy part is they can also regret what had happened but it is too late already for them. Too bad  . |

We will understand how strong the Real Madrid team is in this match. Atletico Madrid is not weak but their performance is erratic. Also, considering the statistics , Real madrid is the favorite. But this match is again Atletico Madrid's home match. In the last home match against Real Madrid, we saw Atletico Madrid win. So it is difficult to decide on a bet in this match. The match is more likely to be a draw. Again, considering the home match, Atletico Madrid also has a chance of winning. At the same time , Real Madrid is in their best form now. They have won every match in La liga. So I would probably avoid betting on this match. Which team would you like to bet on ?
To be fair there is nothing Real Madrid could gain from this game. If they do win, that is what is expected of them after ATM ended up having a bad season. But at the same time if they end up with a draw or a loss, that is a bad result for Real Madrid. So they do need to win, and they should win, but that is not going to make anyone think that Real Madrid achieved anything, it's normal and not going to matter too much at the moment, that is going to be just a boring situation that doesn't change anything. We are going to benefit from this with time, and not going to have to bet on Real Madrid eventually they will lose a game and when that happens whoever bets on the other team will have a lot of money in return. |

Nice to see oshimen back to the win after he picked up that injury on international duty for Nigeria. I just pray that he is truly back to form because I feel that, Galatasaray is rushing oshimen which to me is not good not just for the player but also for the club. Because if oshimen is not yet fit before coming back to the field this can make him to get another injury and this time he can be out for a long time which will affect the whole team performance.
With or without oshimen Liverpool is going to win this game because, Galatasary performance in the champions League has been terrible with the way that Galatasary was humiliated in the opening game of the champions League against a less fancied side . They don't stand a chance against Liverpool whether oshimen is there or not.
Obviously he is going to play in the Liverpool game, there is a big chance that we are going to see Osimhen start the game and Icardi will be benched for now, and then they will swap later in the game depending on the score. They are both great and that is the problem Galatasaray has right now, because they are seeing two amazing strikers. Osimhen is the guy they paid 75 million for, and Icardi is the top goalscorer of the league right now (and was the winner of it before last year when Osimhen took it). When you have last 2years top goalscorers of the league on your squad at the same time, building a team around those two is not an easy task. They can try, but they will probably fail to keep both of them at fair minutes. |

always start small, even a demo account with zero real money is acceptable, before you learn the ropes, then you can start with small amounts and then you can grow. This way, you are not trading with a lot of money and if you lose then consider it a learning expense.
The more you trade with that small amount the more you are going to learn and eventually you will start to make a lot more money and when your returns become better consistently, you can start to put more money in and can get better results as well, should be fine.
That seems too easy to read but is actually very difficult to follow. Newbies will be looking towards trading as a money making opportunity they don't want to miss. They will make their basic calculations about profits and will start thinking about the luxuries for which they will take few harsh steps towards trading. With this mindset, they can never start small. Their first step towards trading will be maybe with half of their savings expecting huge profits. At the end, they will end up losing everything. Trading is a skill and not everyone is perfect. Good research and experience is required before anyone can actually start earn a passive stream. Time well spent in trading will give us that experience and we will know when and how exactly to enter the trades. |

When something is offered for free then we are the price here
But, what about if the thing is not free? Some are still able to afford it because they want it and problems occur with this too. Not all free has a higher risk but it only depends on the condition. because if they can't even afford the data which is pretty cheap then how can we expect them to be a responsible gambler like only bet what they can afford to lose.
Not all has the same financial status. We think some thing is only cheap but that is because we can afford it but others simply can't. But being poor can in fact make one responsible. For example me. I am only a poor boy and mainly relying on a casino bonus to play gambling. I don't get greedy but just withdraw once the money reach the minimum withdrawal because I can buy good things already with that money. One of it is internet promo, so I like their idea there. I'd be happy if the same thing exist in ours as well. |

Regulation can both help & hinder crypto. On one hand clear rules build trust, attract investors & reduce scams. On the other too much regulation can slow innovation & push projects to less strict regions. The key is balance enough oversight to protect people but not so much that it kills creativity & growth.
I don't think regulations can kill creativity or innovation but in fact can boost innovation under government's supervision. We have seen some really great innovations come out of cryptos and even the governments are aware about it. So if they impose regulations, they might indeed also start creativity or innovative campaigns which can promote local innovations. Regulations will solve a lot of problems with cryptos like scams and frauds. That is really important as people have lost and are losing tons of money due to these scams. My only reason behind supporting regulations will be to see cryptos more secure and trustworthy than they are right now. Regulations will bring some strict rules which might be difficult to adapt at first but will provide an extra layer of security. |

Even though Jose Mourinho has good experience in the Champions League but if he is not supported by players who have above average abilities then the results will not be as expected because to be able to beat Chelsea at least Benfica has players of the same quality as Chelsea, but yes I also can not underestimate Benfica because a club like this can sometimes give a surprise when they are underestimated but I am sure Chelsea will play seriously in this match because they just lost their valuable points before so this time they do not want to lose again.
When you do not do better than expected with the players you are given, then you are not given better players. If you are given Benfica, and the expectation is not winning the league, then you have to win the league to make it look better. When he won the UCL with Porto, you think that was in anyone's mind? Of course not, they were not seen as a team who could win it at all, in fact they looked like they would never win it, ever. He did make them win it and that's how he went further, Chelsea, Real Madrid and so forth. Now, when he is given a team that can do X, his teams does X, not X+1, not a single dime more. Which is why he is not seen as good anymore, and which is why defending him with "but the team is this good", because he needs to make them better. |

Manchester City may be strong. But compared to Arsenal or Liverpool, Manchester city will be a bit behind. I do not consider Manchester City as the favorite to win the Premier league title. Liverpool is considered the most favorite. And then Chelsea and Arsenal. Manchester City is now in ninth place in the table after winning only 2 matches out of 5 matches. Manchester City is 8 points behind Liverpool.
That is what happened last season as well. Liverpool and Arsenal was better and City ended up behind them, I am expecting the same thing this season as well. But that is okay, because they are making so many moves and building a new team around the old system and it takes time for players to get used to it. So when they do, they are going to be better and will not have these type of results, they should be considering a few years as expense and not win and then they are going to be better. I would say they are going to be better this season than last season, and next season will be better than this season. When you are improving like that, becoming the champions again isn't off the table and could happen as soon as next season. |

Bitcoin’s peak price was $124,000. If Bitcoin had gained just another $26,000, we might have seen it rise to $150,000. However, since it’s late September and October ahead, and there are still more than three months left until the end of the year, it’s definitely expected that Bitcoin will reach $150,000. Also, when Bitcoin dropped from $124,000, we saw dumping to $107,000 and pumping from $107,000 to $118,000, so it makes sense that the market might not dump anymore and will rally, so I strongly believe that Bitcoin will surpass $150,000 by 2025.
Now bitcoins are hindering around $112k which is not bad as they have stopped dropping and we can soon see markets recovering soon but this also does not mean that we can see a huge pump reaching $150k. Bitcoins are moving slowly this year and we might have lost volatility. If it remains the same than we can expcet bitcoins somewhere around ATH of $124k by the end of this year. Next year, we can see some pump in Q1 at least according to the technicals. Fundamentals as well are playing an important role so any bullish news can trigger bitcoins to touch $150k by the end of this year. We did see rate cuts by the feds which somehow was a bullish event for bitcoins. The effects will come into picture after a couple of months so expecting November or December to show some promising growth. |

CONFIRMED: Man Utd make wonderkid signing as first deal for 2026 announced
Manchester United have already completed their first signing for the summer 2026 transfer window, with a talented wonderkid on his way to Old Trafford.
Colombia U17 defensive midfielder Cristian Orozco has agreed to sign for the Red Devils from Fortaleza CEIF in a deal that mirrors that move that saw Diego Leon snapped up this summer.
Transfer insider Ben Jacobs says that Man Utd have a preliminary agreement in place to complete a deal, but Orozco cannot join the Premier League giants until he has turned 18. He will hit this milestone on 13 July, 2026.
Jacobs reports on X: “Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Colombia Under-17 international Cristian Orozco when he turns 18. The defensive midfielder captained Colombia as they reached the final of the Under-17 South American Championships last spring.”
Orozco a symbol of Man Utd’s new project
Man Utd’s move to sign Orozco showcases the efforts of the Old Trafford side to sign the best young talents from across the globe.
Orozco, who only joined Fortaleza in July from Rojo FC, has yet to make a senior appearance, which highlights how deep the Red Devils have had to dive to identify him as a transfer target and the lengths the club is going to in order to identify untapped talent.
Good idea, surely they need to get the team better by improving the young quality, this will not help them at the moment but they will benefit from this on the long run. However, no player gotten better by playing at United, so they need to fix that issue, because with what they have, they are not looking that great. So far the quality of their transfers are still lacking, and quantity is non-existent, so getting young players and getting many of them would at least give them hope for the future. Not sure if this kid is who they believe he can be, but the idea of getting someone so young is good, even if this one doesn't work out, next one could, so they need to keep going this way and not make mistakes on their transfers, I hope they do 3-4 more transfers like this. |
