Or if Senegal had their finest player on the field then things would had been different. I must say, it was quite frustrating watching Senegal lose at the last moments of the game. I thought this would end in a draw as it seems nobody was able to penetrate the opponents goal. Senegal has proven themselves today but just lost focus at the later moment of the game but still that shouldn't take the moment from Netherlands as they did pushed on until they got their goal at the 84th minutes which gave them an advantage as Senegal started chasing the game.

Senegal has two more games to play and they'll all quite winnable, they just have to go back to the drawing table and strategize better to win those games convincingly. They shouldn't let the absence of Sadio Mane disorganized them and atleast play the remaining games to make him proud. The game against Qatar on firday shoudn't be joked with as Qatar also wants to make a statement with that match as it'll be very disappointing to see the host nation lose both games.

Nope it isn't a creation of Binance entirely, it was acquired in 2018 by Binance attempt to buy everything in the industry. They bought Coinmarketcap and are still actively buying the whole industry and who knows if they're been funded by the Chinese government in order to take over the cryptocurency space. Centralization had never been good for the industry, instead it's holding it backwards. We would had been 10 times better off if the industry wasn't as centralized as it's currently. Looking at the way things are going, you'll realized slowing that we're losing the true essence of the creation of Bitcoin. Slowing we're losing the decentralization of the industry, things people think are decentralized aren't even decentralized.

For example, the popular decentralized exchanges we have today been used by the majority aren't truely decentralized while the supposedly P2P platforms aren't truely P2P as well so tell me how the industry is achieving it goals of enabling a decentralized transaction. Wasn't there news of the former CEO of the second largest exchange that just collapse (FTX) was lobbying for decentralized finance (DeFi) to be regulated in the US. Centralized platforms are misinforming new users and before they realize it, it's already late. Centralization has never been a goodnews and they're definitely not one to the cryptocurrency industry.

I think we have to count them out because without Sadio Mane there's no Senegalese team. Just as we saw with Liverpool this season, the moment Sadio Mane left the club, we could see the weakness in the team get exposed and other teams are punishing them. Sadio Mane don't just have an impact in the attacking force of any team he plays in but also coordinate the defense starting from the front line and that's something the Senegal side will miss. But I just hope that won't be the case with Senegal and the Senegalese squad can find a way to surprise us this tournament. They're our best hope and without Sadio Mane playing the tournament it seems like that hope has been shattered.

Sadio Mane is the best player in Africa and second best player in the world currently just behind Benzema and both players are a doubt at the world cup, we haven't even reach anywhere and this is looking like my worst world cup already. Our best player in the continent won't be representing us and that's just sad which gets me wondering why clubs overplay important player's when we have tournament likes this coming up in just few days time.

Chelsea problem isn't defense instead it's the midfield and wingbacks, any team that dominate those positions easily score us lots of goals. We have great defenders but when you put defenders under too much pressure than they can absorbed then they'll break and the keeper will be left exposed. We should be more focused on signing quality defensive and creative midfielders. The current ones are very average. Players like jorginho can't be relyed on as he's very poor defensively and players like Kovačić isn't that creative and neither is any of the midfielder we currently have excluding mason mount.

The right wingback which is the position of Reece James is lacking a like to like replacement incase Reece James is injured . Positions as this are what the club should be focus on and not signing players we have in good quality. Mendy and Kepa are good goal keepers and don't forget we also signed another goalie in last summer window so why do we need another goalie when we have three quality ones already.

Why should that surprise you, are you forgetting that Chelsea was the last two seasons tournament winners that surprised the whole world when they fought their way through to the finals and defeated an informed Manchester city side to lift the trophy. Chelsea has excellent players but just lack a manager to motivate them correctly. We could all see how good the side is when the players gets the right motivation from the manager (Thomas Tuchel using this underrated squad to lift the trophy and Potter going from last in the group to winning the group).

Last two seasons, we weren't favorite as well but yet we lifted the trophy while defeating all the so called favorites. This season I'm not over expecting much from the players since we're yet to have a full squad, the like of Kante and Reece James are injured and that's giving some unbalanced to the team. When we do get our full squad back, I can bodly say we'll defeat any team that dares to stand in our way of lifting the trophy. Potter is an excellent manager, this is just a phase that'll pass and I'm expecting that after the world cup break, Chelsea should easily return to their previous form of winning games convincingly.

That wasn't the reason why Thomas Tuchel was sacked, Chelsea has barely played a high number of games to determine the sack of Thomas Tuchel. Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel because he was the last piece of the Roman Abramovich era left at the club. If you noticed, every other top executive has been fired or they resign volunteering as the new owners wanted to build their structure from the scratch and also there has been rumors of both parties (Boehly and Tuchel) having misunderstanding in what's needed for the club.

For example, Boehly needed a star figure at the club which lead to the club wanting to bring in Ronaldo in the summer but Thomas Tuchel didn't buy into that ideas and that's when their misunderstanding started. When Thomas Tuchel was sacked there were news from trusted sources that the sack had nothing to do with the form that Chelsea has been on but because of differences of what's best for the club from both parties and the this tension between the manager and owner has been ongoing for sometime.

NEW TOPIC: History as Buhari Supervises Crude Oil Drilling in the North

I dey happy as dey dun find oil for the north and maybe now our northerner leader go fit agreed to the terms of giving every state their independence. I seriously they wish this discover to dey successful so the North for face their own national resources and commot eye for the south own. I believe say this new development go strength the country economy and fit reduced the fuel spike in price and scarcity wey we dey get. You no say the north get well industrial men wey go run better refinery for them and e go dey successful unlike wetin we dey experience for the south.

Sha wetin you dey think of this new discovery and how e go affect the counter both positively and negatively?.

That thread no dey in anyway associated with FIFA so FIFA never adopt Bitcoin if not e for dey all over the news. That thread na just sponsored prediction thread wey dat casino dey organize for the world cup and dem dey steadily run am for any tournament wey show up. I think the only thing FIFA been do wey concerned cryptocurrency na when dey partner with Algorand for their NFT collection.

BTC go definitely go up, like dat one na one sure thing wey dey this world wey we dey so. The way Bitcoin was built, if demand for am continue dey increase soon we no go fit afford one Bitcoin again and already self that one na strong problem for many of us as e dun dey even too cost to afford at the moment. Ehhh ehh as this world cup dey start so, which country you dey support as our own country no dey play the tournament?.

The minute you don't have full control over your funds, it basically means that coin isn't yours. P2P is meant to be a transaction between one individual to another, provided you have to trust some centralized platform to store your coin for you while you search for a buyer than you aren't actually trading P2P. It quite unfortunate that the centralized exchange has made it seem like trading with them through their so called P2P service is actually the right way to trade P2P. Many newbies coming into the industry has been misinform by this but thankfully we still have a forum like this that'll correct those wrong information.

Here are some simple things to note yourself; the moment a platform required you to deposit on their exchange then you aren't actually trading P2P, usually this platforms will require you to complete some verification process which includes giving them some private information through KYC procedures which contradict the whole point of trading decentralized. You see platforms like Binance, Okex, Kucoin etc they aren't ideal platform for carrying out P2P transaction, use the platforms suggested by the user @o_e_l_e_o.

Just to point the obvious out, FTX collapses wasn't caused by the hack that later happened to the exchange and I won't be surprised if that hack was organized to hide the true scam that Sam Bankman-Fried was into which was making used of customers funds for personal gains. I see news media blaming the collapse on the hack but that's not true and the community shoudn't be misinformed. With or without the hack, FTX would had still gone down because their unethical practice was exposed and trust was been lost by their customers which triggered the massive withdrawal of funds from the exchange.

That been said, as a newbie, the best decision you can make for yourself is investing in Bitcoin and hoarding enough before the price get out of reach of affording a whole Bitcoin. Altcoins are never the best way to get introduced into the market. When you have the right information and experience then you can play with that side of the market but your main focus should always be accumulating as much Bitcoin as possible and you'll be safe.

Just as others have commented, no it isn't over for the cryptocurency industry if those scenario you mentioned above does occur instead it'll push for more decentralization of the industry and increase awareness for the use of more of dApp instead of centralized ones. Just to take you back memory lane, back when Mt. Gox exchange was still in function and arguably more powerful than Binance, it got hacked and that didn't end the cryptocurrency movement. For more clarity read;.
As you can read, back then Mt. Gox was incharge of 70% of all Bitcoin transaction yet that hack didn't end the Bitcoin movement. Today although binance is the most dominant exchange but we have other options out there that even as dominate as Binance is, institutional investors still has other exchange they used for their purchases.

Actually the rich and elite of the society made it so difficult for the poor masses to get their hands on opportunities that could changed their financial story through investment and that's why majority of them are against cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) as it presented a way out for the poor masses. Even today we can see the elites (which we call the whales) still having a major say in the ways the market move but what makes cryptocurency different from other investment vehicle is that the opportunity is on equilibrium for all parties.

For example, the average users can't get into early opportunity in Real estate or stock market investment like they can do with cryptocurency which will increase their chances of profiting from their investment. With stock and real estate, only the elites gets this chances and they hoard this information for themselves or close pals but with ICO, IDO open presale in cryptocurency everyone no matter the financial class can get their hands on this early opportunity.

I haven't used Bisq so can't say much about the exchange but I'm a big believer that Dexs can overtake centralized exchange. Thankfully big platforms like FTX just showed the world that no matter how you think a centralized exchange is big and can't be touched, they aren't invisible. When we talk about volumes, everyone that was active during the days of Defi hype can testify how mighty Uniswap was and were competing with the big centralized exchange with volume. Personal I haven't used any centralized exchange when I want to trade Ethereum tokens or Binance tokens (I used pancakeswap and Uniswap respectively) and they have quite decent volume.

Anyone that grows to understand Dexs will realize that they're more convenient than cex, on my trust wallet app (the dApp function) makes it easier to swapp/trade tokens as easily as possible and also faster than centralize exchange that I have to wait until a certain confirmation before my coins are accessable.

All this hack and projects going bankrupt dey hold that project back as the whole cryptocurency market dey in negative movement. Assuming everything dey neutral (I no dey even ask for bullish trend) that project for dun receive some push as World cup no be small event. Also this years world cup get as e be as I dey see rumors of people wanting to boycott the world cup due to the rules wey qatayjustbdey stone stone everywhere. As for the losses, na normal something na this space give us the money so if him take some share as our dues we gas pay no issue but the main thing be say, make e make sure say we go smile tomorrow.

In other news: Crypto-obsessed Nigerians reel as FTX collapses. Abeg anybody wey dey here dey badly affected by this FTX collapse. You be trader wey dey use the platform and some of your funds been dey there abi you be investors wey buy one or two coins for that exchange and keep and there. Anybody? I pray no body been dey affect wey we know personally as this one no go easy oh.

I don't think it'll be advisable for any premier league side to sign Ngolo Kante, I understand that he's an incredible player both at full and half capacity but he has gone past his prime amd now a liability for any club that sings him especially any club that intend to be competitive in their local or champions league. Liverpool should be wise enough to not fall for this trap suggestions as, there are better players out there that are worth signing. I don't think Liverpool would want a leftover of Chelsea and Mason mount rumors will just end as rumors as I doubt he'll be leaving Chelsea anytime soon.

All this speculations of him leaving are just strategy to use in negotiating a better deal for himself. Players use this all the time just as when Mbappe used the Real Madrid interest to get himself his current deal at PSG. Although Mason Mount shoudn't demand too much to put pressure on himself as if he gets on a very high salary and doesn't deliver weekly that'll lead to backlash and could affect his game.

.
People are acting like Chelsea wasn't horrible at the end of Thomas Tuchel era, I understand that we won the champion league with him but what happened a year later, Chelsea got totally humiliated by Real Madrid at their home and couldn't hold a lead we were having that could have taken us to the next stage of the competition and who knows maybe we would had been able to defend the title which is something no premier league side has been able to do. Chelsea picked up form immediately Potter was signed and we are still in the tournament.

Assuming Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked we would had gone out of the competition by now. Thomas Tuchel was playing a not so interesting football that revolved around passing the ball at the back without having any upfront force to put the goal at the back of the opponent post. With Potter, we're trying to be a little direct and with time we shall perfect that playing strategy and start winning games.
