I watched the Brighton vs Everton game. I never could have predicted that result. Brighton is a team that is in a very good form while Everton is battling relegation. If the score line had gone the other way round, it wouldn't have been much of a shock.
It is what it is, and the truth is that it is always quite tricky to play a team fighting for their lives in the EPL, and Brighton found out about that today. In this period of the season, upsets usually happen, the teams deep in the relegation battle can cause some shocking results, that's just the beauty of the EPL.

Having said that, big win for Everton, which moves them out of the drop zone and up to 17th on the table with 3 games left to be played, the pressure is back on Leicester City and Leeds United who are both 2 points behind Everton. Nottingham Forest also got a big win today against Southampton, and they are now 16th on the table, just one point above Everton and three above both Leicester and Leeds, we'd soon find out who is going to drop down to the Championship.

Can i just confirm that now the transaction didnt go through and the BTC has gone back into my portfolio is that the end of that transaction or can it still go through once the 40 sats per byte is matched?
@JamesDaniel90, for the umpteenth time, please read what other users have been telling you. Yes, that is the end of that transaction if you can see the funds you wanted to spend back inside your address, it means that your transaction was rejected, and that is because the fee was too low, thus there is no way your transaction can go through any longer. If it is still pending, then it can possibly go through, but you could choose to use RBF to hasten things up.

Having said that, if you really want to spend that funds again, check the mempool before spending to know the most suitable fee rate to choose for your transaction to be confirmed as soon as possible.

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?
Well, i have no experience in these things because i don't buy tokens/altcoins, i am an avid Bitcoin enthusiast, so i try as much as possible to buy and hodl only Bitcoin. Anyway from the experiences of others and from what i have read online, it might not be a good idea, these tokens are pump and dump coins and they can only survive on hype alone, quite a lot of them dump once they are listed. Mind you that a whole lot of these tokens were created by their owners to get rich themselves, thus they put no work into the projects, once they get the money they want, they dump it in an exchange and that's the end of the coin, if you're hodling it by then, i'm afraid you'd be on the receiving end of things.

The two matches in the Semi-finals seem to be really difficult to predict. A few days ago I might have thought Inter Milan would be the favorites against Ac Milan. but then I saw that Ac Milan also played very well in their latest match in Serie A. So now I'm starting to think again and don't know which team I should favourite.
The Italian top teams have been so erratic this season (except Napoli), thus this game is so unpredictable, it is fairly even at 50-50 imo, though i think the advantage might have shifted a little bit to Inter Milan's side because of the Injury to Rafael Leao against Lazio in the weekend. Even though his manager said it does not look serious, there is still a cloud of doubt as to whether Rafael Leao will be available for Wednesday's SF first leg against Inter Milan, the Portuguese superstar is so crucial to everything that AC Milan does, and if he does not play, Inter might actually have the advantage.
For the Real Madrid vs Man city match, I will probably favor Man City in that match.
Likewise myself, i have a feeling that this is Manchester City's season to win the Treble, it looks to have already been written in the skies and not even Real Madrid can stop them from getting into their 2nd CL final in their history; City would win this game both home and away.

What is going on with the fees lately?

I have just checked again to see how much it would cost to send more BTC to Coinbase and the 3 options are SLOW - 505 sat per byte MEDIUM - 506 &  FAST - 557  Shocked
Why are you asking the exact same question time and time again mate, Ordinals/BRC20 tokens are clogging the Bitcoin network and making transaction fees shoot up, there are quite a lot of threads discussing the same thing on the forum, even in the topic you created; thus you should no longer be asking "what's going on with fees"? But rather what's the solution to it, which i am afraid has to be either paying a high fee for higher priority, or low fee if you have time on your hands for your transaction to be confirmed (though you might want to enable RBF in case you get tired of waiting). The good part of things, as i have read though, is that this hype might not last too long (though don't take my word for it), thus things might return back to "normal" sooner or later.

Guardiola will definitely measure the opponent's strength in order to find a gap through the Real Madrid defense, the combination of Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Mahrez can be relied on by Guardiola to win at the Santiago Bernabeu.
I don't think Riyad Mahrez is going to start against Real Madrid tomorrow, i'm pretty sure Pep is going to play Bernado Silva over him in that right side of attack, whilst Mahrez is a very brilliant footballer, his work rate leaves a lot to be desired, and in big games such as this, when Pep needs all his players to contribute, both in defense and attack, Mahrez more often than not doesn't get picked.

Having said that, Bernado Silva is an excellent footballer, and with him, Haaland and Grealish in attack, Real Madrid's defense would have their hands full, i'm pretty sure it'd be a midfield trio of Rodri, Gundogan and Kevin de bruyne, i can't really predict the defense, with Ake out of this game due to injury, i expect Pep to make some tweaks in defense, and we'd see about that when the teamsheets are out tomorrow.

People store their assets in hot or cold wallets to prevent hackers and the unexpected locking of assets in exchanges and other factors that you cannot get your funds.
Mind your that funds stored in hot wallets are also susceptible to to being hacked/stolen, thus only keep an insignificant amount of your funds in a hot/online wallet, it should be your "spending funds", and must be an amount you can afford to lose. For your significant amount of your funds you cannot afford to lose, use a hardware wallet or other forms of complete cold storage, like an airgapped computer.

Centralised crypto exchanges are bad we get it but which centralised exchange can we use to hold up a small amount of our Bitcoin temporarily even if it is for the shortest period of time just to carry out a transaction? Furthermore because other centralised exchanges are going to shut down how about those that have already stood the test of time, the attacks and hacks, the political and social witch-hunting. Should we also be wary about them too?
Yes, be wary about all of them, all the centralized exchanges that have gone down also had their heydays, and in those times people said the same thing you are saying now, but when they collapsed, the victims who kept their funds there had themselves to blame, but it was then too late. Having said that, as long as the money you have in an exchange isn't for day trading, you should move it to your non-custodial wallet, don't leave your funds in an exchange, even if it is temporarily.

E get when Bitcoin mining dey easy, you fit just sit down with your laptop dey mine Bitcoin, but that time many people especially for our own part of the world no sabi wetin Bitcoin be, so i no sure say e get anybody wey dey for this our local section wey mine Bitcoin that time. As the matter be now, e dey almost impossible to mine Bitcoin for Naija, because of electricity cost and the cost of arranging a mining rig and buying the mining machines. If you dey find as you go accumulate Bitcoin, i go advive you make you just dey buy am steadily with Naira, no look that mining side.
I just find out say this forum dey since 2009, but why e nor popular? because me just find out this year
Shay na this year you garner interest for Bitcoin right? Na so e be, the forum dey popular to people wey dey interested in Bitcoin.

Generally, Custodial Wallet on this crypto sphere is a storage of crypto currency that offer centralized service. This kind of storage such as centralized crypto currency exchanges. Binance is one of the best for this option, although i believe that there are many options out there. Binance has secure system and big volume. 
When you talk about storage of cryptocurrencies, mind you that you should be looking away from exchanges, it is really baffling to me why one would leave good non-custodial wallets and keep their funds in an exchange that can be hacked anytime, or that can confiscate your funds for any flimsy reason. Trade on cryptocurrency exchanges and hodl your funds in non-custodial wallets, not just anyone of them, but a good one like electrum that is open source.

Thank you everyone for your candid opinions I sincerely appreciate. As a newbie, I've decided to follow laid down principles of this forum so that is why I tend to ask questions and seek clarifications wherever I'm somehow confused in the forum.
Whilst asking questions when stuck is good, mind you that the forum doesn't have too many rules or principles that if broken can get a user in trouble, the most obvious rule that would cause a problem for a user is posting plagiarized contents and posting malwares too, every other rule is somewhat minor and if broken you'd basically just be corrected, but plagiarism and posting malware would get you banned.
part of the forum's mission to be as free as possible.

Limiting newbie participation is very harmful for a community.
The post above is from the forum's administrator, so just post as freely and original as you can, your participation in this forum isn't limited in anyway. Just garner knowledge and discuss about Bitcoin and its whatnots.

Bayern Munich made a big mistake when they fired Nagelsmann this season and maybe they had better luck with Nagelsmann in the champions league right now Nagelsmann is a coach with offers from Tottenham and other teams...
Julian Nagelsmann and Bayern Munich is already a closed chapter, Thomas Tuchel is their new manager and that's the reality, Tuchel hasn't done well since arriving, he has been eliminated from two competitions and has only the Bundesliga title to compete for, anyway if he can win it with Bayern, it would help him prepare efficiently for next season. Having said that, Spurs seem to be interested in Nagelsmann, i don't know if he would want to go there considering the fact that Spurs do not win trophies, neither do they even compete for it, and Nagelsmann is a very competitive manager, but we'd see what happens in the Summer.

I am very new to all this all my crypto is on ledger never heard of mempool.
You are new quite alright, but just like o_e_l_e_o said, you are ignoring the advice of people trying to help you out, how can you say you've never heard of mempool when it was mentioned quite a lot of times in the previous thread you started and has been mention quite a lot of times in this thread too, it shows you are not reading, but only posting. The mempool is different from your ledger, your ledger is your HW wallet, whilst the mempool is just a "waiting room" for unconfirmed transactions (i hope you didn't mistake it for a type of wallet).
So as I have selected 40 sats per byte when the lowest I was being offered was 140, I should expect to wait a few days for the transaction to complete?
As has already been said, nobody can know for sure the exact time you're going to wait, just be checking the mempool whilst being patient, and if the transaction is still unconfirmed, you can bump the fee, but that's only if your enabled RBF.
High fees are annoying, but you need to look at a bigger picture. If Bitcoin suddenly went up and you want to dump it, it's better to pay a high fee (like $5-10) and get high profit than to wait for lower fee and risk the price crashing and your lost opportunity being higher than the saved fee.
Well, i don't think this is the most appropriate way to view transaction fees (whether high or low), every Bitcoin user should be happy to pay transaction fees and take it to mean them giving miners an incentive (or encouraging them) to mine Bitcoin and keep the Bitcoin network functioning well and most importantly, securely.
1274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 05, 2023, 05:42:26 PM
City v Leeds tomorrow is going to be pretty interesting, Sam Allardyce has just been appointed as the new Leeds boss, and his job is quite simple (but difficult): save Leeds from relegation. I didn't know big Sam was ever going to get back into the EPL as a manager, he has previously been appointed by clubs in dire situations like this, and he didn't do too badly, thus let us see if he can tick all the boxes for Leeds and keep them in the premier league, mind you that Leeds are 17th on the table, thus big Sam has his work cut out for him.

Having said that, in his first press conference upon his return, big Sam said there is no manager better than him in terms of footballing knowledge, he claims to be on the same level with Pep, Klopp and Arteta, thus i can imagine what the headlines would read if Leeds get a result at the Etihad tomorrow or if they get a battering.

Injuries really messed him up lately and its difficult if he will ever be able to play at some level. But knowing Zlatan Ibrahimovic i think he will continue to play football as much as he can. If he dosent find a big club he will probobly go back to Sweden and play there for sure
As a footballer when you get to a certain age, you can no longer play at the very top level, fatigue and recurrent injuries would definitely plague you, and thus you will be too slow to perform. Zlatan Ibrahimovich has been ineffective for the past couple of seasons now, i know he won the Seria A last season with AC Milan, but he contributed little or nothing to that title victory. Ibrahimovich has to accept the fact that he is 42, and either retire or go to a less competitive league to continue playing football, definitely no top club is going to be interested in him at the expiration of his currenct contract with AC Milan.

The race for the top four is heating up right at the end, two spots are already taken (by City and Arsenal), thus we have 2 spots left and i must say, quite a lot of teams are battling it out for these spots: Newcastle, Manchester United, Liverpool and prolly even Brighton with the way they have been playing all season. Mind you that Newcastle and Manchester United are in the driving seat to get that 2 coveted spots that's left, but in this game anything can happen from now until the end of the season, but a couple of wins in the remaining 4 games should see the both of them get over the line.

What I noticed is that if you are sending higher amount the transaction fee is always favourable compare to when you are sending a little amount.
This is not correct. Bitcoin transaction fee is not determined by the amount involved in the transaction. What determines the fee is your wallet input and output, how clogged the network is and the Bitcoin address that you are using for the transaction; mind you that you can always adjust the fee rate to your choice, but these are the factors that determine how high or low your fees can go if you want your transaction to be confirmed as fast (or slow) as possible.

Placing multi bets on English Premier league is never a welcome idea. Speaking from experience. I use to do multi bet on English Premier league and its always turn out to be a losing bet. There must be one or two games that will cut it.
Placing bets on any footballing game is risky and the chances of you losing are more often than not higher, if it were to be the other way round, the bookies would no longer be in business. The premier league is the toughest league in the world, but it is still very difficult to win bets in leagues that are not as tough as it is. The bookies know how to set the odds in their favor, if everyone was winning money left, right and center, they would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Having said that, City got another win yesterday against West Ham to frustrate Arsenal fans even more. The league is over, City know how to handle the pressure in title run-ins, and they are definitely going to see this one out, sorry to Arsenal fans.

If you're asking which coin/token is going to pump next, then i'm afraid nobody can be certain about that. Pump and dump coins are high risk coins because it is basically impossible to predict them, one thing is certain about them anyway, and that is that they have no actual utility and are definitely going to dump, but predicting if/when they'll pump is not possible.
