1561  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MetaMask issues scam alert as NameCheap hacker sends unauthorized emails on: February 13, 2023, 03:21:59 PM
Users have always being taught not to click on links anyhow, and if you receive unsolicited messages, either through email or any other means, it is best to avoid it. Once an attacker has access to your seed phrase, your funds are gone, thus they would do everything possible to ensure you type your seed phrase unknowingly in clone sites. I think many people do not know how important their seed phrase is, that is why they easily fall victim to scam, one should only enter their seed phrase if they want to import their funds, that is after they must have double/triple checked that they are in the right place, only after downloading through the official website.

Having said that, it is also good to have multiple email addresses, using throw away addresses for untrusted websites, whilst having special addresses for trusted websites, so you know what to expect/how to react when you see a message in a particular address.

Well imo i think a lot depends on the crypto you're buying, if you want to purchase altcoins, then you shouldn't do so when they have just pumped, they are basically pump and dump coins, and you might be buying at a time it is about to dump into oblivion. The best time to buy any coin is when the price is low, but if you are a long term investor you can buy Bitcoin at anytime (high or low), and if you are patient enough, you'd still accrue ROI in the long term. But it is quite risky with altcoins, you could buy an alt when it is high, then it dumps and never rises again, leaving you a bagholder.

It doesn't exist on the forum per se, people who don't want to be unique and post things out of their own knowledge use it to make posts on the forum, though it is against the rules.
So it means no one using it at the moment?
One last question, if you know there is someone using an AI bot --are they able to quote post too? [like what I did?]
Of course users are using it, what i meant by "it doesn't exist in the forum per se" is that the users who use some of these AI bots are real humans who use bots to answer questions and communicate on the forum (and can quote posts too), what they do is that when they want to make a post on the forum, they copy what the discussion/question is about and paste it in the text box in their AI application/website, and whatever response they are given, they basically come back to the forum and paste it here as their own thought on the topic, or use it to start a new topic.

Can you tell me how to spot them? Are you using tools to this determine the AI user?
Or it is simply because they are having low-quality posts means they are using AI bots on posting here in the forum.
Low quality posts doesn't denote/connote that the post was written by an AI writing system, individuals can write low quality posts off their own head/knowledge. Out of ones own intuition, they could spot a post that looks like it was written by an AI bot, but it is somewhat difficult to be certain, even with the aid of detectors. The thing is, if you suspect a post was written through that means, report it.

It has been an impressive season for Newcastle United, with Eddie Howe doing a massive job at the magpies and doing everything right to drag nufc into the champions league places in the coming season. With good amount of money spent; Newcastle United supporters are living the dream. Would they get top 4 come the end of the season? time would tell
The good thing for every Newcastle fan right now is that they haven't even spent anything at all, i know they have bought a couple of players since the take over, but the transfer fees were pretty moderate and the players were either decent/average players, now come to think of how well they would do when they actually 'unlock' their big bank and start acquiring quality/world class players; it looks like the years to come would be happy times for Newcastle Football Club.

Having said that, CL qualification for next season is key for them to allure the kind of quality players they need, right now they are on the right path, and if Eddie Howe can achieve this with the team, his name would be enshrined in their history forever. They currently occupy 4th position in the League standings, though having played one game less than Manchester United in 3rd; they are also the team that have lost the fewest times in the League this season (just 1 loss), if they maintain this consistency, they would make it to the CL.

I have been seeing posts saying about the possible Manchester city penalty and reduction of points which may also affect them in the Champions League but I have never seen a post that highlighted the actual offence of Manchester city. Or is their offence not spelt out in black and white?
Of course the offenses are known, i have read quite a lot of articles on the story; the charges against City are over 100, but they can be summarized based on sponsorship deals: the Premier League are charging City for allegedly inflating their revenue, according to the Premier League, most of their revenues were coming from the club owners rather than from the income the club were making through doing business internally. There is also an accusation that City were paying their manager Roberto Mancini more than what they stated he was being paid, remember he was manager of City from 2009-2013, thus the EPL claims that within that time he was earning more (though secretly) than what City have in their payroll books. There are more, but this is like the core of them, you can search online to find out more.
Arsenal should not underrate Brentford because they are in good form and has not lost more matches than Arsenal.
Brentford are in good form, but mind you that they have lost more games than Arsenal, whilst Arsenal have lost just 2 games (the fewest in the league this season after Newcastle), Brentford have lost 4 times, though for a club like them that doesn't really have 'unlimited' funds to spend, it is a great feat. I'm pretty sure Brentford are going to give the Gunners a good run for their money tomorrow.
1567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: February 10, 2023, 07:16:43 AM
Al Wehda is not one of the strongest teams in the Saudi Professional League. But the performance from Cristiano Ronaldo yesterday would have silenced his critics, who were vocal about his poor form in the initial matches.
I basically do not understand it when people give Ronaldo some stick for a little dip in form, it is like the media is always ready to drag his name in mud at every slight chance. I mean, this is a player that has scored over 500 club League goals, you should know that even if he has a minor dip, he is definitely going to bounce back strongly, which he did with his new club Al-Nassr yesterday.

Having said that, whilst i miss watching Ronaldo in Europe, i am quite happy he is now enjoying life in Saudi Arabia, even though i love the Portuguese superstar so much, his happiness is paramount, and he was facing quite a lot of disrespect in Europe (Manchester United), thus since this move brings him well deserved happiness and respect, then i love it. Ronaldo is going to score many more goals and hopefully Al-Nassr wins many titles for the period he plays for them.

Liverpool and Chelsea find themselves in rather precarious positions right now, but everything is possible. I think we should watch how they do in their next game before making any judgments.
Users aren't just making judgements about Liverpool and Chelsea, their performances of late have been pretty bad and honestly one cannot even predict the position they will find themselves come the end of the season. Whilst i don't think it is possible for them to finish in the bottom half of the table, i think it is highly improbable that they are going to make top four in the EPL. Maybe at best a Europa League or a Europa Conference League spot, but then again one can ask if it isn't better they completely miss out on European football for next season and concentrate on the EPL, than to qualify for the Europa League or Europa Conference League.
1569  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Our niaja next president on: February 09, 2023, 12:10:10 PM
We no go fit speak for everybody, as i they so, i they support Peter Obi because i believe say na im go fit work well so this country go move forward, but just because i believe in that no mean say Mr B or Mr C share the same ideology with me. Naija na country with different ethnic groups, religion, beliefs, etc, so all of us no fit think in the same way and you no fit force person, that is why we they practice democracy.

Having said that, make everybody support their own candidate and vote for him, then allow INEC to do their own job, it is a very pivotal moment for Nigeria, and i hope say Peter Obi go emerge victorious, but the only thing i can do is to cast my vote for him and hope that majority of Nigerians do so.

The idea of mentorship isn't all that appreciated here, Bitcoin is a do it yourself kinda network, thus the forum is along that same line. Well everything has been made pretty easy, all you need do is search and research and you will find whatsoever you are looking for, then you can read it and garner knowledge. In any aspect you need clarification on, you basically make a new post about it, and users will help you out, there is absolutely no need for any individual mentor or coach.

Having said that, you've brought yourself out as a noob, so be careful of PM's from anybody offering to be your mentor, it might just be a scam, remember you have a responsibility to learn how to protect yourself/your funds.

We are still waiting for the response from the management. One day they will realize and will announce for the local board for the Pakistan community.
I am quite optimistic for you guys, and i am pretty sure you'd get you own local board, it might take awhile for sure, but the more you get in the faces of the administrators as to why you guys deserve your local board, the sooner it would come. My local community had to wait a very long time before we got ours, and from the looks of things, i perceive you guys would be next. I understand how difficult it is to communicate effectively in a local thread, but a local board ensures things are very organized and discussions go on smoothly. I wish you guys all the best of luck in your quest, quite a lot of users supported us when we were asking for ours, thus you guys have my full support in this. Cheers.

Match between manchester United and Leeds will be and interesting game because anytime the two teams meet at this point the host side always triumph over the visiting team, judging with Manchester United recent form this match will be a work over for them but the away side is expected to score because of their attacking force.
Leeds fired their manager Jesse Marsch a couple of days ago, i think firing Jesse so close to this crunching encounter isn't going to help the team in their quest to beat Manchester United, they would feel like a team in disarray at the moment, and imo it is going to be pretty easy for Manchester United to pick them apart. I don't know who is going to be in the dugout for Leeds tonight, maybe their assistant coach or something, but i don't think he would be able to rally the boys to something special at Old Trafford tonight.

Having said that, i can understand the decision to show Jesse the door (i mean, Leeds are 17th in the EPL standings), but i think (and i heard some pundits say the same too) they would have waited for this game to come and go first, anyway we'll see what happens tonight.
1573  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: February 08, 2023, 05:20:13 PM
The price of BTC just drop down to $22k few days ago, which is another opportunity for those that missed last year not to invest in a stable coins to do it now because, the price of BTC will surely reach $80k before the end of this year 2023.
Bitcoin is not a stablecoin, it isn't pegged to any other currency or commodity, in case you do not quite understand the difference, a good example of a stablecoin is USDT, you can research about it to know how they work and the difference between them and Bitcoin.

Having said that, as for if Bitcoin can touch 80k this year, i'd say no, it doesn't mean i can't be wrong, i just don't think Bitcoin can get to that price when we are yet to experience the next Bitcoin halving. Bitcoin is a long term coin and it'd definitely get to that price, but since nobody can be sure of when, all one can do is continue to accumulate for now.

The problem with this scarcity of Naira so ehn, no be say the policy bad like that oh, but how you go wan implement policy, you no come plan everything well so the transition go they so sweet and smooth. Naija matter tire me i swear, no accurate planning at all, sometimes i no know if our oga's at the top they take decisions without thinking. If to say this transition waka smoothly and Nigerians no come they suffer like this, i no sure say anybody go they complain.

Right now, Klopp is doing his best for changing fortune, but things are not working in his favour but good thing happening Liverpool management is giving him good time which is positive as he still capable of changing things in team's favour even this season is going to be nightmare for them, but hopefully they will have positive change at the end.
Of course what would you expect, Liverpool isn't really a club that hardly flinches before firing a manager, and Jurgen Klopp has also engineered quite a lot of success for the club in recent years, he was the manager who broke their decades long wait for a premier league title, thus it is only reasonable that the club give him more time in this difficult situation.

Having said that, i can't see any good fortunes coming for Liverpool this season, i think they can't wait for the summer to come pretty quickly so they could sign some new players, the club looks desperately in need of fresh legs. With the way Liverpool are playing i don't think they stand any chance against Real Madrid in the CL RO16, i would put my money on Real Madrid having a field day against them and advancing to the QF.
1576  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving is Wasting? on: February 08, 2023, 10:51:19 AM
Saving only sounds like a waste to a couple of people because there are no chances of your money appreciating, and it could as well depreciate depending on how strong or weak the currency you are saving is.

Well, imo i'd say you should work according to your risk appetite, because there is practically risk in everything. Saving might carry a lower risk anyway, because you could basically just leave your money in tbe bank and earn tiny interest on it every year; the only risk with that method is the effects of inflation. Whilst investments are quite risky, though some are more risky that the other; if you are to buy Bitcoin as an investment for example, you'd have to learn what the risk concerns are, and how to imbibe the responsibility of being your own bank so you don't lose your coins to scammers or sheer negligence, but if you can do things right you stand the chance of earning a very good ROI in the long term.

It is your future, and only you can decide, you just have to look at the pros and cons of it all. Better still you can split your money and invest some, whilst you save some.

Aubameyang's career is over, the Aubameyang I used to watch in Arsenal is far from the Aubameyang in blue jersey. This has become a tragic story and to add salt to wound Chelsea taken him off the Champions league. At this point, he may be tempted to just retire and hang his boots to avoid further humiliation in the future.
Well, that could be an option, the Gabonese superstar is currently enduring the lowest point in his career and i can imagine what would be going through his head on what's next for him going forward in his career, he seems to be completely off Graham Potter's plans, and there is a possibility that he wouldn't play a single match again for Chelsea, that is utterly humilating. Aubameyang is just 33 years of age right now, so it is somewhat still early for him to retire from the game, but i think his time is up at the elite level, there are rumors of him moving the the MLS and stuff like that, that seems to be the best option for him right now, a move to a less competitive league, maybe even to Saudi Arabia.

Wetin i know be say Wike just they do all these things to hamper Atiku's chances of becoming president, immediately after the primaries wey Wike lose, he no they happy with the result since then, as e believe say the candidacy suppose come the south, but PDP still manage give am to a Northern man wey be Atiku. Wike and him G-5 governor friends no fit decide who go be president, and i no think say them don even talk say na wetin them go do, wetin Wike been they do since na to carry Nigerians they play, say e go soon decide who him they support for this presidential election, small time e comot talk say e no go make that declaration for public again. Wike just want make Atiku sweat, and e they somehow bring disunity into PDP ahead of the elections.

Having said that, make nobody deceive you say e get power to decide who go be presido, na me and you wey be the electorate so na im go decide who go be president, na out PVC get that power, so make we no sell our votes, but make we come out that day, vote for the candidate of our choice.
1579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 06, 2023, 11:59:17 PM
I agree, I don't think that Chelsea would target Osimhen when they already have Nkunku, even Osimhen wouldn't want to be played from game to game and get replaced in the middle of the match all the time, he might want to join a club where he is the main striker and play most 90 minutes.
Victor Osimhen should cost around 100 million pounds in the summer, that is definitely not an amount Chelsea can spend in this forthcoming summer transfer window, not that they can't afford it, but because of the amount of money they've already spent in the last two transfer windows. As a result of that they might have to take things pretty slow in the summer, except they are going to sell some players for good money, thus they can they balance their books. I'm pretty sure they would be looking at the charges leveled against City today, and they'll want to make sure that it doesn't get to them in the future.

I honestly don't think any other team is going to win the English Premier League title this season other than Arsenal. Manchester City is too engaged in the Champions League. And the other teams are just not close enough to Arsenal to give them consistent pressure for the title. I feel like Arsenal is going to win the title this time. Unless of course Arsenal starts losing and Manchester City start winning. I am not saying that cannot happen. That obviously can happen, but that is more possible than probable Smiley.
Manchester City's problem isn't that they are engaged in the CL, the CL group stage was over a very long time ago, City didn't even have a great CL group stage, but notwithstanding, they have been off CL duties for many months, and the CL doesn't restart until later this month, thus i can't even make that as an excuse for City. There seems to be something wrong with City, even with Pep's team selections, leaving out key players like De Bruyne, Laporte, Diaz, Foden, etc, and even the decision to let Cancelo go, it all seems so weird. City problems have even been compounded today as they have been charged by the EPL for alleged breach of the FFP rules, this is really going to affect City's performances. It might just be that season for City, were they don't win anything.
