It's clear that the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid looks getting wider, but last year Barcelona won the league, just because they lost it this year doesn't mean they suck. I think they will do fine eventually and that means we are going to get better and better eventually, that is the most important part of their development, it will take some time but they will be better.
Barcelona are going through a rough patch right now, both on and off the pitch, they have had huge financial constraints for the past few years and it will definitely last longer than that that. The manager, Xavi, announced a few weeks ago that he would be leaving the team at the end of the season, so that puts Barcelona in a position were they have to replace him, and this adds to the problems the club already have.

Having said that, in a club like Barcelona that is amongst the elite clubs in world football, the pressure is always going to be there for them to get back to their previous levels, and the fans want it to happen ASAP.

With a few notable members leaving the forum or becoming inactive. There is definitely a void that needs to be filled up.
Its been quite a long time since Theymos added new MS's, but within that time source merits have decreased quite a lot, some MS's became somewhat inactive, and some others completely left the forum. I think right now Theymos would really be considering adding new MS's, it has been a long time coming, but this period seems like the perfect time; there is no dearth of MS applications, there are so many reputable members waiting in the pipeline, and this makes Theymos' job pretty easy, he just has to pick a few out of those waiting.

If the wallets are yours and you have the seed phrase, use it to import the wallet, passwords only encrypt the wallet on your own device, but once you use the seed phrase to import a wallet, it is no longer protected by any password, and at that point you can create a new password. Apparently this wallet is not yours, and you have been scammed through buying wallet.dat files, nobody can help you decrypt the wallet and nobody should waste their time on this case because it is your greed that cost you your money.

What are the chances that this AI tool has been created or sponsored by powerful entities to further their ambitions in creating a global secure digital identity?
Let me ignore the conspiracy theory, but how is this tool creating a global secure digital identity when it is generating fake identities in order for people to bypass KYC requirements anywhere it is required. I know that if you use this fake identities, you get to keep your own real identity, but it is fraudulent and favors scammers and criminals, rather than committing this fraud because you think you want to protect your privacy, just use decentralized exchanges.

Man City's next opponent is Everton. Seeing how different the strengths of these two teams are, Everton has little chance of winning, especially since the match will take place at Man City's home ground, there is really little chance of Man City being able to beat
City have a chance to leapfrog Liverpool and top the table tomorrow (at least until Liverpool play their own game), that is if they beat Everton, which i think they will, Everton is definitely a tough opponent and this game would have been tougher if it was at the Goodison park, but at the Etihad, City are unstoppable, more often than not.

Having said that, victory for City tomorrow would put Liverpool under pressure when they face Burnley later in the day, the EPL is now at its most interesting and crucial stage, and any drop of points now could prove costly, and the team that can go on the "longest winning run" would prolly win the title.

Sources say that Salah is happy at Liverpool. but a final decision will be made in the coming days, considering how things unfold.
I also agree that Salah is very happy at Liverpool, he has been there for a long time and has won trophies with the team, i don't see a reason why Salah would be unhappy at Liverpool. Having said that, if he leaves at the end of this season, it would not be because he is unhappy with the club, but because he feels his time in Liverpool and in England is over, if Salah leaves, there is one destination that looks very likely, and that is the Saudi league, they have been after Salah since last summer and they might get him this summer, we'd see how it pans out.

I've witnessed De Bruyne's absence dampen City's flair. The pitch is his chessboard because he amplifies everyone's performance. De Bruyne's vision greatly benefits Haaland. Goals boost team morale and performance, not simply score marks. Their comeback is predicted; City must dominate again.
There is no doubt that City greatly missed Kevin De Bruyne when he was absent, and prolly Erling missed him the most individually, because Kevin creates a lot of big chances and that gives the Norwegian many more opportunities to score goals. Nonetheless we cannot take anything away from Julian Alvarez who replaced the belgian when he was absent and played in that role excellently, the Argentine has been an absolute bargain for the Ctizens and that is another proof that City's recruitment process is the best in the world.

Pep has got himself a "good" headache, because Julian Alvarez is now indispensable in this City team and now that KDB is back, he would be forced to play them both together and maybe change his tactics/formation a little bit.

I think Real Madrid will beat them, comfortably, on both legs and it will not cause any trouble at all. I am only predicting this, I could be wrong, bigger shocks happened before and I think it's still possible, I just think that the best thing regarding Real Madrid is that they take UCL very seriously.
Real Madrid is definitely going to progress to the QF, i cannot remember the last time they were eliminated in the RO16 of the CL, that's why they are the kings of this tournament, and with the addition of Jude Bellingham to their team, they are a stronger force than they were last season and they might make it to the final this time.

Having said that, i am not sure of a home and away victory, Leipzig might mamage to hodl on to a draw in their own home, but Real Madrid would definitely be the team to progress at the end of this tie.

The main reason for buying or acquiring Bitcoin is to get rich. People usually invest in these assets to get rich quickly. Over the years, Bitcoin prices continue to amaze many people and I am imagining about the people who bought Bitcoin 5 or 10 years ago. I am sure they became millionaires. If, in this short span, a person becomes a millionaire, then why not try your luck in it?   Another advantage of having Bitcoin is that you will have your money in your custody.
You are right in your last point, when you hodl Bitcoin you have your money in your own custody and under your control, but i somewhat disagree with your first point of Bitcoin making many people millionaires.

It isn't as easy as just buying Bitcoins and the next thing you know is you are rich, quite a lot of people tend to think this way and end up being disappointed, before you can make so much money through buying Bitcoins, you either bought or mined a lot of it a long time ago and you have been hodling since then, for those who buy only when they see an appreciation in its price, there is no way they can become "rich" doing that, even though they can prolly make ROI.

Many congratulations to both Nigeria and Ivory coast as they are going to face each other in the final, that would be the second time they are meeting in this tournament, remember Nigeria beat Ivory coast in the group stage, but i am pretty sure this one (the final) is going to be tougher. I am Nigerian, so i hope we defeat the hosts on Sunday, we have the quality and determination to do it and i believe in our boys to bring the trophy back gome.

Having said that, this has to be the best AFCON i have ever witnesses, since i started watching the tournament, the professionalism of the players and the teams is at its highest level, every game is tough, interesting and unpredictable; this has indeed been a great showing for Africa and African football and Sunday would be the culmination of it all.

We can say that Chelsea became a cup team this year, they got good results in the cup matches and that is the aim. While Aston Villa had a fantastic week behind them, they were dealt a crushing defeat by Chelsea in the cup match.
I agree, and i think they are concentrating more on the cup games, now that they know the only thing they are challenging for in the EPL is to finish in the top half of the table, they cannot even qualify for Europe next season. Thus it would be good for Pochettino if he can win one of the domestic cups. Chelsea are already in the final of the Carabao cup and they are now into the fifth round in the FA Cup, there is still a long way to go in the FA Cup and as for the Carabao cup, they face off against a very tough opponent in Liverpool in the final, we'd see how things pan out for them.

Crypto will defend itself in Naija and they youths are behind it. Crypto can't go down in Nigeria just because of few individuals chasing clout.
As you can see, the news na fake news and e dey shock me as some reputable news sites been carry this news for their pages without verifying its authenticity. BTW, governments no dey after crypto because them wan ban am, dem dey after crypto because them wan monitor and regulate am, and dem also wan dey gain from am through taxes, but mind you say any government can declare crypto illegal in their jurisdiction, and that will be the end of crypto for that location, and for example if e happen for Naija (which i don't think it will), you and "the youths" no go fit do anything about am.

If Real Madrid only offered a salary of 21 million pounds it would be a very far salary reduction. because Mbappe's current salary at PSG is 72 million euros. so it would be a very far nominal salary reduction.
Of course Real Madrid cannot pay Mbappe what he earns in PSG, they do not overpay players the way the French champions do, PSG do not have the kind of structure that Real Madrid has, they overpay in salaries, wages and bonuses and that is not how a well run club should operate. If Mbappe wants to play for Real Madrid, which is arguably the biggest club in the world, he knows within himself that he must take a pay cut.

Binance is a Centralized Exchange Platform which is fully equipped with KYC so non KYC projects might not be a favorable to it operation because it would like to ask for KYC whenever customers and client register nto their services which will also against the policy of the non KYC projects therefore they cannot work together.
That is not what the problem is for these centralized exchanges, of course before trading in any centralized exchange, you have to pass KYC on the platform, the reason many of these centralized exchanges are delisting privacy coins is that they cannot trace/track the transactions, so they cannot get information about it and report to the government or chain analysis companies if they need information about such transactions.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 06, 2024, 10:12:56 PM
The performance of Manchester City improved since they had both players Haaland and De Bruyne at the same time while both players were in the good form otherwise they could not get any of these results.
It is good news for City that both Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are fit and back again, but even in their absence City were winning games, they dropped a couple of points, but they still won a lot of games and scored many goals, City is not a one man team and they can achieve success even with a few players out.

Having said that, Pep would be glad that all his players are 100% fit, no injury worry and no player on the treatment table, it gives him the opportunity to tinker and play with different patterns, he would also be afforded the chance to rotate when it is necessary, especially in a busy month like February.

While I understand that mixers are being banned on the forum, I don't believe it was a good idea to change the names of all the former legitimate mixers to "[banned mixer]".
The thing is, you cannot post URL's of mixers in the forum, it will be automatically wordfiltered if you try to post it, but you can write the name of mixers, without posting a link that takes users to their websites. If you want to "report" or "identify" any mixer, just write the names of the mixer, without their URL's.

In addition, I am sure that Haaland's transfer fee will be too high for Real Madrid to want to buy him. Real Madrid will have the opportunity to sign Mbappe this summer, who is out of contract with PSG, and that will be enough for them.
The story of Haaland being unhappy at City and that he could move to Real Madrid is BS, Haaland won the treble with City in his first season, broke many records and came very close to winning the ballon d'or. How can any player in his right senses be unhappy with this statistics and feat, Haaland is definitely happy at City and he would be there for a very long time.

Real Madrid look certain to sign Mbappe this summer, and they definitely cannot bring in Haaland to their team, in addition to what would be a great signing for them, they have been chasing Mbappe for a very long time now and they'll soon have him, whilst City would keep their Norwegian marksman.

Great win for City today and congratulations to Foden on his hat-trick, Brentford did the double over City last season and when Maupay sent them ahead tonight, it looked like they were going to make it 3 wins on the spin against City, but a 5 star performance from Foden made the difference for the Citizens and gave them the well deserved victory.

The win takes City up to second position in the table, level on points with Arsenal, but above them in goal difference, now City have a game in hand (against Brentford), of which if they win they would top the table. City are coming and Liverpool and Arsenal must be concerned right now, once Pep's men start winning games in a row, they become unstoppable and go all the way.
319  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which wallet can i use for my needs on: February 05, 2024, 06:18:34 PM
I agree with other comment like seperate between btc and altcoin wallet. for btc use trust wallet, you need keep phrase and this secure option because it supports Bitcoin and a wide array of altcoins, meaning you can manage multiple types of crypto assets within just one wallet.
Do not use trust wallet to hodl your Bitcoins, trust wallet supports many altcoins and also Bitcoin, but use it for only your altcoins, and choose from the other safe and secure alternatives for your Bitcoin, like electrum wallet.
they are numerous wallets that support bitcoin and altcoins like metamusk, electrum etc.
Mind you that electrum wallet does not support both Bitcoins and Altcoins, electrum wallet is a Bitcoin-only wallet.
320  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Crypto P2P market the cause of BDC operation closedown in FCT on: February 05, 2024, 04:29:58 PM
all these that they were doing is to ensure a hike in the market price for dollar to naira, this is nothing than hoading so that the market price will rise and the will sell higher as the demands rises,
The Naira just dey lose value to the dollar constantly, and even if BDC operators dey hoard the Dollar wey dem get, no be wetin go make the Naira just dey fall in value to the U.S. dollar, the reasons na wetin i don already list for my post above. Na government policies and poor state of the economy na im dey affect us, if we were a producing nation that is attracting funds from abroad and foreign investors too, we no go too bother wetin BDC operators dey do, and dem no go even fit hoard dollar, because the Naira go dey appreciate and na them go lose.
