Manchester City have been performing exceptionally well as they managed to win two titles last season. The team managed to win another title early in the season which boosted the confidence of every player in the team. Hopefully they can do something great in this season's Premier League as well.
Manchester City won three titles last season, and not two, they are the treble winners (CL, Fa Cup and EPL) and they have added the Uefa Super Cup to the list of their titles this season. City are definitely the team to beat and i'm pretty sure teams in England and Europe will want to stop them at all cost, City remain the favorites to defend all the trophies they won last season, so we'll see how things pan out.
I cannot imagine how would the home fans of Chelsea be thinking if their team are not able to beat Luton Town today after the club had spent so much money in the transfer market and brought in so many talented players.
This is the sort of pressure that Chelsea and Pochettino will be under this season, the club has spent so much, thus the fans are going to expect so much from the manager and players, Chelsea have to get the 3 points tonight.

Many of the crypto Trading platfrom and other such as IDO platfrom required KYC for full access to their service. it'a not a big issue to do it. but, sometimes this type of project get down. On this sisuation they are able to sell our information on Dark web or other Agencies. also, if our goverment force them to share personal information i think they might be ready to share. so, it's hard to get full access from a KYC required project.
Any custodial service that has your data can do this, either they will be compelled by the government to hand it over to them, or the KYC information could leak and be sold in the dark web if the custodial service is hacked, as so many of them are. Scammers are also using people's KYC details to attack them via identity theft, their data is used to register on centralized exchanges for scam purposes and used to even steal money from their fiat accounts.

There is so much that an attacker can do with your KYC information, and once you have given this data to at least one custodial service, you run the risk of being a victim, the more services you give it to, the higher the risk you run.

Critical game for Chelsea tonight against the newcomers in Premier League,Luton town,they need to win this game at all cost otherwise I am sure the Chelsea management will not get this well if Chelsea does not manage to win this at their home.In fact they should win this with a comfortable goals difference as in the first game at home they made Liverpool look like a team of the Championship so in theory a team like Luton should easily be beaten.
Newly promoted teams can sometimes be potential banana skin for the bigger clubs, thus Chelsea have to be wary because this game can turn out to be tricky for them. There is also additional pressure on Chelsea because they have failed to win any of their opening two games, thus the players will know that this one is a must win game and it could make them play less comfortably.

Having said that, for Luton Town they have nothing to lose, they just have to go out there and cause Chelsea as much troubles as possible and hope for at least a draw. Anyway, i think Chelsea will get their first victory this season tonight.

As a Liverpool fan I’m happy with Mac Allister & Szoboszlai coming in. Endo doesn’t move me, I think we are lacking a top quality DM, hence our chasing of Lavia & Caicedo. We need a LCB too, overall we really should have done more. I don’t expect us to bring anybody else in which is stupid. Looks like a top 4 battle, not a title fight. However we still now have a better, younger, more athletic midfield than last season.
Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are really great improvements from last season in terms of midfielders, the both of them are young, energetic and their movement with the ball is top class, but i get what you are saying, it doesn't seem enough for the title, i didn't know Endo until Liverpool signed him and i can't predict how well he will do in DM this season. Liverpool's transfer business might be over for the summer, but i think they'll be back in January, depending on how the team performs until them, i think Liverpool will try again for a midfielder in January, and they might be lucky that time.

Manchester City looks very good this season as well. Arsenal need to do something to make a difference. They couldn't handle the pressure last season and made a lot of mistakes in the last weeks. I hope they have learned from those mistakes and won't repeat them this season.
One thing's for sure, and it's that Arsenal are learning and growing, though i don't think they've learnt enough to usurp City this season, but they are going to be their closest competitor for the EPL title. City has all it takes to get over the line again, they have the experience and they know how to handle the pressure, especially in the final weeks of the season. Arsenal still have quite a lot of learn and experience to garner, but i can see this group of Arsenal players winning the title in a few years time.

Aymeric Laporte is another player of the premier league who is going to leave this league to Saudi teams and now Aymeric Laporte is going to play for Al Nasr in the next season.
I feel particularly sad about Laporte's move to the Saudi Pro League, it just goes to show how quickly a player can fall out of favor with their manager. Aymeric Laporte used to be a very important player for City and Pep, but since last season he has had very limited playing time and now he has to leave. I'm surprised that teams in Europe weren't interested in him even when City were ready to sell him for a very low amount. Laporte's time in Europe is up for now, and he has to embrace this new challenge and do his very best, he could prolly return to Europe at some time later in the future.
887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What features are now expected from cryptocurrencies? on: August 23, 2023, 08:06:38 PM
There are a lot of cryptocurrencies on the market right now, from those that focus on privacy to those that focus on development.
What other features or technologies are out there that people are hoping to get?
Quite rightly there are already a lot of cryptocurrencies in the market, and most of them either just copy the features of other coins or they promise features that they really cannot offer. I don't think we need anymore new coins, they more often than not turn out to be useless coins without any actual utility or even scam coins at the worst. Having said that, if people need a coin with an actual utility, they'd have to use Bitcoin or a few other altcoins that have utility, as for speculation, they can pick the coins they think would pump and give them ROI, but no more new coins with fake promises!
888  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ledger, safe or not? on: August 23, 2023, 06:43:20 PM
What is your verdict? Safe? Avoid?
Avoid if you are just about buying a new hardware wallet. As for safe, if you were already using Ledger before they announced the Ledger recovery service, you might just continue using it as you have been doing so, but of course without 'subscribing' to the new Ledger recovery service, but whenever you decide to get a new hardware wallet, you should ditch Ledger for a different brand; because there is then no reason to continue using it.
But any hardware wallet service can deploy a new software update and take your keys as most people do not know how to verify the source even if it is open.
If it is open source and you can't verify the code yourself, i think you should at least wait for others who can to verify it and see if there are complaints about bugs/malicious lines before you update yours.
889  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Am confused !!!! on: August 22, 2023, 11:44:34 PM
Besides Bitcoin, there are hundreds of token/coin you can make profit from.
Pump and dump coins you mean, or coins/tokens that have no actual utility but survive on just hype, i'm pretty sure you yourself don't believe in what you just said. Making ROI through crypto isn't as straightforward as that, even with a coin like Bitcoin that has an actual utility, now if it is with Altcoins, it becomes a whole lot more difficult and somewhat like Gambling or looking for a needle in a haystack, because out of even a hundred of them, you might struggle to find one good coin/token.

I am aware that Manchester City have agreed and sealed in a €60 million deal with Rennes for Jeremy Doku this week, medicals now scheduled and booked for Wednesday. The supporters of Manchester City are thrilled about this news. Manchester City have been involved in several deals this summer and many did not pull through, this is a good one and one to be excited about.
The reason why it seems City go into negotiations with clubs and don't come out successful sometimes is because of their strict policy of not overpaying for players, they must ensure that the player is worth the selling club's valuation before they agree to the deal and make payments. We've seen City walk away from numerous deals in the last couple of years because the selling clubs were asking for too much money.

Having said that, Jeremy Doku is a new City player, i don't know too much about this player, but i read he is a very impressive winger, thus City will be very happy to have him. This signing is their third of the summer, but i think they still need at least one more midfielder, talks between City and West Ham for Paqueta already broke down, thus they have to look elsewhere if they are to sign a midfielder before the window closes.

Pochettino has not proved anything other than just his bad experience in the last two matches. Chelsea only drew against Liverpool, while they lost 3-1 to West Ham. Of course that's a shame after Chelsea, who has been spending so much money so far to build an elite squad.
Whilst it has been a pretty bad start for Chelsea and Pochettino, it is still too early on in the season and Chelsea have all the time in the world to put things right and start getting good results. I know that they have spent quite a lot of money in the last three transfer windows and thus it'll make people grow more impatient with Chelsea and Pochettino because they expect results immediately.

Having said that, money isn't enough in building a winning team, a club can buy quite a lot of good players, but when the manager cannot get the best out of them, they'll just be like an ordinary team; Pochettino has a lot of work to do in order to get this Chelsea team back to winning ways, or else his job would be on the line.

Make sure that you release money from escrow only when the money has been seen in your bank account if you are the seller. If you are the buyer, make sure you report the seller after you you have sent money if he does not want to release the coin from escrow.
The case in your OP is different from the usual seller refusing to release funds from escrow or buyer not actually sending funds but marked the order as paid, etc. The source in your OP is talking about identity theft, scammers are buying and stealing people's banking details and using it to carry out peer to peer trades, i don't really know how much info you'd have to give away for a scammer to be able to send money out of your bank account without you knowing, (but i guess it has to be so much).

Thus the warning has to be that users should protect their personal details, don't post it anywhere or inadvertently send it to scammers when looking for cheap buck. Once the scammer makes this anauthorized payment and receive the coins, there is no way to retrieve it or trace them because it was your details that was used for the registration process.
893  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think privacy is important for a beginner? on: August 22, 2023, 07:56:21 PM
Privacy is important to all people but we never know if the beginners in Bitcoin jumping into the Bitcoin bandwagon because of the privacy Bitcoin gives.
Bitcoin doesn't really give privacy per se, it all depends on how you actually use Bitcoin. The reason why privacy is a possibility whilst using Bitcoin is because of decentralization, thus you can use it without giving any data/info to a centralized authority which is in control.

The thing now is, how many people actually use Bitcoin in this private way, quite a lot of them know how important privacy is, but i'm afraid they will choose convenience over it, and that is the case for a lot for individuals who are newcomers to Bitcoin. Privacy is important for all and sundry, but only a handful of people pay attention to it.

This is why I say Pochettino is an another version of Potter, he keep sign many players and he try to built a new squad.
Lol, this has to be just banter right? Mauricio Pochettino isn't a world class manager like Pep or Mou, but he is definitely better than Graham Potter. I think it is actually too early to give appraisal of Pochettino's performances in Chelsea, he is just two games into the job, and even though Chelsea haven't started the way they would have wanted, there is still quite a lot of time for Pochettino and Chelsea to put things right and start getting the results the fans want.

but still IMHO as a user of Google Chrome I did not faced any issues till now. Why did I not faced any?
I don't know the issues you intended to face, but in case you didn't know Google chrome is a terrrible browser, especially if you are privacy conscious, they steal too much of your data and they won't fail to sell too many ads to you, of which many might be a scam. DuckDuckGo and Firefox are much better browsers to use.
I also never copied Private keys because in Metamask to recover the same account without deleting it we need recovery key and if I will not make a private key then nobody actually could access it. But still there are many other way around to get hold on that.
Metamask is a web/browser extension wallet, thus it is definitely never a safe wallet to use, notwithstanding how safe you think you can use it, it should only prolly be used for a tiny amount of funds.
896  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ledger Live generates different address for each transaction. How does it work? on: August 21, 2023, 08:55:40 PM
Is there any resources I can read or watch that explains how this works?
In simple terms, all you basically need is just the seed phrase which gives you access to all of the addresses on that wallet, in other words, there is no need for you to export the private keys of your wallet, back up only your seed phrase. As for your wallet generating new addresses for you, using the same addresses too many times gives you away, thus it is not the best thing to do if you are privacy conscious, but you can keep the same address if you wish to do so.

I think if Chelsea can't win against Luton Town this weekend, then Pochettino is really under pressure.
Pochettino and Chelsea are under more pressure than they would have loved to be so early on in the season, two matches played and they have scored just two goals, conceded 4, and have only 1 point; that is not the sort of start that the fans would have hoped for. Having said that, Chelsea know that the only option in their next game is a win, and i think the fixture somewhat favors them, they should easily get a win against newly promoted Luton Town on Friday, the game is also in Stamford Bridge, which gives Chelsea more advantage.
898  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin price speculation (BTC/NGN) on: August 21, 2023, 02:28:03 PM
Bitcoin can not be stable, but sometimes it can become less volatile. Before it fell below $28500 recently, the price has been less volatile within $29000 and $30000.
+1, that is a sideway market/period, and quite rightly as you said Bitcoin has been like that for quite some time now before this plunge in the price happened. I am pretty certain day-traders enjoy this sort of movements in the price, either upward or even downward as they can short it, but for long term investors, they will be trying to purchase more coins.
Bitcoin was unable to increased to make investors make profit and it can be discouraging at times.
This will not happen to long term investors, and short term invesors would not want to sell if they are going to do so at a loss, but these things are not set in stone, and people sell when they want to and for their personal reasons too.

Barcelona are about to sign Joao Cancelo officially. They are expected to announce him in a couple of days the most. It is going to be a loan deal for them and there is an option to buy him as well if I'm not mistaken. This signing has been their priority for a long time so it would be great to finalize it while there is a little time left for the end of the transfer window.
Good deal for all the parties involved, City want to get rid of him and they are finally about to, Barcelona will be getting a very talented and experienced footballer and Cancelo will be moving to a team where he can start playing and enjoying football again, win-win for everybody. It was pretty obvious after what happened last season that Pep wasn't going to integrate Cancelo back into the team again.

Having said that, in another news regarding City, Aymeric Laporte is set to leave City for Al-Nassr, it is pretty sad to see things end this way between City and Laporte, but he has had little to no playing time since last season, clubs in Europe were not interested in him, thus Saudi seems like his only option right now, i wish him luck.

Their failure against West Ham is regrettable because their opponent is believed to be easy to beat in this match. But the surprise happened because West ham was able to get full points and beat Chelsea which is inhabited by good quality star players.
I knew this game was going to be tricky for Chelsea, they have far more quality/experienced players than West Ham, but the Hammers are more organized and they stuck to their gameplan throughout the match and that's why they won. Chelsea can continue on their spending spree but they need more organization, the players are not used to playing with each other and more often than not it seems they are either one step ahead or slower than their mates.

Having said that, there is no need for Chelsea to press the panic button yet, they haven't started the season the way they would have liked it, but Mauricio Pochettino still needs time to get used to his players and to get his best starting team; Chelsea should set their targets at a top four finish, i don't think they can win the EPL title.
