If you send a newbie to go do their own research, it should be for self verification sake, that is to verify the information you have given to them, and also in a bid to help them adopt the culture of always verifying the information they receive from anyone by doing their own research. It will not be good to send a newbie who is clearly interested in bitcoins to go find out the information about it themselves when you are aware that there are many scammers and fake information on the internet about bitcoins. If you do not have the time for it, just try to schedule a time for it, and also caution them about taking any information they receive from another source as serious or true without verification.

The only advantage is they would be able to worry less when they loose money trading because they are already used to the concept of loosing money. It may also feel different because while gambling involves having fun and loosing money, there is no fun loosing money to trading.

A gambler can be a good trader if they take the time to learn to trade properly either by themselves or preferably from experts with more experience than them.

No Ben White and No Martin Ødegaard in the game, I did not expect much from Havertz who has barely been able to fill into the shoes of Martin Ødegaard and do for Arsenal what Martin Ødegaard does for us.

No James Maddison to thread in neat passes for Son to Chase.

Newcastle players have had a very busy past few weeks with the many tough games they have had to play both in the premier league and cha,pions league. They looked Fatigued to me.

It cannot be my Arsenal you Chelsh*t supporter

If you saw the Arsenal against Manchester City game, you will see how close the defense of the both teams were. Even Doku who is very fast and good in 1v1 situations could not complete a dribble.

He played for 12 mins, three minutes less I blame the coach, maybe he should not have played Estupinan when they were already two goals ahead and could have managed without him since he was just new from injuries.

It is no concern of mine though, I had him before and earned me some good points in some GW, but I am not going back to him even if he recovers.

We are in urgent need of another player to share the role with Saka so he can rest more often since he is becoming a target for defenders and now more likely to get injured. Arteta needs to get another player in the next window.

Knowledge and mastery of both analytical methods will greatly increase a traders chances of success. A trader who focuses on technical analysis will have results but not as good and consistent as it would have been had they known fundamental analysis. A trader who focuses on Fundamental analysis alone and not technical analysis will even make greater mistakes and errors in trading that will lead to losses. I personally feel that  both are necessary to know, but technical analysis is the most important. You can place a trade by just technically analyzing the charts and profit from the trade better than when you only rely on news and events to make a trade.

What they mean is that they want to earn enough money not to concern themselves with the price of anything they like because they can afford it and any other luxury that they desire.

Very rich people do not always buy things because it is worth the price, they buy things because they first like it.

You can sell a plain white t-shirt to a rich man at a price different from what you will sell to someone in a lower financial class. To the rich person, they may not care about the cost because they really like the T-shirt and need it, but a person who is not so rich will think twice and want to try to get something cheaper if he perceives that the T-shirt is too expensive for him.

Rich people who are very calculative in spending are the rich people who worked hard and hustled to be where they are, rich people who were born into wealth calculate less because they have no idea what it means to struggle.

I stay in a country with very bad power supply, unstable and unpredictable at the same time. The cost of electricity has not reduced under these conditions, but in fact has increased in price, the cost of gasoline and diesel to even run generators is very high right now too because the subsidy that the government pays for these products has been withdrawn. To have constant and a steady supply of electricity, you have to likely operate off grid with like solar panels, and that will cost a lot to set up.

A stable and cheap source of power should amongst the first considerations of someone who wants to start mining bitcoins.

If you create something new, and form a business around marketing that thing, within a ten year window, if that product or new creation is not selling, it is usually seen as a failure. Many people see bitcoin like that and so because bitcoin has been in existence for more than ten years, they consider bitcoin a failure. It is a wrong impression they have about bitcoins because asides treating bitcoin as a teen, bitcoin is something that is revolutionizing, and totally against the long financial systems that took time to establish. We should not expect it to be very successful at once when it was not created by the government. We should however celebrate the little successes that it is achieving because it is all accumulating to something huge.

There have been a few erroneous decisions influenced by VAR, some for which there was apology, the others no apology. For that purpose, and people now knowing how possible that is, there is now little believe in the decisions second checked by VAR. Liverpool supporters will talk about why they do not think their last minute goal should not have been canceled, but the decision did not take the referee time to decide, so if analyzed by professionals, it should be the right decision. Liverpool is one of the team that people expect should win this Europa competition and give Sevilla a challenge for it, this loss to Toulouse which was unexpected by them is a reminder to always take every game seriously regardless of the team they play in this competition.

Real and core gamblers careless about the price of Bitcoin when they want to gamble, their only concern is if they have the bitcoins to gamble with. If they have bitcoins to fund their account with, they are good to go. The passive gamblers, that is people who gamble less often like me will be concerned about the price of bitcoins because we are not used to loosing to gambling and any bitcoin we loose during a time when bitcoin is performing well will hurt very much.

The cost of a standard meal in my country depends on where you are having the meal, which is your location. So I will give cost for comparison under a well packaged restaurant where you can buy and eat your food there, and then a road side food vendor, where you just buy your food and take it home.

I will use our popular menu white rice and Chicken Tomato stew, spaghetti and then Beans, soft drinks which are common meals and drinks in the menu of the well packaged restaurants and the road side vendors.

Well Packaged Restaurant
Cost of a plate of white rice and Chicken Tomato stew - $6.23
Cost of a plate of Spaghetti and a protein of your choice - $6.23
Cost of a plate of Beans - $1.12 per portion, the more portions you need, the more the price.
Cost of soft drink - $1.25

If someone buys food three times daily for 30 days (3 x $6.23 x 30), that is a total of $560.7 which means that you have to be earning way more than the minimum wage to afford three meals a day for thirty days in a well packaged restaurants.

Road side food vendor
Cost of a plate of white rice and Chicken Tomato stew - $1.25
Cost of a plate of Spaghetti and a protein of your choice - $1.25
Cost of a plate of Beans - $0.37 for a small size, price increases if you want more.
Cost of soft drink - $0.31

If someone buys food three times daily for 30 days (3 x $1.25 x 30), that is a total of $112.5, which is above the minimum wage, so someone who earns the minimum wage or less will not be able to afford three meals per day for days, they will have to starve on some days.

Minimum wage as at 1st September 2023 was increased officially from $41.10 to $80.95 on paper, but some people are still receiving the old rates of $41.10 and some even less than that because some employers do not care about minimum wage.

People are not on the same level financially, so this should not be too surprising. The salary that someone is okay with receiving is same amount of money someone somewhere gives out to charity, or spends partying, all fingers will never be equal.

For the person in the story who was surprised seeing what he earns on a perfume bottle, he should take it as a motivation to try to earn more and not something depressing.

In this life, you only get the things you want, and will get more if you want more. It is possible to earn whatever salary you deserve if you work for it. People who are earning the minimum wage and even less, and are okay with what they earn will never earn more. If they want more and work to that target, they will get more. This is why people should always set high target for themselves in life, and never get too content with their position in life that they stop thriving to be better and do better.

Congratulation @OP and Happy married life. This is a good testimony on how the volatility of bitcoin has profited an investor who had a target. I say you deserve to make profit from bitcoins because of the consistent behavior you have developed of investing in cryptocurrency.

 Two things to note from your testimony.

- Your investment in bitcoins is what made you profit enough to consider getting married since you could afford the cost, not your investment in altcoins.

- You invested enough in bitcoins to make good profit from it, not just small small money. As newbie investors, you have to be aggressive in your approach to invest in bitcoins because you are actually late investing to follow the advice of "take things easy". To benefit well from the halving, invest heavily in bitcoins if you have the financial opportunity to.

I never write off Sevilla, but it was a masterclass from Arsenal yesterday against them. Sevilla even with how aggressive they play could not stop Arsenal from scoring in the first half and second. I was a bit worried with no Odegaard, No Nketiah due to injuries, but we still were able to maintain the pressure we put on Sevilla. Martinelli had a feast with Juanlu in RB for Sevilla, Martinelli won most of the 1v1 situations he had against him, and that strongly increased Arsenal's chances. 

Saliba is really a Rolls Royce, he is just too good for his age.

I worry for Saka though, he is now a target to most defenders, and usually roughly marked. He is not an injury prone player, but with the level of tackles he is receiving, I hope things don't go sideways for him.

I learnt not to react too quickly whenever there is an injury scare for any of my players. I was not surprised to see Haaland play in their Champions league game yesterday and he even scored two goals that ensured that Manchester City qualify for the next round.

Manchester City's GW12 fixture is against Chelsea, and Chelsea have so far this season shown to play well against big teams, and Haaland on the other hand is not a very reliable player when Manchester City play big teams  although he scored against Manchester United. It is possible that Haaland blanks in the game against Chelsea if the Defenders can do a great job of cutting the supply away from him like Arsenal were able to successfully do.

In that Manchester City's visit to the bridge this coming GW, Cole Palmer will also be in focus.

Traders always loose money, not just crypto traders, but also forex traders. Loss of capital in trading is not peculiar to bitcoins alone.


To be a trader, you have be prepared and be ready for the losses. There is no sure strategy to ensure that you never loose, each strategy is to reduce losses to the barest minimum and also the frequency of losses, so you make more profit than losses.

Your past is some people's present, so some people are currently as misinformed and have doubts like you were just some time ago. Some people are not lucky enough and the first people they come across are people who do give them the correct information concerning bitcoins and that is what they then carry along. Misinformation has made many people not want to hear about investment in bitcoins and the bad thing is only a few of the misinformed will get to find out later that they had the wrong information.

You are a F*cking genius! I am blown away by the level of confidence that would have required to put all 10 stakes on Shakhtar against Barcelona. Congratulations on the plenty points won. You are a real gambler.

My first pick did not go as expected, Newcastle should have won Dortmund, but they were looking worn out, ,maybe from the stress of playing Arsenal. Dortmund were looking sharper from kick off, and they deserved the win.
