I think it will be extremely difficult for Chelsea to progress further in the Uefa Champions League when they play against Borussia Dortmund today. The performance of Chelsea are horrible with the current manager in charge, I guess the home fans of Chelsea might witness another defeat of their team against Borussia Dortmund at the final whistle.
Graham Potter's Chelsea scorecard is really bad. Borussia Dortmund recently competed for the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. After their successful league matches, I am sure they will win against Chelsea that went bad. For Graham Potter, this exam will be a very difficult one. A more difficult match will be waiting for the team that will go to the next round.
If it was when Chelsea was scoring, it wouldn't be a serious issue for Chelsea to get 2 goals. At a time it became worse for Chelsea to the extent that no striker was scoring anymore. It was even James from defence that was getting occasional goals for Chelsea. This is why I am not always pleased when Graham Potter is seen as the total and ultimate cause of Chelsea woes.
Chelsea cannot be ruled out, but my bet is for Dortmund because of their current great form.

It will be the coolest present your friend has received. When he started his journey to know Bitcoin, he immediately got $200 worth of Bitcoin Shards which he never imagined before. If I were your friend, I'd keep it until it's over $200. I will use the money to treat you as a sign of gratitude for the special gift you have given me.
as much as gifting someone Bitcoin is a good idea, not everyone would appreciate it, some persons would prefer you give them Fiat even it means sharing the equivalent into 2, so when you want to gift anyone or anything ensure the benefactor knows duly what they're receiving. Even if it means you taking your time to lecture them on it and be sure of their interest and desire too.
I agree with you totally and if Op still want to gift his friend Bitcoin worth of $200, he should first of all ensure that he teaches his friend about bitcoin and also show his friend how to withdraw his bitcoin to fiat.
Don't try to make him believe he must leave the bitcoin for x amount of years before he will reap it. If it is so, they will not enjoy the gift. Just explain everything to your friend and allow him to make decisions himself.

And sometimes, I just miss to select self-moderated and don’t know how to change it after the topic is created.
...

This has happened to me and I ended up leaving the topic to remain unmoderated. There is always a tendency that one could forget if your consciousness is not there.

Assume that I create a topic which isn't self moderated and you make a post. (You may not want to post in my thread if it's self-moderated). Then I make the topic self-moderated and delete your post.

This should not be a big problem.
The program be written that posts which were made when the topic wasn't self moderated shouldn't be possible to be deleted. The ones which were made after the post became moderated can be deleted.

* Buy more money or income
* Invest More money or capital
Now let's understand the concert money, is a legal tender or recognised transactional exchange documents. It can paper type, coins or digital currency. For any money to increase from example one, there's a need to buy more money, now the idea of buying more money simply to savings and rents from source of income or business involved in. When you keep the policy of savings you're buying ideas of more money which power your future investment.
I don't know if there is a part of the world where money is bought. In my country money is earned. Bought the idea of buying money came to us as the government decided to go cashless due to upcoming elections and other reasons. In my country, cash became scarce and banks stopped paying money. People were using money to buy money in order to have cash.
For example, if you have a certain amount of money in the bank, the POS operators will charge more than 10% of your money to give you fiscal cash

So many people who complain always for unavailability of money, it does not necessarily mean that they don't earn money. But their inability to curtail their expenses is one big reason that they are always in short of money.
For example, if you are a sports person, subscribe to the table TV that shows sports and news only. Chose an internet provide that isn't too data expensive.
You must not change wardrobe everything.
Try to buy food in bulks to save retail cost.
Manage your debit card usage and you may never run into financial crisis again.

Bitcointalk search speed is mainly depends on using the right keywords and it loads faster when you choose the particular board. Banned users posts still has value and removing them will create chaos in the database if I am not wrong and for faster search we have Google which is recommended when we use the more common keywords.

Bitcointalk is not among those websites that loads slower. I don't know from your end, but from my own end, it's pretty fair and I guess it should be same at your own end because we are fetching from the same point.

Talking about deleting or mutilating the data of banned users, I don't think it's wise. This forum is one of the oldest cryptocurrency forums, so it is also an archive to some people who will come here for research.
How will you feel if Satoshi data was deleted before you discovered this forum?

Chelsea is seriously going through a big problem and I don't know where it all emanated from, it's been a very disappointing season for all chelsea fans and supporter, many people are actually accusing their coach for being the course of Chelsea's current failure, meanwhile in an interview, the coach said that Chelsea was already in trouble before he took up the position of a coach for the club.
I really hope they would come out the mess soon enough though.
This is a very poor excuse, even if we assume he is right then his job is to fix the problems Chelsea was going through and improve their performance and the results they were getting, and so far this has not happened despite the very high amount of money Chelsea has spent bringing the players he asked for, so unless he can improve the performance of Chelsea on the short term he is bound to eventually lose the support of the owners and get fired.
I don't blame Potter for the excuses he is giving. I blame the new chelsea owner who feels he can just assign a championship coach from anywhere and give him 5 years contract without giving regards to his Portfollio.since the ownership by Abramohvic, Chelsea has remain a big club that does not joke with it's image, but this current situation has added bad paintings on the club which I don't thing can be undone with Potter remaining as the head coach. Chelsea needs a new coach.
This situation is also the same situation that coaches like Lampard faced when they were the coach of Chelsea. It was as if he will do well when given more time, but as more time was given him, the more confused he was with team.
I think that Graham Potter has also entered into same situation. Potter could be lucky that the new signings could bring him fortune and he will change the narrative in the club.
But if he becomes unlucky, he could end up being sacked for poor performance.

As a coach, Erik Ten Hag has done a great job so far and his performance as a coach is impressive. Compared to other similar coaches, he was able to make a big impact on the team very fast after he joined the team. While many people expected Manchester United to perform even worse after Ronaldo left, Erik Ten Hag performed better than fans expected.

Watching someone kicked ronaldo from the club. I never thought before that the ten hag would be the first and at the same time made the best choice for the club. The termination of ronaldo's contract had a huge impact on the performance of club. Now the players have become more disciplined and ten hag apply some things that I think should be emulated by other clubs. Ten Hag slowly but surely transforms United into a new form. It really reminded me of United during the Ferguson era.

Erik ten hang did a great work in Manchester and he is not tired yet. What surprises me most was the audacity he had to bench Ronaldo and penalised him when he misbehaved. Many coaches would continue to pamper Ronaldo even whe  he didn't join preseason and he also did not integrate with the team.
I could remember the statement of Ole when Ronaldo first arrived. He said Ronaldo must always play in as much as he is fit. But this was not the case of Erik ten hang.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 03, 2023, 11:35:08 PM
Liverpool and Manchester United is a match that is really worth waiting for.
Both are still in very good condition with good momentum. but looking at the current odds, I actually think Liverpool's advantage is only at Anfield this time because looking at the odds, it's not much different.
Even though Liverpool are still slightly favored, I think being at Manchester United now with 2.80 is still very tempting.


Liverpool is not in good form as much as Manchester United is. Liverpool is not favoured because they are in a better form. It is maybe because of the intimidation that is always found in the Anfield by the Liverpool fans.
But Erik ten Hag has released a statement saying that we have same football anywhere and the same measurement of field, so there is nothing to fear about the football. As I read that statement by Manchester United, I became confident that Manchester United boys will approach the song with confidence.
1151  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Risks to take in marriage on: March 02, 2023, 08:30:31 PM
All I know is that marriage is hard and we should not go into it if we know that we do not have the power or the strength to endure as much as we can. Everything about marriage is endurance so we need to make sure that we are fully ready to accept whatever we see before we think of going into marriage. Some persons enters marriage without you understanding.

This is wrong. Marriage is not a war, you do not need power or strength to be in a marriage, unless you are planning to kill.yoir spouse.
Again, marriage is not all about endurance. Don't go into marriage to endure rubbish. When your spouse puts up annoying character, call their attention to it and forgive them. When they do same again, forgive them for the second time and warn them that it will be the last. If they try it again, consider divorce. The most important thing to you should be peace of mind and not to endure rubbish in the name of marriage.
1152  Economy / Economics / Re: Benefit from Higher Education? on: March 02, 2023, 08:17:57 PM
I wonder if higher education will help for entrepreneurship?
I am more interested in how much theory will help in this, because during a long study we do not get practice, this will be possible only when we start doing business, until that moment we will not be able to know how much it will help us.

This can help us if we need a license, but in some cases it can be obtained without a higher education.

Statistically, 95% of entrepreneurs have a bachelor's degree or higher and I wonder, for those of you who are involved in entrepreneurship, how useful was higher education for you?
Entrepreneurship is more of practical than theory. Any successful entrepreneur did not learn such in the higher institution.
What the  higher institution does is to refine the mind of the young enterprenue and set them in the right direction?
Entrepreneur is more of mindset from childhood and ability to take risk.

so in order to be successful in your entrepreneural adventure, you need to add a part of knowledge from the high institution and what you have inbuilt in you as acquired by your mindset or your environment.

What do you plan to do?
###  if after this elections, Nigeria still remains the same, despite the change of government. Do you plan on leaving the country, do you plan on staying and manage it anyway

### if a new government is elected and then everything becomes good, do you plan on staying and enjoy the benefits of the new government, a new Nigeria.

One thing for change of government be say, the new government go just try do something first for the next few months. Dem go try to implement their proposals and for the point this country be now, I believe say the new government must do better than what we have now.
Even if say na Atiku or Obi been win, I dey expect say things go change for better.
If me wan japa, no be because say country easy or hard go make me japa. Na decision for clear eyes.
1154  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: March 01, 2023, 05:10:13 PM
When inflation occurs, businesses will also suffer heavy losses, so the possibility of a salary increase is very unlikely. To deal with inflation, with the cost of living rising, do not expect government or company policies to raise wages, instead, find your own way. Finding myself some other source of income, doing more than usual, that's what I'm doing to get through this tough time. I know the government needs to be accountable to the people, but I don't want to sit there waiting for them and do nothing.
I think it is "possible" that the salary will go up, but the purchasing power of it will not. Meaning, if you are making 1000 dollars, and can buy 1000 breads with it, tomorrow your salary could go up to 1100 dollars because of inflation, but then you can buy 950 breads with it because price of bread went up. Now in this case your salary "went up", but as you can see it actually dropped down in purchasing power.

Rest of it I agree with, you should be looking for either an extra income, a good side job that could make you good enough money, or you could what I did, I used to make a lot less, then I found my current job and I am getting paid very well, I am basically rich in my nation.

A few years ago, $50 is already enough to buy groceries and other basic needs but these days $100 in our country could only buy a few things. The sad part is, our necessities including our bills are continuously increasing but our salaries remain the same.
Having a single job indeed will never be enough for us to provide our family with a comfortable living. If we want to sustain everything and have enough funds to save and invest, we must find other side jobs. Being contented and confident with our current job will not work in the long run anymore. As inflation increases, we must also double our energy to grind harder.
Inflation is global. I have taken my time to go through the post of so many people in this trade and everyone is pointing out how the products and services in their different countries has almost trippled.
I also understand that even if inflation is global. It is also subjective because it is a fair percentage in some countries than in some countries and the living expenses in some countries are higher than in other countries. And even the salary structures of some countries are higher than that of the other.

Op, you should have included links to the profile instead of picture. I spent most of my time reading the write up in the picture which was not even the main emphasis.

Admin can also just edit out the username that made the post on request minus necessarily deleting the account like it is the case with this thread that was made not so long ago --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246208

The user who made that thread is still an active member of the community. Anonymous only appears in that thread.

I think the OP of the link you provided is Lauda. I may not be so sure but Lauda happens to be the only comment "reserve#2". In the forum the topic creator always type reserve after creating a topic. But I am confused because the first reply that said #reserve2 should be Anonymous also.

What type of situation can I face to ask the admin to turn my account to Anonymous?

Good day everyone. When a friend told me how he makes money from bounties, I joined Bitcointalk and have solely participated in bounties ever since. I've been in bounty for a while, and during that time I've heard and read some topics about how unproductive and time-wasting they are here. However, I stayed because I wanted to confirm and see it for myself, and from what I saw and experienced, I realized how unproductive and time-wasting they are.
I ultimately made the decision to make amends and resolved to be more engaged with other forum sections to learn more about it and, ideally, discover Bitcoin. I'm hoping I still have time to start over and prove myself in this place. I need guidance
Information is very powerful because if you are not informed some good opportunities might be passing you by even when the opportunity is in your neighborhood.
You could be in this very forum for a very long time and yet you would not have the necessary information, only if you concentrate your attention in one particular part of the forum.
It is nice that you have realised how long you have wasted your time in the Bounty, but this is a correct time rebuild.

Yet some people are making it from the Bounty, but how they do it is what I don't know.

After the winner is announced, there will serious court cases.

Having said that, definitely most of the other political parties would go to court, but imo na waste of time, our judiciary they useless, and if person fit buy INEC,

Dunno for how long Chelsea will act like a clown. It is an embarrassment for their fans. Some of them even threatened the coach which reflects how bad the situation there and it could degenerate further.
Today they lost with 2-0 vs Spurs, 2 successive defeats and 6 matches without a win. Their defeats outnumbered their victory Lips sealed
Next match vs Leeds, hopefully they could win this time..
I was not surprised that Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspur.
This is because Tottenham is not a small club. They have good strikers and players in the club. I already know that Chelsea will continue to struggle for some months before they will come back to their normal good form and that will be by next season.

Meanwhile, I saw a meme that said that the last time Chelsea won match was as far back as the Year 2022  Grin
1159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The answer is here on: February 25, 2023, 06:39:57 PM
I'm not sure if Satoshi's motivation in creating Bitcoin were the financial crises that hit the world. He/she/they might have seen the shortcomings of fiat currency and the system that nurtures it, but Satoshi actually took off from the past creations of those who attempted to create a digital currency. To a certain extent, Bitcoin is an amalgamation of all those, together with Satoshi's own contributions.

As against Op, I do not think that the major reason why Satoshi created Bitcoin was to solve financial problems. Although the 2008 financial collapse was a motivation. But in the Bitcoin whitepaper it is stated that Satoshi wanted freedom more than richness. He wanted Bitcoin as an alternative decentralized finance for the world and I think the purpose is on course. It is only the volatility of bitcoin that makes it become more of an investment asset.

Whoever has money needs more. How do you invest in Bitcoin if you have no money? You need to invest some money first where start trading with few or small amount of bitcoins. If you invest at the right time, it is definitely possible to make a profit. Because in the future Bitcoin will advance by 3 steps in 2024 from the current price.  So if you want to own some amount of money then definitely start investing bitcoins little by little. If you want Bitcoin you can hold it for long term.
It takes money to make money and that is why people that has money make more money than people that have never had money before.

An investment of 10,000 dollars is supposed to work more than an investment of $1000 in a normal circumstances and he that earns 10000 dollars monthly can easily make an investment of 5000 dollars, but he that earns $1000 monthly cannot make an investment of 5000 dollars. This is why bitcoin make the Rich to become richer. Apart from those that invested in early stage of Bitcoin who got x1000
