I'm feeling very positive about Manchester United's win against Crystal Palace on this match week. I also remember their previous matchup in which Manchester United could have even lost the match. They could have won there if they had their usual scoring performance. I really liked their big effort against Arsenal anyway later on. This seemed promising for this match as well. In Old Trafford we watch a far different Manchester United. They are one of the strongest home teams currently as you know - 7W 1D 1L.

Here in this stadium I don't expect Crystal Palace to be much effective. Manchester United should have the control in their hands and finish them off.
I also agree. Manchester United have the ability to beat Manchester City. Since Manchester United lost their previous match, they will want to give their best to beat City in this match.

In the last meeting between these two clubs, Crsytal Palace escaped being beaten by Manchester United. This time around they may not escape it. Even though Crystal Palace will put up a good fight as usual. But Manchester United will be more resilient and formidable in the midfield against Palace.
But in England nothing is too sure, however the Erik Ten Hag guys are on a good form.
1222  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Breaking news on Naira note on: January 29, 2023, 07:23:42 PM

Yes but not for people who understand the working of the system. It is a good news because the date has been extended but what about the new note. The issue in the country is not the extension of of depositing deadline date but the circulation of the new Naira banknotes. The deadline can still be the on Tuesday if the new Naira banknotes is fully in circulation, people will meet up to deposit their old note and take the new note. But if the extension is till September and the new note is not available, the same things (cry, suffering and others) will still happen so there is no need for Happiness. If the new note is not available before the next deadline, the cry will be worst than this. That is, you will still request for another extension again.

The problem will have in this switch to new currency saga is the availability of the new notes in circulation. With the rumors I heard some from reliable sources mostly bankers this new notes have actually been held in bank commercial banks after it has been disbursed my the Apex bank. So you see it is not entirely their fault. When this commercial were asked some claimed that the old notes weren’t returned or rather when they return it this people would like to go home again with bunch of the new notes. The commercial banks even claimed that this pressure on them to return it this week has produced positive reports. What I take is if this old notes aren’t return and the new notes are given out excessively it defeats the sole purpose of this whole redesign process which is to have more than 70% of the paper money in banks. The only thing the CBN can do to reduce this pressure is to mount pressure on this banks to give out more new notes for this next 10 days and we will know how it goes

All these permutations na stories. This country is dead and buried in corruption. Incase you don't know the story behind the old and new naira circulation. Listen!
Commercial banks have used the new Naira notes given to them to give politicians who came with old money and the politicians are no hoarding it for election and that is why the new notes are scarce on arrival.

Mr. A can be in Legendary rank with Mr. B. But Mr. Having upto 5,000 merits while Mr. B has 1023 merits will likely show that Mr A contributes meaningfully than Mr. B. If this continue to work, what then is the need of adding another rank?
With this logic, there might be no need for any ranks at all. A user with 500 merits is assumed to contribute better than one with 10 (not always),

Not always. I believe the logic is reasonable to this context because the only major contributor to rank up is merit. The activity is constant. If we both remain active in the forum for 14days we get same number of activities but we cannot same amount of merits.
So after legendary rank where activities and merits no longer contribute to rank up as there is no rank up, the value of merits is expressively seen and felt as the higher number of merits apart from merit airdropped is seen as the better contributor.

The ranking system has lasted for so long and yet is is not boring. Do you really know why it is not boring?
It is because of the introduction of the merit system. The merit system makes the ranking still remain valid.
Mr. A can be in Legendary rank with Mr. B. But Mr. Having upto 5,000 merits while Mr. B has 1023 merits will likely show that Mr A contributes meaningfully than Mr. B. If this continue to work, what then is the need of adding another rank?

i have been ban because of plagiarism and spamming and since that i have being restricted not to participate for posting in bitcointalk and that make me Lose weight

After reading this part of your ban appeal, I have the feelings that you don't know the reason why you were banned. Is it possible that you are banned for plagiarism and spamming the same time?
Did the admin or moderator tell you that you were banned because of plagiarism and spamming?
Could it be that you feel you have plagiarised unknowingly?

I have read where people say about auto ban and it looks as if only a moderator will know the type of ban.
But if you were banned because of spamming, I think you have a good chance of getting your account back because I have checked your history and it doesn't look like you were spamming recently.

WHAT IS YOU CURRENT BTC MINDSET:
2023 is the year I found my confidence in bitcoin as I have not check the price of Bitcoin for the past 80 hours, since I am now fully into long term holding giving myself, a timeframe of 2-3 years before looking back on the price but what I will do is to accumulate more Bitcoin as chances present itself.

Who else have my kind of mindset let discussed welcome to the future Bitcoin holders!

I don't think I can do without checking the price of bitcoin. I don't know if it's an addiction or it is normal. Even when I am investing for a long term purpose I can't just live complete a day without checking bitcoin price.
Even if it is not for my investment, but for the general well being of the market I always care about the Bitcoin price and I check it as often as I have my mobile phone that is internet enabled.
1227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin always shames social media experts. on: January 28, 2023, 07:39:42 PM
Bitcoin is proving to be highly unpredictable. So many experts do not get it right. Only a few of them gets to approximate in prediction. The nature of the crypto market has changed to large magnitude. When the industry is new, people could easily predict. But today, many factors are affecting such accurate prediction which includes trade volume, market cap, pump and dump, fud, whales etc.
So, if it will be difficult for bitcoin experts to get it right is it common social influencers that will get it right always?
1228  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Approximately 384 Days until the next Bitcoin halving on: January 27, 2023, 04:43:56 PM
Since the last cycle was cut short abruptly and compared to previous cycles that we had was a tiny rise, I no longer thing the 4-year cycle is a solid trend at this point even though we may start seeing another cycle shape up in the future.
For now there are a lot of other events in the world that are affecting the global economy hence affecting bitcoin price which in my opinion are more important to watch than the halving.

What you said could happen after this halving we are expecting. But for now the wave is still pushing and this year halving has been preached more than other ones. That is why the pumping will not fail. The hype is high and everyone is expecting it.

1230  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reason why I will never help anyone to invest in crypto on: January 27, 2023, 03:52:08 PM
That's why I never give my relatives or friends any investment advice. Many people say we should share bitcoin with those around us, that's how we make bitcoin more popular as well as help others have a good life like us know about bitcoin. But as an investment, there is always a risk, just because we make a profit doesn't mean that others will also make a profit. Investing is a battle in which there will be winners and losers, even we ourselves are not sure that we are the winner, so recommending to others is like bringing disaster to the body.

This is a very thoughtful reply to the post. Investment in cryptocurrency is like a battle, many lose and many wins. Many atimes we lose while thinking that we win. So there is no guarantee and it is not something that we will introduce people and give then the confidence of winning.

To tell you how difficult it is here. Here is the only place someone will give you advice finish and tell you that he didn't give you advice, that you should do your own research. It is risky here

The truth is that Graham Potter also contribute to the problem of Chelsea,  a good coach should be able to manage the kind of player Chelsea has, atleast some level of good performance is supposed to be seen in the players. I think the strategies he uses as a coach is not working for the team. Chelsea already have players but lack a quality coach that can bring out best from the players .

I would agree with you on this. The coach also has a part to play(probably more)in the level of performance his team displays on the field of play.

Chelsea already has some of the finest players in the world and needs someone who is able and capable to see and bring out the potentials buried deep inside each player. Along with that, formulation of new strategies using the potentials of his players is also key and something the coach ought to consider.


No coach will be able to do great things when his defence and midfield is in shambles. You may think that Chelsea is signing players that they are supposed to be performing well. Ask yourself how many steady defenders are there apart from Silva. Also ask yourself how many great defensive midfielder has Chelsea since Kante is injures. If you will be fair, Potter has never gotten the best lines of defence and midfield to perform.

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.
Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary. They have paid him around 550 M€ for a 5 year contract, that are 110 M€ per year, which is probably 5 times more than other world class players are earning. That was the reason why Barcelona has such extremely high debts now and is still in danger of going bankrupt.
Messi could have stayed back then but of course for a salary that would have only been a fraction of the old one. So it was not like he was forced to leave or something. He just wanted to continue to earn ridiculously high amounts of money and he could do that PSG.

I have already said it, the major concern of players is to continue to earn highly ridiculous amount of money. I first asked this question that if Messi loved Barcelona that much, why not take some pay cut.
The same thing happened to Ronaldo. When the bid from Saudi came, I told people that Ronaldo will go for the money but they said that Ronaldo will like to play only in Europe and possibly in the Champions league. But today we have seen where Ronaldo is.

Tomorrow Arsenal will play against Manchester City in the FA Cup match which of course this will be very interesting, because if Arsenal manage to beat Manchester City in this match then that is an extraordinary achievement. Because if Arsenal win this match then Arsenal have managed to beat two Manchesters in a row, and maybe that will be a historical record as well.
I hope that a winning result for Arsenal can happen in this match, because of course it will be the perfect result for Arsenal in this season and in this moment.

Arsenal may not be able to win Manchester City because Guardiola knows too well that he is loosing the Premier League title to Arsenal. I expect him to feature stronger legs in order to eliminate Arsenal from FA Cup.
If they lose out to Arsenal in Fa Cup, they may also lose out to Arsenal in the main league which will be very abnormal.
1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 26, 2023, 06:04:19 PM
The two clubs i have so much concerns for this season is Asernal and Barcelona, because both clubs have really improved in their performance this season, and what can stabd against their success is their meeting with stronger teams e.g Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the La liga and Asernal vs Manchester city in the premiere league, this are the two clubs that i see that will stop this trending young club from reaching their goal in this season.
But if Barcelona is able to beat or draw with real madrid and Asersnal record same result against man city that will be a break through for both clubs.
In terms of improvement or development, Arsenal did it more than Barcelona. But if Barcelona meets Real Madrid they have much chances of surviving than when Arsenal meets Manchester City. This is because Manchester City is very hot and even hotter than Real Madrid. Last season Real Madrid won the champions league but Manchester City was crowned the Champions League team of the Year.
The men of Barcelona are stronger and faster.

The fact that Fulham can no longer be underestimated, because even though Fulham is still losing by a stronger team, but in reality, Fulham can provide tough resistance for the favorite teams. But when Fulham plays against a team that we can say has qualities that are not much different, then at this moment I'm sure Fulham can guarantee a good result whether it's a win or a draw.
Also for the next match in the English Premier League Fulham will play against Chelsea, and with the confidence as I said, then I'm sure Fulham will not lose in the next match against Chelsea.

I don't even understand why Fulham became a team to be feared in English Premier League. Their recent good form is just surprising to me. As it stands now, any team that wants to face Fulham must be prepared and ready for battle.
If Fulham can maintain this momentum, we will not be surprised to see them in the Europa this season. Everything is possible

I don't see such high-level players in Fulham's roster, but this year, they showed an excellent example of effort, pushing each team to a level.  If they get the position to go to the European cups in the premier league, they will gain a great reputation.  They also lost in the Tottenham game, but they tried well.  They are no longer as easy as they used to be.
thats something that is becoming common in the premier league. The teams that were so called small teams are now stepping up their game. Fulham is good example and they have really showed that even with little star players they can still play very well as a team and compete for a place in the top four. It will be very interesting to see fulham play European competition next season and am hoping they keep up the good form despite the loss to Tottenham.

That is becoming common truly. If you check out some average clubs in England they are no longer average clubs. They are either spoiling the winning of big clubs or projecting themselves. Clubs like Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton, Crystal palace and many of them are putting in much pressure to dis arrange the arrangement of the structure. I am expecting more wonders from these teams.

The cost of living in my country is so high that we no longer complain about it anymore. We try to just survive. To keep our heads above water for the next 36days when we will take to the polls to vote out the bad leaders that have brought untold and unbearable hardship to the common man and woman while they take the wealth of the nation to abroad and stash it foreign bank accounts.

Can you take your time and compare the rate of living in our country to what is posted in the OP.
Before now we used to buy petrol at $0.22 but now there is hike we buy at $0.44 which is still cheaper than $2.1 that they buy. Everything is just relative, the inflation we see is relative and people pay huge task in their countries but in our countries we can escape task because of the weak system of tax enforcement.
No country is heaven

It's like it's been a while I followed this page or thread. I was surprised when Trossard was introduced today from Arsenal. I was like what really happened to Brighton.
It was then I discovered that it's been a while I was here.

Manchester united new guy Weghorst was honestly not in the Manchester United football mood to help the club. He is pushing me to make bad judgment of him

Today quite exciting match occurred between Arsenal and Manchester, the 3-2 victory further solidified Arsenal position at the top of the English league standings with 50 points, the appearance of The Gunners troops was indeed quite extraordinary despite getting great resistance from Manchester and I think Arsenal mentality has now shown winning mentality, Arsenal winning goal in the last minute was quite dramatic and fortunately for Arsenal the goal was legalized after having made Arsenal's fans stop breathing for a moment due to checking Var Grin.

I blame ETH for Manchester United loss. It was obvious that little Garnacho was supposed to be introduced to replace Anthony. This would make Garnacho to operate from left wing and Rashford from right wing and if possible sub Weghorst  for Elenga. This would still have mounted more pressure on Arsenal. Instead he decided to choke the defence with midfielders which gave Arsenal the opportunity to pressure the team more.
