The Bitcoins pizza day celebration only reminds me that we should never write off anything or any coin, 10,000 whole bitcoin wasn’t even up to 50 dollars so I don’t blame the buyer of the pizza, many people are so quick to judge him even when we all know then only very few people trusted the future outcome of Bitcoin and crypto-currency and virtually no one is even talking about the buyer, what if he had also sold the same Bitcoin almost immediately? This reminds us that patient is very important if we want to make it in Crypto-currency
Na wetin I dey see for that Lazlo and Bitcoin pizza saga, no be very honest, the man no make any mistake at all. Na based on the value of bitcoin then. For instance, my weekly Roobet money na $40 in bitcoin, I fit decide to use the $40 bitcoin to buy barbecue fish for Mayorah hotel here wey I dey. By 2035 bitcoin fit reach $500k dollars, person go begin blame me say I make mistakes to use $40 worth of bitcoin to buy fish because I know believe the bitcoin.
The man sef no dey regret him actions. Even the person wey sell the pizza give him fit don blow the bitcoin the next week sef

Someone should please confirm this information I saw on Facebook, before I could get the page name the blue app has refreshed. The information is about Mbappe and psg. They said the flooding thing was agreed between Mbappe and Psg, that:
1. Mbappe will receive €300M signing bonus
2. €100M yearly salary after tax.
3. He will help decide the coach
4. He will have a say on the sporting director
5. He can approve signings and sales.

PLEASE HOW TRUE IS THIS?
I am so surprised.

My prayer just goes to Manchester United, I don't really want them to go Europa conference league. Manchester United is too big for that.
Yeah, it's a bit strange to see Man United competing in the UEFA Europa Conference League, however, it could really happen if Man United can't win against Crystal Palace, while West Ham can beat Brighton. Even Ronaldo reportedly will not be able to play because of injury problems, and I think this will affect Man United's performance.

The Premier League this season is really competitive. The determination of which team will be the champion and which team will play in the Champions League and Europa League can only be known after the season ends.
Yea, it is quite challenging for Manchester United to find themselves in such a critical situation. We all know what Crystal Palace can do. Those guys, especially Wilfred Zaha can spoil the day for Manchester United. It is very much possible. When I read that Ronaldo will be absent in this match I pittied Manchester United the more. All the guys at the front are too lazy to chase the ball. If you are observant,  at every Manchester United match, you will always see Ronaldo waving and shouting at the guys to come forward and chase the ball. Apart from Ronaldo, Cavani and the small Elanga, every other forwards in Manchester United are not smart and vibrant with the ball. Rashford with his magic feet is declining steadily. Sancho who initially complained about the slow pace of the club is joining the rest.
I wish Manchester United can get ride of these crop of lazy over paid players and get vibrant players that are passionate and ready to sacrifice.

The problem with Aston Villa is that they have already solved all their tournament tasks. I wonder if Liverpool are funding a good game from Aston Villa in this game? I heard that before such situations happened when one team paid a bonus to another for taking points from competitors. I don't know if it's allowed now as it's a slippery topic.

Yeah possible that they might get some bonus but these things are just speculations since its baseless you know. Doesn't have to be in money form and can be in form of favour type as well. But anyway this things doesn't come out public, it just goes underneath the public seal with veil on it. Very much possible that they do that, since things are out of control so pay someone or call in as a favor to the opponents against them.

Wonder if there is something going on with Arsenal-Norwich too  Roll Eyes Cheesy
Will it make any difference? The truth of the matter is that the EPL title is Manchester City.  Whether Liverpool pays money, bonus or nay kind of favour to Aston Villa, will it eradicate the fact that Aston villa is no match to Manchester City?
No amout of motivation will make Aston villa defeat Manchester City.
Even Gerald that is Liverpool's legend knows he cannot do it. Even if Manchester City had to play with one Man down, they will still beat Aston Villa.
My prayer just goes to Manchester United, I don't really want them to go Europa conference league. Manchester United is too big for that.

Nigeria CBN will are always full of stupid surprises. Read these:

Topic: CBN to stop circulation of Naira note

To avoid myself of repetition, let me quote the two most important part of the news again

The Delta State Branch Controller of CBN, Mr Godwin Okafor, stated this on Friday at the popular Ogbogonogo market during the market sensitisation on e-Naira, urged market men and women to key into CBN policy.

He said, “We are here at the market today to sensitise the market people to the use of e-Naira. It is fully backed by CBN unlike the Bitcoin that has no legal backing.”
That 70 years old man, him no fit make him statement without involving or demarketing bitcoin? Dem no dey use dem head well, I no know whether dem get adviser's sef. Bitcoin na the beta tool dem for use market e-naira. Yes, maybe because nobody don update them. The best statement he would have made is "we are here at the market today to sensitise the market people to the use of e-Naira. It is a cryptocurrencyjust like Bitcoin, but e-naira has legal backing". Simple, it will then make people who missed bitcoin opportunity to embrace the e-naira and the same time not offend the bitcoin enthusiasts who know the real truth about the e-naira.

I don't think this is Arsenal and Tottenham having to fight for one remaining ticket to the Champions League. with a very small difference between the two points. Two consecutive defeats to be the cause. Arsenal lost to Tottenham 0-3, then continued to lose to Newcastle United 0-2. ah what happened to arsenal Sad . Arsenal must win the next match and hope Tottenham will lose in order to qualify for the Champions League.
Premier League this season, many of my predictions were wrong. and I made a lot of prediction mistakes especially for arsenal.
I never trusted Arsenal. They started the league in bad shape and many didn’t expect to see them in top 4 but things turned around for them and they came to the top 4. But deep in me I know Arsenal cannot do well in Champions league.
Personally I would like Tottenham to complete the spot than Arsenal. I trust Conte and his men more than Arteta and his men. Arsenal can lose a match you expect them to win convincingly. Just the match against Newcastle is am example.
Maybe next week then will try better and they could be lucky.

I still feel confident about the thing that we are going to see Mbappe at Real Madrid next season. Interestingly, he is still thinking about his options now but I don't expect him to decide to stay and play for his current team for at least one more season. PSG are still a hopeless case about winning the Champions League while Real Madrid are much better about it. Mbappe can play for them so many years and become even a Real Madrid legend too.
Whole this is your thought and I looks cool. If I am to be in Mbappe's shoes, I will stay in PSG for two more seasons. After all Mbappe is still young, after two years, Real Madrid will still come for him.
Mbappe should spend more time in PSG to have the record of the world most paid player. What is the essence of the football, is it not to make money? If I were him, I will not make that mistake of leaving psg. If he is in PSG, atleast he is sure of going to Champions league every year, with a better coach like Zidane, he could be a Champions league winner, who knows.?

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE (EPL) OF WONDERS.

English Premier league really has some huge surprises for all of us in the last day. It is really competitive this year and the expectation is high. It will be worthy to note that:
1. The title winner is not yet known till the last match.
2. The clubs going to Champions league are not yet determined till the last match.
3. The clubs going to Europa are not known yet till the last match.
4. The clubs going to Europa conference league are not yet determined till after the last match.
5. The clubs going on relegation are not also known till now.
Bravo English Premier league for this awesome competition. I don't know when to witness this kind of competition again in Epl.
1850  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What does volatility means with example? on: May 20, 2022, 10:12:10 PM
Volatility is derived from the word Volatile.
A substance is said to be Volatile if it is able to change very rapidly within a priod of time. The rapidness is in most cases unpredictable which could lead to gain or loss. But in crypto, volatility is often emphasised for the lost aspect of it.

It is therefore correct to define volatility in cryptocurrency as the rate at which the prices of cryptocurrencies changes.
Volatility is good and bad.
It is good because it creates the movement that day traders need to make profits in the market.
It is bad because if it moves against you, you will run into losses.
Sorry if I am too elementary in my explanation  it is because your question looks elementary too. You may have the knowledge of what I'm saying, but I still need to share it, I never can tell who it may help.
1851  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My first novice view towards Bitcoin on: May 20, 2022, 09:45:08 PM
I know how it feels Op and because of your greediness and lack of knowledge that's the reason why you've forced to sell your BTC in a short time  $75 to $45,
It is not right to call OP greedy according to this topic.  OP was not greedy a bit. He was fed with incomplete information or simply he was misinformed. He only acted according to the information available to him. He was told that if he invest in a bitcoin platform his money will multiply. He invested and checked back and noticed his money reduced instead, he should not be blamed for acting swifly to withdraw his remaining $45 so that it won't get to $0.
Again, OP only invested $75 which I believe is what he can afford to loose, assuming he was greedy, he would have borrowed money from relative to make it like $500.
Op's mistake is not a new one, it one among the hundreds we read everyday.
One funny thing is that Op entered the market in a bull market and that is the time that newbies flow in.

Everton home ground is full of excitement as fans evade the pitch with chants of victory, shouts of joy, fluts pierced the air, trumpet louder and the sound of banger becomes the regular music. What a great come back from 0:2  3:2.
Frank Lampard is seen cheering the fans and the noise cannot cease. Just a few minutes to end the match to what seem to be the most fantastic match for Everton this season.
The joy is overwhelming and I am happy for Everton.  It would have been a shame to Everton, their players and Lampard if they are relegated.
England premier league is proving to be the best league so far.
Glory glory Everton.

But if we talk about today's game, I would prefer Burnley and Everton for my bets. These 2 teams both need a win to really be able to play in the EPL for next season.
if Everton and Burnley can get the win. it will cost Leeds to fall into the relegation zone. Everton has a pretty good opponent. they have to fight hard to get the victory. while Burnley had to silence Aston Villa. it will also be difficult for Burnley. because their previous meeting was a win for Aston Villa 1-3.
but this is an important point for Everton and Burnley. they can look different than before. good luck to both of them.
In theory and how it is supposed to be, Everton and Burnley are supposed to win, but in the reality things will be so much different.  I don't encourage anyone to bet on the above teams to win, you can bet by other options.
Crystal Palace is a team that is doing better than Everton in this season, this is shown in there positions in the league.
Aston Villa is better than Burnley and it is shown also in their positions in the table. So we cannot because they want to escape relegation and accord them strength that they don't have. Besides, Arsenal wanted to be in Champions league and they didn't do any wonders.
1855  Economy / Economics / Re: Constant defamation of crypto on: May 19, 2022, 12:25:57 PM
Why are so many governments and even people constantly trying to defame crypto?
There are basically two reasons for this, ignorance and a desire to keep the status quo, most people do not really know anything about the economy and are afraid of change, so when they hear of this new revolutionary form of money they just reject it based on instinct and nothing more, now governments understand very well what is at stake, which is why they lie about bitcoin so much, since they can see that bitcoin is a threat to the fiat system that benefits them so much and they are not willing to let go of it without a fight.
That is the nature of man. Man resists anything that differs from status quo, especially when he is not directly involved in the change. Every change brings two results, positive results to people that understand it and follows the trend and negative result to people that have decided to embrace the status quo. This is the reason every technological advancement or innovation is resisted at the initial stage. Electricity was resisted, the use of toilet was resisted, television and lots more. But in all these, a technology with positive impact wins on the long run. It will take some few decades for bitcoin to scale through properly and be trusted by the people.

Today Everton will continue to struggle and against Crystal Palace Everton players targeted 3 points and i think it is not impossible to do so because head to head records between them showed Everton was unbeatable during play for home matches so there is a chance for them to win the match although there were some of players who got suspension after get red card from previous match but it shouldn't be a problem because Everton still have other players as an alternative
Frank Lampard should be very much careful with his remaining two fixtures. I personally do not understand English Premier league this season, if he is not careful he may loss out. Everton should pay good attention to their defence and their posy, they should focus more to secure their goal post rather than that of the opponent.  Assuming they got one point from their previous match, they would have been somehow safe.
Lampard needs to escape relegation in order to maintain his reputation and dignity and save his coaching career.
Crystal Palace is not battling for any title but they will not have it easy with Everton today and Manchester United in the last day.
1857  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN AS A LEGAL TENDER on: May 19, 2022, 10:23:17 AM
Please I ask the forum do you think Bitcoin can be installed as a means of legal tender in advance county like CHINA, USA , ENGLAND, JAPAN etc...
Seeing it's getting close to it's mining 21million limit
If bitcoin is installed in China, USA, England, Japan etc, will it add any more features to Bitcoin?
My problem is not for all these countries to adopt Bitcoin as their legal tender, my concern is for them to allow Bitcoin to exist as their fiat is also existing. Live and let's live. If countries doesn't adopt Bitcoin as their legal tender and allow Bitcoin to operate on its own, I am sure Bitcoin will live and surpass its expectations.
Those countries should not ban bitcoin, or rather unban for the ones that have previously banned Bitcoin. They should not make laws that are not friendly with bitcoin, they shouldn't tax or over tax Bitcoin and allow us to enjoy our Bitcoin. We are not praying for them to make bitcoin any legal tender.
1858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Paradox - a Simple Online Scam Honored as Deity on: May 19, 2022, 10:11:22 AM
The OP failed to factor in the utility of Bitcoin.
He failed totally, I didn't read all his wall of text because I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't want to read something that will not be useful to me because I have made my own research about bitcoin.
What Op did'nt understand is that value can be created. The laptop we use is a rectangular box but the value in it made it superb. The fiat currency we use is a paper but the value it carry differentiates it from other papers.
Whatever you may think of bitcoin, provided that Satoshi gave it a value and the society has agreed with the value it carry and there is a secured and reputable way to secure the value bitcoin carry, we are not afraid anyday.
1859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 18, 2022, 08:35:48 PM
Finally the Europa League final game has started. It has been around ten minutes so far and there has been a balanced game by these teams. Each one of them want to weigh the other and play according to it. Because they haven't played even a single game against each other before. So they don't know each other much. And it is up to them to make use of this situation somehow. When it comes to my favourite, I think Rangers will win the title.
+40 minutes on the game, still 0-0 between Frankfurt and Rangers.
Frankfurt is trying to score but didn't succeed so far. I think there will be goals in the second half but extra time and even penalties are possible too.
I am going for Frankfurt to win
I am surprised how you tipped that Frankfurt will win, I am not sure you are viewing the match. To tell you how bad the match is, after first half, I switched off my television and entered my bedroom. The match is so boring that it is only Rangers that were trying to play good football, especially the Nigerian Aribo. Frankfurt doesn't have a game plan in the match. They cannot complete passes in the opponent's half. The only option left for them is to introduce people that can take shots from outside 18 box.
I was surprised tonight and I asked myself that is this the same Frankfurt that eliminated Barcelona?

Edit: I have checked my livescore and the same Aribo scored.

It is a problem for the newbies getting merits, the eagerness is endless as they anticipate merit in any content they have put up effort with.

This is true for newbies who has been here before and coming back with another account. For someone getting to know about the merit system will not be so eager to earn it.

But it seem not coming. Is it that those who have excess of merits reserves their generosity or there are laid down principles in writing a Meritorious contents.

Strictly none of the above. You may see one with much merits and at that particular time has no single smerits to share. Excess merits as you said doesn't mean there is always smerits except for merit sources. And it seems that merit sources run out of smerits sometimes.
There are no laid down principles in writing merit worthy posts.
You get merit when you make someone know new things, you help solve people's problems or answer questions. So, see merit as a reward for doing good. From henceforth you can consider to be helping people.
