Trading is not something you should totally or wholly depend on as a career or job but should be something you do as an alternative source of income because of the amount of risk that is attached to it , and too there is no guaranteed daily profit making ,except for the fact you have traded for number of years and have evaluated the results, and you are so profitable that the money you make from trading is way far more than what your job pays you and enough to cover your bills and thus making investments with the profits, then you can consider paying a reasonable attention to trading or making it a career as you wish .
The issue at hand is that the market is currently not looking good, so trading may not yield a profit every day. Therefore, in addition to gambling, you should also have a side business or job so that you don't put all of your eggs in one basket. This way, if things go wrong financially, you will still have your job or investment to support you, and you won't even be reticent to spend your investment money because if you don't have another source of income, you will wind up spending it all. and when you start trading you won't make a profit immediately and it will take a little time before making money. and if you have a job it will support the trader seriously, it is all in the strategy, nothing good comes easy.

I must tell you that i am on safe side and I don't gamble regularly just that recently picked interest to gamble and my target isn't to above my limit whereby i will be greedy to start making me feels that when even i don't gamble i have lost something in me. I have barely spent 1k NGN since all these while with my involvement in gambling and i don't intend going above that every month or two months times since i don't think gambling could favor me, i have mostly seen the bad effects of gambling so dipping head inside of it would only results to gambling addicts and i'm not a greedy player or gambler.
Gambling safely is just the best because you will know when to cross the line and when not to cross it that way your funds can be safe and you have a good budget for gambling and make sure you don't cross it, gambling is usually fun and depends on the kind of meaning given to it people see it as a job to make money from and bro I don't go with that if I place a bet and I win then am happy then if I lose am sad it is natural but depending of gambling fully as a means of getting funds I won't do that because I know the risk behind it, so always gamble with caution and that way you will be safe. and you have made a good decision not to pass your boundary which is 1k naira every month its a good one. gambling has effects especially when you an addict then you will know the dames that gambling addiction comes with you can even choose gambling over food.
343  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Have you witnessed the new improvements from some bank network? on: January 17, 2024, 08:37:20 AM
Before Kuda, OPay, Palmpay are known, you will still notice gradual improvement in commercial banks. I can remember vividly in 2014, that all failed ATM transactions on my card were all reversed, unlike some years before that you have to go to bank and complain to customer care. Although, there might still be failed ATM transactions but it reduced.

The failed transactions that was common around that time were online ones made on devices and which is still a problem today. It was common during the naira scarcity. Sometimes, the payment might be successful, but no notification. It depends on the bank that you are using. I do not have the problem with the bank that I use.

And with all these wallets present now they are in serious competition with our commercial banks and the majority of them don't even have customers like before because if you look at all these wallets give better offers than our commercial banks. they give free transfers and have limited charges compared to our commercial banks. and truely that our banks have improved because you will always have one or two issues with the bank but this day's people hardly go to the bank their network is better. and during festive seasons network used to be worse because of transactions but thank God it was fair enough last year.

during the naira scarcity, people were even switching from banks to using opay and others because of their lightning network as you send the money going with delay compared to our banks but good for them that they have improved and even introduced other means of doing transactions than just using mobile apps and the ussd code.

With Real's current squad, I only appreciate their midfield and attack. As for the defense, which is a patchwork due to injuries, I'm worried about how they will perform in the near future if this transfer period they decide not to bring any central defender contracts.

Madrid is now in form and it now looks as if they have a better chance to win because for the past few weeks, they have been performing well and their attack is penetrating well and their defense as you said injuries have affected their defense system but even at that Madrid can not be underestimated, and currently in la liga Madrid is performing well so I don't see any reason to worry about them, and they don't even have any serious contenders in the champions league for now.

Real Madrid are quite confident with their options at the moment and it is unlikely they will undertake any transfer activity in the winter to add a defender. If later Real Madrid loses another defender due to injury, they still have several young players from the academy to overcome this. I understand it won't be strong enough but at least Ancelotti understands better what is needed on the pitch and if the coach wasn't Ancelotti it's possible that Real Madrid would have made an emergency transfer to overcome the lack of defenders.
if you should call out clubs that have the chance of winning real Madrid is theirs and even last season everyone had faith that Real Madrid might win something along the line, Manchester City won but this time around Manchester City won't be able to defend for the trophy this season. they might already be making plans to get a defender they might not disclose it for now but if they do get it will help the performance of the club. I hope they don't lose another defender because that will be very terrible and might seriously affect their performance when they begin to face stronger clubs. and the ones that are injured wish they come back to the team on time to keep the goalpost defended because of their experience.
345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 17, 2024, 07:55:37 AM
I guess you only think of bitcoin as an investment and would rather hold it than use it as a means of exchange

I personally do not think that it is a bad idea I think this is a step forward to adapting bitcoin as the mainstream currency let us say this person bought bitcoin at a lower price and now that it has increased, he was able to pay the appropriate amount of bitcoin for his rent so most likely he had  a little money but was able to pay rent

I prefer also to hold than use it as a means of payment because using it as a means of payment will only favor those that are receiving b because they will want to hold and whenever it is increasing then they will be profit made on it so, in that case, I will rather keep and sped fait that spends my investment because that is how I see it just imagine after spending your bitcoin and the price that goes up how will you feel the only time I can spend my bitcoin is when there is no alternative and the bank network is having issues and I would only spend little out of it. I can not pay my house rent with my Bitcoin it won't be possible at all. I would rather source for cash somewhere than go ahead and pay rent with it. just that you can tell people how to use their money or live their life the only thing you can do is to give advice and if they listen good for them.
346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 16, 2024, 07:57:40 PM
You are correct making too many pick sometimes always goes off from the track of winning like I does I can select a maximum of 15 matches and minimum of 2 matches sometimes I do pick single bet. With this one can stand a big chances of winning the bet than going higher and mostly I have understood that whenever my games go above 10 matches would always finds it difficult to enter all rather I could be cut off on the last match and is something that has been regularly happening to me, when I select my matches I will find out that 1 matches among all would still cut.
When you see some games and just because of the odds sometimes we don't even care to make serious checks they will just sometimes be concerned with how much they will get from the onces selected and they are suppose to make serious checks before anyone just go ahead to just select games. How will someone settle down to select 15 games is that to much because which magic how do you expect all the games to enter. I will choose very few games. Select few games with very nice odds. Thats the problem when the games are to much you find it very difficult to win. Am sure smart gamblers won't make such decisions. And its all greed that is for people that choose plenty games and does are part of the elements that makes you an addict.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 16, 2024, 05:39:59 PM
Real Madrid was successfully to gets their first trophy this season by beating their strong rival Barcelona i think that is good achievement because finally they can gets revenge from Barcelona but after this result i think it's time for them to focus for upcoming matches and in Laliga Real Madrid as a host will playing against weak team Almeria this weekend according to the odds recently the bookmakers only provide low odds @1.16 for Real Madrid and Almeria @16 so this proven Real Madrid is too strong for Almeria and i think it's not required to analysis more because obviously Real Madrid is much better than Almeria although Almeria has just gets draw result by stole 1 point from Girona but i think there is no guarantee they will be able to repeat that result again even more likely Real Madrid will win with 2 goals margin or more
I don't think real Madrid is even seen Barcelona as a serious contestants this season the only person that is given real Madrid issue now is Girona and now the fight for the trophy this season is between the two of them. Even if you look at the table Girona is only leading real Madrid with just one point. Girona is yet to escape from Madrid and the only faith of Barcelona now is that they will make top four am certain of that. But aside that one i don't see them doing anything other than that this season. And Madrid playing against Almeria is another added point to real Madrid to flip Girona. And for quite some time now this season is worst for real Madrid. And the odd given to real Madrid is reasonable. Even doh everyone know that Almeria can not beat real Madrid.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 16, 2024, 05:17:54 PM
I also used to see how people gambled their money and how they won even with small capital. But recently I've reduced this because I feel it's just uncomfortable for me to constantly see how other people gamble and how they can win with their gambling. I think that envy is a poison that if left for a long time makes us not focus on what we are doing and it could bring us bad luck. And that's why now I don't really pay attention to how people gamble.
You win gambling when you don't even expect. Their are people that use big amount and will still and their people that will use small money and they will still lose its luck the only thing is that while gambling you should make sure that you use a reasonable amount of money so that the bettor won't gamble away all the funds they have made. I know that feeling of not feeling comfortable with how some people gamble constantly. Your chances of not been influenced is small. So the best thing is to stick to your on way of doing your thing don't copy anybody while gambling because we all have different luck and I bet you don't want to end up been an addict. Don't allow people's win to be a motivation for you just do your thing slowly the way you want it. It is good you don't even pay attention.
Another poison that is combined with jealousy is that we constantly learn other people's strategies, I do not deny that it is not good to be aware of new things and improve ourselves but this awareness should really be less applied in gambling because other people are also scouting the path, they don't have consistent strategies and what's more, this maze changes its exit every time. Paying attention to others will make ourselves an experiment and no experiment is too cheap, sometimes going bankrupt is not enough to make a successful experiment.
Jealousy is evil and will lead many people to destruction. Because you will continually envy other people's wins, which may lead to severe gambling, and if somebody becomes hooked, it will be disastrous. Because those who are currently addicted will not do anything reasonable for themselves. And will those who are married suffer as well? How can their families cope with such a situation where any tiny amount of money must be spent on gambling. If you even study tactics some individuals use when gambling will be helpful but don't replicate their gambling habits. It is not a terrible idea to explore different tactics.
349  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education and why it should be a priority. on: January 16, 2024, 04:43:59 PM
I think we all have been taught financial literacy when we were young.

Save money in banks, invest in stock or gold, fiat lose it's value due to inflation, assets that depreciated overtime etc. But the reality, not many people want to save their money, not many people able to hold their investment so long, many people obsessed with depreciated assets e.g. car, branded cloth, etc.

It means, they aware with that, but choose to not doing it.
I believe this is a follow-up product as no one can provide genuine financial guidance. As you mature, you may encounter difficulties that require intelligence to overcome. Failure to learn at a young age might lead to financial instability and a lack of seriousness. I will invest in stocks because your money will grow when your business succeeds, rather than simply keeping it and saving it, invest it in something that will yield a consistent profit.

If money is not invested, inflation has a tendency to erode it. And that is why I am constantly against people who keep their money inactive in the name of saving. Use the money to invest in something, even if it's a small restaurant that accepts bitcoin as a payment mechanism and another means to save your bitcoin. In today's environment, all you need to know is how to capitalize on money-making possibilities. And once you can think beyond the box, it will be as simple as anything to achieve financial freedom.
350  Economy / Economics / Re: Reasons for personal financial accountability? on: January 16, 2024, 04:15:34 PM
I think, when growing up, everyone must be responsible for their own personal finances. It comes from many reasons, circumstances, and age that it becomes more important such as: managing spending, building Stable life, have a budget to reserve for risks of life events, and future orientation. When you have a family and children, this issue becomes even more important. I have a family, 2 sons and everything for me needs to be managed, mixed with my finances.
Being responsible is a choice that can be made personal because when someone is not comfortable with their condition, they will do anything to be financially free because there are people who have grown up and don't care what condition they are in; they do not want to be responsible regardless of age. If you know how to budget and plan your life. If not for that then it will have a means have a way of hurting people's life because how do you survive starting from the meals then to accommodation then to bills and their are a lot of people homeless only because they are homeless. And have a budget doesn't not really work again because things are expensive. The whole thing is just a two sided thing. Even if some people are married they won't still be responsible. Like I said its just personality.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 14, 2024, 10:34:43 PM
Manchester United couldn't win but they got a draw against Tottenham however Manchester United could even lose this match because currently Manchester United is not in a good situation and they are having problems in their teams while Tottenham is in a better situation and they had a better start in this season they were even in the first pale of the league for some weeks ad that's why think talking a draw was a lot for Manchester United.

Because of Manchester United's current state, I am confident that they will not be able to win. And Manchester United was the first to score. They've already scored three minutes into the contest. And the way they were doing it, Manchester United doesn't want to lose, and as they score, Tottenham equalizes. And Tottenham started brilliantly, but couldn't maintain their lead. And they even attempted to eqyalize. A lot of people were given high hopes to Tottenham. And now they are the once losing and try their best to revive their self.
It was lucky that Man United still got a point from the match. If you looked the stats, Tottenham very dominated the match and created many opportunities. But Tottenham players only could score 2 goals during the matches, they failed to steal full points in Old Trafford. It is true that Man United still can't play in a good form, they played like a mediocre team. Luckily, they still could score 2 goals in this match, so their position remains in the top 8 of EPL standings. It seems not easy to return the best performance of Man United because there are too many complicated problems in Man United.
Tottenham tried everything to put pressure on Manchester United, but the game was just in their favor. Tottenham also had six shots on goal. 63 percent ball possession indicates that Manchester United would have won as normal. Tottenham players lost plenty opportunities if not they were in the right position to have won. Like you said Manchester united are just lucky. The old Trafford Stadium favored them. I believe their performance will remain unchanged till the conclusion of the season, and Newcastle are in the same boat. And Manchester United will not improve. I'm not sure who is worse between them and Chelsea. And their Manchester is still perplexed as to what is wrong.

353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: January 13, 2024, 07:14:56 PM
Most of the time, gamblers will be unstable when they're on a losing streak. To overcome such a situation, gamblers, some of whom used to go for high bets, We can't conclude that someone is unstable just because of their outfit. The person mentioned by OP is a regular gambler, and in physical casinos, they allow people who are mentally stable, it isn't possible. In most of the casinos, we were able to see bars and other entertainment services, which are intended to make people unstable and leave them empty-handed.
Those with the issue of addiction are the once that are always unstable because they are always some kind of a metal state. When you keep having expectations and your not meeting them then it will definitely affect anyone that is addicted and will keep doing revenge gambling until they win. I think their people that are looking very poor not because of anything but their greed. I don't think gambling has any thing to mental challenges. The only thing I see gambling coming with is frustrating, anxiety and depression and if you look at it they are all part of the mental challenges. And everything that as to money comes with there own mental challenges.

Not everyone deserves to know what a Bitcoiners does or if one have Bitcoin as holdings. When people hear Bitcoin, some may just conclude that one is wealthy enough, but not knowing how much quantity and how the BTC is earned is what's the core truth that needs protection from those who don't understand the value Bitcoin has brought to their lives

I can tell close family and friends if need be, but the first I tell, would have to have been very close inorder for me to let them in on such secret, even if they probe till heaven falls.
I remember at first when you tell people you into bitcoin the next thing they think you into fraud but thank God for now that people are getting enlightening about the entire bitcoin. And once they think you are wealthy enough the next thing is for them to start bill you not considering your current condition. Either you have or not. And they have forgotten that you can invest as little as 10 dollars. They don't know how much you have invested and don't care to know the only  thing they know is for you to bring when they ask you because you are a bitcoiner.

Am can also share with my beloved friends and family about it since they have idea about my investment and know the quantity owned but as for outsiders I will better keep it for my self because I know how people can be and also for security reasons it is better to keep it to your self.
355  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Spot trading or future trading which trading is best for beginers? on: January 13, 2024, 04:41:39 PM
Spot trading will be more ideal for beginner traders since it is much more profitable and more safer since one is still pretty new to the market ,On the other hand Future trading requires lots of knowledge and skills before one can become profitable it also involves lots of losses unlike spot so for Beginners spot trading will be the best choice.
Futures is more involved, and it is best to begin with sport since it is lower risk and much easier to run. You do not even need as much analysis as you need with futures because substantial market research is required. Because you can simply choose at random. Nothing will be archived if things are done at random. And coming into the system newely the focus should be to start from the basics. And spot is part of the basics instead of going into futures.the loses while doing futures is more than doing futures. Just that the profits sometimes is tempting but at the same time very risky. And know there are people that naturally like risk but in futures the risk need a good amount of knowledge before even starting.

Chelsea's match against Fulham was quite fierce in the first half and Chelsea managed to take a 1 goal lead through the penalty point at the end of the first half.
Overall, Chelsea's performance is still not improving, especially Chelsea's front line which is not optimal in completing opportunities, but on the other hand, Fulham's performance is also quite bad in this match so Chelsea's chances of maintaining their lead or even adding goals in the second half are still quite large.
This should be a victory for Chelsea and they must win 3 points in order to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings.
The game would have even ended draw if not for the penalty. Chelsea won't have been able to win Chelsea and Manchester united does not look like clubs that will do anything good this season and their games are always boring. And people saying Chelsea will get better now it is now looking as if Chelsea is even getting worst. And having a record of five yellow card Chelsea wanted to win by all means. And Chelsea is still having difficulty finishing. And any club that don't know how to finish then will have lesser opportunities to win. Both Fulham and Chelsea are both not serious and you comments of adding more goals was just laughing because I know it will be impossible for them to do that. And the game ended 1:0 did not expect more and if not for the penalty it would have been 0:0.

Trading is for people that can endure  the market present reaction we still keep holding and trading. We need to be logical and don't think that the market is just for the rich alone. Even the rich can lose in the market and we know that there loses are always big compared to what an average person could lose in the market. Sometimes not having enough funds can limit our winnings in the market so we need to decide to concentrate and focus on what we keep giving us profits.
Doing both is the greatest option. There is nothing inherently wrong with trading or holding, but holding is safer, and the aspect of trading depends on the manner of trading you employ. That is how you make money from bitcoin; exploit little opportunities to make more money. When you buy to hold, you can keep it for a very long time, and trading can be when the price is low, you buy, and when it is high, you sell, and you will always make money regardless of the market condition.

The  market does not select who will lose or not. So either rich or poor will still lose. And little funds can not give you much profit. But it is better to have knowledge before starting.

A neighbor of mine came to ask a guy next to me  a question concerning a topic called figure of speech in English, the question said what are the examples of figure of speech and the guy couldn't even answer any question... assuming he was a good listener in school he should answer that question
So to tell the truth eeh SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE DE HELP

Knowledge from school helps a lot ooo especially if you constantly come in contact with children.
Most children are very inquisitive. They literally want to know about anything and everything their eyes see.
My neighbor's nieces came visiting one holiday and where asking about everything that their eyes saw.

They asked about all the trees they saw, how they are planted, how long it will take to grow the seedlings to trees, if the fruits from the tree were edible and lots more.
Omo, the questions were a lot but thank God for agriculture if not nah to dey find network to dey browse answers.

I'm wondering what Arsenal will do as of this stage in the Champions League. They had a successful group stage as expected. Now I can say that they have a comfortable matchup to play against Porto as well. Because I don't believe Porto are one of the teams that can eliminate Arsenal in this tournament. Porto couldn't even beat Barcelona in the group stage. I mean that Barcelona aren't weak of course but I don't think they have played better than Arsenal at all.  Sad

Anyway I see Arsenal in the quarter finals already to tell the truth. But they had better improve their performance more as there is some decline recently.
Am just scared since we managed to scale through the first league and the next stage is going to be more challenging because Arsenal as not been doing well in the Premier League so it will be even more difficult to win the Champions league. Have you forgotten that Barcelona are the defending champions in la Liga so you should not expect less from them if Arsenal should win against them. Then it will be a bonus for them. But even after that win I dont see us going far. And even with Barcelona winning against Porto is funny doh even in their bad condition. Arsenal's performance as not been of their best recently so its high time they start fixing their problems.
