I don't have anything to sag about Manchester United performance in the Champions League, they are no longer in my book of serious team, because even the bottom team in the table will be going to knockout stage and one will be going to Europa playoff and Manchester United is no where to be found again. Looking at the state of the club, I will say they are nothing but exactly opposite of what Liverpool did last season. They qualified to the Champions League but didn't go far but weren't doing well in the Premier League.

If he has a contract of 3 years with Manchester United board and promised that within these 3 years, he was going to win atleast 1 Premier League cup to the club and at the end, he couldn't meet up with the target, trust me will be sack and replace but now that we are in the mid way, it might not happen now until towards the end of next year. This is nt official, but I'm just saying what mag happen to him if he doesn't get the team to top 4 before the end of the season.

It's not about having the money, but you have to follow the Fifa rule so as to not violate financial fair play policy, if you do your point will be deducted and that's exactly what happened to Juventus last season and Everton this season. You can see that Everton has demoted by -10 points from the table ranking, if Chelsea spend a lot, they will enter into debt and I think they have gotten the best deal of players before the beginning of the season, u don't know why they can't perform as it was supposed to be in with all the hype around the new signees.

Osimhen coming to Chelsea is not visible, people are only pushing that because he like Chelsea club as a kid but you and I know what is inside a business. Even as an adult, you may like something but the professional and career comes before anything and you might not considered such deal.

I think I read the story isn't completed, the guy was a regular sporty player, I saw some pictures of him holding a long bet slip from old games he won on Facebook. I think what happened was the guy borrowed money from a friend about ₦1.5M to add to his money ₦1 and all together sum it to ₦2.5M and he used it to bet but unfortunately, the bet didn't go well as he lose the money to the betting company and out shame and how to pay back the money, he drank insect popularly called Otapiapia in Nigeria and passed away leaving a note behind but if he has been winning money as they claim, is this amount worth taking life? That's something I'm yet to figure out.


No matter what happened in this life, taking life isn't worth it. This is why I like how I see warning here about taking loan money to bet, gambling is based on luck and you never know when it will go fine or go left, we just assume and believe it will go well but anything that comes after is not something we can control, that's why we should never gamblw with money that is not our own and also gamble responsibly.

First, you said Bitcoin is not illegal in Europe and I know Belgium is under Northwestern Europe, then why will the banks hold your paymenyt? On what ground do they did that unless there is more to the story. If the Central Bank didn't give them that directive to confisticate transactions that are involved in cryptocurrency, I don't think they have the power to impose that monetary system to the people, unless I repeat they have the power from the government and the Central Bank.

If there is nothing like such of preventing people from doing crypto payments to exchange, kindly storm the bank and make your complaint to the customer service but if there is something like that guideline of crypto de-payment and facilitation to exchange, kindly abort because you don't know what they might do to you because you broke the law.

To avaid this problem next time, you can used an exchange like Binance to buy your crypto through P2P transaction but when you intend to send the payment to the seller, make sure you don't include the crypto related words in the transaction reference, your name is enough as proof of payment and as soon as your paymet is comfirmed by the merchant seller, he/she is going to release your crypto for you which you can see on your funding wallet and you can withdraw it to external wallet of your choice, a win win for you, the bank, the seller and the exchange without any problem and I think p2p attract zero charges.

I'm interested in that part of losing your coins. If you are new to a new place, you need to first understand how the place work and how to avoid problems, crypto is not different from that as well. Security is paramount in crypto because the transactions are not reversible once they are sent, so how do you avoid security threat and possible hack of your crypto is all upto you and the first thing you need to do is to make sure that your coins are kept in a hardware wallet.

A wallet is where you store your crypto because it helps you manage your coins and also help you sign transactions and also protect your private keys. The best and recommended wallet is the hardware wallet, they are pretty safe to some degree and they are vulnerable like the software wallet. Anytime you want to buy a coin, make sure that you store your coin in the hardware wallet.

Secondly, please make sure your coins are not kept in a centralized exchanges, there has been theft of coins and tokens by centralized exchanges and to date, they have not recover from that loss, its better to avoid this kind of exchange and if you must use them, always withdraw your coins from the exchange once you are done buying or selling your crypto,

Trading is hard, no cap about that. Let assume you are new trader that is just into the game of trading and you summon courage to start trading, you learn the basic knowledge and the studies to start trading and you fund your account and start doing something for yourself, that worth more than anything because trading is hard, anyone that give it a try to succeed seriously need to be given a medal. But in the process, the hard part of it makes many people to quit because many of them are been miss guided about trading and the social display of traders makes it look easy on the outside.

I hope you do know that many people that shows that they are traders are not even real traders, many of them impersonate some successful traders and investors just for impression to scam people that don't know much about trading, even those that teach trading courses don't trade, they only depend on their trading courses and the revenue they get from people that views their vidoes especially platforms like Youtube and Udemy.

To trade is to be smart and to be smart is to take money from market makers and they are more smart than you because they have been here for ages and they don't want you to take any money from them. Trading is hard but we have people that makes thousands grands from it and make living comfortably from it.

You did what you had in mind already, I think this question is damage control but I think Bonk was airdrop to Solana holders last year if I remember correctly, where you holding since that time or you bought when the price was low and have you been in profit since you bought it?

I don't know much about Bonk but I know a little details about the coin, it was first distributed by some group of some solana developers that were trying to create PEPE meme version on Solana and because solana was also in a lot of controversial news due to FTX, the team the community were fighting back the dump of Solana and that is how Bonk meme was born and people fomo and I think lots of Solana bag holders were compensiated, that is little I know about the coin.

If you ask me about the future and certainty of price discovery of Bonks, I will say "I can't say because meme coins don't have direction and it is upto what the community brings to the table, they may bring another hype that will bring the price up or something that may bring the price further down. However, why don't you like to invest in coins that are atleast with a working products and not some shitcoins that will always give heartache.

I don't want to say trading books are not necessary, they are primary but don't waste too much time on them. Once you know the basic, go straight to details videos that will put you through trading practice, the more you practice, tbe more you understand the trading and even improve much better.

From your trading history, I don't think you have master trading that much. Unless you are dealing with a large capital. Such amount is to large to be lost on a single trade. If you are into trading futures, please avoid that for now and if the loss continues, then you should try paper trading. It's more like trading in real time, you can select any of your trading pairs on Tradingview and you can use it to trade and it's going to be in real time to the reference exchange yiu choose, let say A represent A token and then chose A/USDT from kucoin, it is going to be mimicking that pairs from that exchange and so does other exchanges as well.

Regarding next line of action, try and pay attention to the fundamental aspect of that coins, the news is what drive coins in the market, if you don't blend fundamental aspect of the coin to the technical, your trading is going to be a nightmare and pain in the ass.

Just because you didn't had the opportunity to be early in some of this coins you mentioned of not been profitable doesn't mean others didn't. I remember very well that DOT was sold for $0.29 at the ico price and it did made an all time high of $55 dollar and is trading today around $7.2, that's like 25x from the ICO price and the listing price was even lower which some many people got below $1 and $2, this investment is justified to be okay for people that bought at lower price exception of investors that bought at high price.

Cardano(ADA) was also profitable for may people because during that pump, I know a very good friends that made something good from Ada that they will never forget. I'm not sure you chose the right coins for bull and bear, in fact Ada did pumped more than 25% within the last 24 hours.

Ordi, pepe, floki and other rest of tbe meme coins were developed for fun until people took it seriously and it did pumped and since it's a meme without any quality which Elon Musk established from doge, people don't care or bother to do research and it's frustrating to see people lose money on this coins, it's dangerous to invest in something that is made for fun. No product, no roadmap, nothing to back the project but hype and talk and what do you think will happen after the hype? They will fade and die.



Learn to diversify your portfolio with different altcoins, split your investment into them, either short or long term, you will see a proofit from the and problems like these can be avoided.

What did I just read? Do you know that even a tier one project can turn into a shitcoin? They were heavily invested by the OGs and different venture capitals that are famous in crypto but what happened at the end, it's now a shit show. Here comes the list:

• Terra Luna
• FTT
• ICP

Reasons why this projects fail were obvious but we people love to see what they want to see and don't care about the red flags around them.

Terra Luna gave one of the most hype and high APY in staking Luna and USTC, it was a scam APY that wouldn't last long but what happened after, 6 feet under the ground and he is trying to be extradited to US the last time I heard of him in the media.

FTX/FTT was donating millions and lobbying politicians and congress house because of his political ambitiousness and it's obvious that this where from customers money but many people were extra excited about the market and what happened today, not only did he embezzle the company money, he did it together with his sweet long time girlfriend(partners in crime).

ICP/internet computer protocol conducted one of the largest ico in tbe crypto industry but what happened after, there tokenomics was bad and when they released the listing date, people sold all of their investment and I don't blame them because you don't expect people to leave their investments seeing that it's has done 400x on listing date. To date, ICP is yet to recover and I doubt if that is going to happen soon.


What am I saying? It's possible that you will do all tbe basic research needed before investing into altcoins and you might still bite the dust reason is that altcoins are very risky investment, take your profit while the market is still green on the other side.

Asking for what that has a good potential is like asking a fellow bush hunter for a perfect place you think you can catch a local rabbit. Anyone could spot you anywhere in the bush and you may get a perfect rabbit you are looking for and you may not and that leave you with 50/50 chances, so any sort of suggestions that you get from this thread, do extra assignment on them and good research on the common things you need to know and understand about the project mentioned above and below my post.

Before I digress, I hope you know that some projects are under tight scrutiny of SEC and as such, you may get offloading of coins on the market form time to time when SEC start their investigations and probe against some of those projects they see as security. In addition, there are projects that are under FTX that are undergoing liquidation, you might want to read this as FTX is allowed by the court to sell $200M worth of coins under their care every week.

Looking for a cheap coins, I will say you should look into new solid projects that has not blown but it seems there hasn't been any one or them that has come out with big capital ventures, it seems even the VCs are scared to invest into the wrong project because most of the ones they have invested has not return them what they spent and some are likely not to becaude they are dead or waiting for another innocent buyers like you. Be careful out there because it's cold on this market.

If you are asking this question after spending more than 8 years here in the Forum, I'm really curious of what you have learn so far in this place. Have you for once heard of the phrase associated with bitcoin like "no single point of failure" and "no middle man"? They are simply implying that bitcoin doesn't depend on one person, see it as a community and they are not situated in the same place; just like you and I can run the bitcoin network independently without even knowing each other, now imagine if everybody decide to stop and the rest of us continue to run the network, is it possible to shut down. The only way bitcoin network will ever shutdown is "if internet never work again" which is not possible.

Bitcoin network is a connection of bitcoin nodes and miners that are distributed around the world, a node and a miner make up the bitcoin network and they communicate hand in hand to make security, decentralization and speed up time by synchronizing together. When node A, B, C and miners A₁, B₂ and C₃ shutdown in a particular location or jurisdiction, the rest in another part of the world will continue to function and transactions will be mine through them. The only challenge with shutting down some miners is that it will only affect how decentralized the bitcoin network has been which will adjust again if more people join the network.

Round 2

Would it be enough to buy 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin every month?

I'm cold to see this.  
This forum might be faceless and private but when I interact here, I imagine it like I'm talking one on one with people and seeing one of us here departed without saying goodbye is a sad news. I am praying for him to see peace, eternal life and may the lord continue to look after his family. I pray he see good things of heaven and good things after this life. Amen. Bitcointalk will forever remember you, Rest on legend. 🕯️

I thought allowance are meant to be used to support your school miscellaneous like textbooks, some bills like materials and handout and also to print assignment and other things that will come up later in school. My question is if you plan to use that money to invest into bitcoin, how do you plan to take care of your school business, don't starve and deprive yourself for a quality education, use the money and face your education man, bitcoin will go no where but your school semesters will never wait for you especially when you have problem later.

I believe that if your father notice that you are using his credit card to to do another thing entirely different and also spend the $100 bill quickly, he will question your spending habit and I believe you have the perfect answer to that and if they are not aware of you buying bitcoin, it's better you are open than doing some underground things that will cost your relationship with your parents, it's better they know.

However, if all I have said is irrelevant and perhaps you are from a well to do family and a pamper kid, buying bitcoin worth of $100 is good, in 10 months, you should have at least $1000 worth of bitcoin in your custody or should have been more than if bitcoin continues to pump as you keep buying it but the next line of action lies on when you want you want to sell it. You can hold when you have gain something quality or hold for long term but make sure you face your studies very well.

There is no alternative to this right now than to pay the fees because the bitcoin network has become high even in weekends due to the FOMO and the ETF anticipations of speculators, but if you want to forgone decentralization and privacy, then here are some options that I know you can use to purchase an item from online vendors:

Most vendors that I know used Binance pay or internal transaction to received bitcoin transaction, so I think you can ask him if he want the payment through that route, simply request for his Binance Pay ID and move your coins from spot wallet to funding and send him the bitcoin and then you can share him the transaction ID which is always an internal transaction and it cost zero fees but you have to make sure you are dealing with a legit and trust worthy vendor, if you don't trust and can't verify then don't send. Other exchanges has this features, Kucoin is there as well to use.

You can also request if the vendor accept other coins, many of them accept stable coin such as USDT, you can swap your BTC to stablecoin and utilized tron blockchain for the time being because this are the only alternatives that you can use for now and if you insist on bitcoin for such, then you have to be ready to pay the fees to get your transaction to the vendor.

I think the only thing that will make any person to be sad in gambling is when they gamble more than they can afford to lose, you shouldn't be sad over something that you can not control, if your check your errors and mistakes and is something that can be adjusted then that is the next thing that you need to reconsider and review if it worth been change, tweak or simply start a new strategy that will make you win.

The only thing I have notice in gambling when I win, I get over excited and I can't just hide it because the joy and overwelming profit is just difficult to hide and do share it with people and anytime I does this, my money get quickly finish because beg which is normal because when you win gambling money, people sees it as money to be eating and enjoyed. However, I observed that I don't share it again with people because it is annoying to see how the money quickly even when I know human nature with need and trying to be generous at the same time.

concerning the winning days, I just go out and buy one or two things in the store from the cashout and save the rest for the day, it was then I do feel too happy but now, it's like a normal thing and for the lost, I just brush it up and move on like nothing happen.

I think you are mixing up the Casino and the mixers. Casinos are most of the time are platforms where different people come to play games and bet on those games but the contional approach has been mordernized to with the help of the internet where you can now play game from your phone and computers and privacy are usually low in this platforms even if the public doesn't know of your doings, the team that owns the casino teams knows your activity, there is no privacy in that place except for few of them that doesn't request for KYY verification.

As for the mixers, even the team that mixes your bitcoin might not know the destination of your bitcoin. The two are different and they are not related except for the fear of money laundering but they have ways of dealing with such people.


Well well, I don't blame the global moderators for fighting against Mixers because of the allegations that has been brought up from financial crime agency and it will be a threat to the forum in the long run.
Any platforms that is involve in finance will definitely has problem of money laundering but I don't think casinos are that completed like that with mixers, any criminal person can misuse the opportunity of privacy and abused it but since casinos has KYC, it will reduce the rate because even exchanges laundered money alot despite the KYC.

He is one of the most bullied and yet confused player Manchester United has gotten for the last 2 season and I am marvel by how he do overcome it but I don't see the lies in what people says about him, he is just an average player in Manchester United with huge sprinkle of hype and this is why he was able to remain top of his game. If Maguire is another player, they will have sold him cheap and ridiculed him since considering how scanderious Erik Ten has been this season with his players and many injured players.

Though, he deserve some motivation for his come back been the worst defender this season to help his team score a goal that help them move by 3 point in the standing to defending greatly and helping Onana in some games else they will have lose more than they did played in the last 5 weeks. It's a well deserved award and seeing how cool he was during the time on his social handle and even in the picth is a mark of respect, I sometimes pity him because he is a human being after all, even the reactions is always there but I hope to see him do better in the future and also avoid more sensational problems for the team.

I will not judge anyone because as they used to say, there are two side to a coin. We are all human being and I believe what is reported is bigger than what really happened because none of them has spoken up about the whole story and things that has been happening but the media will speculated and Erik Ten been the coach will be favoured forgetting that he might be wrong too for his actions. I think Sancho is not the only player he has been brutal to, he did to Rashford last season but his the type that's simple and let it slide but every other player can not be like Rashford and a spade will be call a spade when it's time.

Sancho had an amazing moment in Dortmund and been a great home of players that comes to limelight, I think it's safe to say that Manchester United degraded his career. The time he was signed to Manchester United to now should be enough for him to make more of what he has done in Dortmund but it seems what he accomplished in Dortmund compare to the years he has spent here is a complete failure. There is nothing bad to want to come to mainstream of football but Manchester United is a very wrong choice of club for him in my opinion.
