I hate Manchester City right now. They are costing a lot of bettors money in this game. What the hell is Akanji and Ruben Diaz doing in the backline? Their foolish clearance nearly caused Manchester to concede a second goal. Thank God for VAR, the referee ruled out the goal as an offside.
Mate you don't have to be so disappointed with Manchester City current condition since there was a time wen Manchester City was the Hero of all seasons and in all leagues, so e shouldn't be too quick to forget their old glory, one thing I want you to know is that, since the start of this season, Manchester City have being underperforming ND to this end e shouldn't be surprised or disappointed in them.

Will it be an easy match? It should be.
Atalanta are already safe in the top 3 and Juventus will not be able to shift their position. Therefore, whatever the result of today's match, Atalanta will not worry. Meanwhile, Genoa once held a draw against Napoli, who had a much better performance than Atalanta. And the history of the two teams has experienced 2x draws from the last 5 meetings.

I don't remember the last time we saw Genoa win. The team is losing points consistently. They have lost 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches. On the other hand, Atalanta is in good form at the moment. The match may not be that important. Still, Atalanta will try their best to secure 3 points. Since the opponent is weak. And since Genoa's defense and attack are both weak. So it shouldn't be difficult for Atalanta to get 3 points in this match. Atalanta's performance is also quite stable now.
What do you guys expect from today head up between Napoli and Genoa the fact that both team are not on the same level judging from the last few games and their current position on the league table and not even to say how bad the entire season have been for Genoa, since it evident that their have lost their position and motivation to even come any thing near competing for Napoli who is already on a safe zone on the table.

consider them as an investment.


Now if there are those who invest in meme coins, whether short or long-term, it can still be considered an investment for an investor who decides to buy it. Right?
For the hypes Many are tending to consider memecoins as investment, instead just gambling with them, for memecoins investors, only the short term investors wins most especially those that are smart enough to exit the market when the hype is still very high. Much more also we may have a likely special few who can survive the market on long term but our ability to locate them nowadays is the short comings in memecions market the hype's of the fake memecions projects have covered the entire space making it hard to locate the potential coins in the memecoins market.

Being a newbie is not an excuse for being informed, we have to learn from what others do that makes them realized a particular level of success from what they are doing, its high time we wake up from being deceived by things that waste our time and money, people are no more interested in going for the telegram play to earn airdrops mining because they have not been found trustworthy right from inception, everything turned a wasted efforts for those that have been working tirelessly to hunt after their airdrops.
Well the ops may have created this thread out of the excitement of the promises those time wasting telegram tap to earn and play to earn project brought open their many user's, most of the times,we get carried away as newbies, but paying attention to well established members advice could help alot, I still remember when the hype around this telegram projects was on it highest level, I tried to educate a few of my friends not to waste time on those stuff, but they never listened, but right now the regret not listening.

Your last word says it all, in this moment all that is needed from cryptocurrency holders most especially the altcoins holders got have witnessed a significant drop in their price lately will definitely be having a tough time right now, most especially now that the recovery of their market is not forth coming, so what is left for their investors right now is to hold on and wait for better days ahead of the altcoins season eventually comes.

Anyone else confident about Chelsea today? I bet on them and I believe Cole Palmer should score at some point, precisely because of the campaign he's been having with goals and assists. I was going to bet on Aston Villa vs Tottenham but I ended up missing the time. And from what I saw it didn't make much of a difference, the game so far has been calm and goalless.
I already knew from the beginning and i already said it that Chelsea were more aggressive and are more ambitious to make sure they qualify for the Champions League than Manchester United who are more interested in winning the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League. Manchester united have literally Lost hope in winning premier League games, it's now looking like the only winning they only interested is with the Europa league.
For me both Manchester United and Chelsea played so well that only luck separated them, most of us predicted the match to en in a draw, but along the line in the 65 minutes when I saw that Manchester United, midfielders started less aggressive approach to stop Chelsea striker from penetrating their 18 line, I cashed out at and luckily in the 70 minutes the goal came in for Chelsea, so yeah congratulations to Chelsea tonight.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do gambler's really need a reserve balance? on: May 16, 2025, 10:33:37 PM
I believe so, players need to have a balance reserve. This helps maintain balance, especially when things don't go as expected. Having a reserve prevents impulsive decisions and gives you more security to continue playing strategically.
You are also right since having a balance reserves helps reduce your stress of depositing at each point you want to take an extra bet, anyways the statement was based on the fact that we want to sound more proactive with limits and excessive balance control in most cases, so we shouldn't be much focus on what the next game we risk on can bring.

The only hope lies in relying on technology to advance further, enabling us to preserve our financial privacy and create applications and mechanisms that enable us to bypass tracking and surveillance systems. Then, too, we will not survive, because this will result in a reality between authorities and users that resembles the battles between Tom and Jerry.
Very correct it all the fight between user and government, once the government attention is drawn to any sector it becomes long road down battles, and for iw e can just enjoy the flexibility that is available to us in the cryptocurrency space for iw and along the line if regulations and centralizations becomes more intense we can likely then move one from privacy enhancing engagement and try to play along with the government.

Web3 is very popular nowadays. I don’t see the point why you lose faith on it while most of the blockchain project is moving towards the application of Web 3.0.

There’s a lot of shit project that use “web 3” as category while their product is a mediocre project.

Probably you are just investing on pseudo web 3 project that’s why you suffer heavy loss on this project.
I believe his decision and statement is pushed by frustration like someone who have lost a lot of money to web3 projects, and that is because of his lack of knowledge and ability to align with the reality at hand and not following the trend and promises of high returns.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: European Union to ban anonymous crypto and privacy tokens by 2027 on: May 16, 2025, 09:58:43 PM
The reality at hand is that we have lost the fight to centralizations and also putting ourselves at risk if we accept to go along with the centralizations of cryptocurrency transactions, most centralized exchanges are banning transactions from privacy enhanced services such as gambling platforms, their anti Money laundering is somewhat at the increase and this undermine the true purpose of decentralized transactions, everything is now questioned.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025 on: May 16, 2025, 09:50:14 PM

I have not found any pizza shop accepting bitcoin here in my area, but maybe it's because I've not actually paid attention and given myself the time and dedication to look for one or more, because to be honest, I found a car stand that accepts full payment for any car or choice in bitcoin and a few other selected cryptocurrencies, I also know a bike shop where I bought my first bike way back 2022 and paid full in bitcoin, the shop owner still accept bitcoin payment till date, plus there are several big five star hotels here in my area that accept payment in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is viral, even with the regulatory uncertainties here in our country, alot of business's are accepting bitcoin payments, some are opening accepting it, while some others are secretly accepting accepting it - by openly, I mean they have it written boldly on their sign post that they accept bitcoin payment.
Bitcoin shop's is not something hidden and shouldn't require you paying special attention as low NG as you have not seen any pizza shop accepting Bitcoin, that means you may likely never find anyone accepting Bitcoin, between that also you should consider the reason for such low Bitcoin service to government approach towards Bitcoin and crypto in your country.

Why don't you mentioned igaming as the major propeller of the metaverse craze instead calling on face adoptions of a new name meta, to be the reason for the hype around metaverse sometimes ago?
Metaverse was also a hype just like web3 projects and the AI projects, although there is a bit difference in all of the mentioned hype's, but one thing is a common characteristics of all of them and that is hype crazy hypes around them when the first come into the space.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will AI narrative sustain the current momentum on a long term ? on: May 15, 2025, 11:11:32 PM
AI is just another buzzword for the token scammers to create a bunch of new but useless as ever tokens and sell it to anybody who is willing to gamble on them. Such things are never truly sustainable, they soon need to come up with a new buzzword to create new hype to be able to sell some newly created useless tokens!
Very correct, scammers are taking advantage of the hypes around AI project to introduce tons of scam coins that lack every sense of responsibility to perform in the market, and another thing that baffles me so much is hearing fork's making statements such as:
(AI changing narrative of cryptocurrency development) Whereas AI is just a buzz word, with backlog of negative embargos so why all the hype's.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: ImThour's Bitcoin Analysis - May 2025 on: May 15, 2025, 10:54:24 PM
I remember I predicted $170000 also since 2022. It was later that I saw your analyses but I also did not just arrived at $170000. But I changed my prediction some months ago when I saw how things were. I first changed to $150000 and later to $139000. I am thinking that bitcoi will between $139000 - $150000.

It is just a speculation, I can be wrong.
Speculatively you both are right, to predict Bitcoin for $170k and we should not think that the time is short for us to achieve such a price, but then also in as much as we expect such positive Bitcoin market outcome, we shouldn't forget to put in place and consideration how possible it could for Bitcoin to go in the opposite of what you both have predicted, any ways at the moment, it may seems impossible to see a decline in the price of Bitcoin, but that is not an impossibility either, so we need to think both ways and weight our risks.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do gambler's really need a reserve balance? on: May 15, 2025, 10:46:01 PM
This question is born out of my personal experience, and I expect all contributions to be in line with personal experience and reflecting your personal views and reality on the questions just as the title stated.
Do we really need a reserve balance for our gambling expenses, or we just make deposits of amount we can finish and walk?
It depends on the type of gambler that has their own way of handling that, I only plan to reserve balance only when I win on a specific amount where some percentage are kept for future bets to place. Infact, when i win gives me even more way to strategy myself to reserving balance that can keep me for betting straight a week.
I am not the type of gambler that reserve balance out of money deposited, i love to deposit little amount and play all at once and i only deposit only when i want to gambler to avoid been a victim of addiction.
Many have your type of thoughts, and are going along with that, having a controlled small amount of deposits and playing amount is a sure way to staying safe while gambling, and if you know the level of damages that comes from our inability to manage our financial transactions while gambling, you will know how important it is for us to have a mindset that controls our activities and of those good approaches is gambling with only a small amount of money and just one time deposits and play.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: $100k this week? on: May 15, 2025, 10:38:01 PM
Bitcoin has already gotten to hundred thousand, I think the expectation of people is not about Bitcoin hitting 100k only, the expectation of people is for bitcoin to reach 150k before we reach December time, so for me I know very well that the price of bitcoin do increase when people never expected it, but for the price to clamped to 100k, I know that it will clamp more than 100 when people invest in bitcoin and if we have more adoption from companies in bitcoin
The mindset and expectations of most Bitcoin investors have changed lately and in deed 100k is such a small amount and target for them right now, most people are speculating Bitcoin to touch around 150k to 200k in the very season and the current market outlook pursue that direction, although Bitcoin is still at around between 100k-105k but currently with in the last 24  hours chart record a high or around 104k+ but 48 hours chart saw 105k+ high, so my guess is as good as right.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin just a glorified ponzi scheme? on: May 15, 2025, 10:24:07 PM

What do you expect people to say when you also make Bitcoin to look like a ponzi with the statement guaranteed high returns, when we should always advocate and make statements regarding the risk of losing your money and having to wait for a long term to get a return and possible profits, despite that Bitcoin is mostly seen to have been on an uptrend profits duamention for long but it doesn't mean that there is no high volatilities in it market, so let not assured high guarantee profit while investing in Bitcoin.
You technically don't read to understand the Op stance about the whole false statement, which s/he said someone claimed Bitcoin is a glorified Ponzi scheme.
The OP pointed out what makes a Ponzi scheme, and provided a Bitcoin definition, which stated something different.
I read and understood the whole thing, but my conclusion was driven from the fact that ops should have used a more convincing terms to express the situation, making is clear and understandable for us to know his own stance as regards to the topic at hands, Bitcoin discussion is of high priority most especially when Bitcoin is being compared to something as illegal as Ponzi which is a pour scam, so to make such statements one need to carefully choose your words to avoid getting caught up.

Wether or not Manchester United draw or lose this game to Chelsea they still won't be getting relegated as the three teams Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester city has already been certified as the relegation teams this season. But, what I believe Manchester United would be fighting for in this game is for the pride of Manchester against the west London side. It has mainly being a part of the rivalry aside fighting for points. Perhaps, a draw is likely but outside that am giving it to Chelsea if there happens to be a winner because they're the one fighting for a higher course and are most definitely going to give their all.
Is not about pride but Manchester United is up against their strongest openent in the entire leagues, Chelsea and judging from the present standing man United lack the basic necessity to win this match, so let not  give them so much pressure by trying to protect a pride that Manchester United may not have at the moment, hard it been Manchester United is playing against clubs like Leicester City or other smaller clubs, it could have been better, but in this case Chelsea is a hard nut to tite for Manchester United.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don’t Bet It All on One Coin: Learn to Diversify on: May 15, 2025, 10:06:24 PM
Diversification should be between Bitcoin and altcoins, in the sense that you take a few of the high potential altcoins as your alternative investment after Bitcoin, and your portfolio should consist more of Bitcoin and less of coins, this is because of the high risk is altcoins investment, most of them should be taken as gambling most especially those coins in the memecoins categories, never consider them as an investment.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: May 15, 2025, 09:56:06 PM
The rivelry between Manchester United and Chelsea is too much that even if one side is on a multiple games losing streak, once they meet, that side on losing streak will pick form. The only advantage that Chelsea will get in this match is that Manchester United is having a final cup coming up very quick, this might make Amorim to rest his players. But if he doesn't rest players, Chelsea can't win Manchester United. I will only place my bet on this match, after the match day squad has been released. But due to the rivelry between this two teams, Chelsea should not expect any favour from Manchester United as Liverpool did them two weeks ago.
I agree with you that this two clubs don't walk on same path as their rivalry has been a long standing one, but saying that Manchester United wouldn't favour Chelsea is this game is tantamount to underrating Chelsea as though they don't stand any chance in getting all 3 points in this match. I hope if Chelsea gets to win this match the excuse from Manchester United fans wouldn't be that it's because they have a europa finals to play that's why they had to not put in so much effort in the game against Chelsea.
This is a fight between two elephants and definitely both Chelsea and Manchester United are in a desperate position to win this match, and for Manchester United losing this match means relegation for them and draw is a bit not welcome, and similar goes with Chelsea, and emotions aside, we can't definitely predict which club will win the match, so betting in a draw dimension is the most profitable odds at this point.
