1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: Today at 06:58:43 PM
Yeah, Frankfurt needs to win too, if they lost, they will be 4th place, and worst case scenario they could be even dropping to 5th place right? I do not know if they look at the games between Frankfurt and Dortmund in that case, or if they look at goal difference, but the risk is there.

So Frankfurt has to get AT LEAST a tie game, and in case of a tie, Freiburg becomes 56 points, meaning that if Dortmund wins and Dortmund is playing Kiel, who already gone down so they will win, that means Dortmund becomes fourth place. That is going to help UCL chances, and Dortmund would make 30 or more million euro more. This is why we are going to see Dortmund try their hardest to win, and Freiburg will try too but Frankfurt is a huge team and Freiburg may fail.


The battle for the remaining two places on the table is definitely going to be hit battle this weekend, over the past two seasons now Dortmund have always been playing a very decisive last game of the season either as a tittle contender or pursuit for champions league football, just like last season I expect them to come out in the champions league, they simply need to win their game against Kiel with at least three goals ahead once they have this numbers I think anything that happens from the other game will not affect them.

If Frankfurt wins then it is automatic straight qualification for Dortmund with this result, also if it ends in Draw with same result for Dortmund as i predicted then both Dortmund and Frankfurt qualifies. Also if Freiburg wins, Frankfurt and Dortmund will be on same points and with Dortmund having more goal difference if their win is three goals ahead. So the qualification is right in the hands of Dortmund with Freiburg the team likely to go out of the top 4 in my opinion

I think I can be phrased that even better i mean like  full consensus multisig
if exactly we have "3-of-3" or "5-of-5 " where everyone is agrees
Like if I already set these 3 of 3 there after if anyone refuses then do I have a chance to remove and recover that's I want to knew weather legally or in any way

You cannot recover such wallet again if the total multi sig equals the number of co-signers because you need all actual co-signers from the set up to actually send out coins from that wallet. That’s why it is very bad to have such set up as a multi sig co-signers, and m-of-n multi sig wallet is the best so that if one co-signer gives problem or loses their wallets seed phrase you wouldn’t lose such wallets, best method is as I have stated before, do not go and use any script to adds co-signers just simply create a new multi sig wallet and move your funds their.

n-of-n is a poor multi sig wallet for group of people looking to store funds together.
3  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What happen if one of the people in my multiSig setup became a problem later? on: Today at 08:37:13 AM
You can’t simply just remove the person you will have to create a new multi sig account and then move your funds there.

This is 3-of-5 multisig so if the person is just one co-signer you still have four more co-signers left and the need co-signers to actually move transactions is three so such person who is a problem is simply not too much of a question because even if they try to actually move coins from such wallet the person will need the two more extra co-signers from the remain four to be able to do anything.

But for security you will need to create another multi sig again because you cannot remove a co-signer and add a new one AFAIK. You can easily your coins to the new wallet with the help of the remaining Co-signer

I saw this news yesterday and wanted sharing to the forum again, another form of hack on yet again another top exchange, sadly the victims which are coinbase customers will definitely be affected and find it hard to get out easily on this, they will be faced with multiple phishing attempts from scammers parading as coinbase supports and with card details now also leaked it might be worse.

What is the lesson that one needs to learn from here, first this hack definitely shows that majority of the hack that affects exchanges are most internal attacks and this simply means that any of your KYC details with them are definitely at risk just like your coins, so as long you don’t want your details out then avoid KYC exchanges
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25 on: May 15, 2025, 03:04:39 PM

No team in la Liga comes close to Barcelona's point apart form real Madrid that are even four points behind...The trophy belongs to Barcelona and there's no doubt about that..But if I'm going to place a bet on their game today against Espanol I would go with over 1.5 or 2.5 instead of giving them a straight win...They can win espanol easily but it's also possible for them to lose because they are already are the top, they don't really need this game as step up,  this is just my own idea on the game

Mathematically they still need this game because they haven’t won the league just yet, in my opinion this is the game they simply need to win the league with, they currently have four points ahead of Real Madrid with a game at hand, losing today’s game will still leave them four points ahead of Real Madrid but with two more games for both side that’s six valuable points which means mathematically there is still a slim chance for Real Madrid because the remaining two games which is against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao both looking to secure champions league spot, so Barcelona needs to end the league today with a win.

Espanyol on the other hand are just five points above relegation zone and a point here will help set them up for survival and we all know how fierce of rival they are with Barcelona, last time Barcelona won the league on their turf it caused a lot of pitch invasion and I think the little Catalonia club will want to prevent Barcelona from winning it again at their turf

Tottenham has the advantage of points from head to head matchups, while Man United has the advantage of experience. However, all of this will be useless if both teams do not perform according to the right strategy and tactics in the match. Therefore, the role of the coach is very important in the final, as is the factor of absent players. These are both keys to success in winning the title in this UEL. For now, we can only speculate because anything could happen. Both teams have other matches that could cause key players to get injured. It all depends on the coaches of Man United and Spurs.

Whatever happens in the league is much much different from what happens in the European competitions, the head to head this season already sees Tottenham Hotspur as the favourite but no body is gonna to see them favourite against a Manchester United side that has not lost a single game in this years competition and more so this is an European final and no matter how poor Manchester United usually are you don’t expect them to play poorly in a final, I have seen Manchester United beat Manchester City in a final last season when they were still poor. What Tottenham have right now is the hunger to actually end their trophy drought

Both clubs have seemingly looked like they have abandoned the premier league competition and are only focused on the Europa League, with the recent case of injuries they both have I don’t think the managers will be playing most of his top players in the remaining games. Both teams will be sacrificing everything for the final

Most of those kidnapped cases are attacks on people that made public their affiliation to crypto-currency, so this kidnappers are already aware of the type of person they are dealing with and also have a rough estimate of how much Bitcoin this guys have.
If you are into anything that requires you to make public your Crypto-currency affiliation it is best you actually have a strong security team or leave in place with less security threats.

This is definitely the truth, these people can seemingly get kidnapped no two ways about it because someone cannot be a billionaire and it doesn’t shows that such person is a rich fellow, but once you see the kidnappers ask of bitcoin as ransom then be rest assured that they did there research so well that they new such person possess it, take for example the news shared by OP is about an crypto exchange CEO reasons why they ask for bitcoin which is more like a traditional bank CEO definitely such person is a high figure and in a country which isn’t secured its best to actually get extra security.

My only advice to some Nigerian crypto investors is the how they leave off flashy lifestyle on social media, this is one way which I think most of them might get affected with security issues, flaunting crypto assets is now a norm for most Nigerian crypto investors

I guess you need to make consider if your exchange you are using is allowed to support your country because if yes for sure they will offer a services that might support with your direct buy of p2p with your fiat currency into a crypto in a easy way, could be a digital wallet or banks you can see that with their features of p2p or deposits. But be careful with the P2P does not mean that you are with the exchange platform its safe still there are some people right there doing scams, personally I'm not fan of it so instead I will find a local app into my country to use from fiat to crypto and then transfer again.

The thing is when your country has a restriction on bitcoin and cryptocurrency you become extra careful and one of the worst set of platforms during this period are the local platforms, yes they allow the direct swap from any coin to your fiat and vice versa but they usually have a very poor support and most of the time when they lockup your funds inside there is absolutely no where for you to go and complain, its Same reason why people in such countries hardly engage in physical P2P either . What is more popular is usually the P2P on top centralized exchanges which although not 100% safe from scam too but at least you can open appeal case and possibly get your funds.

What I will advice OP is there is nothing much to do due to your country’s restrictions rather just continue to use those exchanges but filter out those vendors by ratings and successful trades completed and also do not use P2P when you’re in a haste have some fiat and use the platform at a comfort period so as to avoid been hasty while making deals

Honestly,  i don't really care on which team to win UCL, but inter may be better. They're now being underestimated compared to the PSG, but the gap is pretty small. We got 2.30 for them compared 1.65 for PSG. It's quite small considering the gap is less than 1, but still be careful to fight PSG, which is a solid team now.
Inter is good defensively, but they still have some loopholes remain. Their games against Bareclona showed how their defensive is still literally poor.

They have to ensure they will able to fully fixed their problems before the game against PSG. Their loopholes can be easily explored by PSG if they still played like they did against Barcelona.

They have to target PSG's winner to kill opponent's movement. I hope inzaghi will put a lot of focus onto this.

Yet again Inter Milan been utterly underestimated by bookmarkers because of how they play, 1.65 is definitely too far from 2.30 that’s a whole lots 0.75 difference, the only difference I was expecting to see was nothing more than 0.4 between this two. Inter Milan might look weak in their domestic league over the past few weeks but frankly speaking I had them favourites since they were in the semifinals, my reason as to why they are favourite is simply because they actually didn’t play same pattern of football like the rest of the others, it is all round possession football been played by most of the clubs like PSG and Barcelona, and if you look for a game that frustrates this kind of team it is people playing low blocks like inter Milan.

I am not saying PSG are not exceptional but yet again they are simply just like Barcelona in my eyes although with a better defensive set up but last time PSG played against a team that uses low block was the game against Liverpool who were not at their best and yet PSG had to use penalties against them to advance, this is an Inter Milan team that plays this football better than Liverpool so my odds are PSG 1.65 and Inter Milan 1.9 and I am tipping Inter Milan to win

It just goes to show that even if you think things are getting safer these scammers are always figuring out new ways to steal your stuff. You really gotta watch every single link you click especially in those Discord and Telegram groups. Its wild how persistent they are honestly..


This is the reality of life, criminals will always find way to actually go pass security checks because it’s what they do and best we can do is to simply keep doing our own bit, this inferno drainer through discord has actually been up again for a little time, the easiest target are those airdrop testnets hunters who are mostly having communities on discord, this scammers usually creates phishing links in form of airdrop reward claim link and let naive hunters claim through this link and after signing the bots takes everything. This time around the bots are sophisticatedly built that they even unstake the users staked assets on that wallet. I have read of multiple people complaining of this on both X and Discord.

My advice has always been try as much as possible to make your holding wallet to be a cold wallet and that’s the only way you’re safe. I am not against airdrops but try to use burner wallets for that, one can never be too careful.

Normalize the use of cold wallets
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $200k still possible for $BTC this year? on: May 14, 2025, 03:50:25 PM
I doubt BTC will reach $200k this year. It might get to $140k to $150k, but I doubt $200k. I believe we're at the last phase of the bull run, and from now until Q4, I don't think Bitcoin can reach $200k.
For Bitcoin to get to $200k this year, a lot of positive news needs to happen. For example, the talks of the Bitcoin reserve can become really serious. If a country like the US or other top countries like China agree to a bitcoin reserve and state when they will start buying, that could increase the demand for bitcoin.

If you’re talking about the months that is remain for bitcoin to actually go to $200k this year I think that the months are enough to actually flip just that, we are only in the fifth month and basically have about seven months left for the year, a super bullish market can do that in just next five months, remember when the market got hyped during the bitcoin ETF approval Saga and it did pumped really then I think bitcoin in the past can still do that number. More so bitcoin had an impressive up price of +15% just in April alone, if it can do numbers like that then it can definitely go get there.

But personally my realistic prediction is bitcoin is not getting to that price because bitcoin is seriously not going to be volatile as in the past more so a quick pump to prices like $150k will result in two some holders taking profit just like we experienced after a six figure was achieved and once this happens it will causes corrections towards the last quarter of the year there by stopping the growth to $200k

I have read from some of the articles online that he is not planning to give money to his offspring but probably wants them to help themselves instead of just relying on his fortune. Anyway, that is definitely his legacy, and that's probably on his mind already. I hope it works out for the best and that fund helps a lot of people.

Most of the time one thing I have noticed is that this people that are actually taking a second though of giving out their inheritance to charity instead of their family are mostly not just doing it for their philanthropic being but rather they are mostly doing it out of actually protecting their wealth from either been wasted or squandered in an unworthy cause. For Bill Gate it could be that he must be thinking that the family already has something that can keep them in shape even after his death and would rather give it back to the community where it came from.

Another could be because they have rift with their Kins which are supposedly going to inherit their wealth and instead they wish not to have it in their possession example is the legendary Movie Actor Jackie Chan who has also said his Son who was reportedly into drugs will not be inheriting his wealth because he feels he would waste it.

Some others build charity foundations to evade taxes and stuffs like that

It seems on the day to day basis the number of attacks increasing related into crypto stealing, this is the reason why stay anonymous as possible to stay vigilant but on that case their father is a known person and one of the  prior target of the attacker are the people around them I guess its good if they increase the number of security every time they go into a day to day basis, its sad reality they cant enjoy the life anymore because of the risk of their life with the possible instances like this. So imagine a large name person and the attacker have the courage to do this imagine that we are just a small name person who are starting in crypto even though its not big as like them but have a potential risk on our life.

We need to understand that this crimes have been here for a very long time and they will continue to be it has nothing to do with cryptocurrency because they have been attacks like this involving Fiat and people haven’t called out the fiat but once it is a cryptocurrency related issue we simply call out crypto and say it just found it self into this mix because criminals will be criminals and they will look for ways to aid their operations.

The other reason why we might be reading of criminal attacks using cryptocurrency is the fact that many instead of utilizing the anonymity that comes from using bitcoin many actually just go and flaunt their holdings and that’s why criminals are now focus here. Hopefully people too can protect themselves by adhering to security measures
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 13, 2025, 02:56:20 PM

Ancelotti should have done what you said and I totally agree with that. Arda Guller was rarely played despite Ancelotti's reasoning for what he did to show how fierce the competition was for a place in the main line-up.
Camavinga often plays in the defender position even though there are other players whose main position is in defense.
I look forward to seeing Xabi Alonso's ingenuity at Real Madrid as a coach.

Ancelloti had his own tactics and one thing I notice is that he doesn’t like to trust or should we use a kinder word of he doesn’t want to rush the younger players into the first team. The likes of Arder Guler, Endrick, Ibrahim Diaz were in the shadow because of this, even Raul Acensio got the advantage of actually playing due to the number of injury crisis the team had. We can say that Real Madrid players weren’t at their best because of injuries or form but there was some games were I feel Ancelloti let them down. Like most of the el Classico games.

Alonso will tactically upgrade this team in my opinion because he seems to use a pattern that favours the young players more and that is what Real Madrid need at the moment
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: TRUMP: 2025 Bitcoin's price will be $200,000. on: May 13, 2025, 02:48:20 PM
Third or fourth quarter might still be bullish but we do not know yet until we are getting closer to that time. If bitcoin can move to around $139000 - $150000 early, the bear market may be very soon. It will be a period of highly massive price increase and which will be followed by price decrease. It may be in the third or forth quarter is my guess. But if it is in the third quarter, that means the bull run lwill ast up till their quarter. If it is in the fourth quarter, that means the bull market will be until the forth quarter. Just like in 2021, the bear market started in December which followed ATH, although it was pronounced bear market in 2022. Or maybe the bear market can be given a well define definition as to when the price fall begin in respect to when the price is no more rising as it should be.

Yes I agree with that if we get a huge price pump early say we get to above $150k before the last two quarter then I will say the market will most definitely dump in the third quarter, but the market will rise again in the forth quarter due to how many people see the fourth quarter as bullish period but the market might have his ATH already set in the second quarter if it did a quick run to $150k this quarter, we all saw how we got a new ATH before bitcoin halving last year and instead of the market to pump after that we saw correction instead.

So I agree that we can see the fourth quarter been bearish similar to when the market set an ATH in November 2021 and the price only ranger or should I say started falling in December. And yes I think the bearish or bullish tag should be when the dip or pump starts like now we have been in bull run since last year
16  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Are we now in the bullrun on: May 13, 2025, 02:33:27 PM
I do hear of bullrun but have never experienced it before because one was not acquainted with the knowledge of crypto then, and prior to this time I've been hearing that this year is a bull year, could it be that this upward trend in the price of Bitcoin is an indication of a bullrun, please drop your opinion so we all can learn and know how to navigate the market.

A little explanation bull run is a long period of the bitcoin price going up although it doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be market correction but over a long period of the time the price is overall pumping, during this period there is usually new ATH been created due to constant pumping of the market. One of the catalyst that indicates bull run arrival is the halving period which took place last year April. Why many are saying this year is a bull run year is because the year after the halving year is usually a bullish year and that’s why the narrative is all round the space.

Are we in bull run or about to get there I will say the entire market since after the halving has been bullish with two new ATH already set just that the market has actually had it’s correction. The market overall over the past year has been up to 60% which indicates bullishness just that we have had a correction in the first quarter of this year already but the market seems to back with the month of April alone gas risen by 16% so the market is much back but overall we have been in the bull run since after the halving occurred
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: TRUMP: 2025 Bitcoin's price will be $200,000. on: May 13, 2025, 02:14:58 PM
I don't think the price of Bitcoin in 2025 will exceed $200,000,
especially after it has already exceeded a $2 trillion market cap.
because the market doesn't have enough buying power to push it higher.
I hope my prediction is wrong. Wake me up after 160 days.


I don’t think there is no enough buying power of bitcoin just because the capitalization is hitting 2 trillion dollars rather it is the volatility that will actually reduce. There is something notice from this current market cycle that Altcoins are supposed to start their rally right after the ATH of bitcoin and during its correction period because the dominance is supposed to reduce but bitcoin dominance is increasing everyday as many people are now switching from the narrative of gambling their money on alts to safe coins like bitcoin which means except there is a bad economic crisis bitcoin buying power wouldn’t be that reduced.


I think bitcoin is not going above $150000 though but just because after we get to that price, some people may sell and that could be the start of bear market in 3rd or 4th quarter of this year.

My bitcoin prediction is between $140k to $180k, so $150k is well within our prediction range but I don’t see the market actually going bearish in the last quarter of the. Although this particular cycle isn’t moving exactly as the past as such we can be in correction or consolidation phase in the third quarter but I predict the fourth quarter to be bullish base on historical trend and that might even be when we will get our ATH for this cycle and then next year will be bearish entirely
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Michael Saylor Keeps Buying Bitcoin on: May 12, 2025, 10:54:22 PM
Where does the funding come from for all this buying? Over 13,000 institutions and 800,000 retail accounts
are holding MSTR stock and convertible notes. That shows a huge amount of demand for bitcoin.

For clarification means Microstrategy seems to have many different options of raising funds to buy bitcoin with the latest information been that he sold some common or preferred stock and it’s likes to actually purchase bitcoin. The funding of all this bitcoin purchases which were in the past coming from some loans are not totally from selling off the institutional convertible bonds last sell was around last quarter of the year 2024 which is a clear indication that the company is using that amount to DCA into bitcoin with the interval between this buying.

The CEO who had clearly said they will continue buying bitcoin is actually proving that but constantly moving from this stocks to bitcoin, when they will sell next is where the big news should be about not the repeated buying news cycle
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 12, 2025, 04:38:15 PM

Napoli should be able to win the trophy this season, but it all depends on the results of the two remaining matches. The competition with Inter will last until the last match, Inter will have a chance if Napoli does not play well in the next match. Inter's mistake was also when they lost two consecutive matches against Roma and Bologna. And they still have matches against Lazio and Como that they cannot underestimate. The match that also determines the Serie A trophy is right before the Champions League final. Inter must focus on both.

I wanted Napoli to actually loss the game against Genoa because i seriously wanted this season title to be decided over a final and not the table so that it can be the first of its kind, but the draw still keeps Napoli in superior command because there remaining matches might be much easier than that of Inter Milan. Napoli take on Parma who still are not free from relegation as they are just four points off the drop and with a possible of six points left this season the worst can still happen so I believe they will simply be going all out to get even a draw to secure safety before the final game of the season.

 As for Inter Milan they will be up against champions league spot hunters Lazio who haven’t lost their last five matches but have drawn as much as three from them, any point dropped in this game might be crucial for their success and I think both teams sadly need to win to keep their season target still alive, sadly a draw is also bad for both teams so the league might yet be decided before the last game.

Or maybe we can have just the last twist of the season where Napoli losses to Parma and Inter Milan draws Lazio

I thought nothing would come of it, but here it is Ancelotti is taking over Brazil. What do you think, how far can he go in the upcoming WC? If everything falls into place, he could be the main favorite to win.

This was never debatable because since the Brazilian interest in him I know the federation will wait to get their man and with him reluctant about getting sacked at Real Madrid I already knew he will be heading to the record world champions. Frankly speaking Carlo Ancelloti is taking up a job much bigger than when he arrived at Real Madrid for the second time. The Brazil national team we knew are a reckon to go against but for the last decade this team are simply a shadow of themselves and seriously do not look like any real contenders. This again is also a job different with the regular ones he has managed because he can’t get access to players like he used to in club side and that might affect his tactics.

Also I don’t agree that Brazil can be near anything favorite at the moment, I can name at least five nations having a better chance at any tournament than the Samba boys, Ancelloti simply needs to bring the spirit back and see how through they can go, this group or player seriously need orientation but I trust Ancelloti to give out his best.


This is a serious challenge Xabi Alonso will forget all the intelligence he has.
Xabi Alonso not only coaches like a club but Xabi also coaches demands with a high level of prestige.
We just wish Xabi Alonso success at the Santiago Bernabeu. At least he can still be and deserves to be considered an intelligent person.

One thing I find interesting in the coming of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid is the fact that he will put much of the players in place. This set of Real Madrid players have enjoyed way far too pampering by Ancelloti and needed a modern manager to put them at place, although Xabi Alonso is so much friendly he has this toughness in him that can put some of this top players into position. Also he is tactically at the moment better in my opinion than Ancelloti and that’s something the club needs now
