1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2026/2027 on: September 12, 2026, 07:12:49 PM
It remains undeniable that Chelsea continue to play so poorly despite the squad they have; perhaps Xabi Alonso hasn’t yet found the right balance in the team, or perhaps he isn’t the manager he proved himself to be at Bayer Leverkusen, or perhaps things simply went well when he was managing in Germany. I also think it would have done him good to play for another mid table side (like Fabregas) before moving to a top club like Chelsea or Real Madrid.
Chelsea is playing poorly, even it seems right against a newly promoted side, they failed to deliver a performance befitting an experienced team. However I had anticipated that Chelsea might not secure an easy victory over Hull City, given that the latter had kicked off their Premier League campaign by defeating Manchester United 2-0 in their opening match. We had expected Chelsea to make significant strides under their new manager, yet the midfield has weakened considerablyespecially after the sale of their best midfielder to Manchester City.

The key point is that Chelsea took an early lead against Arsenal but ended up losing the match; similarly, today too, they went ahead against 
Hull City with a goal in just the seventh minute but, if you look closely, Hull City did not lose heart; they played with great determination and shared the points with Chelsea in their fourth match.

Crypto security is not only about protecting your private keys but you also have to protect yourself as the person who owns those key because you might be the only one who has the access to it and there is no benefit in having a secure wallet if your lifestyle is constantly exposing you to unnecessary danger and I mostly agree with the part about not advertising your investments and you don’t have to call yourself a btc boy or tell people you are a trader or investor just to prove you are also doing something like that, most at times being a silent man is actually the best, the less unnecessary attention you attract to your finances, the fewer reasons you give the wrong person to become interested in you.
Crypto security is not just about keeping your wallet's seed secure because I think that cryptocurrency or Bitcoin investors should be anonymous. In fact the number of crypto range attacks is increasing at the moment, as evidenced by the fact that four people in Mexico were killed due to a Bitcoin cold wallet suspected of containing 1.5 million dollars.

There are also other examples such as Malon Lam from Singapore who committed a huge crypto robbery in the United States. Basically, they used to steal confidential information from users through fraud and even raided the homes of investors to get details like emptying wallets. So at this point, it is clear that if we want to invest in cryptocurrency, we all have to invest in complete secrecy and avoid spreading the Bitcoin we have to everyone.
3  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Trezor hardware wallet shipping service system information has been leaked. on: September 11, 2026, 04:18:56 PM
As the OP mentioned, the data of about 13,689 users was leaked in the previous month. However, you are right that the leaked data does not give access to the wallet but it is still a concern because no one wants their personal information to be leaked and in fact this number is gradually increasing. Note that the company mentioned that they requested Shipmonk to delete the data but the data has not been deleted from Shipmonk's system yet, so i think everyone should be aware of the fake emails and the risks.

67,000 more Americans using Trezor exposed to data breach https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/67-000-more-americans-using-162219534.html

With this leak that has happened, there is a high probability of wrench attack happening. Scammers don’t also fear coming in contact with their victims as long as they can get what they want. To have ordered for an hardware wallet, it means that you own some coins that you want to save there. This information leaked is already a red flag and you can be targeted via phishing attacks or wrench attacks.

Every information linked to customers are sensitive ones that are not supposed to be exposed especially that which has to do with wallets that is used to save bitcoin. There should be a way deliveries can be done discreetly without saving these users personal information aimlessly for a possible breach like this one in the future.
Yes, all the information related to the wallet used to store Bitcoin is sensitive and should not be disclosed, but I have noticed that about 80,000 plus usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and shipping addresses have been leaked from the Trezor hardware wallet, it seems to us through which hackers may be able to hack into the Bitcoins held by Bitcoin holders.

The evidence of this is that the system of the third-party email service provider of the Trezor wallet has currently been compromised and they have stated that the email titled 'Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability' was not sent by them; it is basically a phishing or fraudulent attempt, so those of us who are using this wallet in this local board should not enter this fraudulent link.

Mourinho style of play isn't really about possessive football but rather their fast counter attacking ability and it has worked for them so well even as they don't have the ball that much. Real Madrid already being two goals ahead is a major decider of who probably winning the match already because I don't see Inter Milan coming back to score two goals or even one with the way they are playing now.
Inter Milan showed a shameful performance in the first match of this season's UEFA Champions League but I thought that in today's match, Real Madrid, under the leadership of their new manager Jose Mourinho, would be able to play attacking football in the first match of the UCL this season. You should notice that today, in just the 14th minute, the French player scored to give this team the lead, and after that, in the 23rd minute, Uruguayan midfielder Valverde scored another goal to double the lead, back then we predicted that the current Italian league champions would not be able to score a goal against Madrid in today's UCL match but the Brazilian player managed to score a goal for this team.

Everyone may have noticed that Inter Milan was ahead in possession and attack in today's match, but they wasted many chances in this match, which resulted in them not being able to draw in the first match of this UCL season.
6  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What made people trust Bitcoin enough to keep using it for 17 years? on: September 08, 2026, 08:35:28 PM
People trust Bitcoin because of its decentralization, security and transparency and I believe that this currency was created by Satoshi to protect all investors from the trap of fiat currencies in their country. Many are also using Bitcoin for daily transactions because Bitcoin is able to give everyone financial freedom as evidenced by the fact that we can transact from anywhere and keep this currency in our wallet without the intervention of a third party.

In fact due to its popularity worldwide, institutional adoption and acting as a hedge against inflation, many investors in our country, Nigeria, consider it as a store of value and patiently hold Bitcoin for the long term in the hope of earning large profits.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 08, 2026, 07:27:35 PM
Seeing Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund or Bayer Leverkusen in the top positions of the standings has become commonplace, but what if those positions were filled by teams that were previously unimaginable?

That is what is happening right now in the Bundesliga, take a look at the following image:



Augsburg & SV Elversberg have emerged as surprise teams early this season, particularly SV Elversberg, given that they are a newly promoted side. Is it possible for Premier League fairytale to happen in the Bundesliga?
To be honest only two matches have been played in the German league this season but we have noticed that the average teams are already at the top of the points table. Because Augsburg, newly promoted team SV Elversberg and Borussia Dortmund are at the top of the points table and have won two matches in a row.

Although Borussia Dortmund has performed well in the German league matches, I think they will face a very tough test today in the first match of the UEFA Champions League. At the moment, it seems that the 16th minute of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal in the first match of the UEFA Champions League has already passed but Borussia Dortmund is behind in the attack in this exciting match, Borussia Dortmund may try to win this UCL match against Villarreal with their best performance today at their home ground.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2026/2027 ⚽ on: September 08, 2026, 06:25:42 PM


The Inter Milan vs Napoli match was exciting. Napoli were a strong opponent, but the game Inter Milan showed in the last minute was really surprising. Marcus Thuram scored a great goal in the 82nd minute, and then kept attacking at the very last minute to turn the match around, Lautaro Martínez scored another goal in the 91st minute, and won the match with 3 goals.
I initially expected this match to be a draw, because Napoli is a good team in Serie A, they were also great in the previous season, it can be said that Napoli and Inter Milan are the biggest rivals in the last 2 seasons, and so I expected this match to be a draw, but Milan changed the match at the last minute.
That's why Inter is the defending champions. They came from two goals down and ended up winning it 3-2. What an outstanding performance from the champions as they didn't relent or gave up until, Martinez scored the last goal to give Inter the lead and wrap up their victory.

It's been a while, since Inter won Napoli and that yoke was broken today. What an interesting second half with five goals and the first half couldn't produce any goal.
Inter Milan showed a very attacking performance in their third match of the new season's Italian league as we all noticed that there was a lot of competition in the first half, but after the break, the visiting team Napoli scored first, in fact, this team was able to score two goals in just three minutes. Even then, the host team Inter Milan became much more aggressive in their own home as in my opinion their team's Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez was able to score a double and the French player was able to score one goal.

It can be said without a doubt that both teams played artistic football after the break as they scored five goals in the second half. By the way, even though Inter Milan won against Napoli, they will have to face a tough test tonight in the new season's UEFA Champions League match where their opponent will be the very experienced Real Madrid so it seems to us it may not be easy for the current Serie A champions to win this UCL match.

~snip
Bitcoin security is more important than owning it, especially when its a significant amount. You can exemplify it as a house filled with valuable items but no security to guide it, that would be mismanagement as it would only be a matter of time before thieves creep in.

Many people are focused on accumulating more Bitcoin but would that be the ultimate approach for long term investment? It's high time bitcoiners prioritize security at the highest level, it should not be an option at any point, it should be mandatory that new security advancement are put in place to keep assets safer.
Yes, security is more important than owning Bitcoin because even after depositing a large amount of Bitcoin, many people are not able to keep their Bitcoin wallet safe. So it is clear that we should prioritize security even before depositing a small amount of Bitcoin because we have noticed that four people were killed in the case of Bitcoin hardware wallet robbery.

Indeed the incident centered on a cold storage device in Mexico that held about 1.5 million Bitcoins, proving that storing Bitcoins may not be completely safe because it is risky to tell anyone. It is true those who are investing with a long-term mindset, I think they should remain anonymous and store Bitcoin safely, which will reduce the chances of Bitcoin being stolen or hacked.

I do not see the defeat as a big deal, winning and losing are part of the game. But how did they lose this match? The defeat at home against a team that had a negative GD last season and finished eighth with 1/3 (of the total points of the season) points was unbelievable. The defeat was not at all acceptable, but rather a very bad match. They should apologize to the fans for such a defeat,
Al Hilal has performed well in the last five matches of this new SPL, but they played very poorly against Neom. You should note that last season this team was in eighth place and they are trying to dominate since the early stages of the 2026/27 SPL season because they have already won four matches, so this team seems to be strong too.

Besides Al Hilal was in second place last season with 84 points but if this team could have given their best performance in today's match at home and were much stronger in attack then maybe they would have been able to win this game against Neom. In fact Al Hilal team had a lot of depth as they had former Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli in their team and other top players but they could not win. So we can assume that it will be difficult for the top clubs to win the SPL title this season.
11  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to trade Bitcoin in a volatile market on: September 08, 2026, 02:49:46 PM
This is post for those that have already have some knowledge on how the market moves and stuff , the truth is that if you don’t have any knowledge on how trading works stay away from it  , if you go with your halfsize knowledge you are going to messed yourself up.

This is the reason many complain that trading is not good and stuff , because they are not trading with the right knowledge, treading not like other skill because having the strategy alone won’t save you also have to be mentally prepared too .

Very good advise cause some people could take the OP's explanations seriously and want to explore without having proper understanding of the market, success isn't guaranteed even for those who really know what they're doing talk more of those who doesn't, but it's better to know cause someone who understands the market would be in good position to properly manage the risk.

Trading is very risky that's why it also need properly risk management skills and if someone doesn't know how to implement those skills in his or her trade then there would be too many lose than gain.
Trading is very risky because I think it requires strict mental discipline, proper strategy and more education. The reality of trading is that it is easy to imagine because many people think that buying low and selling high is trading, but the biggest obstacle to profit from the initial stage is emotion and not making the right decisions. At this stage, we can undoubtedly assume that the steps to succeed in trading are learning, analyzing and practicing.

Actually through this forum or various articles, the inexperienced will be able to learn about this subject and through analysis, they will be able to understand charts and technical analysis. Also, through practice, it seems to me the inexperienced will be able to increase their level of experience by practicing on a demo account, as a result of which they will be able to make profits from trading later.
12  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why Bitcoin Addresses Should Not Be Reused The Privacy and Security Risks on: September 07, 2026, 09:00:33 PM
Definitely privacy should be given importance to keep Bitcoin safe but that does not mean that an address cannot be reused for continuous use or holding Bitcoin. See, even if Bitcoin is continuously deposited in an address, its total balance and transaction history increase a lot, hackers may not be able to hack it easily because I think if the wallet seed phrase or private key is not shared with anyone, hackers may not be able to attack easily. So to keep the wallet safe, you should also know these things such as phishing links and scams.

In fact hackers can send various fake tokens by looking at your wallet address on the blockchain, and to transfer that token, they will take you to a fake website and ask you to connect the wallet, so we should all be careful. Also, smart contact permission;  No transactions can be approved after connecting the wallet to an unfamiliar website. At this point, it can be said that knowing the wallet address does not mean being hacked, but if everyone is careful, they will easily be able to keep their Bitcoin savings safe in the long term.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 07, 2026, 07:54:48 PM
Al Hilal is currently losing 0:2 to Neom in the first half. Can they overturn the result in the second half? Maybe it's only Al Nassr that can make a 2:0 comeback and still win but let's see what Al Hilal can do in this match because if they lose and Al Nassr wins their next match they might top the league table depending on who will have the higher goals difference.

Hope Al Nassr and Al Hilal are not planning to repeat what they were doing last season, because when Al Nassr drops points, Al Hilal will also follow and drop points and that was how both teams were switching the top of the league table until Al Nassr finally won the league title.
After winning five consecutive matches, Al Hilal is on the verge of defeat today. In fact, we never imagined that this team would play so poorly against Neom team. Anyway in the sixth match of the new season's SPL, after Al Hilal scored an own goal in the 15th minute, the Neom team scored another goal as a result, it became very difficult for the team that was the runner-up last season to equalize this match.

To be honest Al Hilal had reached the top of the points table, so many of us imagined that they might not win the title last season, but they would win the title this season. But they are struggling to win against a weak team even with a strong XI. Neom made a great comeback after losing two consecutive matches and they were able to defeat Al Hilal, the top club in the SPL.
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Since we discovered bitcoin, it has changed the way we see Bank note in Nigeria on: September 07, 2026, 07:14:13 PM
Bitcoin has definitely become a much better asset than gold. If I were to speak for myself, I would definitely say that I would put more money in Bitcoin and my second choice would be gold. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and even in the case of long-term investment, there is a possibility of profit and there is a possibility of loss. So I would prefer to spread my assets. For example, 40% in Bitcoin and 30% in gold and the remaining 30% I would prefer to keep in fiat currency or in dollars.

Although every investment is very good, if there is any kind of bad effect, I will not face a big loss. Because if I cannot profit from Bitcoin, then I will definitely be able to profit from gold.
Bitcoin has undoubtedly become a better asset than gold and I think that since the invention of Bitcoin, people’s perspective on money has changed especially in our country Nigeria because Bitcoin is being chosen as a hedge against high inflation and it gives financial freedom to all users.

However you have diversified your portfolio which is also a good strategy in terms of investment because we should not spend all our money in just one investment but should also invest in gold or other investments and even keep some money in fiat currency or dollars. In fact many people may have been comfortable keeping their savings in Naira but those who understand Bitcoin are now investing that money in Bitcoin so it can be said that Bitcoin has changed the way we save money.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 07, 2026, 06:01:18 PM
The club's biggest signing was £ 125m-worth Alexander Isak. Injuries were his biggest undoing last season, as he played few games. From the few games this season, it is looking like the real Isak has just arrived at Liverpool. Three goals in three games and an outstanding display against Ipswich Town might be a sign that he is not a wasted investment.

The test of a good coach is their ability to maximize available resources and get good results. Iraola would have to manage the available players and get the expected outcome.
Liverpool's biggest signing last season was Alexander Isak as we all noticed when they signed the player from Newcastle for around £125 million but this player did not perform well for Liverpool last season. Similarly in the current era, we have seen this team once again sign Bradley Barkola from Paris Saint-Germain for a record fee of around £123 million.

Anyway despite signing the best players, Liverpool are currently sixth in the Premier League points table this new season as maybe everyone has noticed this  they have won just one of their three matches, however in the last match, Alexander Isak was able to score two goals against Ipswich Town, as a result of which the team was able to easily win that match.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premiere League [EPL] Transfer & Speculation Discussion Thread on: September 07, 2026, 05:19:23 PM
Most football fans are talking about the porous defense of Chelsea, but I think that their biggest problem lies in midfield where they are very short in manpower and in quality. Yesterday against arsenal, they finished the game with two right back playing as a midfielder, in the persons of James and gusto, and caceido that is their most reliable midfielder is out injured, so that was the main reason things were very easy for arsenal yesterday, because this Chelsea team was totally different from the Chelsea team Chelsea, arsenal always beat, and they seems much stronger than other times, it's only this their poor midfield that let them down,  but regardless of that, I was really impressed with Chelsea's overalls performance yesterday.
But Arsenal still beat them even though, they're different from last season. Until, Chelsea starts winning Arsenal before I will say that the squad depth have really improved. Chelsea scored first on the early minutes but Arsenal didn't allow that to bother them instead, it motivated them to play with all seriousness and composure. Arsenal is the champions and they let Chelsea know that yesterday.
Chelsea have lost two of their best players, which is why we can see that the depth of the team is not increasing, and there are many weaknesses in the defense and midfield of this team. Honestly, if the PL club Chelsea can eliminate their defense and midfield weaknesses, then maybe this team will be able to beat a club like Arsenal.

Chelsea started the match yesterday with a great start, so we thought they would dominate and win the match, but Arsenal did not get upset and performed with strong morale and determination, and they showed Chelsea that they deserve to be champions this season. Even yesterday, in their third match at Arsenal's home ground, Chelsea's attack and possession were also behind, which is why I noticed that they lost that match despite a great performance in the beginning.
17  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The danger of using online trading signals, for traders. on: September 07, 2026, 04:46:32 PM
As a beginner trader the moment you start relying on trading signals you are going to start having problems when you start getting into trading and the reason why is because of the level of experience, the more you always depend on others to trade for you there's no way you can get the experience that you need to actually become a profitable trader. Another downside of depending on trading signals is that you might get scammed easily.
As a new trader, you should never rely on online trading signals because there is a risk of losing capital. In fact I am discussing the fact that online trading signals should not be used by an inexperienced trader. The false claim of 100% accuracy, the lack of development of one's own skills, that is, if someone relies on other people's signals, he may not learn to analyze the market.

There will also be incorrect risk management, late signals, and mental stress and anger. So, I think everyone should create a mindset of learning trading through a demo account instead of relying on online trading signals, which will increase experience and increase the possibility of making profits from trading.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 06, 2026, 07:51:20 PM
PSG's performance at the beginning of every season is very ordinary, even with criticism. In the Champions League, they do not seem to be a strong team at the beginning. But whenever difficult times come, PSG shines. They can be seen performing strongly from the knockout stage in the Champions League and in the last 10-15 rounds of matches in Ligue 1. In the matches before that, they can be seen swaying like a drunk.

The first three matches were certainly disappointing and critical, but they have not failed yet. I believe that they will be the Ligue 1 champion again and will show their strength in the Champions League as well. But I do not expect the Champions League title in any way.
PSG's performance at the beginning of this season has been terrible, in fact, we never imagined that this team would go three games without a win. After winning the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons and winning the most French league titles, everyone expected them to start every season with a bang. I think Monaco have started the French league this season with a bang as they managed to beat an experienced club like PSG 2-1 in their last match, which has put them at the top of the points table. PSG have not been able to win against any team in Ligue 1 this season even with their strongest XI, but this team might be able to win the first match of the upcoming UEFA Champions League.
19  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Security is more important than the high price of Bitcoin. on: September 06, 2026, 07:04:30 PM
The recent hacks and scams is making everyone talk about security of bitcoin often, this is good as we shouldn’t just focus on accumulating and accumulating without securing our portfolio tightly.
Yes due to recent hacking and scams, many inexperienced people in our local board are often talking about the security of Bitcoin, in fact they are interested in knowing about the security of their Bitcoin holdings from the initial stage. Currently, it is seen that the information of Trezor user members has been leaked again, that is, the information of 67 thousand US users has been leaked again, however hardware wallets have been hacked before as well. Basically if investors are able to gain knowledge about the security of their wallets from the initial stage, then it seems to us maybe they will be able to store them safely even if they deposit less amount because they will be able to avoid being cheated by hackers.

At this stage it seems as the price of Bitcoin increases, billions of Bitcoins can be lost due to hacking, scams and improper storage of private keys at the individual level, so it is undoubtedly true that we can say that even if we invest in Bitcoin, they should be kept safe, that is, stored in a cold wallet.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premiere League [EPL] Transfer & Speculation Discussion Thread on: September 06, 2026, 06:16:44 PM
Well, Chelsea will definitely be happy to sell him on Real Madrid because at least he wouldn't be facing to his own team for every single month like now it will make them more disappointed to see him in rivals jersey but I think the relation between him and the club are not even in good shape and I think this the reason behind his departure.....

Besides the regarding through Real Madrid I will tell you that still I don't find any reason why Real Madrid lose interest in him although he is an extraordinary player and Real Madrid also need such quality players but still they lose the interest in him. Maybe due to high price demand like maybe  Chelsea high demands draged them into this situation.
The Chelsea midfielder has already joined Manchester City And I noticed that Manchester City have added this player to their team for a price of around 125 million euros and this player has already made his debut against the Coventry team. However Spain's best midfielder Rodri has left Manchester City, which has led the Premier League side to buy the player to strengthen their midfield.

In fact you may have noticed that Manchester City were able to secure the player despite Chelsea demanding a high price for him. Chelsea are definitely weakening because we previously noted that Madrid bought one of the best defenders in this team, Cucurella, for around sixty million euros and And it currently appears that the team's best midfielder, Enzo Fernandez, has joined the City club.
