1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: Today at 10:22:44 AM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
As of today, if you're specifically referring to Bitcoin, I'll say that it should buy buy and buy again, provided that you have the funds to do so, it's price as of today is $61k plus, it has been hovering between $58k and $64k,  and if compering to the $150k that most people are speculating to be the peak price in bull run, then today is still a good time to keep buying. Investors that have come this far to start selling doesn't make Bitcoin sense, except they're inexperienced about how Bitcoin seasons works. DCA remains the best method to stay focused on hodling.

That's just it bro, yesterday opportunity might have been missed, but today is another opportunity to buy Bitcoin, I believe that we are still one of the early adopters, so buying more Bitcoin now is a big win for us on the longer run, and we just have to know this about Bitcoin, we can not be successful if we are not a long term investor, if as a person you are only thinking between now and the end of this year, then you are a trader too me, because you buy and once it appreciate in value a little bit, you sell, and to build a generational wealth, you don't do it that way, you need to have accumulated a very good stash of Bitcoin through the DCA accumulating strategy, while holding strong for like 5 - 10 year, if you can do that, you will always be grateful too yourself for making the right decision.

So in essence is that, if you have still not buy Bitcoin or still lacking behind in your accumulating journey, it will be best for you to keep pushing in the right direction, which is buying more and more Bitcoin , so that you won't miss out in the quest to build a generational wealth.

My people I dey greet una, abeg make una no vex for this my post. Na something wey just happen to me today I come say make I carry come here as e fit help other newbies like me. If post like this don already exists abeg make una let me know so I can delete this one. My fellow newbies abeg before we send our crypto to any exchange, make we do well to check the minimum deposit well before sending it to avoid asset loss. This thing dey very serious, as you won't recover this asset once sent. I learnt the hard way today as I paid for my mistake. Normally I never knew something like this was in existence as a newbie, I just thought you can send coins to an exchange without minding any minimum deposit. I sent 0.0002  worth of btc to an exchange, while the minimum to be deposited was 0.0009 and my asset got lost and never arrived. I waited for long and nothing happened and I complained to someone and he told me if I checked the minimum deposit before sending. That was when it dawned on me but it was too late.
I know say many newbies like me are unaware of this and I hope this post enlighten you on this, so you don't repeat my mistake in future.

My brother this na correct update wey you bring come this our local board no doubt, because people don really fall victim of this well well, even me self, I been don fall victim of this late last year, my own na 8 dollar worth of Bitcoin wey I send too my kucoin account, not  knowing that the minimum deposit for kucoin is set at 0.0002  Satoshi, which is almost 13 dollars at the current market price, I wait tire, the money no gree drop, but for my wallet, everything dy show say the transaction don go true, na as I ask one of my guy wetin fit cause why the money I send never still drop, na him come tell me if I check minimum withdrawal? I no just know wetin to talk, as him ask me that question, but After everything, I just take am as one of those terrible experience, because I learned the hard way.

More than anything there is now news about Barcelona and them hiring more players.
Jorge Mendes the famous agent is trying to make a player closer to Barcelona and let him join this team. Darwin Núñez the player of Liverpool doesn't have a good situation in this team and since he left Benfina as top scorer he couldn't have a good performance there as they were expecting to see from him.
That's why it seems Darwin Núñez was to play for Barcelona in the next season. However considering the money Barcelona should pay, this won't be easy for them to hire Darwin Núñez for their team.



I think Lewandowski will be more successful than Nunez next year. I don't think they even need to add Darwin Nunez to the team. Barcelona is a team struggling financially and I do not think they will want to pay very high prices for Nunez's transfer. The priority for them may be players who are in free agency.

Exactly my point, why would they be going for the Liverpool forward Nunez when they have someone as good as Robert lewandowski in their ranks, though I expected Nunez to perform better as a Liverpool player, but he was just a disappointment to not just we the neutral fan, but to mostly the Liverpool supporters, as for the rumour linking him with a move out of the club not a good one here too me, I believe that he still has more to offer this Liverpool side, since it's just a one season struggle, so if they will be able to give him another chance, them I believe that he might be much more better than how he is now, because right now, his confidence as a person and as a player is really really down, but if his confidence level can improve, I think he is going to improve massively no doubt.

Another thing about this rumour that really makes it unlikely is the current financial status of Barcelona football club, I don't think they can afford him right now, so it's best they look elsewhere, than going for players that is almost impossible financially too afford, in this current financial state they are in now.

~Snip~
Of course, Atalanta will not want to lose in the final. Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, does not want to lose the final and wants to continue its streak of not losing. The Rome match also shows that there is a possibility of falling behind for Leverkusen. Atalanta plays very differently in Europe. They eliminated Liverpool and continue to play brilliantly. There is a possibility for them to win and it is not impossible.
Leverkusen and Atalanta both have the same chance of winning the UEL trophy, both teams have shown their best quality this season in the Europa League. It is still very clear in my memory how Atalanta beat Liverpool in the first leg which was played at Anfield, Atalanta played beyond expectations which made Liverpool unable to withstand attacks on their defensive area. If Atalanta plays like they did when they beat Liverpool, it is very likely that Leverkusen will suffer their first defeat of the season and lose their chance to win the Treble.

Leverkusen will maintain the momentum that has been consistently maintained since the start of the season to achieve great success this season, they are one step closer to winning their second trophy this season. This opportunity will certainly not be wasted to make new history since the club was founded, both of them are very likely to come out as champions because the chance is still 50:50.

No, I don't actually think it's 50:50 here because Bayern Leverkusen are the clear favourite here, they are not just the bookmarkers favourites but also the favorite the average football fan, because if you look at the kind of form they have been all throughout the season, It will be extremely difficult for Atalanta to snatch this uefa Europa league title out of the hands of Bayern Leverkusen, but in football, nothing should be ruled out, because anything can happen.

Another thing that this Bayern Leverkusen side needs to watch out for when playing Atalanta is counter attacks, they are one of the best in the business, when it comes to counter attacks, so if Bayern Leverkusen fail to address that on that day, they might recieved the shocker of their lives, and they might finally lose that game too Atalanta, if they failed to pay close attention to the smallest details in that game.

Chelsea ranked 7th position and keeping their hopes for the Europa League alive for them. Mauricio Pochettino is trying to enchanced the team performance and the players and we're seeing the require evidence. Chelsea performance against Nottingham forest was outstanding and they missed out on most goal scoring attempts but miraculously won 3-2. The Blues are one of the elite club that have fought extremely hard to bounce back to glory wins and they're actually achieving this.
Chelsea's victory at home to Nottingham Forest has equalized its points with Newcastle United's current points so there is still a chance for Chelsea to get into the top six at the end of this season. Because Newcastle experienced a draw in today's match when they hosted Brighton, Newcastle failed to share points with Chelsea and this will make Chelsea more enthusiastic in achieving a better position in the remaining matches at the end of this season.
Chelsea performed very badly at the start of the season, it was difficult for them to move from the middle of the standings. However, now they are starting to be able to compete for a place in European club competitions. Chelsea performed quite well in the final phase of the 2023-2024 Premier League season. In fact, Chelsea always won in the last three matches. The Blues hope to close the season in 6th position in the standings. Because Chelsea and Newcastle have the same points. So, competition is very open Chelsea took three important points in the match at The City Ground Stadium, The Blus won with a score of 3-2. The victory over Nottingham is very important for Chelsea. They are now in seventh place with 57 points away from Manchester United with a three-point advantage. For Nottingham Forest, this defeat means they are not yet safe from the trap of relegation. They are in 17th position with 29 points.

It was actually a very impressive win from this Chelsea team no doubt, I was really impressed, though I am one of their greatest critique, but their performance yesterday even when they were 2-1 down really impressed me, and if they can maintain such commanding type of football and win all the remaining fixture between now and the end of the season, then I believe that they might qualify for a place in the uefa Europa league competition.

Lastly, over the cause of the season, this Chelsea team has been playing with so much injuries especially to most of their key players in the team, but as the returning captain of the team Recce James
came on, he  brought a lot of energy and quality to that right back position, which he was the one that eventually cross the ball, that leads to the winning goal of the game.

I don't know if I'm the only one that have noticed this dull movement in the market price since the halving, I'm just saying from what I've observed. If it was last 2-3 months we would have been seeing a different figure like a new one not a repeated amount like we have seen $62k so many times, now we have Bitcoin price at $63k currently, why is the price not trying to go forward instead it's between $60-63k?  If it continues like this I feel we won't even see Bitcoin price at $67k-$69k, it seems this month isn't going to be productive maybe from the last week of this very month that's when we'll be getting close to $70k.
You're too impatient, it's not like it would be the end of the world if bitcoin doesn't quickly pump after the halving, did it pump right away in the 2020 halving? If I recall it didn't because those kind of stuff takes time and there's only been like less than a month after the helping, be happy that bitcoin's price is stabilizing. People like you that doubt bitcoin are the kind that I love to follow especially when the price of bitcoin goes to the point that you thought bitcoin weren't able to reach, I really love to see you eat your words back when you doubted that bitcoin would ever reach that point in the market.

Hell yeah I'm impatient, is not my thing to be impatient but when it comes to this you can say that again. I'm only concern and some how making some comparison on how the market price was last year as of this same month and two months back this year, it was a bit flexible I mean in the market price but ever since the halving I thought it wouldn't be the way is it now, don't get me wrong on this.
I have never thought of Bitcoin falling in any way but my concern is how slow it has been and I know it will get to a much more higher price before the end of this year, so don't get me wrong I was only worried if this halving period is the cause of all that's happening, the high fee, the price having more negative effect more than the positive.

All of your concern is valid but don't put to much pressure on something that unsure since no one actually say that its guarantee that we can see that price after the halving since road to $100k or lower than would be hard surpassed on.

But even though we see hardships for past months still we are still in bullish condition where the price speculated still possible to achieve. But if we can't see that to happen then provably there's possibilities that we could go near on that figures.

I know to many negative incidents happen but that's normal cycle of bitcoin and we could see that every challenges occur bitcoin survives it and every rise of fees those incident is temporarily happen since that goes back to normal so people should not worry that much since it didn't happen just now. Also even though there's negative thing happen but there are so many positive things that we need to look after since bitcoin potential is so high.

I also buy to your sentiment bro, we should pay less attention to the negativity happening in the Bitcoin market, people that are  worried of the current price of Bitcoin are mostly traders and short term investor, unless you are one of them, I don't see any reason why you should be too much concerned about the current value of Bitcoin, but as for me, am a long term holder, I believe that only the long term holders will  reap the full dividend of their Bitcoin investment.

Lastly, in my own opinion, the halving is now behind us, so anytime from now, The price of Bitcoin will start skyrocketing, so do you have a very good stash of Bitcoin in your possession? That is what you should be more concerned about, if you aren't having a good stash of Bitcoin in your possession, you should use this opportunity to buy more with the DCA accumulating strategy, so you wouldn't miss out when the bull run officially start, that's just my opinion though.

Yet again another hypocrite statement from ten hag. I don't know what this coach is thinking but it's obvious that if his statement is a hypocrite statement. it's fuckin hilarious to see that how ten hag is always showing up with unbelievable statement like this. The better for him to be a honest coach.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

The journalist shall have stop to make his heart cries.  Cheesy Cheesy

But I'm very happy with Mason Mount




I really don't think it's that funny though, because it quite normal as a manager of a team to always hype his player or not to belittle his player in any way, so that he wouldn't start answering more questions from the media about what he said about a particular player, and the player himself will know that the coach thinks highly of him, because if he openly said that Declan rice is a better players openly, it will mostly kills the confidence of mason mount, knowing that the managers doesn't rate him that much, so it's nothing new in football, he wouldn't admit it publicly, because his job is to defend his club and the players.

And lastly, the media should just let the man to breath, he knows that he will definitely be sacked at the end of the season, so why are they looking for more things that they will mostly use against him? I think it's enough, They should just let be.

Where did you see me saying that Fulham will make Manchester City drop points when they play against each other today in the Premier League? I only answered Bobrox's question, in which he asked if there was an opportunity for Fulham to stop Manchester City from winning them. We all know that Manchester City is the favorite to beat Fulham, but unexpected results can happen in football sometimes, and people can have different opinions.
I think it is quite clear that Manchester City will not allow other clubs to take 3 points from it, even Fulham because this club is a mediocre club that is not aiming for anything else in the remaining matches this season because Fulham is likely to still end up in the middle of the table and not get a ticket to take part in international competitions while Manchester City is really aiming for the Premier League title so there is no reason for Manchester City to give up and Fulham will not be able to stop Manchester City even judging from the statistics Manchester City has a higher chance of winning and he has also dominated the victory over Fulham in his last 5 matches.

It is true that unexpected results can sometimes happen in football, but we all know that Pep Guardiola will not waste this opportunity towards the end of the season, especially as Manchester City is no longer playing in the Champions League, therefore Manchester City must win the premier league title so that the fans' disappointment can be overcome if Manchester City won the title again. I don't think any club will be able to stop Manchester City, not even Tottenham, even though their rankings are not much different.

It's actually clear that this is a clear winning for this Manchester city side because if you check their records over the past seasons, especially at this time and stage of the competition, they hardly lose points, and within the core of their team, they have all it takes to win all their remaining fixtures very well.

Their was a statement I made earlier before now, which was; the biggest mistake made by both arsenal and Liverpool is allowing Manchester city go top of the league with less than ten games remaining,  to me, that was the biggest mistake made by arsenal, because once they go top of the league, they wouldn't even drop a single point till the last day of the competition, though it's actually true that surprises can still happen in football, but I don't think Manchester city will be complacent enough to be surprised by Fulham, knowing what is at stake, so I think it's a sure winning for this Manchester city side.

I wonder why people find it difficult accumulating bitcoin with the little they have, aside the $100k speculation and other speculation
What I discovered that makes people find it difficult to accumulate bitcoin with the little they have is the act of greed or having high hopes of quick return, and lack of DYOR. While I say greed is that most people overhead people talks about how people became rich from bitcoin investment they never did a proper research to know exactly how it is, to know that it is only the Long term HODLers that make it in bitcoin investment, out of much excitement thinking that they have found the shortest court to wealth, they didn bother to have an insight into bitcoin Investment and what it entails, they used out of greed and put all their money in bitcoin. After waiting for some time the results they got was different from what they heard, that is why most people invest what they can't afford and sell off quickly at lost. For the $100k speculation, that was exactly what drage most of them to invest.



To me I don't really think it's greed, what I think is that, most of this low class people are actually struggling to survive, they can barely feed three square meal a day, and when in such a terrible situation, the thing that mostly comes into your mind is where the next meal is going to come from, am saying this because I have been in that kind of space at a point in my life, during that time it will be extremely difficult to think of anything else aside how you are going to have your next meal, so I don't actually think it's greed.

Lastly, due to how inflation have taken over every price of goods and services in the state, it's very difficult to squeeze out something that will be used to DCA into Bitcoin, but if they manage to do it, by starving themselves from most things, it wouldn't be unsustainable on the longer run, because at some point they would have to temper with their few holding when encountering some financial difficulties, since they don't have that leverage of having an emergency fund.

-snip

If Arsenal can't win this game then they should just give up already.  Tongue  Manchester United are having really difficult days. The number of injuries is really high as it seems. I see it like only a couple of defenders are healthy at the moment. If Manchester United play this game with a player problem in the defense line it should be easier for Arsenal to win.

Even in the normal case Arsenal are a few steps ahead. Manchester United defense is very vulnerable in every case. Arsenal are currently the most productive team in the league with 88 goals. I find 1.40 odds nice to add to my parlay.  Smiley
If you choose to bet on Arsenal win and enter it into your betting slip, it might be the right choice because Arsenal is guaranteed to be in that match so your betting slip will remain safe with Arsenal winning.
but the problem here is that I'm just a little confused about choosing betting options with odds more than @1.5 because I only use single bets or builder bets.
however, I agree with you that if Arsenal cannot get 3 points from Man United, the EPL title competition will definitely end because currently Man United situation is really experiencing a very big storm.
before several defenders were injured, Man United defense was a little weak but the attack line was still able to cover this weakness, but in the upcoming match MU will have to compete with reserve players and the absence of attackers and defenders.
from here I would say that Arsenal's chance of winning is 90% and 10% for MU to hold the match to a draw.



looking at the odds on Arsenal winning -1.5 with odds @1.96 being the best choice for me and very comfortable for a single bet.
Looking it from the angle and seeing it, I believe that this particular game is actually going to end in a draw, am saying this because in as much as Manchester united is not in good form at the moment, they actually knows how to play arsenal especially at home, just take a look at their head too head record against arsenal you will observe that it will not going to be an easy fixtures irrespective of the current form arsenal is right now.

Lastly, it's very clear that arsenal is the bookmarkers favourites no doubt, but I sees this particular game as the game that is going to finally put a dent in arsenal title aspiration because Manchester united is under so much pressure to perform, so they wouldn't allow arsenal to beat them in their own backyard, and losing the first leg against arsenal is the more reason I believe that Manchester united wouldn't let them have their way this time.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 10, 2024, 07:05:26 AM
I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

First of all,  you needs to know that gambling is not a game that is quite easy to stop when you have already been into the system, especially when addicted to it, because their are people out there that thinks that they can't do without gambling, and when it has gotten to that point, just know that is either they are already addicted or they are on the verge of addiction.

Secondly, another thing about gambling is that once you have started gambling, and starts accumulating losses of different sizes, the only thing that would be mostly in your head is how to win back what you have lost, and by doing so, you end up losing more money, because gambling doesn't works like that, when you gamble out of desperation, you will definitely lose more  money, so in essence is that, gambling should be a game for fun, not seeing it as a means of income.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: May 09, 2024, 05:28:03 PM

The main problem in early stages will be

A lot of people knowing each other driving the price of a few specific items and creating higher prices for them… then a unknowing person buying at a to high price for a worthless piece being stuck to it… but yeah DYOR and buy what you deem worthy I guess
Actually, this is the only scheme, and not only a lot of people knowing each other, but often just only one person, acting with different wallets.
Market rigging at its bests, like good old times in traditional markets.
This does works and the target can be completely clueless on what’s been done. That’s why auctions could be a madman’s den at times. Insane prices could go for just any piece from a famous dead guy who wasn’t very good in art or have an item featured in a famous battle or been to certain places.

Then the collectioneur at heart... just collecting things they really appreciate and by buying giving things a value... Could be discussed, but by bidding and buying they set a standard for certain objects ... This also makes other pieces more valuable. Some people collecting stuff really appreciate it and they are happy with owning it and owning piece of that history. It's charming some people just are so interested that they wanna hold such specific things...
More and more searches are lunched to getting these antiques, get it dated and there it goes with the price for collectors to pick it up. You wonder why they don’t keep ot for themselves or have it as a national treasure, which goes for some antiques and the nation of origin.

Well, am not a collector so I wouldn’t know, don’t see how am supposed to be amused with having this 16BTC in an item hanging somewhere if I don’t get to make money off it although, some of these could serve a means to preserve wealth and that’s only if you can be able to resale if need arises.


That's just the point bro, if it's that's treasurable why didn't they kept it for themselves? These people knows how most of the rich thinks, and especially when the goods in question is being auctioned, they knows that their are crazy fellow out their that would just want to outbid everyone, just to prove his or her financial superiority among his or her pairs, and most times it's something that would not be useful or productive too them.

That's why I really do believe that this particular purchase is all about ego, the person that bought it just want to be among that very few people in the world who has the capacity to pull such a move, because I don't think he is going to make any tangible money out of it.
13  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Don't sell in loss on: May 09, 2024, 08:11:45 AM

Bitcoin has been  in Dip for some couple of weeks lately  before and even after the long awaited BTC halving, although there were some scenarios of btc losing values to other alts because of the congestion of its mempool leading to high transaction  fee after halving period which also contributed  to more Dip   .
However at this period ,don't be overclouded by your Emotions towards selling your BTC in loss  just because  you aren't  getting  the kind of result you thought you should  because  most people  thought the Bull run will begin immediately  after the halving, even some analyst might have claimed that  but remember  that those were all Speculations  of future event.

Thus, at this period  many alot of long term investors will be separated from short term investors,I hope you aren't  one of them...
Besides reviewing the previous halving there were dips compared to the volatility  of the bitcoin market then ,I made a thread about the review of the halving pattern Check Here

Let's  take a look again,just as I've  posted In the thread



Color code

|   Red:    Halving |

|   Blue:   ATH      |

Those are the keys above add I think the table is self explanatory.

Now lets start our review from 2016,
We started with $434   and we had a low of around $351, well not too  low comparing, now checking  the following  year, we had $966as start which means there had been a bullish market towards the ending of 2016 since its  high was around  $981.
Now when we take a look at the following  same scenario  repeat  itself in 2020 and 2021...

This is 2024 It's  seem we had some early bull which was before the halving and even gave us new ATH  but we are yet to see our  bull run that was too early for a bull run maybe... Not taking to hard, our bull run might not follow the previous  halving  pattern we might even have a early bull run, even  any moment from now  so my give out will be
Keep your holdings and Don't sell in loss

My brother, to tell you the truth, person wey sell at this point na him do him self oo, because just imagine say I been don dy hold since, na now wey be dieing minutes nai I go come go sell? No na, even my ancestors no go happy with me if I fuck up like that, unless na person wey just come into the crypto industry go sell now, particularly at a loss because of fear say e no go fit recover.

So just as the historical figures wey the op don list down already, it shows that comes rain sunshine Bitcoin will always rally back and reward his loyalist or it patient holders, so it's best that we hold firmly even wen we dy tempted to sell, abeg na dieing minutes we dy now, no be this time we surpose give up, think and act wisely abeg.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 09, 2024, 04:57:13 AM
Chelsea is not a team to depend on this season especially when it comes to consistency of the game. They can just be in great form now and in their next match they’ll just disgrace you and lose woefully to their opponent. Chelsea performance is quite impressive and one that shows a great prospects in the premier league. They’ve some few matches left for them and some outstanding in order to level up with other teams in the premier league before the end of the season. I don’t know what miracle they can perform to make them finish in the top four this season but with all indications, they can’t make it there again at this stage. If there are teams that are ahead of them that will lose some significant points in all of their matches left, then Chelsea can secure a spot there but for now, they can’t do any magic to get there.

I can't even believe that Chelsea will be where they are now on the table with their disappointing form that even the coach can't predict when they're going to perform better. I know the fans just want some magic to happen this season but this is the end of the magic for Chelsea, if is to get to the top 4 I don't think it will happen with Newcastle who are trying to struggle their way through to the top 4 as well, I don't feel it would be that easy for the Blues.
Before the end of the season they still have one more game to lose, if I'm a fan I won't hope on them to display a better performance or I won't say they're on track like Pochettino said that the project is progressing, I don't buy that, is like he sees a better Chelsea when they win but if they lose Pochettino will say trust the process, this man should man up and face his fears.

That is one of the major problem they are facing at the club, the manager is just too incompetent to handle a team like Chelsea, and they would have been in a better position on the league table if they were actually winning most of this smaller teams they lose and drew with, especially the match against shelfied united and against Burnley, if they had won those two matches they drew, by now they would have had at least four more points which would have taken them above Newcastle united and and just two points behind Tottenham, so their inconsistency has really cost them this season no doubt.

And another thing that really needs to be addressed at the end of the season is the managerial position, because I really don't think Mauricio pochettino can build anything good here, considering the fact that he is just an average coach and I really do think the Chelsea job is bigger than him due to expectations, I strongly believe that Chelsea would have been in a better position if they had a better manager in charge of the team, so a change is really needed if Chelsea wants to progress and be better next season.

In the match early this morning. Real Madrid almost gave up. Several opportunities they had were thwarted by the Munich defense and Manuel Neuer's brilliant performance. However, Carlo Ancelotti made changes by bringing on Joselu in the 81st minute. Evidently, the striker was the figure who changed the outcome of the match. Joselu immediately reacted quickly, he scored a goal in the 88th minute and in the 91+1 minute to give Real Madrid a 2-1 lead which was also the final result of the match. We can prove that Joselu's role was very important when Madrid's attack line was deadlocked.

The performance of both clubs looked very tense. Real Madrid could hardly create a goal opportunity for more than 80 minutes, while Bayern Munich took the lead with 1 goal in the 68th minute, making all Real Madrid fans feel anxious if Real Madrid lost in that match. but who would have thought that Carlo Ancelotti took the right steps, he put Juselu in at the last minute, with a span of 9 minutes, he was able to score 2 goals, he became the hero of Real Madrid's victory this time, thanks to him, now Real Madrid can reach the final, Carlo Ancelotti can always provide the right strategy in taking quite difficult steps, Joselu can be relied on as a substitute if Real Madrid experiences difficulties.

Many people making Real Madrid the favorite to win the Champions League title. Real Madrid's victory this time proves that Real Madrid is still a very influential club in the Champions League. Bayern Munich has tried its best to beat Real Madrid. The appearance of the Bayern Munich goalkeeper also appeared extraordinary, he protected Bayern's goal. Munich was very good even though Real Madrid had taken a lot of shots but still it didn't mean anything because in the end Real Madrid was able to break through that very strong defense in a short period of time. Real Madrid was very happy because they came back in the final again.

A very big congratulations to real madrid for a deserved victory against Bayern Munich last night, Because it was really a fascinating encounter between this two European giant, but I believe that Bayern Munich was the cause of their losing, they defended too much, they forgot that, the best way to defend is to attack, and because they were just too defensive, they made real madrid grow more dominant in the game which cost them at the very end.

Lastly, I also think Thomas tuchel also play  a negative role in this encounter that cost his team, because their was still a lot of time left and he started removing most of their key players and attacking threat up front, which made real madrid started attacking without fear of being caught at the break, so as it stands now, real madrid are in the finals again, and they will definitely be the favourite to win it due to their rich history and their current form in the competition.

The main problem in early stages will be

A lot of people knowing each other driving the price of a few specific items and creating higher prices for them… then a unknowing person buying at a to high price for a worthless piece being stuck to it… but yeah DYOR and buy what you deem worthy I guess
I think apart from the items that we often use in everyday life, only Bitcoin is more worthy of attention and continuous purchase and this can be done by people who don't like keeping cash in their own wallets. DYOR is necessary because it will lead everyone to think independently about what they want to buy. But in the end there are always many people who are willing to admit Bitcoin as the best to buy even though they have previously spent more time doing research on anything in order to find something more worthy.

It's actually true that Bitcoin is one of the most sorted after asset in the world right now, and we are a big fan of it no doubt, but that shouldn't blind our eyes to be wasting our money, by buying something like this that is a total waste, though I haven't gotten up to that level were I will even think of spending on these kind of things, but I would rather invest in something more better, which is real estate, than spending  a crazy amount of money on a stupid thing, just to message my ego.

Lastly, it's very good and logical to do your own research in any investment you want to venture into, so as to be more enlightened on what you are venturing into, because I believe that if a proper research was done, that investor will also sees it from the same angle we are seeing it, which is a total waste, unless he just want to sell it to someone as crazy as he is.

I totally agree that saving money during inflation is very hard. By the way it is  good to invest but first you need to make sure you have enough money for living expenses. You should have solid budget in place before investing and also save some extra money so you do not have to sell your investments when prices are low. Changing your investment plans because you do not have enough money can be annoying and costly. So I think it is good idea to build a portfolio and also save some extra money it's a smart way to invest.
There is no more enough money for living expenses this days as inflation keeps biting deeper every now and then making money you thought was going to be enough today turning not to be enough the next day and the day after... all thanks to the bastard called inflation.

What I think is, whether of a lower or higher class investor, people should best concentrate on creating an investment portfolio that is within their financial ability and try not to stress it beyond their budget. And very importantly, savings is one thing that can't be overemphasized, having savings aside that should serve as emergency funds is one good practice to achieving a successful investment plan because you will have no reason that would condition you to change your investment plan.

Their is a saying in my locality that the money you save today will will save you tomorrow, but to me, savings in this our current economic situation can't achieve it full potential that it was intended to due to inflation, but the best advice I can give to anyone that have any intention of saving money is that, instead of saving fiat while inflation ravaged it, it's best you save your money in anything that appreciate in value overtime, something like Bitcoin, gold and land.

And lastly, most people find it difficult to save money this days due to hardship, because it's only person that have first of all eaten that will even think of saving, but in essence, if in this difficult economy, you try to squeeze out something, try to hold that money in anything that appreciate in value overtime, so you wouldn't be in a loss, when you finally decided to use it.

It's becoming a thread on the P2P marketplace for those who mean business and who want to protect themselves and the vendor.It's typical practice to make it appear like a real-life commercial transaction. It's only silly not to safeguard your seller's privacy since if his account is exposed or flagged, the sender's account will also be flagged, and if found guilty, bot accounts will be frozen. Always read the seller/buyer's terms and conditions to ensure he understands what he is doing.


Finally, avoid trading with Marchants who only have Liv2 KYC, since these are banks and government officials seeking for accounts to freeze; these accounts are actively trading on exchanges and are attracting victims. Also, check at their volume of successful trades; if it is less than 2k, avoid trading with such a person for your own protection.

Most Bybit merchants no longer trade with accounts without Liv2 verification.



My brother, you don do well to share this vital information with us your naija brothers, and to tell you the truth, since I see this ur thread, na this update I dy use withdraw, I no dy even add any fraction on top , just like, if I wan withdraw like ten dollars wey be 14011.75 at current rate,  instead of me to type am in dollar, I go type am in naira make e be 14 k sharp, and I believe say opay wey I dy use no go ever fit know like that, say na crypto transaction, but if fractions dy on top, e go dy somehow suspicious.

Lastly, during this period, e go dy really advisable make we no dy do too much withdrawals because all this micro finance bank dy very sensitive oo, so na to dy do things with caution, especially wen making withdrawals, make Dem no come go freeze ur account come seize the money join, because e go dy really painful for anybody to get that kind of experience.

By all indications, it's very clear that Eric ten hang will be sack at the end of the season because his performance this season as a coach of Manchester united is really bad, and he keeps on breaking unwanted record at the club, which have been a normal thing during his reign as manager of Manchester united, but with the different coach listed down, to me the best manager for the job would be either Antonio conte or Thomas tuchel, because of their personalities, and they also have the premier league experience needed in their ranks to be successful, but Thomas tuchel would be the ideal choice if am the one making the decisions.

It wasn't long ago that I read rumors that the Manchester United board already had a potential coach to replace Ten Hang next season... that person would be Graham Potter, a 48-year-old coach who previously had spells at Brighton and also at Chelsea .

I believe that this English coach would be the ideal commander to lead Manchester United in the 2024-25 season, in addition to the fact that he has been without a club since leaving the Blues in April last year.


Anyway... there is no shortage of options and the only certainty for now is that Ten Hang needs to leave.
Like seriously? So upon all the good managers out there, it's graham potter Manchester united seems to be linking with, someone that is way more worst than this Eric ten hang, hmmm, this will be a case of from frying pan to fire, let Manchester united fan just pray that let it stay as just a rumour, because they can't be sacking Eric ten hang and be hiring someone as clueless as graham potter,  because Manchester united is not Brighton, even at Brighton, his predecessor has already broke his record with the highest place finished of the season, in just two years.

And to be frank, if Manchester united take this horrible decision and hire someone as graham potter, I think that would be the beginning of Manchester united turning into a smaller club, because they actually can't be managed and coach by a small team manager, and be expecting to perform like a big club, so the best they can do for themselves right now is to go for the bigger managers, because it's only them, that has what it takes to bring Manchester united back to it glory days.

I'm so happy Dortmund made it to the final. They deserved it. They didn't concede a goal to PSG in both games. In total 6 balls hit the post, but that's part of the game. PSG should have scored, they couldn't do that for 180 minutes. Today they had 30 shots, not a single goal.
Congratulations to Dortmund! They played well in both the first leg and the second leg, they couldn’t score many goals in both the first leg and the second leg, but they made their defense so strong that PSG couldn’t get even one goal no matter how hard they tried. Today’s match is surprising. How will you make 31 goal attempts and you couldn’t score even 1 goal? Seriously, that’s really surprising, I was thinking PSG will be able to win the match since Dortmund are visiting them at home, but they couldn’t win the match.
 
Let’s see who Dortmund will be facing in the final, let’s see how the Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich match will go. Seriously,  the match is going to be tough, but maybe Real Madrid will be able to win the match, but nobody is sure yet since they played a draw in the first leg of the match.

The outcome of today's match actually surprised me. because I don’t think there will be someone who thinks Dortmund are going to win this game this way. Most people had hope that PSG were going to win this game, including me, because they are the favourites to win and they are also at home. So they will do even better than what people are thinking, but they failed to do that. They had many attempts to score, but none of them got scored, which I think is a very bad result for PSG tonight. Dortmund did well in this match, from the first half to the end of the match. I didn’t expect them to win the match, but they surprised me. So we will see how they perform in the final stage with Real Madrid, because I know that is where the drama will be.

The season was the best for PSG to make it to the UEFA Champions League finals, but they allowed themselves to be beaten by Borussia Dortmund at home and away in their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie. I also thought that PSG would beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the second tie of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-final to have a chance of playing a penalty shootout with Borussia Dortmund. But Borussia Dortmund beat PSG 0-1 at home without PSG scoring a goal. In this season's UEFA Champions League, Borussia Dortmund has played impressive football, and they deserve to qualify for this season's UEFA Champions League finals.

A big congratulations to borussia dortmund for put not just a good fight to qualify, and also showing more superiority over this psg team, though of a truth I wasn't expecting this kind of result in this reverse fixture no doubt, I was expecting a more robust attacking football from this psg side, considering the fact that they are at home, but I was totally disappointed, Because it was very obvious that they didn't deserve this semi final spot that they just lost, it was because of the red card against Barcelona that made them qualify, and it was very much visible for all to see that they aren't good enough to match borussia dortmund on both legs.

And another thing I observe about the star player of psg, which is Kyler mbape, is  his form has declined drastically compared to when Messi and Neymar was at the club, so to me, now is the best time to leave psg, so that his form wouldn't declined any further, he needs more quality around him, and psg can't afford him that right now, so the best is he just have to move this summer, for his growth, as a player
