Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Alexander Isak  still wants only join Liverpool.

This Isak issue has to happen before the remaining days of the transfer window because we don't have too much time like a week anymore before it comes to a close. It is either he choose to reconcile with Newcastle because as far as I know the both parties are not in a good note and again Liverpool need to fasten the deal by submitting a suitable bid to Newcastle to accept if not we might not see Isak playing in the EPL again.
Look at me thinking that the whole drama was just to allow the Liverpool vs Newcastle game slide off so he doesn't play in that game before he eventually move and then after the game the uncertainty of the move is still as fresh as it was before the game. if the transfer window closes and he, Newcastle and Liverpool are still unable to strike a deal that will be favorable to all parties involved, it is going to affects Isaak seriously because he can not afford to remain without playing active football for so long. not just is it going to affect his bidding price, it might also affect how well he plays.

Re: gambling and divorce

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?
before an act of gambling goes to an extent where it result to the separation of couples, it means that the party that is involved in the act of gambling has ruined the families income in a seemingly irrecoverable manner and has been cautioned several times but have chosen to remain silent allowing the family to continue going down while satisfying his gambling urges at the negligence of the families needs. it is not ideal to single out gamble as the root cause of divorce because in general, what is actually the cause is the effect of such act on the families income. and it is not just gambling, any habit that tend to drain the families income and that is being done by one party has every tendency of leading to divorce. it could be as small as spending too much on outing by a partner or doing anything that puts the families need as a secondary need.

Re: Spread your source of income to cryptocurrencies
by
Hewlet
on 27/08/2025, 06:46:59 UTC
Some of us like manual business, which is our traditional business, but I want a condition whereby we spread our business to cryptocurrencies, such as Gold investment and Bitcoin investment, and Bitcoin investment, investment 55% on bitcoin, 30% on Gold investment, 15% on altcoins investment, I think if we spread our investment in this way we most surely profit in future
There is an aspect of diversification that makes it look like the investor is a confused fellow that does not know where to concentrate his asset in. of cause there is nothing wrong about diversification and some investors might think that it is not safe to keep all ones egg in one basket but over scattering your portfolio might also be to your own peril in a way. it is best that you are into bitcoin, just focus on it and build your portfolio around it, if you are going to even opt for other complementary asset, it should be that you are going for one major one which you intend going all in for the long term and another you can go all in for the short term.

The beauty of an investment is that it worth is high which places you at a good profit. if for instance you only have 1M naira to invest and you start scattering that money into bitcoin, gold and even physical business, you will certainly not get the best out of such investment strategy. the higher the amount of bitcoin you are holding is, the easier it is to get profit from it when bitcoin experiences a bull.

Re: Satoshi Nakamoto Vs (Michael Saylor+BlackRock)

We are always worried about Satoshi's inactivity, wondering when he might become active and start trading his Bitcoins. But we wondered if Michael Saylor's MSTR had already taken over.
There is actually no bases for starting any form of comparison between Satoshi who stands as the brain behind bitcoin and micro strategy that is just benefitting from what Satoshi has created. No matter how much bitcoin strategy is even able to accumulate in the future, Satoshi is always going to be placed higher than him.

Like we have discussed in other thread, satoshi will never attempt to touch his bitcoin for no just reason and definitely not for the sake of competing with recent investors that are just about either making profit or gaining popularity from the bitcoin community. there is actually nothing that Satoshi is going to attempt proving because bitcoin alone speaks for itself.

Re: Money is power and it open doors for you if you are financially discipline

Money is power and for you to get that power, you need to invest, save money. You don't wake up one day and get that power, it takes a lot of financial discipline to achieve that.
Money runs the world in general. if you consider God as the first factor in all things and your health as the next thing, money answers almost every other thing you would generally want to put into consideration. there might be some instances when power override money but those are always an insignificant moment that does not always stay long enough without money showing it uniqueness in the long run.

in pursuit of money, sometimes people have to even neglect their personal visions and dreams just to focused on getting money because the end goal of most of the vision is always centered on getting money or more money.

Newcastle could win. Sad they're  missing Gordon due to the red card. He was doing a serious foul without even thinking about his team. Getting three points from big club such as Liverpool should be more important. He made a mistake by followin his ego to do that unnecessary foul.
Only see he has admitted his mistake and apologized on his IG. Only hope he won't be repeating the bonehead play again in the next games.
Part of the reason why Newcastle played the way they played in the second half of the game is because they where a man down and didn't want to disappoint there home fan by not putting in the needed fight. it is one of those games where both fans are excited because there are a lot of take away from the game. even though Liverpool won the game, Newcastle fans knows better that they deserved it more than Liverpool and for Liverpool to have managed to secure a lead even when it seems things where not working in their favor, it shows the kind of mentality that hard and how that they still have a good attacking option that has just surfaced in the club.

beautiful game of football from both Newcastle and Liverpool and frankly speaking, this is the kind of game we want to see when big teams clashes. suspense and energy till the last minutes of the game even with a one man difference. at some point in the game, i wished Alexander Isak was in the game, maybe Newcastle would have gotten the victory but how be it, teams have started to show that the team is bigger than just a single player.

Re: australia's weird gambling culture

is the failure of casinos has got to do with too much accessibility therefore not generating any more excitement? or is sports betting just the new trend which is where the new generations flock towards to? are you still team casino or team sports betting?
I believe that the casinos are not owned by the government that we can assumed that it has been abandoned. if it is owned by private individual then the most logical thing to think of should be that the owners of the casinos will change based on the reality that is on ground. there is nothing that stops them from adding sports betting to the casino centers such that when a gambler comes in, he has the option of either playing in the casino or gambling on sports games. maybe those that are currently resident in Australia can give a more accurate information on the current state of thing but in general gamblers always opt for what interest them and what promises them good returns. the fact that sports betting and sports in general has also become one booming industry is going to be part of the factors that will drag so many gamblers to shift their loyalty from other gambling options to sports betting option.

Use 2 wallets  1 Main for Long term which you only store your Bitcoin as an investment and don't touch till you are a millionaire
and the 2nd wallet for any payments or thing u need daily
If you are new to crypto, just get started first and be ready to learn, relearn, and unlearn some false information you probably have gotten from sources that are not legit. i have found out that the most difficult part of the journey has always been on how to get started. so many people that would have been strong bitcoin holders are not invested yet because they have not crossed that resistance that stops them from getting started because of the false information they have hard from sources that are probably anti crypto which always paints a wrong narrative about bitcoin and crypto in general.

As long as you are just a newbie, all you need to know is the basics about crypto and to be more specific, it is better to get started with bitcoin and maybe when you have stayed long enough and has gained enough knowledge you can try out some good altcoins. get started with bitcoin, work on getting a good portfolio, ensure the security of your asset, avoid anything that looks too good to be true, aim for the long term and not the short term, make proper provision for your emergency fund and keep yourself updated with recent security information that will help you and you asset stay protected from any form of hacks and theft, with that, you will have a smooth transit from being an ordinary newbie to a strong investor that has things well figured out.

“For those with low salaries who must spend all their time earning it, how can they build a better future?”
Is that the best way to live? even though the economy can be really bad and daunting on people, you can always put in the effort to ensure that you are at least able to work yourself from some kind of jobs that does not give you the slightest time to try other things out. not everyone will try out a side hustle and it is not necessary that every investor must sell somethings just to assist himself in his accumulation journey but the fact is that one ought to create a system around him that gives him the leverage of not just working but to also make investment in the right thing.

This is not just necessary because we are talking about bitcoin, it is necessary in life in general. for me, i have decided long ago that any job that looks like one that will take the whole of my active hours, i will never do such jobs. not because i have a lot of alternative but because that for me is not the best way to live life. even though you do not want to take up any side hustle, it should be because you just don't want to and not because you do not even have the time to doing.

Re: stop following strategy
by

on 26/08/2025, 08:51:29 UTC
while strategy is admirable for continuing to buy bitcoin, we individuals should not be following strategy if they tend to buy bitcoin at its peak. now that bitcoin is declining now is the time to accumulate the most bitcoins as you can again.
Micro strategy only adopts the strategy that is convenient for him and ensure that he follows it up to the later without paying much attention to what other investors are doing or saying. that in itself is a strategy we can also model after by setting up our own strategy and that suits us well and following it to the latter. even though there are times that strategy tend adjust his investment plan, the major time, he always buy using the DCA method and works more on consistency rather than paying so much attention to  short term price change.

The end goal at the mind of every investor is to be better positioned in the future and to have a good amount of bitcoin in an investors portfolio. if it is by following micro strategy that your goal can be easily attained, then that should be the best strategy to adopt but if not, then do what works for you. Selah!

Re: Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?
by

on 25/08/2025, 09:13:30 UTC
Just want to share something I’ve observed in our community. I know a few people who are consistent gamblers, yet they also work really hard. It seems like gambling actually pushes them to hustle more, because they need money to fuel their gambling activities.
Is it not bad enough if you are hustling harder just to get enough money that will go back into gambling? if the inspiration to hustle is just so you can from your income gamble then it is clear that you will gamble too often and will spend the major part of your income for gambling. the job a gambler does is supposed to be a major distraction that will take his attention away from gambling such that the gambler does not gamble too frequently.

The amount that most gamblers that are not stronmg financially use for gambling is usually too small such that it is less than 3% of their income. even the once that jobs that pays them daily which i think will fall under the category of people with such mentality still gambles with a relatively small amount of money such that it does not affect there groose earnings.

Keeping a very disgruntled player in the team is not the best option for any team, they then risk selling him at the end of his contract and for free
So I too am confident that Manchester united will eventually let Antony go to Real Betis and continue his career peacefully
Although Antony ultimately joined Real Betis, he is still on Manchester United's list of players who are difficult to sell. Antony, Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Hojlund remain unclear about the future of their professional careers. Rumors about potential clubs are circulating daily.
The club has started creating people and systems that are independent of them and even though officially they are not completely out from the club, it is just going to a matter of time before they become history as long as united is concerned. from all indication, garnacho wants real Betis and we have seen how that he had a good time while playing for the club. he wants to stay at Real Betis and not united and with the signing of new players into united, i believe that it is a clear indication that a clear option is already available and right on ground which will make manchester united to survive without them.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

on 25/08/2025, 08:48:58 UTC
So building a bitcoin investment portfolio can take a long time before we really start to feel comfortable in regards to the bitcoin and also other aspects of our cashflow management systems and practices that we might have had been building and strengthening for years (and making some mistakes along the way, too). .
Time is part of the determing factor that strong we are in building our investment portfolio and if maybe you got started at a time when the price of bitcoin was constantly going upwards, you might not know what it feels like sitting on the DIP for long without selling regardless of what people are saying untill it eventually happens and you find out that for a reasonable period of time, the market is not recovering.

it is not a wish that an investor deals with such moment but with what is not the reality, if you are ready to invest for the long run, it is only imperative to get our minds ready for any sort of possibility which can be favourable to us or might not be favourable to us. like even with this short term DIP, people are already asking if the $124k is the highest we can go to and wether we will be going further down than the present price. it will take someone that has stayed and seen that this is a minor draw back that will soon become a thing of the past when bitcoin shoots up again and rather than get all worried about it, it is rather better to buy this DIP and use this opportunity to add much bitcoin to your portfolio.

Re: Strategy does not ‘move the price’ of Bitcoin,
by

But with all this, traders and investors still get fulfillment when Saylor posts a Bitcoin price chart in the hopes the company will announce another large Bitcoin purchase.
The ripple effect that comes when micro strategy makes a purchase of bitcoin does not always happen too suddenly, and even if it does or does not, the fact still remains that every buy causes a positive reaction to bitcoin maybe not in the short run but might sometimes be in the long run. strategy is not even the only one that is buying bitcoin at the range of time he makes his purchase and there are always some other things that might play out at same time that micro satrtegy makes her buys which might also affect bitcoin price a certain way.

if strategy buys a certain amount of bitcoin on X day of the month and within same period, there happens to be more sales, some factors that also affects bitcoin negatively also plays out, it is certain that regardless of strategies buys, there will be a DIP in bitcoin price in a way.

Re: Bitcoin Price VS Bitcoin Usage
by

on 25/08/2025, 08:24:07 UTC
Usage will generally cause an increase in the Price of bitcoin while an increase in the price of bitcoin is dependent on Adoption which is the same thing as what you have termed to be usage of bitcoin. the wish of every bitcoin investor is that the degree of adoption increases with more nations and institution making use of it as either her reserve, payment medium or a source of storing her wealth. in any form that such level of adoption takes, the resultant effect is that it is going to afect the price of bitcoin postively which is a gain to anyone that is connectd to bitcoin.

The price of bitcoin is as important as it degree of adoption bjut with more adoption, it gives an indication that not just is bitcoin relevant today it also suggest that the future of bitcoin is only going to get better. price is just a reflection of real factors of which adoption is just a part of.

Bayern is a good team no doubt about that but, beating Leipzig to a 6 goals to 0, that’s so not the result I expected from this game. I didn’t even trust Bayern to win it I’m to be sincere but damned, they played so well and delivered an excellent result.

This leaves me to wonder if Bayern Munich is actually back! I mean, they’ve been a team I would have loved to take on a win bet when they have those low odds but, that’s one time when they get the worst results.
It's beyond belief that Bayern Munich could beat Leipzig with such a convincing scoreline, and it's not the result most people betting on the match expected. Leipzig played so poorly and made so many costly mistakes that Bayern Munich scored three goals in the first half. Leipzig weren't playing their usual game, as I found their defense to be very poor in this match.
Bayern has been really good when it comes to scoring goals and taking up chances and they have seen how disorganized leizik has been and have taken clear advanatge of it. winning the league and starting a new league in this tune is something that sends a strong signal that they are not in for a play and certainly, leverkusen will be hoping to get their win today to further reinstate a fact that they are equally ready for whatever the season comes with. harry kane already on a three gaol advantage from the first game with diaz getting his name on the score sheet while olise also scoring a brace, it sure shows that we might be seeing a lot of goals coming from bayern this season. hopefully, this kind of scoreline will continue evn till the start of the champions league which is going to look like the toughest turnament they will be going into.

Potter is such a terrible manager. He failed on his two opening games, and deserve the sack. He's not good, and out of his depth at a high level of competition like EPL. He shall leave football for the good. I also expect him to be hammered by the hammer(Westham) very soon.  Cheesy

After the first game of match day two, he is currently the coach I feels like will.be sacked of he doesn't get a point outta their next game.
Aaron Wan Bissaka was poor during that game though yesterday. His is a good 1v1 defender but from what I saw last night? He needs to up his awareness and scanning skills likewise the urgency to react to danger. Congratulations to Chelsea, they've earned their first three points nicely.

what are you saying, man? Wan Bisaka was completely aweful? that doesnt look like we watched same game. a lot of times, wan bisaka dorminated his win and created a lot of chances from that wing. the only issue was that his team mate were playing with heavy legs and could not match up chelsea's energy level. that West Ham team has so much tired and heavy legs and they are going to suffer for it this season. imagine chelsea that is not all too good with set piece scoring three goals from three corner kicks, that shows how aweful their defence is and the goal keeping was equally bad.

for chelsea, it is a good win for them after dropping point and drawing their first game. without cole palmer, at least they have seen that some good result can come on board and that is a serious take away from this game. hopefully, they get to secure another victory in their next game to further boost their morale.

If we are still in bull run, a price above $110000 will likely be the support. But will bitcoin be able to increase above the great resistance which is $120000?
We should be more interested in what happens after each bull or drop rather than when the next drop will happen. for all we are sure of, it takes just a fraction of time for bitcoin to cross boundaries and for the $120k, it is even easier to cross it and go higher than it was crossing the $100k point. i still think that we are in a bull run and likely, the bull will continue for a much longer period of time. slight corrrections are part of the bull but they are not an indication that bitcoin will fall. sma eway when bitcoin gets bulish, it does not go staright way to the moon, when bitcoin also experience some sort of short term correction, it does not also goes completely beer.

Rivers State is always known for political crisis but what has happened in Rivers State for the past five months is worst than a military coup. An elected president suspended an elected governor and the assembly members
Even though you are creating this thread way late into the crisis up to an extent we can assume that the crisis has almost died down, i can say that what haappened in Rivers state is nothing different from what is happening in any part of the country where just a selected few dictates how a state is to be run and decides who is going to be in charge of the state. it is just like what is happening in kogi state where the former governor of the state Yahaya Bello ordered current elected members of Kogi state house of Assembly to obey the current governor without a single form of questioning even if they do not undestand or aggree with the policy that the governor  brings. just looking at such instruction tells you that he, Yahaya Bello brought in the incumbent governor who he can control and hence the reason for such a statement.

All our elected office holders came in through croocked means and can only stay through such means. Similaye Fubara came in as a result of imposement of him on Rivers people by Wike. the expectation from Wike is that Fubara will be obidient to him. it is because of fubara's disobidient that this whole crisis started. they are all fighting for their belle and not for the good of the general public. we never had a thing as democracy right from the onset and this is nothing close to it.
