Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

At Real Madrid, it's not enough to play good soccer. It's also about satisfying egos, handling the press and winning trophies. This pressure is much greater than what Alonso experienced at Leverkusen. Alonso has a lot of potential to succeed in star management because he knows this environment as a footballer and he is intelligent. Xabi Alonso is also a former Real Madrid player. He knows the culture of the club and the dynamics in the dressing room. This could help him build a natural relationship of respect with the players.
Good squad depth and adequate coaching skills could help Xabi Alonso achieve success at Real Madrid. He has the potential to succeed, but that's never guaranteed, and his chances depend heavily on how the team plays alongside him. He understands Real Madrid and a lot about it, but La Liga has good teams and the title race is never easy.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the two teams most likely to cause Real Madrid harm, even though Barcelona has been the most dominant team over the past decade. Barcelona's dominance can be measured by the number of titles they have won over the past 10 seasons, but Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid always have a chance to win the title.

It's how a signature campaign works, through its signature exposure to forum members in posts. When participants in a signature campaign make their posts, their avatars and signature spaces will show Wolf.bet brand to most of forum members. Why I said most of forum members?

It's because if forum members turn off displays of avatar and signature, they will not see Wolf.bet brand. Anyway only the minority of the forum turn avatar and signature displays off, so signature campaigns can work well for companies.

Additionally, if a campaign has many participants with many weekly posts from each participants, it can gain considerable effects from their campaign.
You're right, signature exposure will only be visible to those who haven't changed the display options. Some users may not want to see signature and avatars for personal reasons, but not many disable them. So far, signature campaign can help brand awareness promoted on forum, not just for casinos, but for all brands that host campaign. Customer interest depends on how good the casino is, sometimes not on who promotes it.

Ideally, the larger the promotional budget and the more participants promoting the brand, the more likely it is to generate interest. Some brands only run campaigns for a few weeks due to limited budgets, but I believe this is crucial for brand awareness. The more participants and the longer it lasts the better for the casino, the casino will naturally become more famous.

It is not necessary for people to tell the truth here about whether they are still holding or have sold their positions. It is enough for them to know even though there is nothing secret.
You're free to give any reason you don't want to answer the questions, but the two questions above don't seem to violate your privacy. The reason you continue to hold doesn't mean you lose your privacy and neither does your decision to sell at the current price. If the question were about how much you hold, you might have the right to withhold the truth due to privacy concerns, but that's not the case with the two questions above.

Someone certainly has their reasons for wanting to hold even though bitcoin has already hit a new ATH. They anticipate better potential and of course, higher prices. But some people have sold to secured profits, and then bought back at a lower price. It's up to them, as asset owners, to do whatever they want.

Re: Nobody don't want to borrow money but they need to do it

Usually borrowing money is not advisable and this could shows somehow urgency and needs to what they wanna used the money to sort for. If a country borrow money this doesn't directly means they aren't producing or productive, what happened is that they could need urgency to use it and facilitate their projects on individual or countries, maybe after which they have accomplished what they are borrowing the money for then they have to pay out their loans. But what matters is that under what circumstances are they borrowing the money, project, business or what? To me it would be more ideal to borrow on a project that would give them some specific amount of profits to pay back their loans.
As far as I know, almost every country in the world has foreign debt. They borrow out of necessity and the amount depends largely on the needs of each country. Individuals also borrow out of necessity, without urgency or other reasons, borrowing doesn't make sense. Borrowing to expand a business is reasonable, but borrowing for lifestyle is never recommended.

Borrowing is not always bad, in some cases borrowing is recommended to maintain a business or develop it. In such cases, borrowing can save a potential business or even help it move forward. It's unfortunate that borrowing for lifestyle purposes is a bad idea.

Re: How can you stay anonymous buying Bitcoin if you’re most likely using fiat?

In reality, all bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored on the bitcoin network. Everyone can see your wallet balance, but only a few know who owns it, as it all depends on how you protect your privacy. While fiat transactions typically involve revealing your identity, some decentralized platforms allow you to purchase anonymously.

You can still increase your privacy even if your first transaction isn't anonymous. I mean, there are other methods you can use, like mixers and other like that. The owner's identity might no longer be easily traceable this way, but since mixers are banned on this forum, all of them will likely need to find them elsewhere.

Yes, it seems like this version of the extension is still working and 22 users have added it so far or 23 including me.
I just tried it and it worked for me with Chrome. I also browsed some discussions on the official bpip.org thread, and found some user including the OP seem to be unable to use it. But I'm curious, have you enabled developer mode?

The steps were pretty simple: I added it to Chrome, checked a few options to show, enabled developer mode, and updated. That worked for me.

Base on my knowledge in life as a whole, we have to create an awareness campaign in other to allow the brand we represent be known all over the world, we also have to set some targets as well as conditions in other to meet up with, which will also be part of their policies, because they are also running under specific targets which they must meet up with, whereby everyone works together for a common goal of getting known by what they offer.
Each participant in the signature campaign carries a promotional banner, which helps the community gain brand awareness for the casino. The casino doesn't specifically require participants to mention the brand of cassino everywhere and encourage potential customers to become new members, but by posting something appropriate and relevant to the topic, you'll contribute to the brand awareness you use in your signature.

Promotion and marketing teams can increase brand awareness in various ways, including signature campaign. Other methods, such as contests or sponsoring official forum events, are also possible. This can certainly increase brand awareness and build a good reputation, but it requires a sufficient promotional budget.

Taking a step back and doing a lot of self reflecting helps a lot, no one is capable of helping you than you. It's a good thing that you were able to keep yourself under control because even though it might seem easy it's on of the hardest things to do. A lot of gamblers lack discipline, they give into their urge to keep gambling wrecklessly. As a gambler that has experienced and learned a lot you won't make certain mistakes again
Yes, everything should have limits, and it's best to plan for them from the start. Gambling, especially when done excessively, will only hurt yourself and cause financial harm. Gambling all the time without limits is highly discouraged, even if you have good financial standing, as bankruptcy is truly lurking. Improper gambling patterns can lead gamblers to serious problems. They not only become addicted, but also lose significant amounts of money and encounter various life challenges. These include poor relationships, social withdrawal, debt, loss of self-confidence, and more.

Gambling, when properly managed, should be enjoyable, not a problem. Of course, not all gamblers will develop the problems I mentioned above, but when they exceed normal limits, they must face the negative consequences. Therefore, set limits on time, budget, and other aspects to avoid becoming a bad gambler.

Re: Betting on the impossible

on 14/07/2025, 22:26:35 UTC
Like in sports betting, do you sometimes just bet on an option that has very low chances of actually happening but seems fun to bet on at the time? Some people might do it for fun but what would be amazing is if it actually happened and you won.
No, this isn't a fun option, but rather a high-risk option to win more money. Some people say it's a way to have fun, but in reality, they're desperately hoping their risky bets hit the mark and they win. But would you do it? If I were asked this question, I would say no, certainly not on a bet with such a high risk of losing.

This got me thinking how sometimes betting on the impossible could give you insane benefits. I know this will not happen all the time but those who had chosen to bet on Hulkenberg that day for fun got insanely lucky and won big.
I think you should first understand what "impossible" means, because something impossible is impossible and what's possible isn't impossible. You could win a bet with extremely low odds, but it's not impossible because there's still a chance. However, when you say it's impossible, the odds are zero, meaning there's no chance at all.

Overcoming a gambling addiction is certainly not easy, and it's not as easy as people imagine. The key lies in strong determination. With strong determination, you will continue to try and share methods that will eventually succeed after consistent effort.
Everyone has their own way of overcoming addiction, and yours may be the best, and I pray that your gambling addiction is overcome soon, because gambling addiction is truly dangerous, especially financially.
You're right, every gambler has their own level of addiction and it's not easy for them to overcome it quickly and recovery requires a long process. Strong willpower, determination, distraction, and other approaches can help them gradually forget about gambling. Various medical treatments are also available, but these are specifically for serious addicts whose addiction level is beyond the reach of conventional methods.

Every gambler who wants to recover from their addiction must have a strong commitment to recovery. The process is by no means easy, but recovery is possible when the determination is strong. Many people have undergone the process of addiction recovery and have succeeded, provided they have a strong commitment.

I'm curious about the OP's stated investment budget of 1 million Naira. It's only $654.23 when I convert it. While that's a lot for a low-level investor, it's not a significant amount for a higher-level investor. I don't think the OP needs to worry if he's been investing for a few months, he should be seeing returns on his investment instead of complaining about the decline. Bitcoin is close to hitting $120k today, but a small correction to $118k shouldn't cause significant panic.

OP, avoid over-worrying when investing in Bitcoin. This asset will grow over time, and you'll earn a commensurate return, so don't be swayed by minor corrections or anything that could destabilize your investment plan. I'm curious about your entry price, but you should be seeing some returns by now.

Congratulations to Chelsea,,, Enzo Maresca squad successfully shattered public assumptions that overly praised PSG strength. Surprisingly, Chelsea thrashed PSG without reply, a 3-0 scoreline was enough to slap the face of the Champions League title holder.
I don't know why PSG seemed to lose their passion when playing in the final, perhaps they underestimated Chelsea, and that ultimately harmed them.
With the addition of the Club World Cup trophy, Chelsea has now proven they have developed for the better, and this success will boost their confidence heading into next season competition.
No, I don't see PSG underestimating Chelsea in the final with Luis Enrique's lineup. I just have to admit that Chelsea played better defensively and thwarted PSG's scoring attempts throughout the match, while also capitalizing on scoring chances and taking the lead. This put PSG under pressure, as they increasingly built attacks but conceded more goals.

Without much possession, Chelsea actually managed to create more shots on goal than PSG. They registered 10 shots throughout the match, with 5 of them on target. This is certainly impressive, as 3 of those 5 resulted in goals. Congratulations to Chelsea, they certainly deserve to celebrate their success today.

My prediction was perfect at last. I told us that you shouldn't doubt Chelsea. Everyone was panicking because PSG trashed Madrid. A football match is unpredictable.

Some people even said that PSG is in form or at the top of their peak. At the final match, anything can happen. You can see now.

So if you choose Chelsea as the winner, good for you, and if you choose over 1.5 or over 2.5, good for you.
It's true, there's no arguing about that, but many people are right to doubt Chelsea given PSG's recent form. PSG played their own way and dominated the game, but Chelsea had a way of preventing conceding. Chelsea's victory in the final was a surprise, but they also had chances from the start, even if they weren't as good as PSG's.

Finally, I must congratulate Chelsea, who just won the Club World Cup in stunning fashion. Beating PSG 3-0 was no easy task, but they did it, and Cole Palmer really deserves the credit he deserves. Palmer scored two goals in the first half, he was one of the best. Perhaps PSG was too tired in this competition because after all their journey to the final was not as easy as Chelsea who only played against teams like Benfica, Palmeiras and Fluminense, but this is just a reason that might have influenced the team's performance in the final.

Re: What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward?

Break in between us very important whenever the loses hits you hard, you have to come to a point where taking a rest at each point after ra lose is necessary this helps you to regain the already exusted energy and at the same time gives you chances to reflect on your past gambling actions and to change whatever you want to change before you return back to active gambling again and that time you be better off.
This largely depends on your playing style. If you're betting 100% of your bankroll, you might want to stop immediately if you lose. However, if you're betting 20% of your bankroll on your first try, you still have four more chances if your first try loses. This approach allows you to avoid having to stop after the first loss, but of course, 100% of your bankroll is a budget you can afford to lose.

A losing streak is certainly devastating for a gambler, but losing 100% of your bankroll once is even more frustrating. I tend to prefer losing five times over losing once with the same bankroll; this allows me to stay in the casino longer. You can certainly try other approaches, but I've found the one above works best for me.

We’re really watching an unbelievable match.  Chelsea finished the first half leading 3-0. I think everyone was wrong about this game.
There are still 45 minutes left, but I don’t think PSG can come back from this.
Right now, PSG is playing more aggressively, but I don’t think anything will change
It was a verry surprise. I didn't expect Chelsea to perform so well in the final, even though they weren't actually dominating the game. PSG dominated, but they struggled to find a goal from the first half onwards. Chelsea had a big lead in the first half, and that clearly encouraged PSG to play more aggressively in the second half. I doubt PSG can turn the game around and beat Chelsea in the remaining minutes, meaning Chelsea are now a very likely team to win the title with a 3-0 lead.

If PSG loses, I think many gamblers will lose today. PSG are indeed the favorites in the final, but somehow Chelsea seemed to silence their efforts with their effective play. Three first-half goals put Chelsea in a much safer position in the second half, but there's still time to see how PSG will score.

In this case, it's very possible that it could happen soon, especially since Bitcoin's price is currently at $117k. It only takes a small push for Bitcoin to reach $120k. While there will be some resistance at $118k, which could cause the price to decline, I predict that $120k could be reached this month, or at least next month. It just takes time for Bitcoin to reach that level.
It's amazing that Bitcoin hit an new ATH of $118k, which got everyone excited, but I wasn't surprised. Bitcoin's new all time high had been long awaited, but for various reasons, the ATH seemed hard to achiev. But then all doubts were answered in July. A little encouragement might make bitcoin hit $120k, but I think the market will need a little time before $120k is touched.

I'm looking forward to hitting $120k early new week when everyone is back to work. There are two possible outcomes, if $120k fails, the correction or sideways movement could result, meaning Bitcoin won't stabilize above $117k.

Re: Pentingnya untk tidak memberi tahu semua orang tentang kepemilikan kripto kita
by
skarais
on 12/07/2025, 22:38:47 UTC
~~~
Apa sih manfaatnya memberikan flexing atau pamer terhadap kepemilikan aset kripto yang kita miliki?
Setiap orang punya alasan berbeda-beda walaupun sebenarnya hal ini sangat tidak disarankan karena resiko keamanan diri dan aset. Salah satu alasan paling umum mengapa seseorang ingin pamer asetnya di media sosial adalah ingin mendapatkan pengakuan publik atau juga disebut sebagai validasi. Beberapa yang lain mungkin karena ingin membangun personal branding (terutama influencer), tapi yang paling umum adalah validasi atau pengakuan.

Bahkan gaji yang kita dapatkan dari pekerjaan juga tidak layak di kasih tau kepada orang lain, apalagi menyangkut dengan jumlah aset yang kita miliki. Hati-hati itu penting karena kita tidak pernah tau orang berniat jahat kepada kita dan bahkan teman dekat saja tidak sepenuhnya bisa di percaya. Seperti ungkapan tidak semua teman layak dibawa masuk kedalam rumah karena mungkin ada sebagian teman hanya layak sampai di meja warung kopi.
Anda benar, seharusnya setiap orang perlu menjaga baik-baik privasi finansialnya dan tidak sembarangan memberitahu siapapun tentang berapa gaji, aset yang dimiliki dan dimana tersimpan. Tetapi tidak semua orang bisa menjaga privasi finansialnya dengan baik dan mereka biasanya akan mudah terbuka dengan orang-orang yang dipercayainya. Mempercayai teman dan terbuka segala hal dengannya juga tidak selalu baik, tentu harus ada batasan dalam pertemanan walaupun mungkin ada teman atau orang-orang yang bisa dipercayai lebih dari saudara kita sendiri.

It is not right to make such a stiff assumption about a team like Real Madrid. I cannot disagree with that Los Blancos now has one of the hefty squads in the world. Xabi Alonso new coach of Madrid has so far proven his potentiality. Now we are waiting to glimpse if Alonso could succeed with Madrid. Now if Los Vikingos players could adapt fast to Alonso's strategy, then their performance will ballast. I'm not something like emotional, I know Madrid's defense has kinda lacked till now, but you know they have several talented players on that defense line. The only thing Alonso should have to do is create a suitable match strategy so that Madrid's defense becomes stronger.
Of course, Real Madrid is one of the best in Europe, but their performances so far have been starkly different. Real Madrid failed to win a single trophy last season, and then they also failed to qualify for the Club World Cup. Xabi Alonso will carry a huge responsibility for Real Madrid's campaign next season. He has the ability and has proven his worth with Leverkusen, but the two clubs are at completely different levels.

Alonso must immediately overhaul his squad to achieve balance across all areas. Weak defense, a lack of creativity in midfield, and a lack of sharpness in attacking must be solved. Real Madrid has a good squad, but I can't find a reason behind their decline in form, which raises questions.

It all depends on the self will and thank you and all others here for your kind words, it may be don't look so but they give me a huge burst of desire to achieve that stop of gambling altogether.
Whatever your reasons for quitting gambling completely, I support you. Many gamblers fundamentally realize they're not truly benefit, but they struggle to take decisive action for various reasons. Addiction and easy access to gambling sites keep them coming back, even those who do quit can relapse. Sometimes quitting completely is the best solution, especially if we truly want to build a brighter future.

I haven't completely quit, but I've changed my mindset about gambling to a more realistic one. Gambling doesn't have to be addictive, nor does it have to cause me to lose everything. It means I have control over my gambling, it doesn't control me.

Football can be crazy mate, things can turn around in space of split seconds things can change such that game and scores can be overturned and you are going to wonder if this is same game you have been watching earlier, PSG i believe understand this and will work towards not allowing that happen, not in this their current form. I see that Chelsea is not giving a very clear signal of what we should be expecting from them so I will not be surprised if they pull up with something surprising against PSG.
I don't expect Chelsea to beat PSG in the Club World Cup final, but I know that nothing is impossible in this sport. The favorites don't always win and underdogs can win due to luck or other factors. I just hope the final will be exciting and tense, whoever wins the title. PSG will certainly be eager to cap off their fantastic season with a trophy, but Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated, even if their performance isn't as consistent.

PSG will try their best to pressure Chelsea from the first half and take the lead. This is certainly a good strategy, as it was when they beat Real Madrid. Chelsea won't be good under high pressure, PSG will dominate this way.
