Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
in Gambling discussion


This is it then. Yesterday PSG secured another title. This is their 14th French league championship in history. Lens won only once in 1997-98 season, so 28 years ago.
Lens played a decent game and actually dominated in terms of the number of shots on goal and good scoring chances created. It was too late anyway, and the win wouldn't change much. Even if Lens defeated PSG and won against Lyon on Sunday, and if PSG lost to Paris FC, both Lens and PSG would have the same number of points but PSG has a way better goal difference, so Lens' chances were purely mathematical.

We should still have some action and excitement in the battle of the distribution of the rest of the European cup places (3 to 6). I'll post the current league standings and lets see how will they change after Sunday' round is completed:


congratulations 👏 to PSG for once again another successful season as they Once again secured another ligue 1 title, and waiting for another European crown as they will be playing in the finals of the Europa champions League title. But looking at the point gap this season I will say that Lens should be commended for the way that they put pressure on PSG, but lens were really tough and gave PSG a tough time looking at the point difference nine points is not that much compared to other seasons.

Re: ⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

Snip

Rather than Juventus, you should look at Milan instead.  Wink  Because the points are like this now in the standings:

  • 4. Milan - 67 points
  • 5. Roma - 67 points
  • 6. Como - 65 points
Snip

Como doesn't have a great chance of finishing fourth; finishing the season in fifth place and qualifying for the Europa League would already be a success. Inter won the Coppa Italia, and since they're also champions of Italy, a Europa League spot is now available, currently occupied by Como in sixth place. The only unknowns are Milan and Roma; unfortunately, one of them will end up in the Europa League, and I believe it will be Milan in the end.
Como is already a success if you ask me , because we all know the story of this club. They were expected to be struggling and fighting for survival just as they did the season that they got promoted to the Seria A. And so getting to this level only is a huge success story for them. It's obvious that champions League football is over for them, and with were they stand finishing on fifth place is not a bad thing because the teams above them too are not ready to be displaced by Como. Playing in Europe for a team like Como is one of the biggest football story of the season.

Re: Is it wrong to think that investing in Bitcoin is too late?
in Bitcoin Discussion
Very wrong, every time is the perfect time to investing bitcoin in as much as your discretionary income is available and can successfully accumulate and hold bitcoin for a longer term or more without stress using the dca strategy for a low or middle class investor while for the high class investor can apply the lump sum strategy to invest whenever they wish although the two  strategy can be adopted by anyone at anytime and then when the dip cones can also be adopted
Bitcoin has no time line when it comes to investing, the day you decide to invest you start your journey of self custody. There is nothing as been to late such things don't exist what is important is your level of consistency with your investment and how committed one is towards their Bitcoin journey. So it's actually wrong for anyone to be thinking about been late to Bitcoin investment.

Re: Could stablecoin eventually overshadow Bitcoin usage
in Bitcoin Discussion
Is true that stable coins are becoming more popular and their usage has been more acceptable over the years but we have to put everything straight as it's, when is comes crypto currency different crypto currencies are ment for different purposes and Bitcoin is solving a specific problem of decentralization which other crypto currencies doesn't offers. I really doubt if stable coins that displace the use of crypto.

Re: Global Bitcoin Ownership
in Bitcoin Discussion
According to data provided by Alexes Nakamoto as of this month's 3rd, the image below (that's if the information in the image is correct though) depicts the total amount of Bitcoin held worldwide by institutions, CEX, individuals, lost BTC, etc.
This indicates that self-custody is still winning despite the number of people investing in STRC and others because of the dividends they will receive.
Many Bitcoiners may be unaware that President Donald Trump's enthusiasm for Bitcoin is not coincidental; rather, it stems from his family's experience of being debanked and antagonized by the traditional banking system when he began his presidential campaign.
This debanking caused him to shift to pro-crypto motivate in 2024. After winning the election, President Donald Trump backed Bitcoin because he realized the true value of assets that were not under state control due to lawsuits and frozen assets he experience suring his campaign,  which is why he supported BTC after he won the election.
This shows that if BTC is not outside the regulatory design, it will be just another regular asset, and I hope what I said here is enough to change the mindset of some Bitcoiners who participate in the STRC and other ETF investments or use a custodial platform as storage, know one of the dangers they will experience in the future.

My question now is, do will we still need to be afraid that 51% of BTC could end up in the custody of MicroStrategy/other ETF organizations since Strategy is raising billions of dollars through their STRC dividend offer to investors to buy more Bitcoin almost every 2 months (funny enough, some Bitcoiners are celebrating their accumulation)?
Waoo going by the pictures about seeing here the amount of Bitcoin left to be mined is gradually going coming to an end, because it's less than 5% remaining. From what am seeing we may be gradually seeing an end to mining and when that eventually happens there is going to be an hike in the price of Bitcoin. This is because Bitcoin will become more scarce and important because the value will rise because Bitcoin will not become scarce in terms of circulations.

Re: DCA is boring, and that’s exactly why most people ignore it
in Bitcoin Discussion
Nice question OP, you raised a very important topic here. The truth is that DCA is the best strategy for average investors and for those struggling financially when it comes to Bitcoin and even other forms of investment. But the truth of the matter is that many people don't like waiting for a long time, they want quick money and doing a DCA method that will make them to be waiting for a long time is not comfortable for many. Most people who are coming into Bitcoin is only concerned about making money due to the financial burden they are passing through hence most people wait until there is a bull run before passing.

Re: Quantum questions
in Bitcoin Discussion
Ten year to twenty years or not what is important is that the proposed migration to quantum resistant addresses is a security measures that will make sure that the security of your Bitcoin assets are safe and secure, going forward. It's better that we are prepared for any major eventuality if possible that to be taken unaware even though there has been claims of quantum computing not been a threat to Bitcoin.

Re: African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026
in Gambling discussion
Africa will be coming to Nigeria, as Nigeria is set to host two major CAF events this year.

The events are the CAF Ordinary General Assembly, which is expected to take place in October, and the CAF Awards ceremony, which will be held in December of this year.

It will not be the first time we have hosted this event, but I hope the event is much more put together than the one hosted in 2015.
Good one that Nigeria will be hosting these types of major CAF events this year but as a country I feel that we should have do more than just hosting minor CAF ceremonies. Let tell ourselves the truth when last did Nigeria host a major tournament, Nigeria should be talking about hosting the nations cup because we have what it takes to do that but look at the state of our stadiums in the country.  They are in a very bad state apart from the Godswill international stadium in Uyo I don't think that, we actually have a stadium that is up to CAF standards not to even talk about FIFA standards so these types of ceremonies coming to Nigeria is good but not necessary to me.

Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)
in Gambling discussion
The final of the Italian Cup will be played tonight, and everyone is curious to see who will win the trophy.
My favorite is Inter, and I think they will win this cup and finish the season with two trophies.
This season has not gone well for Lazio, and they will also want to end the season with a trophy.
Let’s see who will win the cup.

From all indications, Inter Milan looked very strong. We can confirm this in their recent meetings between the two teams but football does not work that way. One game is enough to change the script but can Lazio really make this a real cup battle? I doubt it because Lazio always fail to do something important when they have to. They can still hope for the best but they should be aware they'll be playing against a team that is far superior in every aspect.
Let's see how this game will go , don't forget that this is a cup finals and the only chance for Lazio to winning a cup trophy. So this game will be explosive to watch as both team will be come out and try to win the game. But there is no doubt that Inter Milan are the favorite going into this game and has a greater chance of winning the cup. Lazio are the under dogs in this game but should not be underrated because there is nothing to lose for Lazio so I expect that they should come out to play this game with all strength.

Re: ⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽
in Gambling discussion
Manchester City vs Crystal Palace will be an interesting game to watch. Palace are not far from relegation which means it is compulsory that they win their last two game against Manchester City and against Arsenal to avoid relegation entirely. Any club close to West Ham and Tottenham in point can easily be relegated if they do not win their last two game and if eventually West Ham and Tottenham win the next game, it will be a thing of goal difference to spot out the relegated club who will join Burnley and Wolves.
Palace should give a very good account of themselves because they risk the chance of going down to the championship. So picking up points against City will be a good one but the problem is that, City too has to win this game to stand the chance of winning the league. City will hope that Arsenal should drop points and they get maximum points against Palace so this game is a tricky one for Palace and even for city too because there is no guarantee for victory in this game for City.
