Come on man.

Your first link talks about percentage of population not value of money invested and shows 7% of Chinese use Crypto Vs 33% of Nigerians. First China population is more than 5 times Nigerias, secondly they don't do low value Naira transactions like Nigerians. I guarantee you that China is the second largest Crypto market after USA in dollar trade volume.

The second link is talking about Nigeria being the 2nd highest country on Paxful with $566m in trades in 2020. That's just Paxful, one application out of hundreds. Crypto trading volume over a year runs into the tens of trillions so Nigerians $566m in trades over a year on paxful is hardly worthwhile evidence.

What valid reason? The same reasons of volatility, aiding criminal activites and enviromental effects. All these reasons have been countered appropriately.

That's not the main reason. The main reason was the last one they gave - economic stability. No country will want a good portion of it's populace putting their savings into speculative instruments. Savings levels are how central banks set their monetary policies, reducing interest rates to incentivise spending when the velocity of money is low, and increasing interest rates when the economy is in danger of overheating due to inflation. Policy makers will not want too much savings invested in crypto rather than oiling the real economy.

Ah an. Man said Hojberg passed and ran alongside his team mate for the assist. I'm finished abeg.

If not for the running alongside dragging away the defender, will his teammate score? I'm all about the end result. Some people want to see Pirlo pass before they hail assist, but most assists are made this way through constant effort and runs of teammates which people like Jorginho don't have legs for. After all that was the Kante template we used to defeat Real Madrid. Even in Rugby, guys score most tries because they can feint a pass to teammate running alongside them. This is what players like Thomas Muller do every game for Bayern. Most goals are scored by overloads and isolating defenders two on one, not by Pirlo type passes. Maehle was only able to cut inside because the defender was trying to block the passing lane to Hojberg.

The goal was made by Hojberg, from the breaking of play in his own half, to the pass to the goalscorer, to the diversionary run. Man literally cooked the food for Maehle and served it to him.

We are missing a very important point. Who are the biggest buyers of crypt0? It is traders not miners that move prices. Nigerians trade more crypt0 than china. If China is clamping down on mining, miners would move to crypto friendly countries to continue their biz.

I seriously doubt Nigerians buy more crypto than China

Mining being banned is bullish - creates more scarcity

The China ban portends more Govt regulation around the globe. The reasons they gave are valid reasons and goals of any stable society and rhymes with warnings given out by other central banks

Say you didn't recognize him cause I don't think you really watched him play with all these contradictions you've been spewing, Don't lie ontop UEFA and FIFA's head, Let me wait and see the next Amala you want to turn now

I don't see any FIFPRO11 there.

All I'm seeing is 5th 11, 7th 11 etc

How can you play for the most visible club and National team during an era of back to back trophies and not make FIFPRO 11 once.

Every other regular Barca and Spain player made it except Valdes and Busquets. Sometimes they even bring Puyol out of retirement to add to the FIFPRO11

China's crackdown on Bitcoin has been happening for years.

The narrative has always been the same.

The difference this time is that China are launching a digital Yuan and want no competitors. I'm sure China sees digital Yuan as a move to usurp the dollar as an international instrument of trade

You can't put the whole country on wallet and allow them to access speculative instruments through wallet. It can cause recession if BTC crashes having your whole population educated and familiar with using crypto wallets. They can easily go from using digital Yuan to buying Cryptos which no country wants for 100% of its population. It can cause a financial crisis and social instability for them.

In my mind, I just need to factor in how much of the current crypto marketcap is attributable to China and adjust my strategy accordingly.

This dolt said Busquets is still playing at high level. Yes he is still playing like someone that drank 4 cartons of beer before entering the pitch to play.

The same Busquets you claimed is still playing at high level, you described as washed out below.



You didn't stop at that. You even asked your 'HIGH' level DM to be dropped for being useless here.



You have been deceiving yourself since APC was AC. Your moniker should be Liesteady not Homesteady. But you can't deceive few sensible Barca fans like those below.

You done catch them

I will not wish Busquets as DM on my worst enemy. No wonder Barca have been copping disgrace after disgrace while Busquets jog all over the pitch.

When you see people talking too much about "positioning" for a DM, just know that player is too slow. There is no type of positioning that will help Busquets when a ball is played into space for an AM or forward and he is required to chase him down, nor any positioning that will help you keep up with a runner off the ball. It's that time you will see him disappear from camera frame so no one can question his positioning when the damage is done.

Yes!, They are my second favorite club. Third is Man City.

We know ninnies when we see them. We already knew you were a Barkabot from your comments on this thread and predilection toward ninnies.

Come and take Jogginghoe to Barca please. Combined with Busquets and DeJong, maybe na 10-0 Bayern go flog Una next time after overwhelming the white walkers in midfield.

Only a fake fan will support two teams in the same country, especially a direct competitor to Chelsea. By their fruits we shall know them.

swiz123:
All I see is you desparately trying to give that tout credit for what he knows little about. Eye of the needle pass that required a goal the tournament contender.

Maehle drifted strongly to his right foot to slot a fierce drive to the bottom corner -- a trademark goal of a good finisher. I only saw Hojtout giving him a simple pass after running like a mad man. Do you think your guy can score from that angle if it were him Maehle gave that ordinary pass?

Jorginho dominated in all his games as evident in Italy's strolling to the Knockouts. Horjtout nearly cost his team the knockout by missing awoof penalty he even failed to play at a professional level. Let me not even talk about him not appearing within the camera frame when KDB laid waste to his mildfield

KDB laid waste to what midfield?

Denmark dominated that game, Belgium good attackers made the difference. You can't compare who is working with KDB and Lukaku to who is working with Braithewaite and Poulsen.

Hojberg has been a crack this tournament. Jorginho has been playing Turkish farmers with better teammates. Someone even reported he failed to stay with runners in their game on Monday

DenreleDave:
Seconded..

Seun Sud freeze this thread till all coins recover

All coins done turn shïtcoin.

I took $2k loss yesterday on BeeTee and Matic with that China ban. I had a choice to wait for recovery or keep dancing on a knife edge. I said let me take the loss and either wait for $24k or confirmation of breakout above $42k.

I'm not swinging anything in this range again. I won't say we are in bear market but there are certain things about price behaviour that mimic bear market eg Good news (Ecuador, Tesla, MicroStrategy) no longer pumps market, but any bad news dumps market.

Openheaven2019, how far with Kusama. Over 40% dump in a week. "Good projects" done turn to shïtcoin.

Like I said, there is no such thing as good project in crypto, just the narrative of it. All coins are speculative instruments.

Are you a Barcelona fan? Do you watch Busquet religiously every week starting from 2009?

We will assume you are a Barca fan from the above.

No wonder!

swiz123:
I wanted to overlook this because you said you didn't watch the match. Those assists was gifted to him courtesy of powerful strikes from outside the box by the scorers. That's why stats can be very misleading.

When it was down to him to make the difference by himself, we saw him embarrassingly missing an awoof pk. If not for the resilience of those Danish boys led by our very own Christensen, Horjberg would have sent them home. No wonder Christensen was rightly awarded man of the match on their most important match so far. Your mcm should than Chris for carrying him along to the Knockouts

I watched the highlights bro. Damsgaard pass was an eye of the needle pass, freeing Damsgaard up to shoot from the edge of the box with no one closing him down.

The last goal, Hojberg took the ball on counterattack in his half, ran it to the opponent's half, gave it to Maehle and ran alongside him, drawing the Russian defender away to mark Hojberg while Maehle had an unchallenged run on goal to score as Hojberg drew the defender away. Goal made in Hojberg. Jogginghoe would have still been jogging in his own half and Maehle would not have scored that goal without the diversionary run to pull the defender away.

Against Belgium that's how his supreme athleticism allowed him pounce on a loose pass, go past a Belgian player and slot in his teammate to score. Jogginghoe would not even have made it to the loose pass because the Belgium midfielder would have got there first.

As it stands, Hojberg 3 assists, Jogginghoe nil.

Ibime will first lie that Iniesta went a whole calendar year with no assist or goal

E pain am!

It's not my fault bro, speak to your eunuch

Yes since 2012, Busquets has always been that sluggish and lazy Busquets o. Nobody can deceive me with that 'prime Busquets' nonsense.

Watch how they will soon tell you it's old age.

When their favourite ninnies are useless, they are quick to blame old age when the same player has been this sluggish for over a decade.

Same thing they always try to pull with Fabregas or Iniesta when you point out a particular season you're not happy with.

Mehn this China ban is serious oh.

Same ban as Nigeria but knowing the Chinese, they won't be doing much wuruwuru with P2P and trying to disguise it like Nigerians. Those guys follow their Govt like lapdogs. They asked banks to identify all transactions coming from cr6pto trading.

I cut all my open positions at 10% loss. Let me hold down my stables and prepare for any any at this stage.

So Roland17 has seen the light about Sergio Biscuits since 2012?

It's not everybody that watches football and just go along with the popular narrative the commentators are trying to force down our throat. Some of us study the game and know who are the real movers and shakers in any success story and who are the carryalong.

You don dey do like airmark

I so believe in the Hojberg dude. Let me put my name to him like Krychowiak and co.

His only problem is he went to Spurs who are going nowhere

Oh boy, the reds keep getting redder

Hojberg with another 2 assists today.

That's 3 assists for the tournament so far.

Swiz123 abeg help me check how many assist Italy's deep lying playmaker has dropped so far.

4-1 Denmark, a rout now, Nice break and run of play from Hojberg

Imagine that was Alonslow at 26-27yrs and coaches were already complaining about him, they want to tell us that its because of age, Playing Alonslow at DM gives your opponent an immediate advantage

Fans of slow escort DMs should read this.

This is why some of us won't stomach Jorginho in our DM position. No epistle or team success will make us stomach Jorginho

The latest result was a flaccid 0-0 draw to Shaktar Donetsk in the Champions League and it was result that really highlighted the central issues Bayern Munich are having in buildup play -- and most of the blame for that falls at the feet of Xabi Alonso. Despite the fact that the former Spanish international is only just 32-years-old and coming off the back of winning a Champions League trophy last season with Real Madrid, Alonso is a shade of his former self that saw him win two European Championships and a World Cup with Spain in 6 years. He's been a completely immobile type of playmaker for several years and while his passing ability may still be rivaled only by the likes of Andrea Pirlo or Toni Kroos, it's the rest of the equation that is making him a liability for Bayern Munich.

Just as Wolfsburg and Schalke demonstrated to open the Rückrunde, targeting Xabi Alonso is a viable strategy and one that hurts Bayern Munich far more then it harms yourself. Schalke further demonstrated that combining a high pressing defense that targets Alonso while simultaneously maintaining deep structured defensive lines is a very valuable strategy to killing off Bayern Munich's ability to build play. Furthermore, it also restricts the space for their intricate passing in the final third. Taking a page from the books of those two clubs, Shaktar Donetsk came out and shut down a Bayern Munich attack by first playing compact structured defense, then shutting down Xabi Alonso with the man mark and high press.

Fabregas fans like popizaino and BlueAngel444 should read this and understand why we labelled Fabregas a liability for Chelsea after noticing these exact same points of weakness that opposition started exploiting

I saw Alonso play at Etihad live for Bayern. He was good on the ball, he even controlled the game but City targeted him for errors and won 2-1. Alonso was not a DM, he should be played at CM and his lack of mobility became a weak point for Bayern in his later years.

This sounds like what teams were doing to Fabregas.

I actually agree. It's Pep fault for playing an old man Alonso as a lone DM..

Alonso is a CM in his younger days, much less playing an old version of him as a DM

Was Xavi not part of this World cup 2014 fiasco?

Xavi was finished in 2014. His Achilles problems were well known and he wasn't training regularly. Time for Iniesta to step up and run the midfield with a suboptimal Xavi and in subsequent tournaments without Xavi, we saw he couldn't.

Airmark, food is ready.

I have this analogy about centre backs - House niggas and Field niggas

House niggas organise the defence while you send Field niggas to man mark. Anything outside of that they become confused.

Gary Neville is saying Rudiger is a Field nigga

Havertz10:
I personally think that ibime in particular is just being sentimental, that clutch goal that iniesta scored against chelsea pained many Chelsea fans

Stats aren't sentimental. Sentiment is buying into commentators narrative that Xavi and Iniesta are running the midfield, then when you check the passing stats, it's only Xavi. I also fell for that narrative until I looked deeper into it and watched games in detail to see what's happening in the midfield.

Sentiment is continuing to hold on to that false narrative after Xavi retired and Iniesta could not run midfield with others, yet still holding onto that sentiment. Meanwhile Xavi ran midfield with many others for Spain while Iniesta played on the left wing.

Sentiment is awarding Iniesta Player of the Tournament in a tournament where he had zero goals and zero assists.

Sentiment is calling an AM with the output of Kovacic and less than the output of Willian the best of his generation.

I am very factual about my analysis of that Barca and Spain midfield and what I see is a midfield controller extraordinaire in Xavi, with an activity former doing attaché to his greatness.

Iniesta is simply the luckiest player of all time, protected on all sides by midfielder controllers and goalscorers who took him to trophies. If he played for your club as an AM, you will call for him to be sent on loan with that pitiful output.

Debroslink:
See you... Anything to discredit Iniesta sha...

Your conspiracy against Iniesta is a pure scam.

What scam could be bigger than the AM that never was?

Trevor012:
Read your post below talking about the importance of midfield . You are contradicting yourself Sir

You can twist words all you want. Everyone knows what it was. The midfield was not responsible for 2015 win but the forward line, and the midfield was not even 50% of how it was when Xavi was controlling it. Should MSN be swapped with any other forward line of their opponents, Barca for hear wien.

Iniesta fanbois should stop claiming other people's labour.

SiaSia only agreed to do what every Super Eagles coach has agreed to do since 1994 which is allow the authorities to impose players on him.

Man probably thought he was negotiating with the NFA.

Unlucky him.

Trevor012:
You are writing Epistles no one asked for . Who assisted Neymar vs Psg and Rakitic in the final? Who was carrying the Midfield when Barca won the treble

There was no midfield in 2015, only MSN
