He is playing Griekspoor in his semi final and its looking like a 2 setter ATM,
Djokovic has a double break in the second set.



Get your Popcorn and drinks ready for the first round of RG!

Two very appetising matches are scheduled

Zverev v Nadal - this pairing on clay has always turned out to be fantastic matches, Zverev has
to be favourite. Odds are listed at Zverev 1.25 v 3.90 Nadal. If Nadal is fit could he go 5 sets
with Zverev I wonder?

Wawrinka v Murray - Old rivals! Stan is slight favourite at 1.68. Given Murrays fighting spirit and
how all his matches see to be quite prolonged this could very well be a 5 setter!, both players are
probably at the same level currently.

Well done advert, properly professionally made.

This Commercial Isn’t About Pizza | Crypto Moves Money Forward

But they have linked BITCOIN Pizza Day with "Crypto", there is nothing specific about
Bitcoin or any other crypto specifically in the advert.

Its a pity there is no mention or graphic linking the advert to Bitcoin specifically.

It was a surprise for me that Novak Djokovich decided to play on geneva when the real action is about to begin in Paris. Maybe he wanted to have some actions in his birthday. He had not played the Geneva Open last season or ever. This is the first time Novak Djokovich is participating in Geneva open and is most certainly winning it. He might be widening his opportunities and increasing titles in his bag as he nears the end of his career. The geneva open is a clay court tournament, a lot similar to French Open which he's defending.

Nah, this is purely a training and conditioning excersize before the real action at RG, if he wins
the tournament at Geneva it will be a bonus, it is after all only a 250 event. His main
goals are to both win another grand slam and to continue his hold on the Number 1 spot on
the ATP rankings. He knows he is under pressure now from Sinner who lets face it is an
unknown coming into the tournament as regards match fitness and injury free.

Winning the grand slam rewards 2000 points to the winner!

In the latest video analysis, Crypto Banter predicts that Bitcoin could potentially reach $84,000 within the next six weeks. This forecast is based on recent Bitcoin closing prices surpassing key levels, indicating a strong bullish trend.
As with every such prediciton, its based on pure bullshit and its just a form of clickbait, especially coming from someone like Crypto Banter who is known for shilling shitcoins. And yeah, your title is misleading.




The thread title is misleading indeed, it looks like the OP is asking two different questions

Is $84k the Peak for Bitcoin?
Bitcoin could potentially reach $84,000 within six weeks.?

So its a NO and YES answer.

No $84k is not the peak for Bitcoin, I can say that with certainty, it will surpass that... at
some stage in the future if not short term.

Yes a six week window to reach $84k is possible. ATM I believe that we are hovering in an
approximately $69k window because of something to do with short positions, if and when
they start to liquidate the market will shoot up as more and more in a chain reaction
get liquidated, easy to reach $84k in that scenario.

That is fantastic news, I read it on the RG website also that Alcaraz has landed too!

https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/alcaraz-and-sinner-join-all-star-cast-in-practice-roland-garros-2024-may-22

We dont know what type of form they are in yet while Djokovic yesterday on his birthday
overcame Hanfman 6-3, 6-3 in the Round of 16 at the Geneva Open. He plays Shapovalov
or Griekspoor.

Ruud seeded 2 has to play Baez next and seems to have found some good form before RG.

I dont see other players in action this week like Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas or Rublev.

🍕Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day everyone!🍕

I was a bit impatient today and kind of ran out of time a bit so the photos are not as I would like them
but anyway I wanted to make this Pizza today, not tomorrow.

Shopping done today, I didnt make the base, just not enough space where I am ATM and my biggest
plate was too small for the pic . . . Roll Eyes

...but it was very tasty indeed!

In the Challenge Cup the Sharks are favourite at 1.61, Gloucester are 2.43, yea I would go
with the Sharks too.

In the Champions Cup its a bit closer, Leinster are 1.83 to Toulouse at 2.10. I think I'll do a
small bet on Leinster to win here, they will be so up for this being beaten in the last two finals.



NRL

Couple of close matches this weekend but the ones I'll be keeping an eye in are:

Cowboys v Wests Tigers - this is a chance for the Tigers to get a win, The Cowboys
are only 3 places ahead of them. Tigers though are massive outsiders @ 4.70

Sharks v Panthers - can the Sharks hold back the Panthers?

Rabbitohs v Eels - can the Eels keep the Rabbitohs in last place?

the heady excitment of Bitcoin Pizza Day

Nice one Zip.

I have found in the past that setting up a website isnt enough in itself, in order to generate
traffic there needs to be a lot of optimisation and marketing done in order for the search engines
to index and show your site and that takes a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of social media work
and a lot of maintenance.

I have created sites before for people but more work goes into actually getting it visible on search
engines than designing the site.

"SEO" - search engine optimisation might be something to look into to get more visibility for your
sites, I am kind of out of touch with it so I cant really give any specific pointers?

This thread - [INFO/WARNING] New Lydian Coin on Powercoin.it by tldr-hodl would suggest there is still apetite
for collectibles based on his last post...

Jesus and that gold plated one for insane $700 is marked as sold-out as well...
No wonder they just continue making this low effort stuff Roll Eyes

So yea it definitely worth having your site and maybe worth the time and effort to market it.

I hope whoever wins makes a beautiful thread and shares this with the community. The Mona Lisa in a closet, is just a canvas, lol


Theres no community interest because nobody has seen it.
Its just, "a coloring book". Only the artists know the magic of this piece.

We all put in so much work over 2 years. This book traveled the globe. This is an amazing story. The fact that someone dosen't want this shared frustrates me. It should be a thread explaining the story and process followed by all the pictures.

Good point Dane, it is a bit of an unknown, of all the participants only 2 have posted their work.
Maybe if we got all the images and created an official thread showcasing the completed project
we could gauge the interest from that. Otherwise we can run with the simple raffle between the
participants, and I would like to include myself in the raffle too! if anyone has an objection to that let me know






giammangiatoyou are the next participant, contact me

13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC never for sale? on: May 20, 2024, 09:00:29 PM
Such slogans are useful to promote the idea of decreasing the supply of available Bitcoins for sale on the market, so the demand rises, while the supply remains the same or even decrease, meaning Bitcoin's price increase this way through the basic supply and demand law of the market.

Of course nobody is going to just hold Bitcoin forever, because it doesn't even make sense at all, considering money exists to be used and to be reverted in benefical consequences for ourselves. Why would anyone have a tool if they don't intend using it anytime futurely? Just as a collectible, maybe? That would be a waste, anyway.

Personally, I would say to not take these effect phrases too seriously. Make good use of your coins by analyzing how it can be useful in your own life. Don't follow or copy what others are saying just to be part of their group or to look cool. It's actually dumb and doesn't bring any good for you in the end, rather only frustration and regrets.

I also think like you, I think it's just a slogan to emphasize that don't sell bitcoin too early or too cheap, keep bitcoin as long as possible because it will bring us many profits and benefits that we never thought about it.

Indeed, no one is stupid or passionate enough about bitcoins to hold on to them forever and never sell them. Because the purpose of all of us when investing in bitcoin is to be able to improve our lives, become rich...the ultimate goal is to have a lot of money and live the life we dream of. After all, bitcoin is just money, it was created to serve us, not for us to serve it.

There could very well be a percentage of Bitcoin which will not be sold for a very long time.
Because its such a valuable asset they could be handed down as an inheritance in the
future for example.

Another example is Michael Saylors Bitcoin which he stated at some stage that he
would never sell.

But the majority of Bitcoin will change hands at some stage, circumstances change
for a lot of people and while today you could say I will HODL forever but something
happens and we need to sell Bitcoin to finance something.

I wont lose any sleep about what the OP is reporting about.

Busy busy in Brisbane so!



Update on the URC after round 17 of 18

Connacht at home lost to the Stormers which means they are now outside the top 8 cutoff
for the finals and have to play Leinster next at the end of the month.

Lenister themselves lost to Ulster but they are focusing on a massive final coming this weekend
so they rested key players ahead of that.

The table as it stands fo the spots to reach the finals . . .





Over at the Premiership Rugby in England its the Play offs coming up or "Semi Final" at the end of
the month.

Northampton Saints v Saracens
Bath v Sale


15  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Everybody think different things about world and life but this is what i see on: May 20, 2024, 08:36:09 AM
I agree with Majestic-milf but for slightly different reasons.

We as humans are consuming our way through the earths natural energy resources like Oil,
Coal and Gas. We are depleting the soil of its nutrients and life and polluting waterways
and contaminating water itself and we are changing the climate systems.

In the near future the above resources will be less available to some and more available
to others, this will cause more inequality, tensions and unrest. So I actually dont think the
future is as bright as the OP makes out.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: May 19, 2024, 08:15:40 PM
Anyone fancy Jarry today against Zverev? He is big enough odds 3.30. I think he should
at least be able to take a set off Zverev so maybe an over rather than under.
Their H2H is 4:2 in favor of Zverev but both wins from Jarry came on clay and here it is 2:2. So one set for Jarry could be a good bet but I am a bit worried since Zverev served exceptionally well this tournament. Did not lose a service game before Tabilo. I think I am skipping this one. My money goes to PL this afternoon  Grin

I skipped it too Trofo, Zverev's serving has been fantastic and look at the match serve
stats for him today after winning the final....



With a service game like that its really difficult to break Zverev. It was a 2 set affair today.



A week away now from RG and I dont see Sinner or Alcaraz or Nadal playing
this week, I cant see any info about these.

Djokovic is playing Geneva to get some game time in, his main rivals here are Fritz
and Ruud. What to think if he doesnt with this tournament?
17  Other / Politics & Society / Re: We Are close to nuclear war on: May 19, 2024, 08:09:31 PM
I have said it before and I will continue to say it. Talking about a nuclear war or a nuclear apocalypse is disturbing and unnecessary if we have little to not power against that kind of weapons.
Instead of taking for granted we are doomed, it would be better for us to talk about the possibilities such scenario won't happen and eventually peace can be reached somehow, both in Ukraine and Israel.
People tal about this topic as it was not a big deal, as if nuclear warfare was comparable to regular warfare, then in reality it is not, it is beyond whatever we have seen in the past.
The bombs dropped in Japan by USA in 1945 were small and inefficient compared to what North Korea, Russia and the United States have nowadays.
God help us all.

I think everyone agrees that the thought of nuclear war is very disturbing. I just
find it insane how anyone, Putin, Biden, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping or any other leader
could proceed with launching a nuclear weapon.

I would also like to thinkhope that they all realise the futility of such
an action and that just having them is deterrent enough for any other country to
launch, so that kind of tempers my fear.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is "Sell in May" really a good idea (in the case of Bitcoin)? on: May 19, 2024, 04:47:44 PM
Its always interesting to see that monthly chart for each year posted by d5000 in the op,
but my view is that it all goes out the window when its only a month post halving. We are
in a Bull market now so I'm not selling. I dont trade so this saying doesnt apply to me specially
that we are in a Bull market post halving.


So what do you think? Is "Sell in May" a good idea in 2024?



When it comes to Bitcoin, I would focus more on the four year cycle. It’s backed by mathematics and has a proven track record. This year in particular with the halving, I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to be selling right now. You’ll regret it in a year. Stocks are more prone to an annual cycle of movements due to being more effected by the flow of money to the average person.

og the op made thread yesterday and today we are whaling.

hodl hodl hodl.

Funny that!

The market seems to be holding so we should indeed HODL too!

So after giving this some thought over the last few days I think the best outcome to finalise
this project is to just raffle it between everyone involved. I dont think there is a big enough appetite
among the wider community here to warrant a paid raffle or auction.

I'll give it another 24hrs and set up the raffle and roll the blockchain and to let anyone
post their opinions/thoughts.

Thanks for all the suggestions thus far but I think this is the simplest option.
