Union - URC
Round 18 - the final round before the finals, I think the final 8 has been decided. Position 8 and 9 are the crunch positions, Cell C Sharks in 8 are 5 points ahead of Benetton in 9th.
Benetton play the Stormers so they are not winning that and the Sharks at home play Munster, that will be a close game.
...and for the overall winner, its hard to see any other team than Leinster winning.

NRLTwo very interesting games in Round 8 of the NRL starting tomorrow, Rabbitos v Panthers. I fancy the Panthers but I also really dont know what to think of them, they have two big wins in two weeks and last week just scrape through with a marginal win and the Rabbitohs havent started great either. First game on Friday sees what could be described as top tier tear team before this season the Eels take on surprising ladder toppers the Broncos, this will be a great test for the broncos to test again where they are. I fancy both favourites ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogger.googleusercontent.com%2Fimg%2Fa%2FAVvXsEgIYd4-hZ7RTQ3h5VzgO_5aHp-YzIy9ZzyfQJl3rQhvdUfdamgx6vPgXc_S9jNScij5udZKV9GNoM6Pw0xCsqSwa09E-0eo3XaccArrxFC82ICHrRjj9EanCtg__pBpQk25M_bkyUXtXo98bStA8npG4iTXU5dGhaqCSOWvSvHEJRK0gE-pAjW3vju-&t=663&c=VvXvAuxFYy_0DA)

Also a lot of Normies/uneducated people would look at influencers and think they are being educated!
Influencers speak the kind of language these people want to hear and the demand for them is not going to dissipate because "cryptos" predominantly $hitcoins are constantly changing. Followers will always be looking for the newest, bestest and fastest way to get rich quick.

Sinner is playing Barcelona tomorrow as well as Tsitsipas who also plays tomorrow, this should be another chance for a final appearance for Sinner and maybe take the win from Alcaraz or Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas is not in good form and I don't think he has it what it takes to get to the final. On the other hand Sinner is in the form of his life but clay was never his strongest surface. This one should be for Alcaraz to defend the title. What is strange for me is that Djoković decided to play a smaller tournament in Banja Luka and what is even more baffling, Monte Carlo winner Rublev joined him there. is Djokovic prioritising the GS's and not putting too much into focussing on the minor tournaments but using them for match fitness and if he wins its a bonus....just my 2 satoshi's. On which tournament to play, when do the players notify or accept they will play? I'm sure they all check out their potential opponents. Tomorrow Tsitsipas plays Cachin and Sinner plays Schwartzman and today Alcaraz beat Borges 6-3, 6-1. I agree as would many that its Alcaraz' tournament to win/lose

They ask you to become their banker? you need to play smart for creating a contract and ask them to accept it, if they don't want to accept it, don't be their banker. You can make a contract if you will get 10% profit commission if they want to sold their coins or anything that you will have an advantages.
It's not that easy for protect their holdings, you will take a risk to make sure you hold in a safest place, not lose the seeds phrase, etc.
The question is not so much whether to keep their funds or not. The question is how to really get them interested in bitcoin so that they learn to manage it themselves. No I don't want to take a commission, I am not a banker. It's not my job. I'd rather they learn what bitcoin is for. That is a good approach, one of the main things with Bitcoin is obviously self custody of that wealth/Bitcoin and not to trust/involve any third party. Its a tough one trying to teach people I have had mixed results, I find the ones who already have an appetite to discover an alternative to the FIAT system get interested in Bitcoin and those who dont care or who dont see a problem with it dont have a need to become involved with Bitcoin. Eventhough the vast majority of people are only interested in what is in it for themselves I try to educate potential Bitcoiners on the merits of Bitcoin other than the "Investing" topic, put X in and get Y in return, there is way way more to Bitcoin than that.

Barcelona atp main tournament started today and it seems that it will be as exciting as monte carlo it seems that djokovic and the finalists of monte carlo will not be participating which is gonna be disapointing but with alcaraz coming back after the loss in the previous tournament he should be motivated which will make the tournament even better.
Sinner is playing Barcelona tomorrow as well as Tsitsipas who also plays tomorrow, this should be another chance for a final appearance for Sinner and maybe take the win from Alcaraz or Tsitsipas. Six weeks to go for Nadal to recover before the French Open start, but this comeback will be even harder. He has close to zero serious competition before that. The last tournament with serious competition would be the tournament in Rome, but if he is not fit enough to play anything before that, it would probably be even a risk to go to Rome if he wants to play the French Open so badly. I know for us outsiders it is hard to understand what keeps him from playing for so long, but in soccer you usually know a concrete diagnosis. Nadal often disappears for a couple of months and it is hard to know what he actually has. Is it still his hi injury? Or is he being overly careful and will French Open be his last grand slam?
@shogun47 he has tried a lot to return but those injuries keep coming back which has effected his return, and I too believe that he’s targeting one last glory at the the French open before he calls it quits. Lastly if he continues to play it would be a very bad decision, but I can understand why he would be keen and it’s because of his strong mentality which convinces him not to give up despite these recerinng injuries. Thats a possibility for Nadal to play his final match at the French Open, He is certainly targeting that one, maybe he will in future only play the GS's or only play the Clay courts? It will be difficult for him though not to be playing full time but the body will dictate what he will be capable of doing and how far he can puch himself to remain competitive.

In such wise, for the sake of knowledge and discussion as I earlier expressed above. In your own opinion where on earth do you think is the most important place on earth and why such a place?
There is no single place which outweighs other places, the planet as a whole has been in an equilibrium with every part of nature in balance until humans appeared. Some notable places which are high profile places are: The Poles, north and south The Oceans The forests Look at what WWF has to say, there are many places of high importance https://www.worldwildlife.org/placesWWF works to protect places based on the wealth and variety of life they support, the destructive challenges they face, and our ability to positively impact them.
ASIA Amur-Heilong Borneo and Sumatra Coral Triangle Eastern Himalayas Greater Mekong Yangtze
AFRICA Coastal East Africa Congo Basin Madagascar Namibia
SOUTH AMERICA Amazon Atlantic Forest Pantanal Southern Chile The Galápagos
NORTH AMERICA Arctic Chihuahuan Desert Gulf of California Mesoamerican Reef

That launch would have been historic and it will be very historic when it launches.
Musk and SpaceX have revolutionised the industry by being able to reuse the rockets multiple times and the same will be the case for Starship, a super heavy rocket and the fact its reusable makes launching this massive rocket feasable.

Do you have to wait for anything before you should start to DCA. For people that do not know much about signals, reading charts and knowing fundamental analysis, they can start to DCA and continue to DCA. I have been thinking that bitcoin will get to all-time-high that would be over $100000 next, that means that starting to accumulate at $30000 is not too late.
This is not trading, holders do not have much business with fundamental trading just as it is explained in the OP, holders should focus on the fact that the price of bitcoin is not yet still too high and buying weekly or daily with certain little amount of money is better than to miss the next bull run.
Thats it, if anyone has an outlook to the future as in long term and not get caught up on 2023 or 2024 then buying Bitcoin can happen anytine. Buy now, buy tomorrow and if the price drops - buy again, DCA is the way to go. So long as central banks and the FED play around with devaluing FIAT and the interest rates hopefully more people will realise Bitcoin cannot be messed with outside its trading value.

Big congratulations to Rublev!
He finally has his Masters 1000 title. He said after the match that his mental attitude was different now than it was in previous 1000's tournaments, it really comes down to belief and to never give up until the last point is scored, for or against.
It shows because he came back in that last set from 4-1 down to win 5-7!
Thats the belief and never give up attitude, delighted for him and his new team.
Must admit I did not think he has it in him to take a big tournament. Yeah he has the quality and he can win against anybody on his day but over the course of 5 or more matches he usually has a bad day sooner or later. And Rublev on bad day is not even top 50 player, he just doesn't have plan B if his shots aren't doing it. Yes thats what my wife said yesterday, he is kind of one dimensional, the main issue until now was his mental strength. Maybe and hopefully his new team will be able to help him develop his play and his head. The Barcelona tournament starts today and for either today or tomorrow I dont see him listed to play. He did say right after the match yesterday that he didnt want to think of Tennis, he was so tired...

6 wins from 7 outings for the Broncos is impressive, never would have guessed they would be in top spot at this stage, although there have been a lot of unexpected results thus far!
What the hell was that result by the Panthers on Saturday to only win from the Knights by 1 point....strange after the previous 2 weeks winning with big margins.
No upsets in the weekends games really, Leinster as expected won away but only by 3 points, Munster also won away and all other games had home wins!
Last round coming up this weekend . . .

That being said, my emphasis is on how Laszlo saw and valued his bitcoin as of then. Obviously he had more than 10,000 bitcoin for him to offer to buy. I don't think he bought with his whole bitcoin. Meanwhile I read somewhere that Laszlo earned upto 100,000 bitcoin while mining with other early progrmmers and adopters of bitcoin.
I believe that Laszlo saw his 10,000 bitcoin as $41 and not as 10,000 BTC. AND that is how many of us see bitcoin today and including myself. In 10yrs time, we could have thousands of Laszlos among bitcoiners, but the difference is that we won't make history as Laszlo did.
OR he seen it as PIZZA much like people view their bitcoin as future lambo's or mansions Thats it, past present and future, we all have spent, are spending and will at some tome spend Bitcoin in exchange for something else we want or need. In todays eyes we see 10,000 BTC as an astronomical FIAT value, Laszlo saw a chance to buy pizza with Bitcoin. Its easy to overlook that concept and focus on the now. It is a moment in Bitcoin time, a historical point but we are everyday making those moments for people in the future to look back at our transactions.

Sinner was not able to close the match and Rune has been able to win... each time this player is strongly unpredictable at least to me ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) well in the second and third set the danish player was playing again at high level and not like the first set where he was a "ghost" with a lot of unforced errors. Sinner has been able to recover a break point but against player of this rank he need more for a win... lets see an interesting final between Rublev and Rune! I got to watch parts of both semi finals, Rublev did unbelievably well, he left the court after losing the first set in a rage but came back on to blast through the second set 6-1, that is an indication of what he can do with the right mentality, he did well to overcome his negativity and go on to win the match, I hope he wins today but I fear Rune will be just that bit more effective. He showed serious fighting spirit against Sinner. Sinner was unbelievable in the first set, almost perfect Tennis, but second and third sets he had way to many unforced effors.

I don't understand and don't like what Elon Musk thinks and what he does with things he touches. His opinions are flexible, convenient and sometimes very problematic, and occasionally he just seems to do something because he can, while those actions can impact a lot of people. Like just a couple of weeks ago Musk replaces the Twitter Bird with the Shiba Inu, but then several days later the bird was thankfully back. He also initiated acceptance of Bitcoin for Tesla cars a while ago but decided against it a few months later due to potential environmental concerns. Considering such behaviour, I don't take the eToro partnership idea seriously. The partnership is allegedly a part of Musk's idea of making Twitter the "everything app", which is itself something I don't think is a good and reasonable thing to do.
I agree with you, anything crypto related which Musk has gotten directly involved in has proven to be controvercal and somewhat short lived, I feel if this partnership with eToro IF it comes to fruition would also be short lived, he could decide to pull the plug on it at anytime. Knowing this about Musk would eToro get involved? Has eToro even commented or confirmed on this new partnership?

I hope that you at least asked your wife permission to sell it
Yes I definitely took my wife's permission to sell jewellery, but happily I sold 1700 dollars worth of jewelery and returned the rest of the gold to my wife without selling it. Today I have grown that $1700 to over $2000. Making $300 profit by selling my wife's jewelry is a real joy because if I had kept the gold I would not have made the $300 profit. Now my regret is that I did not sell the rest of the gold and returned it to my wife. If I had kept it invested in bitcoins instead of giving it back to my wife, I would have made much more profit today. You did right! And well done to your wife for making the decision and realising there were gains to be made. As I said in my last post in this thread, they are only material posessions, they can be replaced, obviously there are items with "sentimental" value which are more difficult to replace. You will certainly see bigger gains by HODLING you Bitcoin than Holding Gold! Dont worry about the market price now, HODL for the future!

In the doubles the team of Fritz and Rune have pulled out, they are obviously giving priority to their singles competition. Imagine they could very well meet each other in the final!
They are both underdogs in their respective matches, Sinner in a big favourite to beat Rune, 1.49 - 2.6.
Rublev v Fritz as odds go is closer 1.86 v 1.91 - that could go either way really, but my head says Fritz.

I have emptied the remainder of my wallet on the Panthers to win by 13.5 points! which I think they should do, they are making up for a shaky start to the season. Look at their last two wins, +41 against the Raiders and +32 against the Sea Eagles.
The Warriors beat the Cowboys earlier 22-14, the Cowboys are F'd and remarkably the Warriors are in #2 spot on the ladder behind the Broncos.
And what about Storm losing yesterday to the Sea Eagles?
