Great update Krogoth.
If the printed paper has lasted this long I guess its a result, what could change that result
going forward? the PH of the water? added chemicals like chlorine perhaps - IDK...
Anyway this is a great service for the community you are giving!

The biggest obstacle to financial freedom is being part of the FIAT financial system. The
system is designed to make it easy to become dependent, for example Mortgages and loans.
Once you avail of their products you become enslaved, 25 or 30 year mortgage, to be completed
when you retire, loans for items we cannot afford and/or dont need and which will need
updating with newer products with newer loans.

Yes good win by Ireland, it was won really in the first 25 minutes. The final score was 10-34. Wales gave away too many penalties in those first 25 minutes and Ireland were clinical. In the second half Wales came back into it to score a try and Ireland gave away a few penalties which Wales couldnt capitalise on. The match stats read for a close enough game though. 
I didnt get to see the second game, England v Scotland but by all accounts it was a cracking one, close enough with Scotland clinching victory with 5 minutes to go and killing my parlay! Final score 23-29 |

I'm sure traders dedicating every waking moment to studying all sorts of charts -
every day can put a handle on what way they will go but for the vast majority of us and
especially the ones who have zoomed out as welsh has mentioned we are not moved
by trying to predict the markets.
Also bear in mind that Bitcoin is a decentralised entity and so is not subject to any rules
like traditional trading is subject to be so there can always be manipulation in the markets
making it trickier to try an "predict"

me too - for me Nadal has always been a legend to me.
YOu are right he would not give up that easily - but that too is true -sometime the injuries are fatal and they kick off the players off their career.
It's not just about giving up, you have to see how Federer is still trying to be able to play and win the GS especially Wimbledon because it is his favorite surface but that didn't happen because an injury forced him to retire because his body was no longer able to compete and maybe Nadal would be the same but retiring with such great achievement is something to be proud of. But I guess his injury is not that worst compare to Federer or to Andy Murray, so with proper exercise, he could rehabilitate his body to still compete at least one GS in this calendar year and chase another title and get one ahead of Djokovic. So we will see, I doubt that he will retire though, of course his name is in the discussion of the GOAT. But so far, Djokovic is still far from retiring so he can still more GS from Nadal, but for sure Rafa has a target for this year's slam. His injury is not so serious. But what I think is it is already hard for him to actually perform at the top level considering his age. He is already having to play against a lot of younger and agile players. It is going to be harder for him if he has to play with even a little bit of injury on top of that. Djokovic is not retiring soon. But we have to remember that he is also 35 years old. Sometimes it is actually hard to believe that Rafael Nadal is 36 years old and Novak Djokovic is 35. Yes I agree with that also, it is hard to believe Djokovic is 35 and still looking very strong and injury free. I would argue if COVID hadnt have happened he would be ahead in GS titles now, but yea thats only speculation. Anyway it will be hard to bet against him when he is playing anyone other than Alcaraz? Provided Alcaraz can return strong and injury free. |

Yeh, I put wagers on the six nations quite a while ago not realising that the games weren't on until this weekend. I'll get back into my account and check who I've got a dollar or two on and post some info here overnight.
Nice to see @Welsh stop in for a visit too. ☺️
Ah, February is the time for the Six Nations, What kind of odds did you get I wonder? Was driving a lot today and got to listed to a lot of Rugby pundits about the first game tomorrow, Wales v Ireland. The general consensus is that Ireland will win but it will be tougher than expected and could be close enough. Wales have the returning coach of Warren Gatland qho has an Irish history and has played many mind games over the years and have caused Ireland a lot of trouble. I believe the roof at the Millennium Stadium will be closed so its going to be a real cauldron of atmosphere. |

He would probably like to have everything. And all at the same time. But winning a real Grand Slam is probably the biggest thing of all. Especially because the last Grand Slam was quite a long time ago: 1969. Although a Golden Slam is even better. But only Steffi Graf has achieved that so far in 1988. But next year would be another opportunity for that.  Novak Djokovic has performed really well in this recent Australian Open. So, I think we can expect a good performance from him. In this Australian Open actually, no one even came close to him in terms of competition. So, I believe that he's going to perform really well in this tournament as well. But he will have some competition, better competition at least. And the best competition for him is going to be Alcaraz. There will be a lot more skillful gameplay on display. Yea its probably going to come down to Alcaraz to lead the challenge depending on his injury and if he can make a full recovery. All the entry regulations in reference to the Corona Vaccination are lifted in the USA at 11 May. This will allow Djokovic to play at the US Open and chase another Grand Slam title. However, it is not certain whether he will remain number 1 in the world rankings. In any case he will not be allowed to play at the tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami. So his pursuers have two possibilities to get closer to him or even to regain spot number 1.
This is amazing news for Novak Djokovic and now he has a chance again to attack all 4 grand slams to win them in a year. With the level he is playing he might win them all. Only the French open might be a big problem for him due to him playing on clay where he isnt the best. Amazing indeed, this year is working out in Djokovic' favour, being able to attend the AO and winning it in such impressive style and restrictions to be lifted for the US tournaments. He will be stoked by this and will keep the X factor going for him. He will indeed want it all! |

Rugby Union - Six Nations The annual flagship northern hemisphere Rugby Union tournament kicks off tomorrow.  I will go with Ireland and England to win, France are unbackable and will be the favourites to win the title. Wales could be tricky for Ireland but the favourites should win.

That isn't brand new. Ever since that bitcoin and its market has been established, countless times FUD were made and even if the actual news doesn't have something to do with it, they're making their articles relevant.
But as we know when these FUDs are made, I guess that we're seeing the sign that the bull run is soon to come.
It's more worrying when they start to praise the market as the opposite of it might occur. Just always remember that.
yea its nothing new, for my whole Bitcoin life I have been hearing negativity from the media. I know the Winklevoss twins but I dont follow them, and I'm certainly not going to pay to find out what shitcoins they were involved in to cause their trouble. The way I read that headline is that if it was Bitcoin which caused their trouble the headline would read that way but it doesnt. |

the main ones i remember was
"email wont catch on" - postal service
"digital photos wont catch on" - kodak film
Ha ha - as a photographer, I know that one about Kodak!
Nice graphic by Huobi, its actually quite a strong one.
Stay away from any Bitcoin FUD and always remember that Bitcoin has faced death so many times and still prevails, this is beyond stoppable for the haters now, the only thing they are capable of is the CBDC and FUDs.
So true, when I hear that crap in the media it doesnt even register with me anymore. I have heard it all before and have become completely desensitised to their messages. |

Thats a possibility, I wonder what the order of priority is for Djokovic, Targets like No.1 ranking, numbers of Grand Slam wins and overall tournament wins are there for sure but I figure the 4 Grand Slams are the top priority. They have the biggest prestige, biggest prize money, he is tied with one if his biggest rivals and wants to pull clear of him and also GS titles are a measure of greatness, not just now but in the future, its like building a legacy! |

and even of you did miss the bottom by what? $4000 - now its like 20%, when Bitcoin is
$100,000 its only 4%.
So what do you do?
Buy now, think of the medium to long term and be stress free,
OR
Wait until Bitcoin pulls back by $2000 to try and catch another bottom and run
the risk of the price going in the other direction and then you still have to buy at
a higher price.
Best not to get too stressed, Buy, DCA and be calm!

cryptocurrency or should I say bitcoin in particular is not something that is strange anymore in my locality.
The key to a successful bitcoin investment is holding and that's what i intend doing
Well done OP, this is the start of your Bitcoin Journey. I like how you distinguish Bitcoin from crypto and that you made to move with Bitcoin rather than some random on trend project. You are right also in saying that Bitcoin is becoming less stigmatised although it is still open to attack in the media. |

I'm not going to give up on Nadal yet, we all know he's getting kind of old and injuries affect tennis players a lot since it's a one player game, but he's not the type of player to give up easily, he had his downs throughout his career and bounced back, I'm expecting him to win a couple of big tournaments before he retires, if his body doesn't bring him down, the mentality to win will always be there with El Matador.
The major tournament that Nadal is still likely to win is the French Open, the only type surface that allows him to win lots of GS titles. This year's French Open will be held in May-June so Nadal has time to be able to recover from his injury even though the time that is still quite long is not a guarantee he will recover because it will really depend on the injury he experienced during the last Australian Open if it's too bad he might miss this tournament Regarding Nadal's injury I quote statements from his social media that Nadal's injury is not too serious It was a level 2 injury to the psoas iliacus muscle in the left leg. Nadal also said he would rest for a while for his recovery which is estimated to take 6 to 8 weeks. That means Nadal will recover before the 2023 French Open next May. OK, clearly the French Open is his main target, this is his tournament having won it ONLY 14 times previously. This will be massive, both Nadal and Djokovic now have 22 GS titles, if Djokovic wins it I cant see Nadal catching up. There is a bigger chance Djokovic could take Wimbledon too to put a wider gap between them. |

That was a great win by Scarlets, 37 - 28, a bottom of the table team slaying a top
of the table. Scarlets were 27-7 up at one stage. @Welsh - do you think they would
have been able to hold off the Bulls if there was more time to go?
It was touch, and go for a while. Bulls really did turn the pressure up, and you could see the Scarlets caving into the pressure. However, they did really well to be honest. Soaked up the pressure, and then sucker punched Bulls right at the end. In fact, they nearly scored a second try towards the end of that game. As for your question, if the Bulls played like that the whole game, with that amount of pressure the scoreline would've likely been vastly different. However, that's just speculation, the important thing is the Scarlets actually got a pretty decent result, and possibly an unexpected one for most people. Yes I know, its just speculation, main thing is they got the job done and held on/finished strong. They are at home again in their next game against the visiting Edinburgh but in between that the Six Nations will be on. I was out all day yesterday and wasn't able to see any games yesterday. Overseas, I got bets on the Leicester, Saracens, Gloucester and London Irish about to play. Closer to home: I won on New Zealand, South Africa and Fiji (to win) then lucked out on Australia who were defeated by France. (3/4)
This morning in Sydney 7's Mens, I'm playing it safe with bets on all the favoured sides: USA to bet Uruguay, Kenya to bet Spain, Canada over Tonga, Argentina to defeat Japan, after yesterday's games I'll say Ireland to win Vs Grt Britain, then New Zealand over rivals France with a close finish between South Africa and Fiji. Sydney 7's Women:Last of the big spenders, I've put a dollar on each of the following: Canada to bet Spain, ever hopeful Grt Britain to bet hosts Australia, Fiji will give Japan a lesson, as will USA over France then the Irish will show the Kiwis how its done. 6666 I got a few winning bets on for the 7's too! I took Ireland to win against Fiji @ 2.47 which was a great price and they did the job 12-26. New Zealand are very strong, they are top of bothbMens and Womens tables. I find it hard to keep on top of the games, who plays who etc. they are short games so its all happening hard and fast. |

The halving is a big event but what has happened previously is the markets moving
either side of the actual halving.
In the past people have been asking if "the halving has been priced in" and with the last
one it pretty much was.
So expect the markets to move before and after the halving. I like to see it as the 2
big years in the 4 year cycle being the first and last.
