This Grand Slam marks the end of an era for one of the biggest stars in Tennis, Serena Williams is playing her last tournament and is on court in a couple of hours against Danka Kovinic.
Its sad in a way but nothing lasts forever except her legacy, soon it will be turn of Nadal, Murray, Djokovic and officially Federer.

I wasnt aware that this was discussed before on the forum! Anyway, yes I would be in favour of a child board of the Goods board just like the Collectibles Child board. The two boards would be interlinked, many physical items are loaded with NFT's. @sweeteye created a thread recently about this topic in the Collectibles board > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411201.msg60825838#msg60825838Hey all,
Would love your opinion on this. I'm spending an increasing amount of time in the counterparty/XCP (bitcoin blockchain) collectible space and while there are channels and web marketplaces for artist's to sell their physical work, I think that this may also be a place given some of our past sales history and our collective community proclivity.
Several of the XCP artists I'm in touch with may be interested in listing their physical work here - an original painting, drawing or rendering of their NFT, or of other artists work that they've been gifted, bought or traded for - all XCP/BTC project based, and in my estimation, all collectible.
As my first love (and collection) is art, I'm compelled to support some of these artists here if there's a market and interest from our community.
Would love opinions and am open to suggestions as well.
Thanks.

From the thread its clear that there is a massive community of makers and collectors of NFT's out there and while the space may be in decline I would guess its finding its realistic level while speculation levels out and the real collectors stay. Just my 2 sats

Whatever about filing legal claims against individuals like Hodlonaut, taking on Coinbase and Kraken is a real game changer IMO.
We all hope Hodlonaut is able to wound CSW but I would imagine its the might of Coinbase which could end CSW's persistent claims?
He really has a neck like a jockeys ar$e, but I would say he has a false sense of success. Hopefully Hodlonaut can cause the first wound and Coinbase finish the job and Kraken to bury it.

^ Yes I think so too. Maybe the top 6 players could eventually be quite close and players performing better on one surface more than others, it will just remain to be seen.
In terms of a sport being dominated by a very minority group of players I can give the example in my own case of Forumla 1 and Michael Schumacher, it was great at the start but a few seasons in and he is winning everything I switched off and lost interest, there was no competition.
You can't really compare F1 with tennis. That Schumacher titles were influenced big time by the best car he drove and team strategy where he was first driver. Tennis is just about player himself and that is why mental component is so important, you are alone on the pitch and have nobody to cover for you if you have bad day. That is where Djoković and Nadal made their success, they are just so consistent and will find ways to win even when it isn't their best day. Yes, I get it but I was only commenting from a spectators point of view and my experience of watching pretty much the same result unfolding race after race, as a neutral I lost interest. A bigger number of tennis players with similar capabilities and are at the top of the game, each competing for wins is far more interesting than 3! Tomorrow Murray will be facing the Argentinian player Cerundolo, and the odds for Murray to win are pretty good, from what I have noticed, Cerundolo plays better on clay and hard court is not one of his expertise, so I think the odds of Murray to win are pretty good, 1.66 is not something I would miss to put on a parlay.
Indeed, good odds on Murray. Cerundolo is really good on clay and keep the rally going on hard court. It will come down to match fitness, in the end. Is Murray fit enough to last potentially 5 sets? if the answer is yes, then I think he's got the quality to get past Cerundolo. I agree that Cerundolo is a decent player but Murray's skill levels are still fairly sharp and they have made the difference in matches for him when his fitness levels have started to wane. There are good odds on him still alright.

congratulations for the idea and for the final result! I also like the collection behind you, really a great example for anyone starting out in this world. In any collector's niche YT views are just small number but your video could reach a bigger audience. It's just matter of time but I think more and more collectors will join this field. I would like to tell you this topic [Interviews] with crypto Collectors / Artists where I "made" some interviews with collectors and creators, feel free to take inspiration ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) and of course to take part and release your INTERVIEW ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Yes interesting art pieces behind you dane, and looks like there are more out of shot, it might be an idea to swap them about from episode to episode, although you have probably started already ... Anyway this is great, great start, great idea and very interesting. it means for us who are not well educated in the top collectibles we dont have to thrawl through threads and websites looking for info, YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT FOR US - nice!

^ Interesting Timelord, even last year I didnt look into the Womens NRL and will check out some highlights over the week. The results look like the games will be closer affairs than the mens. Rollbit dont have the games listed (yet perhaps) But They do have the Womens Rugby League World Cup outrights listed which led me to check that out. It starts in October!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Women's_Rugby_League_World_Cup

Its crazy to see what has happened with the flash floods in Pakistan. People are losing their lives and their homes. I cannot imagine myself, my family and my neighbours being forced to live on a boat after losing everything.
I hope irfan_pak10 that this thread gains a bit of momentum and maybe others can donate a small portion of their weekly rewards to your efforts.
If a lot of people give a little they can make a big difference.

^ I am delighted for you @darxiaomi, I'm sure the Argentinian Rugby world are on a massive high for a number of reasons as above and the first time beating NZ in NZ!
I can only compare it to Irelands experience of playing New Zealand and never beating them over 111 years until 2016 beating them for the first time.
Its great, I always had a soft spot for the Pumas, dont jnow why though.
Now they have to back it up again next week

right now i’m in debt for $6k but i want to keep DCA. should i focus more on pay my debt down or investing? This is an overly risky situation. We cannot tell if bitcoin will grow tomorrow or fall more. If you buy BTC and still can pay your debt as scheduled, you may be fine investing, but otherwise I'd go with focusing to pay the debt first. Else, in case of emergency, you will have to sell your bitcoins at a price you may not like. Yes it can be risky but it also depends on a few other details which the OP has not mentioned. * What is the term of the loan, 5 years? * How much is the OP required to pay per month? * Is the OP in arrears? I have posted before that I took a FIAT loan out and bought Bitcoin just before the last halving and saw gains of 5x. So I would throw something new into the mix and suggest paying off the loan ASAP within the next 12 months and then take out another loan this time next year before the next halving and pay off the loan in total about 12 months after the halving. I would like to add I am NOT a financial advisor, just my 2satoshi's worth of an idea. A safer approach would also be to do both, pay off the loan and DCA Bitcoin as others gave posted above.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINKY1234!!

I checked with ROLLBIT to see if they had the Womens NRL games listed, which they dont but they do have the outrights. I wouldnt have a clue about it though.
Yea I saw that the Panthers v Warriors game had only point spread betting available and I dont know about that either! Predictably the Panthers won.
ah the poor auld Broncos, as my dad would say the Eels "put Rugby out of their heads" they were going allright though compared to last year. They are now hoping the Sea Eagles do them a favour tomorrow.

^ I was thinking of the same concerns others had of the collectibles board been inundated with NFT threads but yea a child board specifically for NTF's is a great idea and could compliment the collectibles one and increase traffic.
It just goes to show there are other spaces where people are buying, selling and trading crypto collectibles, I for one am only aware of a few of them and wasnt aware of XCP ?

Nice update.
I'm going to use this app more regularly and will update my sales thread with it over the weekend.
Thanks ZipReg

Tennis is way to protective for both players and supporters. Players stop playing when somebody stands from their seats or if mobile phone rings, you can't even talk during points and if supporter was yelling something during serve he immediately gets removed from crowd. I mean grow a thouger skin, just imagine some footballer standing at corner kick and not taking it while there is someone talking in the stadium. Hell he usually takes it quickly before objects start flying towards his head and you learn to enjoy insults from opponent supporters, they are picking on you because you are good.
On the other hand you have Osaka, grown woman that breaks apart when somebody yelled you suck. How protected childhood you must have to never encounter such language. My six years old doughter gets juicier insults from her peers and any youth playing some sport professionally hears much more thrown his way.
I don't like Kyrgios much but he is a bit of fresh air in oterwise very stale sport. Who wants to hear Nadal praising his opponent for good game after he destroyed him 6:1 6:1. Just seems a bit phony to me.
I agree with a lot of what you say Trofo. Kyrgios though cant be commentating on spectators the way he does. I dont mind the giving out but getting personal is another thing. Please lets not hope that tennis ends up the same as soccer, there is so much toxicity both on the pitch and in the stands, nobody should have to deal with that. As regards Osaka, its a tough one, Its very rare for someone to shout out abuse like that, there was more to that I recon. And yea she and most players lead protected youths that they probably cannot deal with some personal heckling. That person was still in the wrong, its needless.

I've been away for a couple of nights and won't be able to put wagers on this week U till after today's NRL game has finished.
I'll pick the Eels to be too slippery for the Broncos and update my post tonight.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. The Eels still have decent odds though, 1.57 so I have the usual 0.1mBTC on them. Another interesting match with very favourable odds - Rabbitohs v Cowboys, the home team are favourites but I picked up odds on the Cowboys @ 2.55 - 0.1mBTC wagerd. Something else interesting is the match up between the Raiders and the visiting Sea Eagles, who are big underdogs at 4.7, I am half thinking of putting a dollar bet on then to make a big upset? The Raiders have their eyes on that 8th spot after the Eels send the Broncos down today.
