Question:  Whose head would roll at Tesla if Bitcoin were to surge immediately after the bitcoin were sold?  

Answer: No one's because no-one at Tesla does anything without Elon Musk's authorisation.  It's his company after-all.

Saying Tesla chose to sell bitcoin is like saying the dog ate the homework which is a poor level of responsibility for Musk to take.

From the press conference commentator:


If every person were to own DOGE, then it would be spread out not quite 20 DOGE per person across the entire planet.  These are the kinds of points that need to be drummed into people when they compare Bitcoin's apples to DOGE's oranges.

My three choices to be in the finals to win the US Open, the French Open and Wimbledon are Ashleigh Barty, her recent doubles partner Jennifer Brady and Ashes singles finals opponent Aryna Sabalenka:

Now it's my turn to say "Oh no, sorry..."  I completely forgot about having to archive my post.  I've posted a screen shot and I'm already up to 2,002 threads I've posted in.  I'll be sure to make amends when I reach 7,777 posts.

If I'd checked the leader board before making the call above, the only one I would have changed would be the Roosters (4^th) instead of the Knights (now down to 11^th place overall).  I managed to see the first half of the Panthers' game - they played very well and had most of the possession of the ball.  All in all, not a bad choice, the hard part will be in the semis when then leading teams start facing off against one another.

I'm guessing once you had just bitcoin and a little bit of ether as well.  Then, a year or two ago you splashed out the cash (say $20 at a time) and bought about a dozen alt tokens.  Suddenly two or three have done so-so to okay while the rest have just crept along.

Ask yourself how long you'd like to hang onto the coins for, then come back in about half of that time to re-appraise your portfolio.

I was just getting ready to help rebroadcast the RAW transaction, but I see it's already had twenty confirmations. (At a $40+ TX fee).  Thanks Hhampuz for getting the payment out promptly.

Yeh, I noticed a guy at work was always bragging he'd sunk a LOT of money into bitcoin before it went to $20,000 a couple of years ago then bragged then bemoaned when it started sliding downwards.

As Bitcoin reached $50,000 this year he went eerily silent about owning any Crypto.

Funny that.

I managed to see the second half of tonight's first game ( Storm 40 - Sharks 14 ) and the first half of the second game ( Broncos 36 - Titans 28 )



The Broncos played a much better game catching up to be 22 - 22 at half time.  I thought the Titans might come back refreshed and blitz the Broncos, but the tide had turned.

So far this round I've picked two of three games, hopefully there won't be anymore upsets tomorrow.

What a quaint website that is full of pictures of animals roaming about with words superimposed on their torsos and photographs of cakes and stories of people who missed that boat and so on and so forth.

Thanks for trying ... I guess ...

On a Zap wallet?

How?

A milestone of sorts - I have now posted in exactly 2,000 unique threads (it's only taken me a few week shy of eight years to reach that particular milestone).



I'm still many weeks away from 7,777 posts, then a few more weeks away from 8,000 posts.

OK, main image shows the various piles I've been sorting through.  The second image is a pile of some of what I've got to sort through...  Third and fourth images are some of the pages of cards which I've discovered my Father has inserted three or four cards per insert on every page. 

The majority of the cards are © 1999 - I'm going to have to get myself a magnifying glass to look at the various dots, stars, paws etc in various places.  There are very few 10 HP, not one 20 HP AT ALL some 30 HP (above the yellow energy cards), a large number of 40 HP (above the Purple energy), 50 HP.  Slightly less 60 HP (above the green energy cards) (moved down due to the afternoon shadow on the cards when I was trying to take the photos).  Much less 70 HP, less still 80 HP and almost no 90 HP or 100 HP cards.  The trainer cards is the largest pile at top right of image.  Even the energy cards have slight differences in the same colours - and I've only found just two grey energy while the other energy colours have dozens of cards.

Last pic is the box I'm still going through that have other sets - a truck load of Dragon Ball Z, Warlord Saga of the Storm, Magic The Gathering, DIGIMON, Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game, some Coca-Cola Collection,The Simpsons, Harry Potter Trading Card Game (all mixed in together with yet more Pokemon Cards) for some inexplicable reason) not to mention (not photographed, NRL, NFL, Australian Rules, Star Trek and Star Wars trading cards to name a few...

It might be better if you PM me a list of your wants.  I've looked on eBay and the prices are all over the place.

First selections goes to @bullrun2020bro then I'll open it up to other inquiries.  Payment in BTC and Escrow to be negotiated depending on the quantity ordered.  Postage will be from Australia with tracking.

Just to rub it in - a two point field goal in the last 30 seconds of the game.  The Raiders had a try disallowed five minutes earlier, so it was definitely not the finish they were hoping for after their strong start to the match.

The Rabbitohs are off to a shaky start to round eight of the NRL 2021 season:



(Half time and the Raiders are leading 16 - 14)

My picks this round are Rabbitohs, Storm, Titans, Panthers, Eels, Knights, Cowboys and Dragons.


IIRC that's better odds than the ones over at nitrogensports.eu where I've been placing my NRL wagers for a few weeks now.


Hopefully I'll remember to place some wagers and see if they do good.

(I've got bets on the Chiefs over the Blues and the Hurricanes over the Highlanders...)

In off topic news, a Baseball mad fan at work has put me onto The Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants teams who are playing every other day and so far winning more than they loose with odds between 1.5:1 and  3.5:1 - I've also put very small bets for the World Series Boston 67:1 and San Francisco 30:1

Plus if you dabble in Tennis, Ash Barty, her recent doubles partner Jennifer Brady as well as Aryna Sabalenka who Ash beat all have 15:1 odds to 35:1 odds for the French Open, US Open and Wimbledon and are my picks to put bets on this season.

You've made a grand total of six posts having started three separate threads and name two and imply there is a third Casino that has ripped you off...

Isn't it time you stepped away from the computer and admit you have a gambling addiction?  The very fact you time and time again register, gamble, win (and who deposits $100 then gambles $10 at a time? - That's just ten rolls all up - you couldn't be that lucky!) then are unable to withdraw your winnings means what?  You're an idiot for not reading the fine lines when registering?

Proof, or, it never happened.

According to blockchair.com your TX is in <15k^th position with >65k TX's in the mempool.  As to when it might get into a block - that's the $64k question...

I don't suppose you could post a link to the original tweet?  Most people at the moment have the classic FOMO surrounding bitcoin and crypto in general.  Bitcoin and altcoins to a large extent were created as a means to make electronic transfers / payments securely via a one way system with the block-chain / ledger as proof of that payment.

It's a technicality to say "Tesla" sold the bitcoins after it's owner/creator talked up the price.  It's another thing entirely to hold coins just for the sake of HODLing them as he is doing.  After all, there was a price surge a couple of years ago when ransomware demanded payment in bitcoin prompting companies to go out and buy BTC on spec just in case they were attacked.

I wonder how many & where those coins are now?

Are you sure there are actually profits in Tesla's bottom line?  Or, is it just that the price of bitcoin has risen and (on paper) the market capitalisation of those coins makes it appear as though Tesla is doing fine?  If I had funds to invest in bricks and mortar stocks, I *might* invest in Tesla, but it wouldn't be the only stock I invest in.
