The headquarters of the National Rugby League (NRL) is in Sydney. Greater Sydney
is home to 9 of the 16 National Rugby League teams: the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs,
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers,
South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters, and Wests Tigers, as well as being the northern
home of the St. George Illawarra Dragons, which is half-based in Wollongong. A tenth
New South Welsh team, the Newcastle Knights, is based in Newcastle.

Well, it is a clever plan to install it inside the Senate Building, because it shows the rest of the decision makers that "Bitcoin" is a household technology and also that the concept can work. The Senate will not be positive towards Bitcoin, if they do not see that Bitcoin can become a "currency" and that there are support for it.  

Well Done... to Senator Indira Kempis for making that move, let's hope she can change the President's mind on Bitcoin becoming a currency, because a lot of remittance are being done between Mexicans working in the USA and their families in Mexico.  

This guy just won't go away. He's like a parasite that attached himself to Satoshi and isn't willing to seperate himself from him/her/them. He clearly craves attention like crazy and is willing to do anything to remain in the limelight.

Even though he is extremely rich, I still pity this guy for the reasons that I mentioned above. His greed for money and fame has led to his reputation getting screwed royally.

This guy is an excellent example to demonstrate why too much greed can lead to negative consequences in life. You need to be satisfied with what you have.

Sorry, but no, I won't watch that interview.
The more the people watching such videos, the more the chance more such videos will be made, helping the troll get more attention/popularity.
(Also I expect my brain hurt from those lies )

1. When you bought your first  crypto collectibles? [What "triggered the spark"

?]

Seeing the Polymerbit Notes. I have always collected "Stuff", Notes, Coins, Magazines, Newspapers,
Pencils, Vinyl, Camera Film for example. I have never been able to afford items which I really wished for but it
never stopped me from admiring what was available. The Polymerbit Notes have been affordable and very
collectible so they were my first dive into this field.

2. What did you love about this sector?

 [What excites you more about this kind of objects?]

Well at the moent Bitcoin is my #1 interest, without a doubt. And like Bitcoin itself I think we are still
at the early stages of Crypto collectibles. There is a lot more to come and still the allure of collecting some
historical items of importance/interest.

3. What future do you see in this kind of collection? [Will there be an expansion based on the largest number of users who approach crypto currencies?]

I actually dont know about this one, I thought I read somewhere a few years ago that Numismatic
ollecting was fading out with fewer younger people getting involved.
Crypto Collectibles could be a different story, I would like to think it will grow in the future. As regards high
quality original fine art Crypto artworks, I think they will always have a market

4. What do you think are the objects or types of objects that will have a greater interest or revaluation in the future? [Coins? Drawings? Stamps?]

Everything, but the rarity of those will play a big part in what is collectible, Limited edition Coins from
creators with a big catalogue of items, Similar to what krogothmanhattan is doing with his new coin ideas and what
MrCryptHodl is doing with his/her series as examples.

5. What advice would you give to those who are entering this sector for the first time?

Dont know TBH

6. Can you post your collection item that you think deserves more attention? [The rarest, the purchase you dreamed of, the one you are most fond of?]

Currently - There are two ^{I have purchased these so I have direct knowledge of them
willi9974's Limited to 21 customisable 30g coin still hasnt sold out, and Hhampuz's 2 coin set limited to
100 still hasnt sold out. In comparison to other new coin projects which sell out quite quckly I feel these
should deserve some more attention}

7. What do you think could be the “holy grail” of collecting bitcoin/crypto objects?

Anything with a production of 1

8. Do you think it's a hobby "for the rich" or can it be started by "penniless" collectors as well?

Depends on how muc you have or how muc you want to spend, there are low
value/priced nice collectibles from makers on ETSY to coins like Bitcoin Penny items which
are very acheivable.

9. What do you think about the dilemma of those who buy items paid for in bitcoin rather than keep bitcoins themselves? [It is the exact opposite of what happens in classic collecting where an inflationary system favors the long-term hodler...]

The simplistic way I look at it is: If I buy a collectible with FIAT, that FIAT could potentially
be used instead to buy Bitcoin, If i pay with Bitcoin I can still buy Bitcoin again with FIAT I could have
used to pay with. Its sometimes more about owning a physical item than what its value will be in
X number of years. If we all followed the strict long-term hodler thought this hobby wouldnt exist.

10. Observations / comments / ask yourself a question and give an answer.... more...

Need to think more on that, I'm sure there are more Q's

It seems to me that Djokovic is just making excuses. Everybody would have expected that he would have won but he lost and as you mention, he doesn't has played a lot of matches so he is missing some match rhythm.
He is indeed gluten intolerant but already made the switch to the diet a long time ago.

I never heard of these physical coins. Wow!. How many do you have and the value?

snip

Hello. Please excuse my lack of knowledge using a forum and a bitcoin. I was hoping someone could help me. I have a physical bitcoin that I bought in 2012. It has a hologram on the back which is intact. I was hoping that someone could help me to check the coins validity and help with how I can use the keys to put it in a wallet.

Thanks for any help possible.

Round 56 Payments have been sent out!

Thank you all for yet another great week, keep it up and my apologies for the delay on this one.

No new positions have opened up!

We need to understand that Djokovic has played only a few matches this year and that he is not completely ready yet.
Due to the vaccination situation, Covid Đoković could not play in many tournaments, and therefore he is not at the right level yet.
Probably everything that happened in Australia psychologically affected him as well.
I expect his level of play to rise slowly and he will be fully ready for the GS in Paris.

Understandable. They probably do not have the technology yet to fully implement this.

To be honest, I didn't know that such country exists in Africa (no offense to those who live there). Upon looking it up, it seems they do not have their own local currency just like El Salvador and also a country trying hard to recover economically. Bitcoin won't solve all their issues but it might attract some foreign investors and tourists.

The Central African Republic is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the southeast, the DR Congo to the south, the Republic of the Congo to the southwest, and Cameroon to the west. Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_African_Republic

They do have their own local Fiat currency ==> Central African CFA franc (XAF), Bitcoin (XBT) and they have +/- 4.83 million (2020) people living in that country.

Let's hope this spreads to the rest of Africa and that it will replace digital currencies like MPesa in Africa.... if all of this is true.

LOT 2

...the Raiders then went to the pub to watch the game...

Before anyone even starts thinking of it, here is an article from the South China Morning Post, the arm of the English language propaganda of the CCP
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3172028/russian-gas-sales-china-will-not-make-loss-european-markets

Short story:

Russia can only sell 10% of the gas it sells to Europe to China, there are not enough pipelines, and even the ones in construction expected to be finished 4 years from now will only have 1/3 of the capacity.
As for selling gas to India, good luck, there is no such thing even in construction.

As for oil, it doesn't even matter, all that Europe has to do is outbid others, let's see who can afford gas at 3 euros, the EU or Africa or South Asia.

The government approach is not excellent at all, or maybe of how I see CBDCs, my country created one already and I see no good need for it than to use our fiat, the CBDC created by the government in my country has its own digital wallet but not on multicoin crypto wallet, it was said that it was not even a cryptocurrency, it can not be used on exchanges ornbenstored using keys generated on crypto wallets. Government suppose to create a kind of CBDCs that can compete with USDT and other stable coins on crypto exchanges which is what the governments should do, not CBDCs that are not cryptocurrencies that have no way to compete with stable coins. Assuming the governments have their own stable coin that are cryptocurrencies, people will prefer to use it compared to using USDT and others that are just created by private companies. As USDT dominates stable coins, it can even still be freezed on noncustododial wallet. The government are taking a wrong approach in my opinion as CBDCs are just totally fiat and nothing specially added.
