. I was more considering how to begin to protect people and close off the almost guaranteed losses that come with btc pricing
Go buy everyone's BTC yourself, and send everything to a burn address. Best of luck. how about eliminate all onramps to btc. just eliminating the one click and lose simplicity of the btc scam would stop most people from getting hurt, right? Protect people from getting hurt? Just like inflation is hurting every poor person as well as every low to middle income earner in the FIAT system. What about quantitative easing in the FIAT system which devalues everyones savings. Lets hear what utopian financial system the OP would like us to switch to..... nigger, the us dollar had the shittiest inflation in history and still blew btc off the map the last year. You can have your pollution crash fuckstain kikery
bitcoin has always been worth less than you mined it/bought it .
This post doesnt fit right with your username. "bitcoin has always been worth less than you mined it/bought it . " Sounds like someone is hurting after buying at the ATH. Tell that to the people who mined and bought Bitcoin at $1, $10, $100, $1000 and $10000. [ignore switched on] |

Alcaraz is just that, big hitter without a week spot in his game. If he continues to develop as he should, he has future no.1 written all over him. Does not look like he needs mental coaching but if he finds a need for it in the future I am sure Nadal can give him some advice.
The commentators during the final at the weekend were saying that he really doesnt need that much Tennis coaching, he has all the shots and is able to know which to play and at what time. They also said that it seems they His team are focussing on the psychological side of his game, which I think was very evident in his service game for the match, he seemed super calm and knew what had to be done.
On the subject of probably the opposite of Alcaraz, Nick Kyrgios in terms of mentality and demeanor. Nick is playing on the Houston tournament and faces Paul today. I'm looking at who else is playing and to my knowledge there are no "Top 10" players present. Where am I going with this? well eventhough I am not betting on him, this is a tournament I actually think he could win this, it will be interesting to see what antics he gets up to or will he take it seriously and actually try to win it..... |

I know its hard to call but who do you think could challenge Iga for #1?
Osaka I think is the most likely challenger. Remember she didn't just make the final here, but she did so whilst still match-rusty and as part of a comeback. If this is a genuine comeback, then she will only get stronger as the weeks go by. Swiatek is certainly a deserving number one in the absence of Barty, but I don't think she'll sit there unchallenged. I agree, if she can get her mind right and deal again with the spotlight of being a top 10 or even #1 or #2 player she could be a serious challenger. I saw from her runner up speech at Miami I think she felt awkward to be there. ~snip
I agree that Medvedev was the only one so far who did standout amongst the young generation of tennis player that will replace the old guard. But so far, he has faltered, recently in this tournament wherein Alcaraz is the winner. So all the attention has shifted to Alcaraz as there are too much hype around him but he was able to back it up with a huge win in Miami.
I would argue that Medvedev is eight years older than Alcaraz Alcaraz is the youngest winner at Miami open (actually it was Djokovic before him), and third youngest player that won Masters (after Nadal and Chang), so I think that he is much closer to being no.1 than Medvedev in the long term all the others are also 23-25 years old, 5-7 years older than Alcaraz, I would not call them young, in sports that are middle-ages Sinner is going to be good, and is still only 20yo... but yes, this does just highlight how good Alcaraz will be (and already is), to be doing this sort of stuff at 18yo, 2 years younger even than Sinner. Alcaraz looks to be a number one in the making. Has there ever been a male Spanish tennis player winning such big titles at such a young age?  I would like to visit this again at the end of the year when we count how many titles he collects and maybe if he collects a Grand Slam also..... |

Can he be assassinated? of course
There are many people in Russia who are opposed to both Putin and this crazy war
Will he be assassinated? probably not
He has surrounded himself with the people who will support him no matter what,
yes men! It would be difficult to get to him but anything is possible.
It is becoming increasingly evident of war crimes being commited by retreating
Russian forces so I imagine the proper route would be to try him for those wrongs
in an international court of law rather than trying to eliminate him.
But do you think he will let those people put him in international court of law? I guess, he will avoid it as much as he can, and won't appear in public anymore. Even if we say, he committed war crimes, I don't think he will subject himself easily to this public trial. Who knows, right now, someone is getting paid to assassinate Putin, but with his security, I don't think they can? Leaders will always be at risk of being targeted in these times of war. I'm sure volodymyr zelensky is being targeted by the Russians. Its one thing trying Putin for war crimes in the future it will be quite difficult to abduct or arrest him, it kind of makes the assassination route a bit easier. Top snipers can hit targets 1, 2 and 3 kilometers away. |

I've seen them pop up all around me, in small convenience stores and even restaurants. I was wondering if it's a good option to buy a gift for someone else, or are the fees too high and it's not worth it? Also I'm not sure how it works but figuring they give you a private key, and how safe is that?
I tried once, selling a small amount. I simply wanted to test how they worked in person. In my case the one I used did not require KYC, you simply send the amount in Bitcoin required, when the payment is confirmet a QR code appears on your mobile, you scan it on the machine and it gives you the money. I don't remember exactly the fees but it was something like 5-10%. It didn't seem that expensive for what I had heard and a non-kyc system of selling fast. I would love to try one, if I had access to one where I didnt have to give personal details I would use it for sure to buy and sell Bitcoin but mostly buy. For no KYC I would be ok with a 5 to 10% fee I think. Having said all that, I have yet to come across one. |

And Swiatek could hold that #1 spot for quite a while at least this year if she can
continue to keep her performance level. The next 5 places behind her are very close
in points to each other but the one I would like to see challenging her is Osaka If
she can stay playing.
I know its hard to call but who do you think could challenge Iga for #1?

Rugby Union
The United Rugby Championship is taking a break for 2 weeks but no break for the
teams involved in the European Rugby Championship or Heineken Champions Cup
because that takes over this coming weekend with the first round of 16. I'll be making
a few bets but not sure on who yet.
I'm thinking:
Leinster to beat Connacht
Racing 92 to beat Stade Francais
La Rochelle to beat Bordeaux Begles

The key going forward is to manage the body and stay injury free. As an 18
year old his physique is impressive but it will be important for him not to get burnt
out so early in his career, there is many years ahead and I would imagine it would
be prudent to not play every top tournament so early in the career so hopefully his
team will be able to put his welfare ahead of $'s and ranking.

That brings me to my question "imagine a future without cryptocurrency Bitcoin and a world without digital payments".
___how will the world look like?
___will financial transaction be stressful and restrict?
___will there be anything like Bitcointalk forum?
___will the rate of jobless increase or decrease?
___will the rate of scamming increase or decrease?
The future without Bitcoin will look the same as with Bitcoin in other words Bitcoin isnt going to change the world. Digital payments have been happening with FIAT for years with Debit and Credit cards and bank transfers for example. Joblessness will happen regardless of whether Bitcoin is around or not because of AI technology and the world population constantly growing. |

Alcaraz has just win Miami Tournament! 2 set vs 0! 7-5 6-4 it was not easy on first set but at the end he is collecting a well deserved title. It was not really hard to bet on him since the other match they have played has been clearly win by the Spanish. The odds offered on Alcaraz winner against Ruud are not high, but the Spanish seems to be the favorite. There is only one precedent between the two players. About a year ago they played a game that ended with Alcaraz victory (6-2 6-4) even if it was another surface much more suited to his playing characteristics. Personally I will try to play a bet during the "live" match hoping for a 10% more odds. It is a risk (because I could also get 10% less) but it is worth it to maximize the final result. Today the women tournament ends with the match between Osaka and Swiatek! I have my idea of how the match will end, but I keep it to myself It was a great win by him, to get broken early in the 1st set and to break back later and go on to win the set. The 2nd one was easier for him, breaking Ruud's first game and it was not too much trouble. The interesting thing well, one of them anyway was his calmness to serve out for the match, it was like pure belief he was going to win. All our bets were fulfilled, I'm sure Trofo picked up better odds on Alcaraz early in the 1st set after he went 0-3 down! |

Isn't Michael telling everybody what he is planning? As far as know he is holder of the last resort now which means he is a supermaximalist which will hold his bitcoins forever and get every coin he can lands his hands on. Just watch a few videos of him on youtube and you'll get the idea pretty quick. He definitely is in love with bitcoin. Absolutely he is telling everyone what the plan is, I get multiple tweets per day exuding positivity. Bitcoin for him and Microstrategy is the only financial safe haven in a very uncertain financial future and to top it off having a monopoly on it is key. Its ok to be suspicious but there is no other way to stop him other than taking the remaining Bitcoin off the table buy buying and not selling. |

Big win by Storm and to hold The Bulldogs scoreless too, they take their spot
in #2 behind The Panthers.
Good win by The Eels too which brings them into 3rd. It will be hard to bet
against these 3 going forward.
I'm 3 from 4 in the NRL this round.
Rugby Union
I'm also 2 from 3 in the URC
Its hard to see any team other than Leinster winning it outright at this stage .

86% of the Russian public supports Putin's war, so he will not have any political issues for a while, IMHO.
They support it because it is their fight for survival. They may be exhausted by fighting and lose strength but if they do not fight then NATO will destroy them in the future. NATO and the Western media are playing a major role in fueling this war. NATO and the United Nations can stop this war if they want but they do not want. The United Nations wants to gradually cripple Russia by creating economic pressure. Russia alone is not responsible for this war If NATO is what endangers Russia, then go fight NATO or the US. Why are you wasting your resources in Ukraine? Do you think you will be in a better position after you exhaust yourself in Ukraine? What kind of logic is that? Your losses in Ukraine are $200-300M/day, 200-300 men/day. "Po plan-oo" I guess, lol. I think its fair to say NATO had just cause to have so many bases on the border with Russia. If Russias leader can do so much damage to a non NATO country imagine what would happen without those NATO bases. How long will this Ukraine invasion last? IMO as long as Ukraine gets military support it can resist so this coupled with the economic sanctions which wont be felt in Russia fully for a number of weeks yet could determine how long it lasts, it could be months. |

Rollbit have Alcaraz to win @ 1.32 and Nitrogensports 1.30 |

With ten minutes to go, the Broncos are down 6 - 16 against the Warriors - all three Qld teams seem to be playing a very patchy game this season - winning once, then tanking the next.
There are two more games today, the Sea Eagles Vs Raiders followed by the Cowboys Vs Roosters game in a couple of hours.
Yes, it looks like the cream is rising to the top. The Roosters did a right job on the Cowboys, 4-28. The strange one for me is the Rabbitohs in 14th spot. They are at home next week to the Dragons, which they should win. Rugby UnionI had a win and a loss today in the URL Connacht won not convincinglyand Ulster were beaten well away to the Bulls 34-16, really thought it would be closer. |

Rarity, yes but also its nice to have something different and something to enhance or embellish a display. It can be inexpensive and interesting IMO.  |

My prediction about the winner from few days ago looks good so far. I said Alcaraz or Kyrgios would be the only ones I could consider betting on. While there were still Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas and Sinner in the draw.
Medvedev just proved that he actually does not deserve to be no.1, on two tournaments where he need "some" points to secure no.1 spot for some time, he won "next to nothing", and that is a mentality issue, which puts him far from no.1 player nevertheless, competition is scarce these days, and he was lucky, but Alcaraz could change that soon enough, since all the others that you listed (Zverev, Tsitsipas and Sinner) are also far from no.1 spot mentality will be interesting to see Hurkacs (did not tracked his score in Miami) with Alcaraz, bet is still on Alcaraz True, I think Alcaraz is still going to be the favorite against, Hurkacz. Medvedev though, do you guys think that he has pressure on his shoulder as he is climbing to the ranks? He didn't win in the Sunshine tournament, and specially against Hurkacz, he could have a good chance specially when he comes back in the first set only to fall into the tie break. But in the second set, he was totally dominated. So it could have been a mental issue for him right now. He did say in the post match interview that he thought the heat had affected him and that he was struggling with it. Its hard to know with Medvedev or any player really which goals are more important than others, maybe there are multiple goals with equal importance, IDK. Is there pressure on Medvedev for the #1 spot ?Its hard to tell. Alcaraz v Ruud - It has to be Alcaraz and thats where my $'s and Satoshi's are placed, the guy seems to be getting stronger with every tournament. He has only dropped one set this tournament and despatched Tsitsipas easily enough. -snip-
Pegula vs Świątek the next semifinals!
Swiatek won with an impressive performance, and this year she's been amazing, at final will face Osaka this match is very likely to last 3 sets, this year she is already win 2 WTA 1000 and could be this the third for her and I bet for her to lift the throphy. It will be Swiatek vs Osaka for the finals in the womens side. Might be a 3rd set, I do agree, Osaka will have to play perfectly against Swiatek if she wanted to win in this tournament. If I'm not mistaken, this is Osaka's first final appearance after a long time so the pressure is on her to perform very well. Current line for Osaka ML @2.4. I'm betting on Swiatek, I think she is the stronger of the two ATM and I think Osaka is still very emotional which could be her downfall if things get in top of her. Its fantastic to see her back in a final but today I'll bet with the stronger player. |
