but he won the following 2 sets.

On Tsitsipas, is it my imagination or does he seem to do better in the lesser
competitions rather than the grand slams? I definitely think a lot was expected
of him last year but has only 2 titles and more expected this year. I think he is
good to win Rotterdam, he should beat either Rublev or Felix AA IMO.

Two semi-finals today in Rotterdam:

Tsitsipas v Lehecka and Felix AA v Rublev

TBH I was surprised with Lehecka's win over Musetti, I'm glad I didnt bet
on any of the quarter-finals yesterday. I cannot see him getting past Tsitsipas
as per the odds:

Tsitsipas 1.11 - 6.20 Lehecka

The match between Norrie and Felix AA seems to have been a right old
battle over 2 sets, We should see a stronger year this year for Felix. Will he
manage to get past Rublev? The odds suggest it will be close:

Rublev 1.62 - Felix AA 2.26

Lot 3 - 0.0006

Lot 3 - 0.0004
Lot 5 - 0.0082

Lot 4 - 0.0008 BTC

There will be those who will be influenced by the FUD which will precede and follow
whatever policies the FED introduce but for the most part those sufficiently educated in
Bitcoin will realise it wont change in the long term.

These all-star games are presumably teams formed from picking the best
Indigenous players from both Australia and New Zealand, how many games
are there in this series?

Week 2 coming up this weekend, First game of the weekend is Wales V Scotland.

I'm betting on Scotland to win this game, Wales are still missing 6 key players, as was
the case last week and Scotland will be looking to build on a massive win over England
last week. Odds on this game are: Wales 1.91 - 1.85 Scotland.

Second game on Saturday will see Ireland travelling to France, This has the makings
of a cracking match, again France looking to build on their win over Italy last week but
this is their first big test. I'm going with Ireland for this one, they are playing a new
brand of Rugby but they need to get the changeover of personnel  better than last
week, the subs took a bit of time to get up to speed with the game.
Odds on this one are France 1.89 - 1.87 Ireland

 

LOT 2: 0.0008 BTC

LOT 3: 0.0002 BTC

correct Fortify, I suspect this thread will be deleted or at best moved to the "Goods"
board but I'll comment anyway, I dont get the idea of the image, the two cars shown
are completely different models/makes. Is the image supposed to be a "new" v "old"
of the same car?

I think this makes sense at this current time for Russia at a stage when they
could be facing further sanctions from the U.S and Europe.

Bitcoin I would imagine helps counteract sanctions. It would also offer a
good option to sell the dollars they get for oil and buy Bitcoin.

I believe this current news moves Bitcoin into the same taxable band as
currency rather than stocks which I think is a positive thing for everyone in Russia?

Andy has a tough match today, 24hrs after his Bublik match. He is scheduled
to play Felix AA, The odds are: Murray 2.60 - 1.40, I' m going small on Felix AA
to win this one. Next day match for Murray v a real up and coming player.

I also have Rublev to beat Kwon and Tsitsipas to beat Ivashka

I used to use Exodus along side hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger.

The interface is really nice, slick and modern but I use solely hardware wallets
now so I have full control of my coins. If you want to get a Trezor hardware wallet
you can pair it with Exodus, its kind of handy to quickly view your hardware wallet
balances.

From time to time I use Coinbase instead of Exodus, I believe Coinbase is
a cheaper alternative when moving coins.

Murray did well to get past Bublik, tough tie break first set and all it took
in the second set was a break.

The benefit of being a top player with multi grand slam wins and more
grand slam runner up's is skills and experience, these are carrying Andy
through his flexibility and movement until he comes up against those
players who have the same or better skills and more movement.

This could have been a test he set himself to see if he could continue to
play a bit longer, maybe others around him were saying advising him not to
return and he was adamant to do it. Time and surgery are not good combinations
when you are in the second half of a career unfortunately.

Yes UV light is detrimental to newsprint which is a VERY low grade of paper.

It really reacts to all sorts of things, UV light as above, handling the paper
will "contaminate it" and the other page it touches will react with it too.
Even the inks used are low grade to keep the costs down.

They are ultra disposable items, made for a 24 to 48 hour window.

I would suggest making a copy of the page you want to and display that
^{which is going to yellow with light and faded print}.

When storing make sure any other paper and/or plastic is "acid free" because
any acid will affect the newsprint paper.

I know of newsprint paper because I trained many moons ago as a newspaper printer.

Well there we go, today we hit the first resistance, $45k. The next one
after passing $45k and building support at that will be the $50k mark.

Traders like to set their sell orders just short of these $5k intervals, I used
to do it myself, something like $44,750 or $48,825.

That is the difference between Bitcoin and traditional stocks, there really is
no minimum, so yea $10 is possible but why so conservative? If you can
afford $10 x 10 that would be better.

I remember back in 2017 ^January I made my first move into Bitcoin
and I conservatively bought $100, 5 years later and I look back and see I should have
started with more.

I'm going with a Murray win over Bublik, I'm figuring Bublik wont be able to back up
his tournament win last week against Zverev. We have seen it a lot last year with
Tsitsipas and Sinner, they bow out of a tournament early after winning the previous one.

I'm also going with  Felix AA to win tomorrow as well as a win by Hurkacz over Musetti @ 1.26.

I had 3 wins from 4 today, Shapovalov got beaten by Lehecka, didnt expect that one.

4 bets on for tomorrow at Rotterdam, there are a lot more matches on tomorrow.
I have Norrie, Tsitsipas, Shapovalov and Rublev, again all favoirites and small bets
like 0.05 mBTC.

Norrie @ 1.68 v Humbert (which has actually just started)

Rublev @ 1.17 v Laaksonen

Shapovalov @ 1.18 v Lehecka

Tsitsipas @ 1.17 v Davidovich Fokina

Had two wins today and need to get a few more to top up my pot!
