I suppose its a matter of perspective because some people will be affected more than others.

Personally from an economic point of view I have been working as normal, to working in the office
to working on different sites and I have had more disposable income to put into Bitcoin.

The repercussions of the pandemic are enormous. Certain businesses are suffering along with a
large portion of the public both personally and economically. Fiscal stimuli are a short term relief
for many but the long term effects still lie ahead.

I seen his tweet and I follow him on twitter, its his primary means of social media communication.

This is a great resource for people who may want to get into Bitcoin but are hesitant, we can all
send them this, its another tool in our arsenal.

We have to commend MS for what he is doing. He has realised what Bitcoin can do other than
its Peer-to-Peer functionality.

Hmm I wouldnt actually put her in the favourites group, I am looking at Barty and Osaka as the
top two followed closely by Halep, Muguruza and reigning champion Kennin.

That sounds like what I saw but it was a different chart, bloody hell I cant find now.
It was on twitter but it doesnt matter, it correlates to PlanB's model although it
showed a lot of variance or "possible" price ranges, not necessarily April.

EDIT :::::::::::::::: Found that chart

https://twitter.com/danheld/status/1357705845027590144?s=19]danheld - Bitcoin is right on track

4766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Future? on: February 10, 2021, 07:03:41 AM
Bitcoin has caught the attention of large scale investors, ones who can put
like TESLA $1.5 billion immediately.

They are doing this primarily because it is the safest place to put that Cash/FIAT/Wealth.
They are moving part of their Cash reserves into Bitcoin because central banks
are printing trillions of £/$/€.

In the future we will see a few things happen, the above investors will move more of
their cash into Bitcoin, there will be more investors to join the strategy and more OTC
customers will realise the benefit of Bitcoin.

ATM We OTC [over the counter] customers along with the above investors are only 1%
of the population.

No need to worry for the future,

Buy quick, buy the dips and hodl

Competition helps everyone, and may entice more and more high wealth investors into crypto.

These trusts are really aimed for big investors but as they get involved we all benefit from the effect on Bitcoin.

all i can do is wait for a response

Did you get your email or do you not received the claim portal mail ?

I wrote a ticket back in December and received an automatic response saying that they were going to be closed for vacations until the second week of January and that they were overloaded by tickets, so the estimated waiting time would be February.

In my case, I received the answer last week, so don't worry if they are slow in their response, as they will eventually answer your emails.

About the information they ask for, it is quite difficult to remember all the details, but I hope they are flexible and understand that most of us don't keep the track of all these details.

I would say there are quite a number of tickets to go through, patience is the key, what else is there.

They will definitely have to be flexible, who would have kept a daily record of their holdings?

is anyone now keeping more of a record and saving emails for lodgements/withdrawals?
I have started to be more mindful of creating folders for exchange related corresponce in case
this sort of stuff happens again.

Thats an impressive statistic!
So he's the duracell bunny of the tennis tour, I think his last win was with Andy Murray at
Queens 2019 Doubles.


The first big surprise happened at the tournament, Bernarda Pera, American born in Croatia, beat one of the tournament's biggest favorites Kerber 6:0, 6:4.
Due to the Covid and prolonged isolation, it is obvious that many players are not fully prepared and that we can expect many surprises in this tournament.
Yeah, thats been an issue for a few players. Some were isolated and not even allowed out of their hotel rooms because of COVID protocol but I think they were given a week or two to prepare for the Open. 

Quarantine for 2 weeks is not easy for anyone. It is also difficult for athletes, to stay in a hotel room for two weeks. Too bad for her.

I agree quarantine for 2 weeks is not ideal but it was for everyone, granted it effects
some more than others. There will also be against the odds upsets too.

Yes I know, just saying in Sinners case he was after going the full distance in the previous tournament
and had more of a case to call trainers on and Shapo using his toilet breaks and trainer time
and then giving out to umpire because he didnt get a 3rd break.

I'm big fan of Sinner, good ethics on court.

Too bad Sinner lost, but these are the tricks that the more experienced players sometimes play. I don't like it, but you see it on a lot of sports (even on a lower level).

Tsitsipas just won very easily against Simon: 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. He seems to be in top shape, so hopefully he can go all the way!

Yes I understand these are "legal" tactics to disrupt the opponents rhythm, not very sporting.

Tsitsipas is definitely in good form and to win easily against Simon who is a good player.

Did anyone see the "new 17 year old" Carlos Alcaraz or Spain today? he had his first Grand Slam
win today and Rafa is very impressed with him.
4771  Bitcoin / Press / 2021-02-09 - BLOCKFI Bitcoin Trust to compete with Grayscale on: February 09, 2021, 07:27:41 PM
This is big news IMO purely because it brings Grayscale into a potential battle.

Blockfi today announced it is to provide a Bitcoin trust much the same as the
biggest player Grayscale does at the moment. Blockfi plan to undercut Grayscale by 0.25%

Source : https://www.coindesk.com/blockfis-bitcoin-trust-takes-aim-at-gbtc

Crypto lender BlockFi has launched its bitcoin trust with an annual fee that falls 0.25% below
what industry-leader Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) charges investors.

With a 1.75% management fee, the fund started taking subscriptions last Friday and the fund
has nearly $30 million in assets under management, according to its website. Roughly six to
12 months from now, the trust should be available on over-the-counter markets making it
tradable through brokerage accounts, Prince said.

The company’s joins Bitwise and Osprey Funds in competing with Grayscale’s dominance
in the bitcoin trust market. (Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk parent company Digital Currency Group).

get WeSellCryptos some more exposure.

Yes Hodl, Ride the wave and buy the dips.

The S2F model is unbelievably interesting and how the value of Bitcoin has been
following that model. nobody knows the future but its still unbelievable how the
tracking is working out.

I saw a chart recently which pitches Bitcoin at $100k approximately around April 2021,
I'll see can I find it and edit my post.
4774  Economy / Speculation / Re: Apple is buying Bitcoin on: February 09, 2021, 01:30:26 PM
We all know Paypal has adopted Bitcoin, and prior to last weeks announcement VISA were
providing services by its card, last week they announced further interest in Bitcoin

Visa Signals Further Crypto Ambitions With API Pilot for Bank Customers to Buy Bitcoin


So who are their main rivals, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Mastercard, its just a matter of time
before there is news that any one of them are getting into Bitcoin
4775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: February 09, 2021, 10:40:51 AM

Tsitsipas V Simon should be a great match up,

Another 5 setter today was Sinner V Shapovalov, I didnt see it but was supposed to be a
great match. Sinner lost 3-6 6-3 6-2 4-6 6-4 and played gallantly but I guess it was an
uphill battle for him after winning Great Ocean Road tournament after coming through
a tough semi-final.

Shapovalov had a 2 toilet breaks, trainer on and giving out to the ref, totally different to how
Jannik Sinner conducted himself.


Tsitsipas had been in real good form at the ATP cup, I think he's way better than Simon and should be a comfortable 3-0 win for him. In case of Shapo using breaks and trainer, it is in umpires hands to judge and decide if he's doing it to get an advantage or a genuine concern. Not much Sinner can do in that situation other than wait.

This is the most exciting time in crypto history! I mean, a prominent figure like Elon Musk endorsing Bitcoin? It's genius! It shouldn't be long enough before Bitcoin touches $50,000 per coin. I don't know about you, but I'm going to keep buying and hodling Bitcoin.
After Bitcoin Doubling the ATH of 2017 ? sure those businessman are now confirmed that this market is is legit and will surely a Place where the investment is more safer than any market at all.
Quote
Things are going to get a lot more exciting in the upcoming months as people are joining the crypto hype. Dogecoin went from less than a penny to 8 cents thanks to Elon Musk's endorsement. Even Bitcoin soared to $44,000! We even saw PayPal joining the Blockchain revolution. Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies will continue to pump like there's no tomorrow.
We can't tell that these are true because it can be a coincidence or small fraction that turns out.
Quote
With Tesla now deeply invested into Bitcoin, I wonder which other company will be next?
Amazon? or Giant banks? who knows.

Im calling Amazon Pay wlll soon enter the space, they have to,
Rivals Paypal and Visa are already here in their own capacities.

They wont want to get left behind!
4777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: February 08, 2021, 10:49:31 PM
It was an interesting first day of the AO with a few big upsets on the Men's side and Women's side. Monfils was the big upset on the Men's side losing to un-seeded Ruusuvuori in a thrilling fifth set match. There were a few fifth set matches with some of the top players, I think it shows that they are building on their fitness after being in quarantine for a while. In the Women's draw we saw a huge upset with Kerber losing in straight sets and not even scoring a set point in the first set. The other upset was Riske losing in straight sets also, I think we'll see more upsets today as some players might not be up to match fitness.

I'm looking forward to tonight's match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Gilles Simon, it should be a great match and as I have a bet on Tsitsipas I hope he can get the job done and also I'll be watching him closely to see how he looks.

Absolutely @acquafredda
and it wont be long before the time comes where we wont be able to buy Bitcoin below $50k.

Tesla have $20 billion in cash reserves, I would say more of that will find its way into Bitcoin
putting more pressure on supply medium to long term.

Being a member on BCT means you will have to read a lot, we all have to do that,

The numbers are eye watering!
The $1.5bn purchase by Tesla should put them as the top owner of Bitcoin.

That list of 36 companies account for 6% of Bitcoins supply with Tesla to increase that.
Alot of that Bitcoin wont be hitting the market again for a long time.
