With a little knowledge and being able to be patient turns the Bitcoin market volatility
in your favour.
Being able to read some trading signals and charts will turn the market from being
something volatile to couple FUD and FOMO to, into a market which can provide
opportunities to make profits from that same volatility.

Personally this winter or 2023/2024 I have planted approximately 130 Trees and will
be adding a further 40 in this coming winter season. Apart from 2 they are all native to
my country, some are fast growing and some not so fast.
There is a saying that "The best time to plant a Tree was 100 years ago, the second
best time is NOW".
There is another big worry besides Climate change and that is Biodiversity. We are still
losing natural habitat in order to grow food predominantly to feed to farmed animals.
Forestry will help counter this as well as helping to control CO2.

Rounds of 128 playing today but Rafa plays tomorrow in his round against a Belgian player
I have never heard of, Bergs. Maybe serveria.com has heard of him?
Not really, I've never heard of him as well. He's not exactly junior, he's 24 yo but only showed up recently, prolly a late bloomer and just appeared on tour. Will keep an eye on him. Nadal won today eventhough Bergs took the first set off him. Tough second round draw now for Nadal because he faces Hurkacz ranked 7th seed. Djokovic plays Moutet who he should beat. On the WTA side I see that Naomi Osaka had another win today by beating Kostyuk, now through to the round of 32 to play Kasatkina. |

Round 16 of the United Championship kicks off on Friday with Dragons v Stormers,
I would like to do a parlay on a few matches but its tricky this round IMO.
Dragons v Stormers - Stormers are 1.11 to win which is about right.
Edinburgh v Zebre - Edinburgh are 1.01 = unbackable
Bulls v Warriors - Warriors are in top spot on the table but are underdogs away to 4th
spot Bulls. Warriors are priced at 6.2, that would nearly be worth a bet on its own.
Scarlets v Ulster - Ulster are favourites at 1.34 so they go into the parlay with the Stormers.
Sharks v Benetton - this is a tricky one, Benetton are 3.00 for the win, they have been
really good this season and were beaten in the semi final of last weeks European Challenge cup,
Sharks are favourite but this really could go either way IMO
Munster v Connacht - Munster go into the parlay at 1.19
Lions v Cardiff - Lions into the parlay at 1.11
Leinster v Ospreys - Leinster will be back to full strength for this round and are 1.03.
Total parlay value 1.93

I just checked the outright odds for the mens winner and in top spot is Djokovic, no surprise
there at 2.85. Closest to him is Tsitsipas at 10.2!
Rounds of 128 playing today but Rafa plays tomorrow in his round against a Belgian player
I have never heard of, Bergs. Maybe serveria.com has heard of him?
On the womens side its the same, its rounds of 128 playing ATM. It will be interesting to
see how Swiatek and Sabalenka play. Outrights ATM are Swiatek 2.35, Sabalenka 5.70.

The biggest reason for regulating online gambling is to restrict and protect underage kids
from getting addicted.
An underage kid cannot walking into a casino or a bookmakers shop here and place a wager,
its illegal but accessing a casino on a smartphone is very easy for kids and very difficult
for the casinos to verify the age of the user other than some form of legal ID like drivers license
or Passport.
So yea I think it is inevitable that there will be more regulations which aim to protect the underage
but will affect everyone.

Firstly, the "little girl" in most western countries is classed as an adult and so has full autonomy
over her own decisions and/or cannot be forced to do anything she doesnt want to do.
Secondly, I know so many people who have gone to third level college and universities and received
degrees in a certain field and are ow not working in that field but something completely different.
Attaining a college degree does not guarantee or is not a mark of financial or life success.
There are plenty of examples of successful business people in my country who never finished school
or even went to second level school.
If the girl has a real aptitude for a certain skill or interest she should be encouraged and supported.

I have in the past just created a Google Blogger blog and uploaded images ti that and then
copied them to the forum. All the images I have posted in the 7 years are still live on the forum
until I delete the blog.
Now I use Talkimg, extremely easy to use, creates the BB code to copy and paste, the only thing
I do is to insert the size of the image to make it fit better on other peoples viewer.

Its important to realise that long term HODL'ers are not going to sell everything all at once,
ok there are probably a small percentage who will.
I can speak for myself obviously, but I wont sell all of my HODL'ing ever, I will die with Bitcoin!
Its hard to move Bitcoin to another investment because there isnt anything even close to
yielding profits that Bitcoin can. Personally there is nothing I need other than some home
renovations.
I would like to buy a parcel of land and convert it to Forestry for my Kids and Grandchildren to
benefit from in the future when I'm long gone.

I don't know where you're from, but in place where I live, I wouldn't say that things is getting worse here. I would say that significantly less people smoke nowadays than it was 15-20 years ago. It's not just people's mindset is changing, but it's also getting too expensive to smoke.
But on the other hand more people starting to smoke things like IQOS, vapes and weed also. Not sure what is more harmful, but trends is changing. Curreent generation ternagers don't even look at these old school cigarettes.
We are in the same scenario, back when I was a kid, I remember smelling cigarettes in the morning just when I woke up and no matter where you hang out, they always smoke as if it is their food or something but everything changes when those people died and they were diagnosed with some serious diseases before they died caused by their chain-type way of smoking. That's gonna happen when you are addicted to something and you have the means to do it, you keep doing it until your body gives up on you. As of now, no one in this home is a smoker and I'm happy with that and satisfied. Yes, its the same in my country, smoking has become less and less, it is illegal to smoke inside like bars, shops and restaurants, and everyone complys with that. Smoking cigarets has also become very expensive, I think the big manufacturers have moved on to other markets such as where the OP is and is a reason why its on the increase. Vapes have filled the void left by cigarets and are now just as addictive which creates another problem waiting to be fixed in the future. |

After losing the first set Rublev didnt panic, he increased his game play for the second
and third sets and was able to break Felix in each to win the title.
With Sinner and Alcaraz out of Rome there will certainly be a few top seeds who will fancy
their chances even more, maybe Rublev already has his eyes on this title too, that would be
remarkable. Ruud needs a good result in Rome too.
Women start tomorrow I think.

I heard the Australian Women's team won their match, but that's all I've heard so far.
No Timelord, it was a New Zealand double! The women won 31-21 from Australia and the men just beat Ireland 14-17. Ireland now are only 2 points behind Argentina and New Zealand in 3rd in the pool with only 1 round remaining. 
The finalists of the Champions Cup have been decided for the Final in 3 weeks, it will be Leinster v Toulouse. Leinster held on to win at home against Northampton, only scoring 5 points in the second half but defense held up 20-17. Toulouse were too strong for Harlequins 31-21. |

The 7's finals are under way with the womens 3rd place match live now, France have
beaten Fiji by a whopping 7-29.
Next up is the final New Zealand v Australia, this is for number 1 and 2 positions overall.
New Zealand are favourites but I think a small bet on Australia might pay off @ 3.15?
Later its the mens finals:
3rd place final between Great Britain and Australia
Grand Final between Ireland and New Zealand - have to back Ireland for the win!
Argentina finished up in 5th beating South Africa, I'm not sure if Ireland beat New Zealand
do they take the top spot from Argentina?

Woke up to see BTC at 63k this cold Saturday morning, although I'm excited but I'm kinda skeptical and have questions.
Really? Are you excited by bitcoin being 10% down from its ATH? Is that it? I see it as a day like any other, but maybe for some people, specially those who bought in the recent dip at 58k it's something to celebrate.
I would be with Iamcrypticguy on the outlook and generally of a view of the 'Glass half full". I would rather see the market rise than fall further from where it was. It might be 10% down on the ATH but its now about 8% closer than it was before this thread. Well we do not know where the price of Bitcoin is going to go to. Bitcoin price of 63k is not a price I did think it would be after the halving we just did.
But this is not something we need to be concerned for. I do think we are still going to see a big 'bull run' before the end of the year. I do not think we are going to see price of 100k for each Bitcoin but the new all time high I think will happen.
The previous halvings showed that directly after the event the market falls and then recovers to break the ATH. I expected this to happen which I'm sure others did too. |

Aaand the new Madrid Open WTA champ is Iga Swiatek! She defeated last year's Madrid champion Aryna Sabalenka 7:5, 4:6, 7:6! That was one hell of a match and Aryna had 3 championship points during the match!
Madrid ATP tournament is one of the weirdest of all time: a lot of players have withdrawn including the semi-finalist Jiri Lehecka.
Just saw the highlights of the womens final, that was a great tennis match, very close which is what we want to see from the two top seeds and what the organisers want for the tournament.
On the mens side the tournament has been a very weird one. The commentators at one stage after Lehecka retired said that this scenario happened before, a finalist getting 3 walkovers to reach the final. Rublev is favourite at 1.35 which I think is right. |

Will price create another ATH from here or is this a dead cat bounce? Let's share opinions below.
The crypto market is currently not good, so whatever you want to do with crypto, especially Bitcoin, you need to think carefully, as much additional information as possible is really needed in the current situation. You need to know that Bitcoin has now passed a new ATH and halving, so many experts and investors are having difficulty guessing the direction of Bitcoin's development at this time, but many people are speculating and predicting Bitcoin for some time may be one or the other the next two years there is no further movement after what has happened, as you mentioned $63k or $70k, overall the downward direction is most likely, but experts do not say how much. Honestly, for me the best step to take right now is trading, I see many people don't think about the new ATH anymore, they take advantage and follow the current crypto market movements, to get good results in the crypto world. Yea as ever its a great time for traders but not everyone has the knowledge or time to make trades but buying the dips in a bull market should always pay off really. Fortunately I was able to buy at just below $58k.
The rise to $63k is just a sign to me that we are in the post halving bull market and should be doing so for the next 10 to 12 months, that means rising....with pull backs along the way just like we had recently. These are perfect conditions for traders. |

Adam Reynolds out for 3 months - thats a massive blow to the Broncos. That was a very
costly match with the Roosters, losing 2 players who will be out for months.
Over at the Rugby 7's its play off time.
In the Mens quarter finals its Argentina v Ireland, thats a massive match to come later today
for a chance at 1st and 2nd spot.
In the Womens again Ireland have a tough quarter final draw against table toppers Australia,
Ireland are MASSIVE outsiders at 9.20.
At least both Irish sides are guaranteed points for being in the top 8

Thats a dream final for the tournament organisers for the womens side, the two top seeded
womens players. I think I'd fancy Swiatek to win this, she has won all her previous matches
much easier than Sabalenka has.
The mens final however is a strange one, unbelievably Felix AA has another walkover into
the final after Lehecka damaged his back last night. In the post match interview Felix had mixed
emotions, he is happy to be in the final but has only played 1 full match to get here, Rublev has
to be favourite purely by being "match fit"

Medvedev withdrew after losing the 1st set, he told the physio that he couldn't move properly and it was visible in late games of the 1st set.
A weird tournament overall, the best we can hope for in the final is 7th seed Rublev, basically against an unseeded player considering that Lehecka was no. 30.
It seems it will be an 'anybody can win this' Roland Garros. Top seeds injured or out of form, a lot of players between 20-50th spot with really good momentum behind them. One to watch for sure.
Maybe this is another player saving himself for Rome? Felix AA gets another parachute into a semi final against Lehecka, thats good fortune. Its a strange semi final really to have all the other top seeds out and two players nobody would have bet on to reach this far into the tournament.

The Madrid Open is not considered as important as grand slams that's why the top players prefer their health and fitness over winning the game. Andrey Rulev is in great form and is now the top seeded player in the semifinals defeating Alcaraz in quaterfinals. He'll be fighting Taylor Fritz which could be a tense match but I believe he'll come victorious to get another title to his name. On another semifinals, Lehecka would play against Felix Auger-Aliassime, the later one had an walkover without playing while Lehecka got a straight win so he would most probably prevail. You were right! he beat Fritz and continues his great run of form, he deserves his final position TBH and hopefully he has found a winning approach to his play. The same goes for Felix AA if he makes to the final, hopefully he has found a more effective type of style to his play. |
