Alcaraz seems to have a difficult match in Brazil against a Chilean tennis player. He was 5-3 down and his opponent was allowed to serve for a set win, but he couldn't and now it's 5-4. Due to time difference, many people will not or will not be able to follow this match. Nice to see that ALcaraz is active again, he has now dropped to 2nd place on the ATP ranking list, he has been overtaken by Djokovic. But he has also earned it through his recent tournament victories. It seems that the clay court season has started again in certain countries? There are countries where they only play on clay, of course.
I wonder for the final between Alcaraz v Norrie is a bet on Norrie on? the odds on Rollbit are Alcaraz 1.2 v Norrie 4.5, I dont think there is as much between them as the odds suggest.
Well done to Medvedev on his second season win, well done to Murray too, I didnt think he would have made it to the final. This will spur him on in his thinking he can win a tournament again. |

Well TBH I normally play the favourites even with my Tennis bets, doesnt always payout
though, and at times the dead certs fail.
Well done Timelord, that was some spread from Super Rugby, US Rugby and Six Nations.
In the Six Nations Italy ran Ireland close for a bit in the second half but we were able
to pull away in the last Q. We got the bonus point from the game too.
Regarding Wales v England, very frustration game from a vested interest in our Celtic
cousins. England were there to be beaten, Wales had so many chances to score but
as per the other 2 games their visits to the English 22 yielded very little.
The box kicking and kicking in general from Wales wasnt working and England won
on that front, anyway another tough day at the office for Wales

you have to know that 13 years ago Bitcoin was new, it was a concept, viewed as an
experiment, Thousands and thousands of Bitcoin were given away FREE in airdrops
to help promote it so I wouldnt read anything into the sale of 160 Bitcoin. It was what it was
and at a different time.
People are still selling Bitcoin today, will we look back in 13 years from now when Bitcoin
is $1,000,000 and question the actions of today?

Well I have a bet on Wales to win today, a small 0.1mBTC @3.5. I dont think welsh that you
are mad, as previously mentioned Wales do have serious talent and experienced players, I
am figuring they are going to make a statement today after all what happened this week.
Just watching Italy v Ireland and everything is on track for an Irish win early into the second half
eventhough Italy are looking dangerous at times.

As a person from mainland China, it is not easy to come to this forum smoothly and safely, and I won't discuss political issues. My friends around me know about Bitcoin, but many of them do not fully understand and hold Bitcoin, which is regrettable. I try to inform all of my good friends to hold Bitcoin, but it's only a suggestion.
Bitcoin is not every ones cup of coffee and that is perfectly alright. As you have done, you can only suggest to your friends to hold some bitcoin or learn more about it, but the final decision is theirs to make. You can visit the 中文 (Chinese) local board and discuss with like minded people from your region.
You seem to already have the general idea of how the whole things works and experience dealing with cryptocurrencies. This would make your stay on the forum more meaningful and I look forward to learning more from you and possibly also acquiring 1 whole BTC sometime in the future. As for my purpose of holding Bitcoin, I do not expect it to skyrocket to a certain price in my mind. I just like it.
Just like when you like a girl or a boy, there is no reason, you just like them.
There technically have to be a reason to throw in $26,000 on an asset besides just liking it... Are you attracted to the freedom it offers or transacting without regulations, or some other feature? - Jay - Yes hopefully the OP knows of the benefits of HODLing and using Bitcoin, for example: Store or wealth Storing large amounts of wealth relatively inconspicuously Control of funds 24/7/365 Security of funds when secured and stored correctlySecurity of the Bitcoin network Global transportability of large amounts of funds over all borders all the above at the same time Well done to the OP buying 1 Bitcoin is not easy or achievable by the majority of people. Very good move by the OP. |

Well, the players seem to have got what they wanted out of the contract negotiations. They were threatening to forfeit the English game this weekend. So, Wales vs England is still going ahead. We've reduced the cap requirement to be called up, allowing players with less caps in their clubs to play for the national team. Something that WRU put in place, which unfortunately only hurts the Welsh team, since we're a rather small nation to begin with. Honestly, if I had my way I'd scrap it altogether, and just allow the manager to call up who he thinks his deserving. It'll likely be more experienced lads anyway, but at least it gives some of the youngsters a chance, and we might have some hidden talent which could help us out. You know, when Wales is only around 3 million in population wise, we need all the help we can get to compete in the competitions. Especially, when London alone has more population than our who country. Anyway, I expect us to lose, but hopefully we get to see some of that hidden talent  . We definitely do have some youngsters that were deserving to be called up. Hopefully, that happens now. Fair play to them anyway, they were definitely being pinched by politics and falling salaries, not good. I thought that 60 cap rule was also to do with a player playing outside Wales? In Ireland we have such a rule, even more restrictive, if a player wants to play for a club outside Ireland he is welcome to do so but he wont be considered for the national team unless you are Johnny SextonBest example was Simon Szebo of Munster and Ireland, went to play for Racing 92 in France which ended his career for the National team, he was a brilliant winger/full back. The trouble also with a small population is the pool of players to pick from and Rugby competes with other sports as it does here in Ireland, the biggest codes are Gaelic Football and Hurling, then Soccer and Rugby after them. If the clubs and national team do well the chances are kids at the grassroots level will be more interested and inspired to choose Rugby. Putting restrictions on the senior teams only damages the game in the long term. I've only just been able to place bets on the New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific games for round one.
To win, I'm going with: Crusaders over the Chiefs, Waratahs against the Brumbies, Fijian Drua to edge out Moana Pasifika, the Blues over the Highlanders in a close match, the Hurricanes will blow over the Reds, while the Western Force will outclass the Rebel Scum.
Its certainly a busy time for Rugby, we are half way through our competitions here and you lot are starting your seasons there. Too much to keep up with! |

Hard to know what to make of that. It can't be called Welsh if they're not based in Wales.
Eventhough there are always anomalies and compromises A welsh club amalgamating with an English one would be "insulting" as Welsh put it. Anyway the six nations game is a runner for the weekend after a deal was struck and a compromise made. Its just a pity that it had to come to this and the WRU were not willing to do a compromise before hand. After crunch talks at Wales’s training base between the WRU, the PRB and dozens of players,
confirmation came that the match would be on. The cap rule has not been entirely
scrapped but the threshold has been reduced to 25, players will be offered both
fixed and fixed variable contracts and the WRPA chief executive, Gareth Lewis,
will have a seat on the PRB https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/feb/22/wales-v-england-six-nations-clash-to-go-ahead-as-players-call-off-strike

I've heard a couple of players have injuries whilst training ahead of next weeks opening round of the NRL. The Sea Eagles might be on shaky ground already.
Ouch, they play the Bulldogs who were neck and neck with each other last year. Storm Storm have been hit hard with two players out, one for the full season! https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/01/01/casualty-ward-all-the-latest-nrl-injury-news-updates-returns-details/I see we are treated to a replay of last years Grand Final, first game of Round 1 Eels v Panthers! |

Murray beating Zverev is either a very good performance by Murray or a very bad performance by Zverev. I didn't watch the game, but with all issues Murray now had down the road and also his age, how can Zverev lose against him when he otherwise is trying to become a number 1 in the world? After 8 months of not being able to play in the 2022 French Open due to his injury, it is completely understandable that he still needs time to be back to his old level. -------------- Agree, Zverev is not fully back to his pre-injury form, that said Murray as one of the commentators pointed out while I was watching has "court craft" his experience is key, he is able to call on his skill to make different shots and opportune times and knows when to use them especially when under pressure. This will only go so far because another tool which players must have is "fitness", thats mobility, flexability and stamina which Murray's is compromised. Christopher to face Medvedev in the next match. Will he able to play same as what he did with Bautista.
I don't think Medvedev will lose against O'Connell it will just be an easy match for Medvedev, O'Connell will probably put up a tough fight later but Medvedev will handle it, and it will be very interesting to see Murray take on Medvedev in the final but before it happened Murray needed to beat Rublev who is the favorite to win here. Bautista lost against O'Connell. Which was obviously very unexpected. But anyway, the next match is going to be O'Connell vs Medvedev. Medvedev should not lose this match. At this point, it is really hard to actually say anything. Because the last match of O'Connell was also expected to be a loss for him. But he was able to win. I don't think any surprises are going to happen in this match. But there is always a chance for that as well. Murray vs Rublev is actually going to be much more interesting. Rublev is the one for me to win this match. Of course, there is no 100% chance that he's going to win. I assume that this match is going to be much more competitive compared to the Medvedev one. Murray v Rublev - im not betting on this one, Rublev can be very unpredictable, but can be really good. It will be interesting but really I dont expect Murray to progress. |

See I seperate Bitcoin from "Crypto", like pooya87 i agree 100% about "Crypto being an ineffective
store of wealth" because to me and many others Crypto is just $hitcoins.
Currently with how Bitcoin is valued its still "too small" for a lot of the mega wealthy to
be interested. When it starts to get into the same realm as the likes of Microsoft in terms
of value then its will be interesting to them.
Its true that Microsoft has had a relatively smooth road to travel in 45 years whereas
Bitcoin has been attacked year on year.....and is still here and getting stronger year on year.

Doha is where the action continues, most of the big names are there, Medvedev,
Zverev, Murray, Griekspoor, Felix AA.
I'm not sure Murray is going to get past Zverev, it will be a battle royale I think.
I also assume that. It will be a close match. I think Murray will try to play long rallies. Then it will be more difficult for Zverev. His physical fitness is not perfect yet and neither is his confidence in himself. With long rallies, Murray can provoke more mistakes from Zverev. Bautista had played against Fucsovics yesterday. Bautista won but had difficulties and needed 3 sets. Well, he got the job done, won the first set tie break, got beaten in the second set 6-2 and broke Zverev in the third to win that 5-7. I only caught the last set, IDK I get really frustrated by watching Murray, he can be so negative and lets his emotions out winning or losing, I know thats the way he manages but I find it so frustrating/annoying. Anyway he is through to the last 8, and there is still some serious players to potentially get past, Rublev, Felix AA, Medvedev and Davidovich Fokina, all seeded players. |

While its obvious that its preferable to stay away from potentially reversible trades and
that CASH IS KING, that means you have to trade with someone local I assume? Usually yes, although Bisq also has options for cash via mail or cash deposits at someone else's bank. Oh - I would never have considered such options before TBH. This weekend I plan to formally setup an account on bisq and research a bit on who is in my area or even within a few hours of driving distance. @o_e_l_e_o because of your standing on the forum and the fact that you have had such positive trades on bisq, can I ask what types of trades you have done? i.e Cash via mail, cash deposits, personal exchanges or even bank transfers etc. TBH sitting here in the comfort of my home I think I would be a bit reluctant to do a face-to-face exchange. |

Ahead of the Six Nations this weekend it seems like the game between Wales and England is under threat. There is still a bit of hassle with the signing of financial contracts for the 4 Welsh clubs. Wales have postponed announcement of their team today. Reading through this article > https://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12321/12815751/wales-six-nations-squad-announcement-delayed-due-to-uncertainty-of-player-involvementIt seems clear what the main concern is of the players "The players want three terms to be agreed by the WRU and this surrounds uncertainty
over future contracts.
"Those three terms are this. The 60-cap rule is scrapped. That is the rule where only
players with 60 caps or more can play their domestic rugby outside of Wales and
still play for Wales.
"That is set to be scrapped or amended so that will be met.
"The second term is the players have representation on the Professional Rugby Board.
"That at the moment doesn't happen. That is also set to happen.
"The third term is the sticking point, it is around contracts and the new contracts are set to be
brought in at the end of this season. |

On the 22nd of February, he is going to play in Qatar Open. It is still not decided who he is going to face.
He will play against Liam Broady. Have not heard anything from him yet. I do not think the game will last long. After that he will probably meet Bautista. More interesting are the matches between Rublev against Griekspoor and Zverev against Murray. All matches will take place on 22nd of February. Doha is where the action continues, most of the big names are there, Medvedev, Zverev, Murray, Griekspoor, Felix AA. I'm not sure Murray is going to get past Zverev, it will be a battle royale I think. Medvedev v Broady....can Medvedev carry his top form into this competition?
Over in Rio where Alcaraz is playing, Musetti seeded 3rd has been beaten by Jarry? 4-6, 1-6 - thats an big upset. |

Interesting thread.
I have very recently become interested in bisq and its nice to get o_e_l_e_o's recommendation
for AgoraDesk and HodlHodl also.
While its obvious that its preferable to stay away from potentially reversible trades and
that CASH IS KING, that means you have to trade with someone local I assume?

This is my new account, I've locked the other discussion. I cannot provide solid proof I'm a 16-year-old or that I even own the bitcoin in the first place. I'll repeat what I said in the other discussion. 2/3 of my bitcoin are held in the stockpile.com app and the other third is with my dad. I'll talk to him about moving it all into one wallet but as of right now, it's not in one place. Not sure how I'll post proof of me being 16 in a safe way since one of the people in the last thread said it's dangerous to post any videos of myself after I posted them (that's why I deleted the video). Is there any safe way to prove that I'm 16?  Also is there a reason why it's not safe to post vids of myself? This is your first thread so I don't know what you are saying about locking of other discussion. Is it that, this account is your altaccount? If yes what is the name of the other discussion thread (account). And also nobody is interested in your age. If we know your age what are we going to do with it? Op anyone can own any amount of bitcoin so for as a 16 yrs of age owning a bitcoin has nothing to do with the forum members. I don't know how f any one is interested of that. I will advise you of giving real information instead of beating around the bush. Ok, thank you. I was just scared that I was gonna get banned cuz people said I was faking it and stuff This forum can be a tough place at times when you are a newbie account, even when you are 16 or 60. Too many accounts have turned out to be scammers or only interested in ranking up. Welcome to the forum, as mentioned by many others, age in not important, neither is location or race, we all most of us have the same thing in common: Bitcoin. Its great that you made the move into Bitcoin, your timing is good. Tips: Take full control of your Bitcoin with your own wallet with your private keys. Dont panic if Bitcoins price suddenly flashes down to $18k because LONG TERM its going in the other direction ↑ |

TBH if I had been paying more attention to the games I would have gone with last years
ladder toppers and this is what I suspect I'll do when the premiership starts... although
remember the start of last season, the Eels and Rabbitohs in particular had a mixed bag,
Rabbitohs lost 4 from the first 7 games, Eels the same I think but they came good and
reached the final.
Its a tough one to call!
