Bitcoin Forum

Just saw this on BM, thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share;

https://www.betmoose.com/bet/hilary-clinton-to-announce-she-is-gay-july-2014-412

(she's married right???)

Could any of our politicians be in the closet as to avoid public scrutiny?

They could and there is probably quite number of them. Just as there is atheist...

Hillary, might not be the one though...

That that was worth it
Sorry I just burst out laughing when I saw this bet but it would honestly explain a lot of things with Bill at the Whitehouse I can see someone saying yes because we didn't define gay.

they shouldn't be posting those kinds of bets/events. even if she were gay, she would never announce (now of all times) right before her presidential run.

Anyone can host anything at betmoose - up to the bettors to decide what to bet on :P. You're right it's kinda silly but still good for a laugh sometimes, I've seen a lot of funny bets get buried created that I would never bet on but are interesting to consider

I made a random one the other day as well:

https://www.betmoose.com/bet/which-will-happen-first-354

1. Circle.com - offering bitcoin buying/storing/exchange/marketplace services (any of the above, they just need to actually launch something viable).

Last I heard that one was already met since Circle does accept Bitcoin
http://www.coindesk.com/bitfin-day-one-circle-talks-p2p-payments-isle-man-details-bitcoin-plans/

The Circle CEO explained in his opening keynote speech that bitcoin is creating new standards for global consumer finance, but it still has a long way to go to “cross the chasm” and enter the mainstream.

Allaire explained that he’s particularly interested in developments in person-to-person payment services that utilise digital currency, stating:

    “Person-to-person payments present a huge opportunity and I believe that, in five-to-10 years, sending money person-to-person will be as common as text messaging.”

As for Half Life 3
If that ever happens I would say that would be a big bet in and of itself lol.

i've been looking at some sites.. which do you like the best? i know of betmoose and preditious.. the gap between the sell ask and buy ask is too much though. it wouldn't be worth cashing out until the event occurs.

Nah I wrote "commercially available" meaning accessible to the mass market/public. If you check circle.com it definitely doesn't look ready yet - though yes, it's probably the one more likely out of the bunch.

Haha HL3 I made it awhile ago no one seemed to bite:

I really like BetMoose. It's P2P so there's never a 'gap' between buying/selling. You can bet against yourself all day if you wanted to. I also like the social aspect, actually feels like a community - plus the admins are really active and the site gets weekly updates so it's def my top pick. Plus the creativity of some people actually makes me laugh, something I haven't done on any other exchange ever.

Edit: found their topic for ya; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645747.msg7216487#msg7216487 can follow it/request features, I suggested 2FA for login and they're adding it for me in the next update!

anyway back on topic! Which politicians do you think are hiding in the closet?

^ yeah i've been looking at their site for the past 30 mins.. i'm definitely sold on them. predictious doesn't seem to have much volume either.

im looking at the leaderboard and it doesn't seem like many people are betting all that much. the guy with the most winnings is .48 btc so far.

This guy definitely isn' gay, hes wearing cammo for goodness sakes!

You should try creating an account - one of the Settings options I like is the ability to hide yourself from the site (including the leaderboard). Some of the anonymous bettors you see in the bets might be registered users so that may have something to do with it. Other than that, it's still pretty new so a lot of the bigger bets like the silk road one (currently pending) haven't paid out yet. Liquidity will come in time I imagine, I noticed some of the bets that get created with volume placed on both sides attract the most too so some of the hosts are slowly figuring it out and creating new bets with good starting volume. I have like 0.3 BTC total so unfortunately I can't market-make too much :P


Aahahha :D

Hillary Clinton isn't Lesbian, but it is confirmed that she is bisexual. She has killed dozens of people (the most prominent of them being Vince Foster), to keep her past sexual relationships hidden.

Anyway... she can't hide the biggest proof.

http://d1mxyp5ceukbya.cloudfront.net/images/hillary-clinton-most-fascinating-person-barbara-walters-2013.jpg + http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Janet_Reno-us-Portrait.jpg ==> http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WzPal4Z_XVg/UkzANCBBWEI/AAAAAAAAAMs/kNtEwB6M0LQ/s1600/ChelseaClintonBeforeSurgery.jpg

Its common knowledge that Hillary had inclinations toward the prettier sex.  Although those she associates with seem to have been rather ugly.

Of course, we should all just keep quiet about this.

Now if it was a Republican...

Confirmed:

http://armstrongeconomics.com/2014/06/01/can-patterns-target-individuals/

Are you kidding?  Hillary's approval rating would skyrocket if she announced she was gay.  People love gays.

Hillary is not gay.  She's a pragmatist.  She will have sex with or kill whomever she pleases if the action is pragmatic at the time.

Hillary is uniquely qualified to supervise the collapse of the Empire.

Vote Hillary 2016!  Let's get this done!

Potentially true but if the average person is thinking more about their lot in life rather than what's hip in 2016 then Rand Paul will mop the floor w/ Hillary or any other statist they can enthuse people about.

She's isn't who she would have you believe she is. Nor, it seems, was she what she would have had you believe she was. Therefore, it is unlikely that she will be what she would have you believe she would be. She's looking more and more like an American Tony Blair who looked like a British Bill Clinton.

Why would anyone think Hillary was gay?

Yes, very possibly as with any walk of life there are people who are secretly gay and hide it. Is Hilary? I very much doubt it and see no evidence for it. IF she did come out as gay then that would be the end of her presidency potential.

yeah, that's why gay people are not allowed to marry in more states than they are.. and that's why we've had so many gay presidents.

Being a gay female president would be revolutionary, just not if that gay female president was Hillary Clinton. Being a female gay atheist would be even better though  :D, but that would never happen. Hillary has a good shot I think though.

i wouldn't vote for hilary myself, but to think that being a gay candidate would help your chances is just ridiculous.. probably because you're completely bias against hilary. if it were such a positive thing, then more people would come out of the closet.

Possible, you never know :) haha what a topic...

USA is a so backward nation they will not elect gay or atheist for next 20 years or so...

In Finland a gay came second, but clearly lost the last presidential election. He being Green might have had an bigger effect though and fact that opponent was one of the biggest in politics...

america is behind on a lot of things. shouldn't surprise you at all.. we're full of kooks here.

They will let Rand Paul almost win to keep that segment of the population convinced that voting is still valid.

We saw how ecstatic the Trendies became when given a somewhat black president.  Imagine their joy if given a gay, female, atheist Presidential candidate.

I suspect they will flip the Presidency back to a Republican next time.  Republicans need a win to keep them on the hook.  Many are becoming disenchanted and beginning to question the whole process, and leave the party.

For Divide ut Regnes to be work, people have to stay interested in the show.  If their team/protagonist is getting stomped, they lose hope, and then lose interest.  That's bad cattle management.

So electing a gay as the president is a pre-requisite for a nation being declared as forward? What next? Electing a pedophile as the vice-president? I'd better live in a nation where people are elected based on their political positions, and not on the basis of their sexual preferences.

I hate to imagine the realty that gay means saved by Jesus.

I don't believe that technically it states that the "person" running for office has to human.  I think Ekaros would find nirvana when a platypus is elected to run his/her country.

In the race to be different and more "modern" people will give up their sanity.

Bush was a muppet and still managed to do two terms.

If she calculates that it will help her election chances then she will come out as homosexual.  She would come out as a Martain if it would help.  She will do whatever it takes to win.  After all she stuck with her philandering husband in order to remain close / in power.

She has the best shot of anyone right now to win.  I don't think it will effect bitcoin much.

If she comes out as a homosexual, then actually she will lose votes from the centrist voters (including conservative Democrats and Independents). Remember that the extreme-left and the homosexuals already supports her by 99% to 99.9%. She will not gain any more votes from them.

I'm sure you would rather vote for a racist / religious bigot over a homosexual atheist, but I agree with you that you should vote based on merit or the weight of their intentions.

Those are the Trendies who relish the idea of being able to tell their friends how they voted a gay, female into office.

the alternative to voting for hilary is probably some far right republican.. who gays and civil rights voters don't care for. so yeah, it's not going to win her any votes, because at worst the LGBT are choosing hilary as the lesser of evils.

most of you guys here have a hard-on for rand paul, but he's made it clear that he supports "the sanctity of marriage," so even if your guy gets nod from the GOP.. you have it on record that this "libertarian, get your hands off my government" candidate is not going to be a friend to the LGBT community.

Mumble I think that would turn me off from voting if I was an American
Oh yah I voted for Hillary cause shes gay me ... hmm I don't have many choices in this political system do I lol.
