Oh no, I missed the Uruguay win! I thought they were all playing at the same time today, I shhouldn't have listened to my friend. I just got home, turned on the TV and I am watching highlights. A few yellow cards, a very narrow victory, and a almost last minute goal from Giminez. What happened? Why didn't Salah play, wasn't he recovered isn't he on the bench?

Yes, I know of that quite well and have even seen it on TV myself. But these are very rare, and televised events, where even sometimes these gamblers are playing with funds from sponsors or from backers.

Plus, I have seen $100k or more bets but these are all on one hand or on Poker which is even over hours of play. The biggest tournaments are millions worth, but hours of play with lots of people.

We're talking about 58k in microseconds. As user points out above, 12 seconds multiple 4BTC and 8BTC bets.

So we can literally see millions of dollars in crypto casinos bet in seconds. Never in real life.

Well, we have already now witnessed Marshall Islands as the first to do away with fiat and adopt crypto although of course creating its own nationally backed crypto is really no different from fiat, except now it can more closely monitor and control its money flow. I suppose it will only be a matter of time before a small government somwhere starts supporting Bitcoin and throws away any fiat association. We never saw Bitcoin's rise coming, surely there are plenty of surprises left.

You shouldn't have posted the links. Newbies would probably be clicking on that and then it might be stored on their browser history, and they might accidentally return to it later.

Just don't participate in airdrops that land in your email. If you REALLY want them, seek them out and then access from official websites. Email links are a big no-no, whatever the reason.

It's a silly claim, even if it may not be very far from the truth. But yeah, if they should ever try to assert their influence and control, the lessons from last year's forks should show them just how much success they will have, which is very little. Meanwhile no one needs to claim that Ripple controls over 50% of Ripple. If not more. This is pot calling the kettle black.

What's strange to me is that even with the investigations going on on all those three/four exchanges, what the hell does it matter to the rest of us anyway? I don't use any of those exchanges, and I bet very few people on this forum do as well. I bet even John McAfee himself doesn't trade on those. So this is yet another proof of "they don't care, they just pick up on the news and follow the trend".

Keep on coming FUD. Cheap coins.

FreeWallet has been a suspected exit scam for a very long time, sorry to hear about your loss OP but you should really have looked up this issue before you try any wallet service. To be fair, they did explain this move last year (the big movement to a single wallet) but as you can see from Google and this forum, a lot of other issues have happened. Just use a proper wallet that lets you and only you control your private key. Google wallets before you start using them.

Trust me, it isn't just newbies who make this mistake. Even the so-called veterans of the industry are still prone to panic and ill discipline. Anyone who entered the market in 2016 thought they were patient and rewarded in late 2017, but if they held on to Feb or March it would have been tempting to buy up even more. A lot of people bought with 100% of their portfolio into alts and didn't put stop losses. Must be crying right now. And they're not newbies.

If they were smarter, they would simply just allow mining apps but only those that openly say they will use the phone to mine. People would burn up their precious iPhones and then buy newer ones in a shorter time. More sales for them. Now they will just encourage people to try to use them anyway or move away and find actual devices able to mine quicker. I wonder if these affect staking wallets too or are they just thinking of Bitcoin PoW?

Just visited the page and read about the May Crowdholder of the month and Got to say, this is probably the best non-expert crowdfund shill and don't blame me, he used shill himself! Got to admit never heard of it til it caught my eye just now so will spend a few minutes later on to look in. I'm still very undecided on crowd knowledge. Theory works but practice seems pretty crap, taking into account the shills who only want to be making money so will say anything that sounds good.

Good luck anyway.

Not much you can do really. Poloniex is very much like any of the old major exchange platforms with a really bad reputation for customer support. I never got contacted by them when I needed support although eventually my issues were resolved with long delays.

If you've reached out to them via Twitter, just be patient, otherwise I would also work on fully verifying your account. I heard verified accounts are prioritized by Poloniex.

I have always liked Litecoin from my first impressions of it. Almost every alt I came across claimed to improve on Bitcoin, but Litecoin was really the one that marketed itself exactly as a quicker and cheaper alternative to Bitcoin (hence altcoin and Lite coin) and never pretended to be anything other than a "lite" payment currency. It's really come a long way, plus the very friendly terms the dev has with Bitcoin, and continued relevance. Price doesn't worry me at all.

Thought this was the project I knew about several months back but turns out upon googling that there are now about 4/5 similar projects in healthcare/AI/DNA/genome. Is there something about these ICOs that projects with the same ideas all launch in the same span of months within each other?

And incredible 2 million given to bounty hunters. You bet they dumped. Just incredible how this just keeps happening. Is it cheaper to buy now then it was when investing at max bonus?

This just crossed my mind today, reading about the "huge overnight flash crash" that Bitcoin and crypto markets just experienced. Back in December/January when CME and others were all the headlines for offering futures, they said the crash was coming. It came, and futures like CME traders were largely blamed because of all the short volume.

But today, a 90th ranked South Korean exchange I'd never heard of is blamed because millions were stolen/hacked.

Just tells me that the headlines go for whatever is most convenient.

Because this was expected. Bitcoin is characterized by itx extreme volatility, and it is the same today as it was years ago. It fell to $300 from $1200 before, so practically speaking it could fall even to $5000 from $20000 but this is temporary, even if temporary can mean months. Even could mean years. So yes, 10k again is possible, so is $20k, just that it is a matter of time. If you can't wait for that long, then Bitcoin and crypto is not for you.

Correct! There is very very little people who make proper comparisons and true research. They just pull up some charts, change the data ranges, change the timeframes and everything is conveniently laid out.

Take a look at this dump last night, for example. It looks big, but the volume was $4 billion. That's not even 25% of the daily volumes we saw in January. So all this context is lost. We only see RED RED RED. Does it mean much? Not to me.

Just follow the helpful advice of above posts. Make sure you give all the details briefly but in full. The type of ERC20 address it was meant to support, the full details of your transaction and a screenshot of your account showing that deposit address. It will probably take a long time, but you should get your ETH back, or at least credited to the ETH account balance on IDAX.

I know you know, but be careful not to do this again. It's the most common ETH mistake people do and so much problems can be avoided simply by being a little more careful.

It's very near World Cup now... Since you guys are collaborating with 120+ casinos, want to share with us which of these are having new promotions? Also what I find very useful is a list of updated promotions that is currently ongoing with any casinos. Not just the ongoing first deposit promos you can find almost every day but the ones that only last for limited periods (like World Cup). Fiat bookies usually have like very special odds for first time players or returning players. Things like that.

Why don't you just look up KYC online so you understand it? Then you might also understand that not every program, casino or ICO out there has the right to ask you for KYC. In summary, if the entity you're dealing with is regulated, or is registered and recognized as a business entity, then OK, they probably need to comply with KYC/AML, and they would naturally want users to be verified.

They want to know their customers. Simple right?

But if you're dealing with a project that's NOT registered, a casino that's NOT regulated, an exchange that's anonymous. Then don't ever give them KYC. Quit them, find someone else. You bet all the things you're worried about they could do with your data, they will do.

Phew, don't know whether I should feel excited or scared when I see those bets. Even just seeing screenshots is making me feel nauseautic (OK I don't know how to spell) a little. I guess some whales made their Bitcoins a long time ago so they don't feel the pain of losing 8 BTC in a split second. Where else other than with crypto can we see people splash that kind of money around yeah?

Oh and where else can anyone actually win 8 BTC in a single bet? Most casinos right now don't have a max win of more than a few BTC.
