Looks to me that Malta wants to be a blockchain technology hub, and bitcoin adoption similar to what Japan did. They are seeing blockchain/bitcoin as a revolutionary technology and harness its potential. A lot of countries are really jumping into the bandwagon and does not want to be left out. I like the attitude of the Malta government, although they understand they need to put regulations on it, still they are willing to initiate and become a key player in the technology revolution. Hope their strategy succeed because this is another big step for being bitcoin mass adopted globally.

Obviously, in investing, diversification is a good practice. "Don't put your eggs in one basket" as they say.

As for the trading, I also think that we must all monitor the current price of bitcoin specially alt-coins because there are a lot of entities that manipulate the price behind and we don't know when are they going to dump it. And if you are a newbie, once you saw all the FUD around this forum, you will panic and sell your alt-coins. So I must say to the newbie that monitor the market and used your judgement to whether to sell or not.

I thought the exact whereabouts of the terrorist leader is still unknown and remains a mystery? Am I the only one not updated about it? LOL. It is said though that the Russian have arrested him, but they denied it. But I personally believed he is still alive and leading and still ordering the attacks along with his top lieutenants. And maybe still receiving private financing underground so that they can continue the war with US and other Western countries.

Bride buying is an industry. So I think its possible with bitcoin as well. It has been practiced in other countries like China, India, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. Its has been part of their culture and tradition. So it they are accepting fiat, they might as well accept bitcoin as mode of payment. Its odd and weird, but money is money. The question is do you what if you don't like the wife you buy? You just gonna throw it all away? Lol.

For me since their is a exponential growth of smartphones industry, I say go for mobile application. Like in our country, an average of 2 smartphone per user. And globally around 70% have smartphones. Lets be honest, most of us can't count the times sitting waiting for our computers to boot. So having our mobile apps takes out  the "wait". So you have advantage like speed, information collection and of course advertising. But you can also developed a friendly mobile website as well so you can hit two birds with one stone here.

First we have to understand that the price of bitcoin is dictated by supply and demand. As more and more investor/people are demanding to have bitcoin, the price of it increases because of low supply. And in 3 years time, halving with happen again so the demand will be higher because of scarcity and it will be limited. So its really hard for bitcoin to have a stable price because of those factors. Actually the price of bitcoin should be increasing in the next couple of years. So better hold on to your bitcoin

Haters gonna hate. But the good thing is, bitcoin has already proven time and again that it can rise from all this scenario and recover and comeback even stronger. Like what happened post-ETF, price went down after it was rejected and the market price went to three digits. Then all over the forum saying that it is dead etc, etc. That's last month only, but look at the current price now, it has recovered that we are touching the $1400 price now. So I hope people will not panic if they see the price going down because bitcoin has already proven from the past that it can recover from any roadblocks it will face in the future.

Sad you see you losing such big amount gambling. You feel cheated, but nobody cheated you. Luck is not your side and only shows that no amount of strategy will work specially in long term. I've been there, not in online dice game though, but in land based casino, so I know that feeling. I hope that it will not happen to you again, consider it as lessons for you. Just don't blame yourself too much. Get over it, go out, spend time with your families so you can feel better and not stressed out.

And don't try to think that someone will hack or find a bug and get their bitcoin. It won't happened. House always win.

The future of bitcoin gambling does not correlates to bitcoin being mass adopted. Online dice casino business is already booming since accepting bitcoin as form of deposit and withdrawal. So even if not mass adopted it will still be fine. I don't know about olds gamblers learning on-line gambling contributing as well, "you can't teach a old dog with new tricks".

On-line gambling are really a booming industry its already a worldwide phenomena. And with smartphone users already increasing in numbers, it is where the most significant growth will come. I've seen poker being played online now, so poker on a smartphone will keep becoming more and more popular. And that is only one game that people love to play.

It was a rushed article. The author is in need to complete the deadline to write the article. The result is a rubbish article with no foundation. And then contradicts himself at the end. Maybe he is just creating fear amongst to pressure us(newbies) for a sell-off. And the bitcoin major signals #2 has also no basis. Bitcoin has rallied and its  almost touching $1400 now so this article is really dumbfounded for me. He should research more before writing another article.

Forget about the embargo, North Korean's Central Governing Body doesn't care if people will suffer. And besides. North Korea has called on the nation to secure self-sufficiency now in food as the international community moves to impose stiffer sanctions on the them for its nuclear provocations

And just like I said, War will not happened. The US is highly unlikely to launch an attack on North Korea because the move could possibly escalate tensions all the way to nuclear war. And the US don't want that to happened.

Gambling site is very much profitable as compare to dating site, we all know that. But if I may add to the question of OP, which do you think is much easier to get referrals? For me, getting a gambling to be your referral is much harder than getting someone to sign under you in dating site. And some dating some pay huge amount being an affiliate. I already got referrals for a dating site, but have 0 referrals for gambling.

This is a big move by the Cambodian Government to adopt Blockchain Technology in its backyard. Although the country is considered as 3rd world, applying Blockchain will boost its financial industry and transaction. Though they are still skeptical about acceptance of bitcoin as a main stream digital currency. One thing that bother me though is how much cost developing and maintaining blockchain network? It is worth for a third world country like Cambodia to invest in such technology?

Looks like bitcoin is ready to have a new ATH this year. Its almost $1400 and I think it will continue to rise. Almost all of alt-coin is green as well, so it looks like a good week for cryto-currency. I hope that trend will continue and we all love that, there will be a few dumps I believe because investors are selling to get profit. Alt-coins though are different, there are just there for pump and dump practice by some professional traders to gain money.

I was exposed to gambling at a young age. My father was a avid gambler/sport bettor. I remember playing street kind of baccarat like 12 years old or less and I'm against an adult. They taught they could out hassle me and I even saw them cheating. HaHaHa. But they area all wrong baby!!!. I won a good amount of money, then someone whispers to me that my mom is looking for me so its game over for them. My father really was a big influence and the environment during that time was ripe for street  gambling.

I don't agree with the idea of using it specially for bitcoin payment purpose. We can have our smart phones with us all the time, so if ever we want to buy something in malls or other places that accepts bitcoin, we can just use the QR code scanner and its done!!!

Microchip implant is a new technological breakthrough that's changing the way information and identification is stored and shared. Microchip implant has its purpose, but not in bitcoin technology.

They have found a safe haven in investing in bitcoin and other crypto's. Those guys really know how to make money and putting some in crypto-currency is just another portfolio's for them. Indeed, it is wise to diversify your investments across different portfolio's, as you should not put all your eggs in one basket. I'm sure he is not the only one that have big investments in bitcoin, but there are still who haven't go out in the open yet.

I also believe that their are big entities or whales behind forex that are moving toward the bitcoin trading scene. Bitcoin trading provides them a new arena to play with and to earn huge amount of money by manipulating the prices like what happen to alt-coins (pump and dump). Even though this practice is fraudulent, we cannot stop someone from doing it specially the whales. So we need to keep a careful eye on the market trends so that we are not left behind if there is a dump.

Another triple double for Russell Westbrook. OKC survived another big fourth quarter run by Houston to snatch a win. But I think Houston will win the series.

Even though the Clippers won and takes a 2-1 lead in the series, Blake Griffin health is in question. He suffered a bruised toe and unlikely to play in the next game. So this is a key to this series. Need other players to step up and help Chris Paul in offense to offset Griffin's absence in next game.

Nice speculation but bitcoin will not go down to $950.

Its barely touching $1300 now but I doubt it will get to $2000 this year. I think most likely $1500 at the end of the year if the trends continue.

But here my thing on the $2000 price. To reach this, I think that USA should introduce a economic policies that could lead to inflation. And we know that if there's an inflation, the interest rate rise. Then it will create an effect where people will look for alternatives that is not to tied any Central Bank. This is what happened to China. With the devaluation of Yuan, Chinese went to bitcoin as an alternative. This is just my speculation.
