btc price will rise this year but not to the level that will make many here rich and highly unlikley not to 5k in the coming years. You need to have more in mind than having small earnings from signature campaign. If you're lazy about it then you have no hope and that is not funny but sad times. Op lets wait and see if the guy in chat has the right idea,100btc at 5k would be enough in a 3rd world so good luck to him.

Ouch 10btc in 3 months  Gambling is as easy as you make it to stop.i have gambled on and off for over ten years not once have i had problems with stopping. if you believed martingale was good then no wonder you dont want to talk about how you was wrong. There is no free method in gambling nor winning strategy for 99% of people the sooner people realize that the sooner they would be able to easily walk away from gambling.

If i had 10k btc to lose at once that would mean i had probably 100k safe, so losing 10k btc would be a pain in the ass but not the end of the world. i would feel the same as if i lose a few btc from my holdings now. Not great but would move on ok enough.You should probably go back to school for math. its 10x that 

i would not normally post here but i have to ask when has there ever been a legit ponzi? Please pm me it as it is obviously still going after years. They rep them because they are not silly enough to believe you can get an indefinite legit ponzi they all collapse and scam in the end. Joke or no joke that thread was not the best thing to create in the first place, you probably should have been warned to close the thread buy what is done is done. Maybe if you're good in will be changed to neutral 

There was people thinking Btc would never reach $1,$5, $10 then $50, $100, $200 $500, $1000. My point obviously surprises can and will happen. Personally i dont think it will reach 100k because my financial luck has never been great so i cant see a simple investment of a few k turning me in to a millionaire.If it does reach it like a few others have said times would be very bad for the economy and the $ would be pretty much worthless. im happy where it is now to be honest.

Btc is more simple compared to gold? I have never heard that one before, it must have just been me having to study what Btc was for weeks when i first started. Gold was an easy process of handing over paper and receiving my coins, bracelet and missus ring. The gambler in me would choose Btc because of the ease in which i could hide my savings. Try save thousands in gold and maybe travel if needed. It is hard to be your own bank holding gold but Btc on the other hand? Easy easy once you know what you are doing.

Its asked to recommend decent pokersites to play against people not against the house as most casinos offer poker against the house, do you have pvp texas holdem? He is not asking for blackjack  . I can only recommend where i have played and had good experiences. SWC and Betcoin.ag they both have a reasonable amount of players at their sites, nowhere near fiat sites but in future i am sure Btc poker will catch on due to the ease and anonymity it provides its customers.

Hopefully SWC will bring one out this year, not sure about BC.ag. luckyflop is playable from phone without download but it lacks players.

If you believe there is going to be a bit of chaos in the next few months it will be a good time to sell some of your stash to short the market,risky but will more than likely pay off as there is bound to be a shake before the great halving pump that everyone is expecting. Btc is not going to be the future of all currencies but hopefully it will live a longside the currencies of the future.To answer op i will only sell in the attempt to earn more, sooner or later your scenario will happen and it will not be worth selling Btc for worthless inflated fiat.

Where would you get that nobody brought in around the $1k price? Not all the volume was fake and many would have brought in for 1k and more. Not sure why anyone would be proud of themselves for buying in at the price.

It will be a good game to watch. I prefer West Ham but this game is one of the hardest to predict so you are not the only one that is confused by it. I am that confused my bet has had to be either away or home, odds of just 1.4 but i feel more confident maybe winning a little than predicting a single team this time around. If i was to bet with someone elses money id go with West Ham due to their home performances.

The only advice i can add to this is that you should only buy what you can afford to lose and not listen to anyone who says it is the greatest time to buy because the halving is coming etc. My personal ways of doing it is to buy small whenever i get spare money that i cant do much else with. It all adds up and the price begins to matter less as it is spare money that has been invested.

I think the biggest use for it is gambling and trading but the fact is we need to accept that btc is here to stay and what gave it its foot hold was the darknet. Good or bad it has helped it get where it is today. I am only here because of a documentary that was basically saying how bad it was because people was buying illegal things with it. So what? The world is not a hunky dory place and the little impact btc has on illegal is almost funny. Its tiny in the schemes of things isnt it?

Yes it is a nice thought through thread and very welcomed. It certainly is possible to earn long term by gambling but if your playing the casino house you are very unlikely to but this helps minimizing losses for your entertainment. If proper bankroll management is used with sports and poker then with knowledge and skill you can do ok.

Money is an advantage but more times than not you will lose money so you wont be able to buy things, or at least to the value that you could before gambling. It is not wrong to use gambling as a means to gaining some cash, that is what gambling is. It is wrong when you have that as your only means to try and gain monies. Unless you are a strong minded person who is improving self discipline and bankroll management, I cant see any advantages from gambling and scanning through the thread has not changed my mind.

I dont typically like either team this season but i agree it will be a good game. It isnt an easy one to predict that is for sure, i have gone with United this game. To me they are very closely matched but United have very good odds so i will back them this game.

That is the thing i know online wallets can be unsafe but i have had a small amount in blockchain.info since i started here. I say small but we are talking a couple of btc. If you have just a small amount then as you say they are safe enough. When you get to 5 and above btc that is when send to cold storage just to be sure. If you have good security and dont surf and download from dodgy sites all will be ok. I only leave on exchanges what i could lose, they could run at anytime

For the price i will have a spare account around the same rank.  0.1075 as you said escrow will be used if i win

You cannot take away a big part of the market valuation and expect it not to crash at least for a short term, there would be no chance of an increase until China was fearful that they was next and put all there money in btc. The most likely event would be the real gold would rocket with the smart money being invested. Lets hope the dollar stays around for awhile longer which ihave no doubt it will.

That was disastrous for my parlay bet. The only team that let me down was the one i was most sure about. Never mind.
