The great fun part of gambling is right before you press "roll" or "spin" and whatnot, you feel that adrenaline rush and that is a great feeling that can make you addicted to it, but it's really fun if you do it casually, if you do it all day it becomes a big problem.

Im not sure if McGregor is stronger than Nate. Sure McGregor is on top shape, the guy looks ripped in clothes, but Nate is taller, im not saying taller means stronger but generally this can be the case in people that exercise. I think we are going to see a close match. Will not decide on my bet until the last day.

In 20 years Bitcoin will be anywhere from around 100,000 dollars to 1,000,000 dollars per coin, which means the mining reward will be enough so it's not a problem. This looks unrealistic to a lot of people which is why few people will become really rich. Most people will sell along the way and less and less people will hold whole BTCs.

Free market has talked and has said that don't want the Classic shit anywhere near Bitcoin. Classic developers are complete amateurs and we can't let morons take control of the most important ship ever. Leave the best developers (Core devs) do the job and stop trying to be smarter than you are.

What worst things? Things are looking great, pessimists need to shut the hell up to be honest. We are making progress and this will translate into the price sooner or later. Don't get too obsessed with looking at the price, that is like looking at the scoreboard instead of paying attention to the playing field.

None of those proposed scenarios annihilate Bitcoin.. they can only try to weaken it, but it will survive and rise again and again. The only way to totally ruin it would be to go on a global internet shutdown which is totally retarded and unrealistic so it's not a real problem.

Bitcoin is looking better than ever, and this is starting to translate in the price again. Core is doing an excellent job, moon is the only place to go, but I guess some people never learn to buy and shut up.

I think I will also go with McGregor this time. If he is not able to win again... he can be in deep trouble, his aura of that almost unbeatable guy can disappear when he gets beaten twice by the same guy. It will feel like all that takes is a taller guy with skill to beat him, but im sure he will find a way to overcome the Diaz's advantage on the reach.

I think it's not fully dead, there are still people playing some matches, or at least that's what I've heard. Of course the player base has gone down. I remember once I saw like 100 people in the chat...

It's unfortunate, the idea is great and i love the pixelated colorful layout of the site. I hope development can be continued soon. Someone should buy this project and continue it or something.

I am indeed being very conservative. But the thing is, we don't even need mass adoption of bitcoin, we only need whales moving their wealth on bitcoin. With a small % of gold and stocks moving in bitcoin ecosystem, price can be $100,000+. I said $10,000 as a conservative figure.

Bitcoin is the most undervalued asset/liability/however you want to call it, on the planet, so it's very difficult to spend your Bitcoins on meaningless stuff, for that, I use fiat. So I use bitcoin like gold, not like a currency.

Block size increase will never give us anything else than a quick pump and dump. It's the clever stuff like segwit hand lighting the stuff that makes the software more solid and trusted.

Indeed, one of the best antidotes against depression is to never miss on Bitcoin ever again, so you have to buy and stop looking back, look at the future and be thankful that you even know Bitcoin exists.

The next big event will be the deployment of segregated witness into the network. Once this happens, stuff like sidechain and Lightning Network will be closer than ever, so all we need is to keep supporting Core devs and we will get there.

Anyone can join games? It's not working for me. When I open the webpage, nothing works. I see the chat is loading, and I see the servers are loading. In the center it says "Loading games .." and nothing happens. So I think that the servers are all off. Not even what's hosting the chat is online anymore. Is this game dead? I hope not since it was the best bitcoin game I have ever seen.

I think Maidsafe had an ICO too and the price went up a lot. Of course it has not reached full potential yet, and it has crashed a bit, but I think people that hold Maidsafe for longer will get better results.

After the Ethereum and Maidsafe ICO's I have not seen any better ICOs worth risking BTC over.

The chances of $1000 this year are increasing exponentially every day that Bitcoin wakes up above 500 dollars, and it seems we are still going. Look at at the all time graph, we have only gone up since january 2015.. it seems people forget about this.

And yes, we will reach $1000 and way more, it's impossible that we don't. Bitcoin is tiny, it's only the beginning.

I remember in the early days, a lot of people said that 1 dollar per Bitcoin was simply insane, than it would never happen, then we hit more than 1000. So what's clear is, people always fail when trying to predict the bitcoin price, they are always not aiming higher enough because they see it as impossible.

It's impossible to know and whoever is claiming to be sure is lying, but you can look at the fundamentals and try to guess where the price will be at at a gross estimate of 1 to 2 months, and the uptrend is still clear since early January of last year. Other than that.. you can't know about the price movements daily, unless you are a super whale about to buy or sell a lot of it, enough to modify the market price.

The only way that Bitcoin can compete against payment transfer giants such as VISA and whatnot, is by the 2 layer solutions such as the Lightning Network, because on chain transactions will never be useful for fast cheap and big volume action, this will always require stuff like Lightning. SO once we have Lightning a lot of this will be fixed.
