any prediction for all stars match ?
Well it's really hard to bet in terms of Moneyline in East vs West games as this is for entertainment purposes. Poor defense and more on offense in the starting quarters then the serious play will just shown in the last quarter. In the 3 point contest I picked Klay Thompson @ 3.7. For now that is the only available bet in Directbet. Good call, usually the favorites can't seem to shoot that great at the 3pt contest. However with Curry, the sky is the limit hehe. |

Hi,
Where can I play daily fantasy NBA with Bitcoin?
I had this idea forever but it's too hard to develop, I don't think there are many reliable sites that you can trust your money with I'm afraid. DraftKings and FanDuel would never accept Bitcoin so hopefully someone can take this idea and develop it. |

Lol congratulations man, I think we can all honestly said you were 100% right! It may go to 1000 satoshis this time...even more. The pump is strong on this one and it actually deserves it!

What in the name are you all babbling about? I respect my privacy? Tying identity to money? You should tie your identity to money, you should be responsible, even more if you are running a business. All you anarcho fatsos will end up in jail once any government loses its patience and declare Bitcoin illegal. Dear god, I now understand why Bitcoin will never shake its bad image.
Privacy is an illusion, for Bitcoin to achieve what you want first you need to overthrown your government, is that simple. No privacy is need in terms of payments except the obvious ones, banks balances, etc, that's why I've never have a problem with Paypal, Credit Cards or Banks. I pay my taxes and I don't have anything to hide, that's the bottomline. No bank ever robbed me one single cent, if you guys got a loan at a ridiculous rate then you are the ones to blame.
Bitcoin's potential and disruptive concept (mostly the blockchain) is another theme altogether and we can agree on that but trying to maintain privacy by sending money has only one purpose, illegal stuff, and that's all fine but don't expect to Bitcoin and other bullshit coins like that get adopted anytime soon. Nobody wants to get scammed and I personally prefer to conduct business with real people not masks. Paypal and Credit Cards offer refunds, just letting you know that.
lol... yeah, you are right about the times we live in. Privacy is most definitely an illusion, and people don't really care. And I am in no way shape or form some anarchist or believe we should just free for all it. But think about it, if you want bitcoin to become the next "payment system" then your boss will pay you in bitcoin. Then he could essentially track where you spend that money at all times... is that right? Well I guess you can decide that for yourself. But I would rather have my money private and between the people I do business with. If you want to learn more about how I personally feel (which you probably don't, because you are so content with 'I'm not doing anything wrong' mindset) then you can watch this. https://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters?language=enEveryone should value their own personal space and privacy... I think that this goes into finances too. (at least for me) I do value my privacy, it should be protected but it's not on your control. What do you want? to overthrown your government then? They have infinite data, any government, they track you down if you don't pay taxes for example. You are audited if you run a business. Bitcoin is a pipe dream and I don't understand how it's not have been banned yet, perhaps because they don't want to create a bigger problem, but I'm sure they at least considered doing so. And like I said, Paypal, CCs, Banks never revealed my identity as far as I know, at least not worst than the government which actual "owns" me. I can ask for support to them if some scammer runs with my money. Too much privacy leaves you completely vulnerable to the dangers of this world, one cannot make it alone. I swear people in this forum seems so naive that half of them must be teens. I'm not talking about you though but it's increible the blind replies from Bitcoin's "fanboys". And I repeat I'm not bashing BTC, we are all part of this community one way or another and what Bitcoin actually needs is criticism from us to grow. We all know what outsiders think about it and it's ugly. |

I personally will only buy now after a very large drop. I'm not selling anymore, there's no point at these prices. There are many trying to accumulate 1500 ETH to stake, I think many of those are major companies and financial institutions or just serious investors. 72M Ethers is really nothing if the platform gets adopted by only one major company or institution which I think there's a high chance to happen this year or the next, this is a long game.

you may all be missing the point
paypal is interested in BTC
dont forget they got Wences Casares on board
unless they plan to make PPcoin
dont forget about tax with crypto,
imagine if you shop online, and PP simply converts to crypto before paying seller
sellers can remove VAT from selling price
and buyers would never even know they are buying crypto/btc
it would all be seemless
PP will also save on tax, if it moves all funds around as crypto,
exhanging to fiat only when in their chosen low tax haven, if they even need to.
crypto for PP has big potential
but whether they would adopt BTC (which would be the smarter option)
or create their own and compete head on with BTC is anyone guess
The day paypal incorporates bitcoin, will be one massive leap for bitcoin
I used to think Paypal was interested in Bitcoin because of the signing of Wences Casares but I don't think anyone is interested in Bitcoin itself anymore, it's just a joke for all companies and businessmen. All they care is the blockchain that's why Ethereum is soaring right now and if the uptrend continues during this year (people getting out of Bitcoin) then it could definitely be in trouble. |

We are waiting for All-Star weekend special events. Tonight USA and World game and for Sunday special All-Star prediction game.  Hehe, if USA/World and All-Star games will come next they will be the hardest games to predict ever, anyone should win at least 1 or 2 BTC for getting it right...we know both will be above 100pts though haha |

Speaking for myself... Moving to ETH because of concerns about bitcoin is a good way to get poor in a hurry. But to each his own.
Yes this doesn't sound wise, Bitcoin like I said may be in a lot of trouble but it has proven itself through the years. However we already saw its peak, I doubt it will ever "take off" but it's a great way to store value just like gold or similar assets. Ethereum is not a "coin" per se so it doesn't make sense to go all in. I can do that myself if I want to because the amount I hold is very low so I'm not worried if I lose a % of it, the potential for a great profit is too great to pass. |

I also feel that Ethereum is not only a new refuge from Bitcoin incoming stagnation (or current if you want). But for me there's a lot of actual interest from, institutions, companies and banks that always shunned and laughed about Bitcoin but praised the blockchain. This is a dream come true if that's the case, Ethereum if becoming adopted as an standard for many business to conduct their business and build their platforms would be bigger than anything seen before.
Bitcoin could never achieve what was intended to do, well I don't know if that was its intention, but user adoption has been terrible and that won't ever get better, no common person will touch. Plus its image has been too spoiled and tarnished, mention Bitcoin to real businessmen and they will laugh, they know the money is in the blockchain technology, Bitcoin is just for loonies. Now I don't agree 100% with that, I still think Bitcoin has plenty of value as it is, a refuge from fiat, sort of virtual gold and a gateway to trading all these new projects.

It's actually healthy but not for the faint of heart that price is correcting a little bit, an hyberbole to $10 in two days would be great but it's not real in any way or form. I think the floors have to establish a little more, I can see even going 90-95 but I don't think this is a pump, there's genuine interest in ETH and the potential is real, everybody wants to get it cheap, FOMO. Now, I do understand that placing huge money here it's very high risk though, I for one could not stomach that level of anxiety.
Anyway a pump is what you saw yesterday with EXP, more than 3000% in a few hours...now that's what this community is used too so they think ETH is another scam coin just like that.

ETH has entered the 'Greater Fool' territory. The sell liquidity is crap. If you have a large volume you pretty much need somebody to buy it from you, because the buy market is thinly spread. I sold my Eth a few days ago. I should have held a bit longer, sure, but I look it in 2 ways, Profit or loss? Now many have bought at extremely low prices as I did, so losses are not even a concern. However, It is a major concern for anyone who recently entered. I'm not saying it won't go up more, but rest assure, what goes up must come down. Nothing goes up forever; heed the warning.
Although there is truth in some of your words, the same has been said for the past week even at prices like 500-600. The actual truth is that nobody knows where it will go because this is actually an exciting projects backed by institutions, banks, companies not like other altcoins that are made for a bunch of nerds concerned about privacy to buy drugs. That's what killed the whole scene, Ethereum is the first project (a very professional down, top to bottom) that will cater to a very interested audience. Of course it can become a little irrelevant with the course of the months and years and that's about it. However, it holds the chance to completely change the way we do things, banks for example are looking for a blockchain standard, imagine if in some months the major banks start to adopt Ethereum not just flirt with it? And then comes development of dapps, etc, that's why there's so much interest in it, the potential is really unlimited. The other projects are just nice hobbies compared to it, taking out all the BS bitcoin clones, nobody even uses Bitcoin they sure won't use freaking Litecoin or Dodge or whatever privacy enforced sh*tcoin they are pushing. It won't happen. |

Hi again, you still didn't get in? it's pushing 0.02...$6.2....
Anyway, Ethereum is the next wave like many of us have said because it's what banks actually want, a platform and a token that can become an worlwide standard. Bitcoin not only never could've done that, sadly its image has been spoiled and tainted for many years, it's a joke for most "serious" businessmen and a complete clusterfuck to the average joe who would never in a million years would go near a wallet and authorization keys and decimals.
Actually, you know what happened here? many waited and waited for so long because they know it's all bs and sh*tcoins, then when one is for real (even if it's a bubble, you have to recognize the volume and interest) you can't even see it if it's in front of your face.

These kind of threads bring further confusion into the BTC ecosystem and nonetheless they are what scare newbies who try to inform themselves for the first time.
I see BTC in the early stages still: there's room for improvement and there will be.
No man, it's done, too much negative press and it's a joke, but that's for the common population and regular business though. The community will stay the same and Bitcoin will still be virtual gold, but any dreams that it will get adopted by the mainstream or added into Steam, Amazon, eBay, Google or whatever is impossible, no one would touch it. |

Bitcoin is completely done if it was intended for massive adoption, no one will touch it and no common person can even begin to decipher the mumbo jumbo it means. However it was the first step and a complete unique technology that paved the way and it still works great as some sort of digital gold. But it has reached its peak years ago.

Everybody has there finger over the sell button right now. Just going to take one whale to cash out to start the crash.
I don't think so. This is not like the Blackcoin, Cinnicoin, Quark, Aurora pumps. It will no doubt correct but even a reasonable valuation of the project at this stage puts it at at least a 2-figure percentage of bitcoin's I would imagine. Exactly, plus I think there are a LOT of bitcoiners giving up on BTC, not in terms of that it will die but in terms that it has already done its job. I think it will remain as a gateway to these new technologies and of course as "virtual gold" but the thrill is gone baby. |

There's not just one whale in my opinion and I don't think we are near close to the top yet, but well, this has been said every minute since it was at 600-700 levels. |

Really surprised to see Matt Damon leading the best Actor category. Was expecting Leonardo Dicaprio to finally win one
wut? Anyway, I usually do NBA predictions and I'm not that great either but mark my works, George Miller will get Best Director for Mad Max and he has great odds...Leo is a lock for best actor though and best movie is a tie between Spotlight and The Revenant. |

While you continue to debate if ETH is worth or not, if it's the new coming of Bitcoin or a Internet 2.0 I keep making money. It has been so easy it's unreal and I don't have the guts to go and throw into some actual money, I just put most of my BTC which is not much sadly.
Vaporware? Tokens? What is Bitcoin really? it was and still is nothing more than a clusterfuck and thin air in terms of usability and adoption but back then did you know what pushed the price foward? Potential. What if. FOMO. This is not a regular sh*tcoin bubble, people really want to invest in it and know they are getting it cheap but that doesn't mean Ethereum is the real thing either.
Bitcoin is the reason for ether's existance. No bitcoin = no ether. Dont get cocky just because your coin is doing well. It's not my coin that's the thing, I'm not a Bitcoin fanatic, I appreciate its unique technology and complete disruptive idea but I'm one of the worst critics here which of course is a sea of fanboys. In many ways I agree with Hearn statement but I can see there's still value in Bitcoin, it's a great internet vault or refuge like gold was (still is but hey, we are a different generation). But for the rest it has failed, its adoptability is atrocious and as a payment method is laughable, no common person will touch it with so many other options like CCs, Paypal, etc. Of course crazy loonies will jump and talk about privacy and stuff like that, yeah people are very worried about that, ask Snowden...they don't give a sh*t. Now, ETH might be a bubble (like I said, I don't care, I'll make money either way) but I also think there are companies buying ether, this is not the usual P&D, it's seems more than that, this could really be the next Bitcoin because it doesn't have its stigma plus it's a much bigger platform that if implemented can change how online business and companies/banks work, it can actually become a standard, which Bitcoin has failed time & again, it will never be adopted by big companies because of its bad image which we can all agree it doesn't deserve. |
