there are a lot of important factors here that make a coin worthy so it can grow, it is not only market cap or volume.
it is important to see why that particular coin has that numbers, is it really good and useful that people have bought the coin (the increased demand) or is it just a stupid hype causing a bubble.
so the history of the coin plays an important role here.

there is no way he is satoshi, he is just playing with us, proving identity is so simple, there is no need for extended arguments about this and there is definitely no need for extremely long comments that nobody reads!
show us signed message then he is satoshi, plain and simple.

also even if he moves the coins, nothing bad is going to happen to bitcoin, people will panic and sell and that will only create an opportunity for the whales to buy more cheap coins.

and also if anything, it will strengthen bitcoin more because in case of a dump the big question of what will satoshi do with his coins will be solved and there will be a balance in market.

why 2017?! this year is just getting more and more interesting in my opinion, we thought the halving is going to be the only exciting event in 2016 but so far there are a lot more exciting news coming out like the steam accepting bitcoin and the newest thing about satoshi.

i agree.
but the problem is that this "POKER" you are talking about doesn't fit here. because in order to do that (i mean to go all in and be sure to win) requires you to be face to face with the other players in order to read them and decide which hand is the best opportunity to go all in and win big time by doing some manipulation too.

and since it is bitcoin gambling and online, that is not applicable here at all.

congrats on your big win, it is a big win and don't think of it otherwise. it is big for everybody to win in dice.
and now you should cash out and don't look back, and continue with your plan (doing the same as before and not betting with the profit)

also i am interested to see how much your overall profit is, from the start till now how much did you lose in total against winning?

i have never actually played any slot games not online nor offline in a physical casino. but from what i have seen from this particular game i don't find it interesting at all. actually i think it is more boring than playing dice games. although i would love to try it on an actual casino like in Vegas.

minimum deposit of 0.1BTC is so high for a brand new website with no prior history. you should make it free and do some giveaways first so people can test your website and build up trust with 0.0001BTC amounts for minimum and if anybody wants they will deposit more.

since bitcoin doesn't change no matter who satoshi is, i would still like bitcoin and continue liking it as long as it doesn't change or better said it only changes for the better not the worst.

but i would definitely be disappointed to see satoshi is such a shady character to be honest.

i hope he doesn't move any coins from the early blocks, i am not yet convinced he is telling the truth but if there is 1% chance that he is satoshi i think moving the coins is stupid and he should only sign a message from the address, that is enough. moving those coins might create mass panic.

i don't think so.
right now it is not completely clear which way it is going to go, it can go sideways with ethereum price but if you have bought at the way up then sell before it is late but if you have bought sooner then you can wait a little longer.

i can see ethereum be worth at the $10 range and go up and down like a jump rope with the price but i don't see how it can rise up to some high prices like $25+ as OP is suggesting.

being rich means you already have invested your money in different stuff like equipment and businesses that are already making you enough money that you are considered a rich person.
so that is why rich people are gambling more than others because they are earning more (money is making money) so they care much less about losing too.

wow, i have never seen this topic here so far, don't know how i missed it
it is indeed an interesting question and lots of interesting responds too.

it will all come down to each person's beliefs so that is not something that other people can tell you and everybody should check their own belief by looking into themselves.

it depends on what i am doing and how much i want to risk on that particular game. for example i will never risk large amounts on dice games because my losing rate is just too high in that game. but i am more willing to bet more amounts on other games like sports betting.

but one thing is for sure, i will never goo all in or big in like the story in OP is describing. that is just a disaster waiting to happen.

your first reason is the worst reason to come back and that is how people end up addicted to gambling you should never follow your loses and let them get old and move on with your life.
plus you should always only come back if you are having fun and make a little money on the side too. other than that you will lose your life.

it is because people don't want to go through the headache of making a bet with someone they don't know. there is a lot of hassle like finding an escrow and then in the end verifying who has won the bet, etc.

also things you are suggesting like losing 75 pounds (34 kg) is not something people are interested in betting on.

yeah, it is a little difficult to open their website, it is in fact a heavy design. but most of the casinos especially those with poker and such games are a little heavy. i think it has something to do with the javascript and if you have an old computer you might have trouble running it on your cpu in addition to your internet speed if it is slow.

maybe you are a gambling addict that you have lost that much and still coming back to lose more.

but to answer your question i have to say that i only ever come back to gamble again because i enjoy the risk taking part which is very exciting to me. besides i have not lost that much to be worried about anything when it comes to gambling.

so i enjoy it while i keep an eye on the amount i have lose against the amount i have won.

i do the same thing too. at least i have it several times in the past when i used to play a lot of dice games. after running the martingale method with the bot i always strike out and lose so there is always a leftover in the bankroll that is remaining and lower than the last double rise so i get mad and bet it all in with one roll and i have always lost so far in this decision.

my gambling strategy is to stay away from dice games for the time being because i have lost a considerable amount of time and bitcoin while playing dice with different strategies.

so now i am trying new games, like sports betting and what i do is i try to find a match that i can be sure about the result then i bet on that. i also try to take advantage of the tipsters that are offering free tips.
