I'd also be interested in an account having the game if anyone has that, LMK. Just nothing illegal please.

Giftoff.com has steam giftcards, they're in GDP though and don't have a 5 pound one. It's better for gifts and appropriately big orders other other than loading the wallet with the minimum amount.

I'm looking to buy Battlefield 3, please PM me with offer, I'll go first only if you're trusted, else we'll find a way. 

Offers sounds good but I think you'd need to provide more info. What region is it in, what's the current rank, is it your account etc.

As we're entering the second half of May, I think that the OP deserves an update. Anyone wanna help me find more evidence that 2016 has so far been boring for bitcoin? I think I'll be adding the Craig Wright/Satoshi stories, but need ideas about more.

Similar story here, I had put small bets on Russia but when the Jury vote was almost over I thought It'd be good to average the risk by placing bets on someone else. At the time Ukrain was only second to Australia but had a 20x multiplier.  

Wew lads, this thread is a bit old don't you think? I'm locking it now, start as I see it as irrelevant since the price is above 400$ for a while.

My last minute bet on Ukraine for the Eurovision was spot on. Anyone else had luck with Eurovision bets?

The thing with Shift is that they're US only, otherwise it's great for POS transactions and anything else you'd use a debit card for.

That sounds nice but you didn't include a link to your products. Are you selling a product/service or are you here to promote your referral link? Edit: I see that you added a direct link, good luck.

Nice! I'm back in with BetBTC and it feels nice. 

CEX's service sounds interesting but sadly the fees make it very inconvenient. Then again, this is a new service for an emerging market, even they said that their service's fees will improve over time. I hope that in the future, businesses in the cryprocurrency space will be given the chance to establish partnerships that will help make their services even more competitive with conventional payment channels.

OP here has the time to post multiple times in a day but doesn't care about filling the remaining spots. Doesn't seem like a good campaign manager.

I think that's true, innovation in bitcoin's developments seemed to have reached a halt when the schism happened. Ethereum's homestead released just on the right time to grab the attention of speculators at the time, but the hype is now dying off slowly. More and more funds are re-entering bitcoin-fiat markets as volumes for ETH/BTC fall.

Why are people trying to paint China as the evildoer in all this? The Chinese hold a strong portion of the bitcoin market, why would they try to keep it down? China is generally doing a lot to keep bitcoin up while systematically ignoring ETH, so I'd say that the contrary of what OP says is true.

Actor_Tom_Truong has been posting in this forum for more than 3 years now and he post links to conspiracy videos/articles almost every day. I looked to some of his first posts, and it seems like he started posting conspiracy-related material just days after opening his account. I've never seen him interacting with people that reply to his posts, but I've also never seen him talkning about bitcoin.

Maybe this guy is actually paranoid and actually believes the conspiracy theories he looks into but I don't get why he'd pick this forum in specific. Perhaps he's just pretending and posts here to make bitcoin look bad?

The number of bitcoins owned by the richest holders is increasing as bitcoin grows older. Adoption could very well be a sham, because as a matter of fact the biggest holders keep accumulating more bitcoins, no matter how much bitcoin gets trader every day, this trend doesn't seem to be declining.


4.5m bitcoins are held by the top 500 richest addresses
15.5m bitcoins have been mined so far

This has been a little too dramatized. People supporting the classic fork like to sensationalize this event as if it's of any significance. Gavin hasn't contributed to the Core Git for a long time, he was asked multiple times to give up his access but didn't do so on his own despite being inactive/working on other projects over a long time. And it's not even like he can't contribute to bitcoin anymore. If he has improvements for Core, he's free to submit pull requests which will likely be accepted if they're valuable and viable.

I'd expect a more formal name, the bitX format has been all over from bitcoin companies. I honestly didn't expect authorities to use it. 

On a more serious note though, I don't think that this is necessarily bad for bitcoin. The fact that there's a publicly accessible ledger doesn't make it ideal for criminal transactions, I'd rather have criminals stop squatting on it, they make bitcoin look less legitimate. Also we have to appreciate that they took a more investigative approach other than doing the most illiberal thing and outright banning bitcoin like certain governments did.

Can I participate?
