To kickstart crypto 2019 I decided to make a Bitcoin mini documentary: https://youtu.be/WgxD5DmS6z8Things I talked about: 1. Bitcoin's intrinsic value 2. How it could help underdeveloped countries 3. How it could help developed countries 4. Censorship Now I wanna ask your opinions on my main point which is: "Bitcoin's intrinsic value is the amalgamation of the platform, its users, and its development." Now I know some other more famous crypto influencers have mentioned things like decentralization, cost of production, etc., but I think those things are a means to an end and not the endgoal themselves. Like decentralization is for the purpose of censorship resistance and fraud prevention. So you I wanna know your opinions guys. Agree or disagree doesn't matter as long as you explain your point. https://youtu.be/WgxD5DmS6z8At first I would love to answer your second question. I can give you pretty good examples of this. The republic of georgia accepted Bitfury's proposal to build their greatest mining datacenter here and offered very cheap electricity + they and government work together on integrating blockchain technologies. Such a small country appeared in a map of bitcoin world because of Bitfury's biggest datacenter and how they try to implement BC technologies. This can be an example for developed countries. bitmoverI think people lost an interest (at least a little bit) in decentralization because as you see ripple is second coin on coinmarketcap. Also Security tokens (which has to pass all regulations) are gaining popularity too.

As I see bet was made on December 20, 2017 when price was 17K and at that time it was moving between 14-20K, logically that bet wasn't made blindly because if you remember, price went from 10k to 16k in some days, that was insane so since it had so great start and people were so excited, why not to fully follow that and risk? Seems they failed, that happens.

To my mind everytime similar threads are opened, as I see non of suggestion is considered and a lot of replies (not in this thread) boosts spam instead of lowering it. I like idea of removing merit per post and 10 merit per thread once it gets deleted. But also to make everything fair, then every forum member must start from zero. At the same time I want to mention that spam is on every forum, on reddit and so on, you just can't prevent it but merit lowers it too.

As we see bitcoin's price is very low, if it rise then altcoins will follow too. I would say bitcoin is great option to invest, especially now when price is low and there is a potential of rise (there are a lot of reasons which will take a lot of time to post). In altcoins, I think ripple has good potential, it beat ethereum and keeps stable 2nd position. My another favourite is monero, I believe in this coin as I believe in bitcoin.

To my mind real life poker experience is absolutely different from online poker, I think your skills which is mostly good blaffing, can't be used online as well as it's possible in rf. In real life you see player, can understand his emotions, movements, mimics and so on. On another hand can't understand why some people look poker as a skill based game, without card you are indefensible.

There was one good question in this thread from OP: "What kind of reasons can motivate people to start a crypto business?" I would say major reason is very low competition, despite the fact that amazon, ebay and a lot of service can accept bitcoin and destroy everything, they don't do it and haven't done for years. So from this eyesight, there is still low competition and it's more easy to become popular and attract people. Some also may act like they can handle a lot of requests, hold bitcoin and cover fees from their pocket in usd, wait for rise and then sell bitcoins.

Even 1-2 years ago, most casinos were only bitcoin based, well some of them still had ethereum, litecoin and dogecoin because they were popular too but only some casino had that option which wasn't even visible to be fair. Now every casino tries to offer you wide choice of coins, not only those four very popular coin but a lot of like ripple, ethereum classic, dash, monero and so on. This means number of plays who use cryptocurrency has increased a lot and that number doesn't come from only bitcoin.

My answer will be a little bit different but I think logical. Gold is for stable investors but not forget word investor. As you know people don't want all their money to be put in bank, some also want it at home but that's a little bit riskier. Gold is very small but valuable, you can wear gold necklace or something else safely, in a hurry you can sell it and get $$$ in your pocket. But wait, you can hold as much bitcoin as you want in very small flash drive, save that in very hard to find area or backup wallets for safety and keep funds somewhere you wish on digital device. Now we have stablecoins too so no, gold's time is gone at some point but people know gold more than crypto.

Despite the fact that this is long fall too, we had similar falls in past, recovery was always amazing. It's hard to say how well it will recover in near future but I strongly believe in 2020 we will see a huge rise and one reason of this for me is halving. Last rise was followed to halving, despite the fact that it wasn't immediate and took some months, it happened, have same hope in future.

To be fair that's really much to read to get someone interested in donating something. Don't know if you are serious or kidding and trying to get money but why is that your goal? Your "satoshi" didn't do that so why you? Also where are you from? How well do you speak? How much do you know about bitcoin? When things gets abused, then they lose their greatness. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5029017.0 <-- what about this project?

If we consider the fact that ripple is second coin on coinmarketcap and people like it over ethereum and others and since that coin is centralized and out of crypto world, then yeah, security tokens may be next megatrend because they are created for investment (utility tokens too but it's officially) and they have to meet all the regulatory requirements. Btw personally I can't see much different between utility and security tokens, maybe I need to read more about it.

Scam warning!
They are ripping people off. Deposited 0.07 BTC, so not too much, but still money. Gambled a little bit, then submitted a withdrawal. It has been declined, and they asked me to prove (by making a screenshot with bitsler.com opened) that it was I that ordered it. OK, sent.
Then, they asked me to submit my passport. I do not have one, which they probably know actually (filled in my personal data in their website) - since we do not use passports to travel abroad (I'm EU/EEA citizen), only to leave our continent which I didn't - most of EU citizens don't have passports.
And, still, they have totally no verification procedures in their Terms and Conditions, no compliance with EU personal data regulations - and ask for that? How? On what basis?
Simply scam.
Another proof that bitsler is totally a Scam. They are happy if you lose but if you won and you withdraw, they have a problem so you cant withdraw your money. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bitsler!Oh yes, you are absolutely true yeah... Shit, how can you even say that? I want to remind you that Baryom always rewards Legendary members on Bitsler, please see this post as proof: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1268718.msg18390001#msg18390001Also he paid 40 bitcoin to NLNico for reporting some security issues. Also lately, 1-2 months ago one person won 55btc and got it without problem, please see this post too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1268718.msg47976508#msg47976508So don't talk shit without reasons, I don't say this because I am hired by them, this is just trust.

Wow i like that What's the temperature inside room and where are you from? i would like to keep the where i am from " secret" as for the temps , if you mean the hot side , god knows , i never really bothered about measuring it. for the "cold" side it ranges from 15 to 25 in winter and fall, and from 25 to about 32 in the summer and spring. i use an AC in the summer because the temps out side get way to high. * all numbers are in degrees Celsius From your posts it seems you are from Arabic (Did I say correctly? Just realised I don't know how to say that in correct English). Well that doesn't matter but would love to leak secrets haha. Btw you did well in noise reduction, very good set up. Really, how much does electricity worth for you? Mining doesn't worth for me despite the fact that I have cheap electricity, better to save my GPUs now and continue their load once mining gets profitability. If I mine now for cents, doesn't worth, my GPUs will waste their resources for nothing, I am not he one who cares much on network support.

I don't know any parcel forwarding company that accepts bitcoin but I use my local one and that's great, fast and cheap, would post but that company might not be usable for you. Well, my second favourite is myukmailbox.com also forward2me is good as far as I know. leowonderful I don't trust trustpilot reviews because for example they say bad on Asos but I order clothes from them for years and I really order a lot, never ever I had any problem but they have two star and very bad reviews on trustpilot. Better trust redditors...

Curious here is that in reality you yourself knew you would lost, you just imagined yourself unbeatable which you weren't. How did this idea came to you? When you were in profit and said, let's do last bet, why didn't stop here? I amn't here to blame you for your action and add more stress but I won't say any consolatory words. Always do things for fun, not for worsening your nervous.

Oh didn't know if such an amazing idea was here for review. If we look it commercially, I think it won't be very successful, theymos since you mentioned that you are ready for funding project, then great, it will earn small to reduce that additional funding. But will that format be interesting? Don't take it as an advertisement but I think cointelegraph is doing that job pretty well, both on their website and on youtube. I think from you that will be a little bit waste of resources? Maybe.... Don't know but generally idea is very positive and great.

I would say one, guys, this thread was created in 2015 so bitcoin's price and imagination around it was absolutely different at that time, it has nothing common with current one. There is a mix of opinions from 2015 to 2018, that's very wrong. You try to throw arguments against those who wrote in 2015, is that logical? Of course no, so creating a new thread would be better idea if you want to discuss around this subject.

Don't know how good your service is, seems it's not so popular among people, maybe will test in future but to be fair many mixers work well, main idea is how trustworthy they are. As I see, you have Iphone X giveway but since you are here to offer bitcoin mixer and protect our anonimity, isn't such gateway a little bit bad? Because to receive Iphone, we have to provide our data (adress/receiver) and you know who are most of your users. This is a cross between anonimity and identity.

No, he doesn't want Bitcoin themes, he is looking for websites where he can buy themes by paying bitcoin instead of paypal and visa/master card. OP as far as I know there aren't such services that accept bitcoin and if there is, then choice will be very poor. To my mind Envato (Themeforest) is your best bet, just ask someone if they can buy theme for you if you pay them with bitcoins, someone will do that for you if you pay a little extra.
