Too bad it isn't Creative Commons or public domain, the image could easily be adjusted or used for other currencies.

I think it does have greater impact now that it's specifically compares against the Bolivar, but it would be great if you could make duplicates with other fiat currencies.

The person you replied to stated that it might have something to do with confidence, which is a fair claim imo.
You'd bet differently when you're confident, which could affect the way you're playing, perhaps resulting in more winnings.

I could really see this work when playing poker against other players for example, maybe not so much with slots though...

That's not the sort of user that this site is geared towards, plus there are already countless websites offering that sort of information.
No, this is more comparable to Preev and it's just fine to have a service like that.

I'm having some trouble reaching Preev atm, so it definitely would be useful to have another service like that.
Again, this is not a service for traders, just for people who want to look up the Bitcoin price quickly or make a fast conversion.

I know that OP wants to add more data, which would be fine, but I'd leave the front page as simple as it is, while adding the additional info to other pages.

I doubt the high transaction fees will kill Bitcoin, but they certainly hinder Bitcoin's usage as a currency.
Personally, I'm secretly hoping that more people would switch to Litecoin, holding quite a bit of that too and transaction are much faster and less expensive.

When I was looking up the prices earlier, I thought the ETF was approved, since I just saw a price spike go to around 1340 dollars on Bitstamp.
Must've been something else though.

I personally would rather see it get approved now, can't wait to follow the hype once it happens.

Investing is not the same as gambling though, you don't get the same thrill of it as you do from gambling.
Small investments are good for testing the waters and seeing how much you'd make.

Well, before you invest any amount, there's only one thing you need to do: research.
Look up their results and check if there are any negative aspects about the business that you're choosing to invest in.

After you've invested, make a spreadsheet and log all your profits!

I definitely wouldn't use that feature if it was offered on a gambling website.
There's too much information on social media profiles and I think that a gambling site doesn't have any business knowing everything about you.

This statement in the article made me laugh:

An opening bet of just 0.16 BTC is not really small, but it's interesting that they used the phrase 'opening bet'. That should mean that he'd just spent 0.16 in total?

I really like the simple design and I don't think that you should add much more info on there, as others have suggested.
But the graph seems a bit weird, seeing it without any reference values on the x and y axis. Or am I not seeing them because I'm looking at it with a smaller screen?

The problem with the current fees for Bitcoin transactions is that they do not really scale.
Micropayments are practically impossible right now, adding around 0.0015 BTC in fees for a transaction worth 0.003 BTC is pretty expensive.

It wouldn't be difficult to build, but I doubt that you'd get any decent amount of money out of that.
You're catering to a very specific localized subsection of Bitcoin users and have no clear way of making money.

I doubt you could charge anything for a service like that and other forms of revenue are limited when you're serving such a small niche audience.

To OP:
An exchange might be a good idea, if you have enough capital for that.

Look at this example, this is a Dutch/Belgian exchange that charges a premium for buying and selling Bitcoins instantly. They even have an option to send the payment to your bank account within 1 day (And having the money available to spend the same day)
It's this: http://www.bitonic.nl

This exchange is purely geared towards end users of Bitcoin, no option of really trading professionally on their website. And they have a pretty high volume.

I'm not sure if there's a similar service like that in the UK, if not, starting something similar might be a pretty lucrative endeavour.

I thought this one was pretty clever:

I only use this strategy on faucet claims at Crypto-Games, which is 4800 satoshi's for me.

I start off by auto-betting 100 satoshis on 75x and I pick the option to 'Switch over/under on win'
When I get to around 20.000 satoshis, I switch to 175x and stop when I get to 50.000 satoshi's

From there on, I either put all my money in their lottery (10k sats per ticket) or I increase the betting size and repeat.

This fails often and you need to be very lucky, BUT, I have managed to win up to 0.05 btc more than once.
Either by winning a prize in the lottery or just by playing dice and getting very lucky.

It also helps that you can make 25 claims per day :p

Crypto games shows stats on how much they make per game and per coin. You'd have to factor in that part of those profits are paid out to investors, but it's easy to calculate.
You can also check the invested amounts of the admins on the website, so you'll get an idea of what the owners earn.

Here are the stats for the BTC dice game:

You can save money and still have a good time you know
I personally think that young people should learn to be responsible with their money and start saving early on. It's very useful to have some savings set aside for when you move in with a partner, plan on buying a house or for emergencies.

Investing part of those savings into Bitcoin will most likely give them a head start in life if they're able to hold them long term. Even with possible crashes, the trend is upwards.

I save it for future purpose, but also to spend some in online stores that accept Bitcoin.
Most of us probably save it because we see it as a good investment and there's nothing wrong with that.

Uhm, yes you will know when Bitcoin crashes. You'd probably have a few hours or days to still sell your Bitcoin at a reasonable price.
I'm of the opinion that you can better sell for fiat than other altcoins. A Bitcoin crash would likely also affect the prices of Altcoins as general panic sets in.

I don't think Bitcoin is dead, but I'd sure like to see a decent scaling solution implemented as soon as possible.
Having to deal with these high fees for weeks now really limits the ability to send small amounts.

I've been using Litecoin more often than before, I hope they'll get to the segwit activation threshold soon.

I regularly pay for takeaway with Bitcoin through takeaway.com, I've probably spent around 600 euros last year alone.
In the past I've ordered from http://www.beesbros.com/ and http://bitcoinjerky.com/.
