I'm sure that it will explode. Just think about the rate at which esports are growing. 20 years ago it barely existed. There was some Quake, CS and Starcraft where people were competing for 10k USD and that's it. Now competitions have very high prize pools, sometimes close to a million dollars and the number of competitive games is overwhelming. It will take some time before it starts to compete with sports but it will happen.

I have a similar opinion.  People are forgetting about fun and are there for the money. Some just want the outcome which is a positive balance and others are there to satisfy their addiction. I'm not a frequent gambler and when I do it it's with the money I consider lost. Unfortunately I rarely have fun gambling online.

You can always change the seed immediately and continue playing. I don't believe that there are unlucky seeds. You could even have higher chance of success with the old seed because it has the history of a streak and it has to come to an end. Usually there are no totally lucky or unlucky players. The system is made to balance itself and after a losing streak comes a winning streak.

I think it's fine. There's so many ICO scams that it's reasonable to be afraid to promote them. I'm not against them and think people should be allowed to promote what they want but if half of the projects become scams somebody should do something to at least warn people. This ban got a lot of media coverage and worked as a warning.

I like my coins. I know it sounds weird but there's a relationship between a holder and his money. They're treated like a collection. If the collection becomes worthless I'll still keep it as a reminder of what it used to be. Of course a huge increase in value might make me sell but for now I'll keep holding.

The world child porn is infused with so much negative emotions that I wouldn't be surprised if this whole incident was fabricated to make people hate bitcoin and blockchain.
We all know that if you want to destroy a person's image child porn works wonders. You can put drugs in his house, but this will just make him a sick addict who needs help. Put child porn there and nobody will look for excuses.

It won't do much as long as there's still fiat money and you can keep paying under the table. You could make all your employees accept Bitcoin and make their wallets public but you can't stop them from receiving additional money or gifts and favors. How will you prevent that from happening?

He's by no means a loser. Many well known investors and holders like Tim Draper or Richard Branson held coins at the time of the correction and nobody called them losers. They also held coins when they were reaching new highs. Does that make them winners? I sure think it does.

We were 70% in the loss. 5000 USD would mean a loss of 75% from 20000. I think this is already a huge drop and people are still predicting that it could go lower.
This correction isn't like 2014. If you compare the charts, there was a big recovery in summer 2014 and it didn't happen here yet.

The best sites are usually those that use your local currency. If you live in the US it's easy because most exchanges accept USD and but if you are located somewhere in India or Korea, you're best using a local exchange.
The deal is simple. You have Euro in your pocket, find an exchange that accepts Euro transfers.

They have many good players that are rated high but they just can't work well together. For instance to buy Lewandowski you'd have to trade half of the Senegal's team, but they managed to win. It proves that it's all a gamble and you can't really predict the outcome based on the team's rating.

So it was a scam, like many other cloud mining scams before it. I hope people will finally stop falling for these offers.


It's not the problem of regulations. These companies are usually registered and they are paying taxes and should have all the paperwork and be subjected to inspections and audits like all other companies. Nobody cares and nobody bothers to check them until it's too late.

I don't thing you'll get far with that "campaign cheater" trust rating. Also, your email and password were changed which could mean that you hacked this account.

Some countries don't have to look for cheaper ways of sending money. It's the best option for poor countries that could use a technology that will allow them to save money and have an advantage over their richer neighbors. It's great news I hope it's not FUD and they will do it.

This is probably their last chance because if Bitcoin rallies again it will end at 40 or 50 thousand USD and the chance to window to buy belo 10,000 USD will close forever just like it happened with 1000 USD. Many of us forgot about it but 1000 was a price people were dreaming of for years. Now it seems to be so low that we aren't expecting it the worst bearish scenario. 10,000 is going to be the new 1000 in 2 years.

I wouldn't invest based on some article from coindesk. They are often spreading rumors and FUD.
I'm an optimist and I think that bear market is coming to an end very soon, but we shouldn't risk the money because of some unconfirmed news. We are still in the lowest price point this year and it doesn't look good.

Bitcoin falls because the market is based on wave patterns. We had a bullish wave for a year and now we are almost 7 months in a bear market. It was the same in the previous years. The difference is that previous jumps ended in extended bear markets that lasted more than a year. I believe that this one is going to be much shorter.

And more money. The unused power is not paid for, but the resources needed to produce it (which in many countries is still coal) are used.
It's funny that all this "green whining" became popular and everyone is repeating the same thing about Bitcoin being bad for the environment. If every household stopped leaving appliances on standby they'd save up at least $20 a year. Same thing for the LED lights. If they all threw away their tungsten bulbs they'd reduce their usage power usage by 80%.

Many people are afraid that this will lead to centralization and companies taking over the nodes. I'm not worried about that as long as everything goes fast and smooth.
We could always increase the block size or decrease the time between blocks and become another version of bitcoin cash. I think the majority prefers second layer from a fork.

!0% worldwide? That would make it incredibly expensive and your prediction doesn't make any sense. At the moment not even 1% uses Bitcoin, and with that 1% we were sitting above 6000 USD for more than 6 months. 9 times more usage would mean 9 times higher price!
