These are child's play where I live. Never played nor bet on them (too queasy) but my cousins and almost every other boy in town did. Spiders and beetles are boy's faves and dare I say prepares them for cockfights.
By comparison the upkeep and capital for these pets is minimal and I saw a documentary of adults that do take these seriously. I remember beetle fights are also popular in Japan.
Someone mentioned it's hard to bet on these, anyone here who wanna take the challenge? I don't know if it's against guidelines but the games can be streamed on FB and YT.
Creepy crawlies are also less like to trigger PETA so that's another advantage.
Funny that you mention PETA, they are supposed to protect all animals but they show complete bias towards furry and cute animals. Shouldn't insects be held in the same regards for PETA |

I'm against this, its a complete step backwards. Bitcoin was created to cut out the middlemen and give us financial freedom. This is just bringing in a 3rd party to charge outrageous fees and have ultimate control over the payments.

Diversifying among crypto coins doesn't really do much because the market all moves in the same direction together. you need to go and put some money into regular companies, property, and gold if you truly want to diversify.

The worst crimes are the physical ones, you can always make more money but when criminals torture or physical attack you to get your private keys that is a a completely different level and its really traumatic.

This is why I say if you are going to leave any coins on an exchange you might as well leave up some really lowball offers on various coins. These flash crashes happen more often than you think and you may be one of the lucky ones that gets your oder filled.

At this moment we are all doing exactly what McAfee wants, talking about his. I think the crypto community should simply forget about him.
Agree with you. in my personal opinion, John is actually good at utilizing situations where only one goal is to get the whole world focused on him and to always talk about John! John knows this, John knows that, John knows everything lol Any publicity is good publicity and John loves all the attention he gets. I'll admit that I do follow his twitter sometimes, it is quite entertaining. John is hearing a lot of remarks about that bet he placed on $1million bitcoin.  |

Random BCH thought:
I'm surprised it has actually held up this well, it was around $300 at the start of the fork and remains in that area, still a top 5 coin and I'm sure Roger transferred btc for bch right at the start so he isn't doing too bad financially. Long term success is still dicey.

I am really not happy seeing this report, i made the greatest mistakes of my life last night, someone i believed in so much that bitcoin will not climb above $5400 before retracing its step back to $4500 and then speeding up to BULL, i was mislead by him and i sold my coin, only for me to wake up this morning and found out that bitcoin had broken the $5500 resistance
This is why you hodl and don't attempt to day trade. Its likely that the price will never dip down to what you sold your coins for. You may end up having FOMO and buy for a much higher price. If you are serious about making money I wouldn't wait much longer, a lot of institutional investors are dipping their toes in crypto now. |

The playoffs are underway and ESPN won't stop talking about Lebron and the Lakers. Do people really care this much? It must be bringing in higher ratings for them or they wouldn't be doing it.

This is crazy! It was common to send btc to stranger years ago when it was worth "nothing" but now you should be crazy to pay that amount to someone you don't know and without even know how bitcoin works.
People still send thousands via paypal and bank transfers to internet scammers. I wouldn't go around blaming the vitcims, its usually the good hearted people that are too trusting. I hope this scammer gets what is coming to him in the end. |

I haven't been keeping up to date with Hollywood and I doubt I will go see this movie. This film will be filled with baseless assumptions and false stereotypes. I'd rather spend my time doing more productive things.

I think the payment is processing through a third party service. Even if Amazon accepts Bitcoin payments, I won't be buying anything using it. Because, Bitcoin is volatile and I would be too hesitant to sell my bitcoin for goods. If any services accepts gold as a payment, I won't think people would do it. Same happens with Bitcoin.
This title is misleading, you can spend bitcoin anywhere you want if a 3rd party service is involved so you an't really say these places are accepting crypto for payments. Your correct about the volatility, that is one of the main reasons sellers are afraid to accept bitcoin directly. |

I know this is common sense but the best thing is to have many different wallets in different locations. You never want to have all your coins on one wallet. Even if you have the seed on a steel plate located in a vault underground.
I find hardware wallets to be completely Unnecessary, they would be one of the first things targeted if there were any vulnerabilities. I prefer to use an old laptop that is completely clean and airgapped. Sign everything offline and use photos of transaction codes.

I suspect Yobit will cut a lot of these participants, I don't really see them spending this much on bitcointalk advertising. Then again they raised a few thousand bitcoins from their recent IEOs so who knows.
My guess is that the total number of participants will reach 700 within 48 hours.

My parents were never big gamblers. The most my dad ever bet was probably $100 or so. We did play a lot of cards growing up but it was only for fun and nothing was ever on the line.
I think your gambling passion has a lot to do with how you were raised, your mind gets really accustomed to habits as a child.

Well majority of bitcoin holders and users are not concerned about privacy, they are not concerned about the motto or vision of Satoshi. They dont care how bitcoin is made and what it is for. The only thing that is driving the majority is the so called profit. And so if BNB or the so called bank coin can promise them big profit they would likely invest and support it so they can earn. Only a few bitcoin enthusiasts are here for the so called financial revolution against centralization. The world is cruel and money is what matters to the majority of the population including in the cryptocurrency world.
In summary people will hold coins that they think has the potential to bring them a fortune.
It started out with a much different mentality, it was about the principle and the technology. You are right though, the main thing keeping bitcoin popular among the masses is the chance to get rich. That is why we had people throwing money terrible ICOs in hopes of making easy money. |

You have to factor in all the lost coins when looking at the total marketcap. So its not really as big as it appears and a lot of those circulating supplies listed on CMC are false. This market still has a long way to go and don't think hundreds of billions is a lot, that is a drop in the bucket in the stock markets.

Currently, I don't have a job as a retired person, so, I was wondering if mining can get me some money to support our family daily sustenance. Could you give me my best option, and what would be the cost of setting up mining rig? Thank you.
at 0.07$ electric price you can mine all the time, even in bear market like this 6 rigs (8 vega 56 each rigs) cost around 14K$ (the gpus all 2nd, other part are new) a month you can made around 1300$ .07 is still a really high electric rate compared to what these big farms are paying. That is double or triple of their electric costs, it just doesn't make financial sense to jump into mining right now with a normal residential rate. |

It is somewhat contradictory for your post and signature to sit side by side lol.
It is a pity the gambling addiction ruined your family. This should probably be blamed on addiction and the type of gambling and not mere gambling. Not every gambler is an addict
Those few obsessive gamblers give everyone a bad name. Similarly some people can handle their drugs and alcohol but then you have those crazy addicts that make the activity look terrible. Never bet more than your willing to lose, you should go in with the attitude that you may very well lose everything you are betting. |

At the start it was about breaking free from the banking system but the monetary incentive was always there. We live in a harsh world and money is needed in our modern society so I don't blame people that are only using bitcoin as a speculative asset.
