Doesn't dice bore you after a while? It's easy and fast, but offers no way to influence the odds.
I prefer card games or sports betting, because there's that shorter or longer period of uncertainty. With dice everything is revealed instantly.

I haven't seen an insult channel anywhere else and I think it's a great idea.
You guys must be working hard, because there's something new on your site like every week.
I think it's going to be more like with alcohol in the times of prohibition. Once it became legal again people lost some of the excitement.

Since Satoshi isn't in any  way controlling Bitcoin or influencing it, I think there would be no reaction. Maybe a small dump by market manipulators that hope to cause panic among clueless investors and buy low. I wouldn't care if he's dead or not, why would you?
To know that he's dead we'd first have to know his identity. This would be a more breaking news than his death.

If I were OP and had 20BTC right now i wouldn't risk an investment. There's a high chance Bitcoin will break $3000 this year and you have a lot to gain just by holding it.
Investing is taking a risk. Why would anyone risk a possible $10k that you can have from holding for another possible $1000 from an investment in something like a casino?

The SegWit news are creating this positive aura around Bitcoin. Litecoin is also doing great. It's possible both will gain 10% before the end of Summer.
Just don't forget that when everybody is getting excited it can end bed. The majority is rarely correct when predicting the market.

Maybe you can pay your bills with Bitcoin, but I can't. Bitcoin isn't accepted by most governments even as an alternative form of payment. If you want to pay bills, taxes, or pay any institutional fees, like in court, you have to use fiat.

With Segwit activated Core Devs will still have a go. Bitcoin requires constant development and this time their idea didn't gain the majority of votes, but we still have a lot to do. In 2 - 3 years we'll need another update, because 2MB will not be enough, maybe then it'll be their time to shine.

I think you might got a real TX ID, but the transactions are stuck.
Maybe this has something to do with the recent flash crash. Somebody dumped $30 million worth of ETH, maybe Vitalik is buying a private island

Also, take a look at comments here. People are waiting for 48 hours for confirmation.

I think it's pretty safe. There's a certain risk that the account is somehow compromised and you'll find out a week or 2 after buying it, but that's a risk you're willing to take.
Like others have said use a reputable escrow and you can be sure to get the account. What will happen to it next is another story.

Your post looks like you're more than just their investor. They must be doing really bad these days if they need to promote via newbie accounts.

You should thank him OP if what he said is true. If your transaction got added on viabtc it's most likely going to be confirmed within an hour. I've used them and they are very reliable, but you have to be quick and reserve a spot at every full hour. If your transaction is not confirmed in the next 1-2 hours it means that it wasn't accelerated.

Tell your friend to choose a more stable exchange that didn't face Bitstamp's  problems in the past. BTC-e is a better choice IMO.
Also, if he's not planning to keep the money in there for long it doesn't matter which exchange he chooses. Chances that it gets hacked on the exact tad when he sends the money are slim.

Independence means there's nobody to turn to if anything goes wrong. No shoulder to cry on if you fuck up.
I've noticed people have became very childish, unable to make their own decisions, and this is a huge issue for them. I'm happy that Bitcoin came up now, because 50 years from now people would be unable to use it. We'd be so brainwashed that independent money wouldn't have a chance.

If you're worried about your kids murdering each other over your stored coins, you might as well be sure not to leave them anything or they might do the same over your house, car or anything else that you own.

I'd make a challenge for them, since including it in my will and making it official would probably mean huge taxes.

Poker and BJ with live dealers can be quite fun to play, I recommend if you haven't tried. I wish more sites were offering it, but it's expensive to set up, so not many can afford it. A good gambling site should be provably fair and reliable. Always online and quick to update balance and send you your money.

It depends what I want to play at the moment. For instance I rarely bet on sports, only on huge events and only certain sports like football, because I don't follow too many. When I feel like betting, I choose Nitrogensports. As far as "games" go I like dice on yolodice. I'm usually checking which site gives out bonuses or has a competition going on and play there.

But it's their fault that they choose to mislead customers offering them lifetime contracts that are not meant to last a lifetime. If your contract starts making very little profit they'll terminate it. Their system is based on borrowing money from customers and paying them back over a period of 1-2 years and then terminating the contract.

I also believe this is going to happen and not only because of bitcoin wallets. Wallets are usually encrypted and people don't carry huge money in their mobile phones.
What makes the thieves target phones are their ridiculous prices. A new model can cost over $1000. That's more than a good PC or a bicycle, but much easier to steal.

Another thread about the same thing. I've seen at least 10 similar ones where people were crying about transaction times and fees. Guess what, whining won't make your transaction confirm faster and it won't lower the fees. We are all aware of the problems and block size debates and we are all hoping for it to get resolved.

Crimes are part of everything because people are always looking for easy money. You have IRS scammers calling you and threatening to put you in jail if you don't pay your taxes by buying a gift card and sending them the code! Does that make the IRS responsible in any way?
Where there's money there's crime.
