$25 for an uber ride? $50 round trip? Shocked How much do they charge per mile/kilometer? Huh Maybe I've been living under a rock but that sounds crazy to me.
Cool story. I didn't realize you lived in vegas or near to a place where gambling is legal enough to be savvy @ house games. Is it based on a true story or personal experience? Also how has MMA betting been going for you? I have not seen you post in any of the recent UFC threads for awhile. I've never been to Vegas but it could be cool to visit someday to gamble on MMA e The story is real and from a guest writer. Ive been to vegas, im mostly playing craps and bac in London. Ive been doing good in German Soccer and MMA you can follow my picks at https://t.me/degensignals I will try to get back to posting in the MMA threads here too. You also love the NFL, I reckon? I am a casual football fan and I would like to listen to more of your game analysis and why you make your bets every week in the NFL betting thread. Thank you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4753009.0 |

Hey guys, A massive thanks for your feedback and your kind words folks - it's really appreciated. I acknowledge the leaderboard feedback and will raise it at our next chat about it. Fair point and thank you! The promo is still running here: https://sportsbet.io/promotions/quickspin-summer-tournament Our price boost promo is still running here: https://sportsbet.io/promotions/price-boost-leaderboard Basically, we offer one price boost, per sport, per day so that you can get even better odds on whatever market it is that you choose to use it on. Pretty cool feature. There are a few matches in the Champions Cup tonight - Manchester United versus Real Madrid probably being the best out of the games. There is tennis too with Serena Williams playing against Konta. Looking to the future, we are still looking forward to the start of the Premier League season. Our promo that we are developing is pretty cool (it's coming soon!). The Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 will also be pretty exciting. Not to mention the Champions League! MMA-wise we are still intrigued at Darren Till getting a shot at Tyron Woodley. We have also heard rumours that Conor McGregor will take on Khabib in the near future. Perhaps that what was why Conor took that time off? Who would win that one?Apart from that - let us know what you like (the spins are getting a lot of love), and which sports and markets you like. Should you have any individual account queries or issues, please contact our support at cs@sportsbet.io or our Live Chat and we will be more than happy to help! Best, Mark Sportsbet.io team It is because Dana will not give Tyron the big money fights because Tyron is a complainer. He complained on what fights he wants and did not get, he also complained that there is racisim in the UFC and other childish complaints. I reckon the best move for Tyron will be to go to middleweight and fight Robert Whitaker. Also, Conor is rich now. He will not fight in MMA anymore except if he needs the money hehehe. In any case, why not make it a specials bet? Will Conor fight again before December 31, 2018? |

The bitcoin price went from 6000 to 8000 USD and all the optimism about the future bitcoin price flooded the crypto world again.We have hundreds of "predictions" by the so called "crypto experts" that the btc price will be 50K,100K,500K or 2M after X amount of time.Where were those predictions last month,when the price was under 6K?Those guys were hiding in a rabit hole back then,now they scream "BUY" all over the place.
to be fair many of them used to say basically the same thing before this rise happened too. for example that Chinese dude OP keeps quoting (Tom Lee?) has been a bull for as long as I can tell. he has been saying price will rise up even when it was going down. the only difference is that during a drop the media tends to post and magnify the negative speculations talking about devastating drops and during rises they do the exact opposite by posting the hyped up huge rises. Also, we are easily manipulated by the mainstream and bitcoin news media. We resent a bull in bearish times, and we resent the bear in bullish times because we are always caught in the market moments of mania or depression. In any case, bitcoin is below $8000 now and dropping. I hope Tom Lee is in the news again to confidently state his $25,000 prediction one more time hehehe. |

That's no joke. I really hope we see stronger competitors emerge in the next year or so.
There should be if a startup from China can make $1.1 billion in only 1 quarter. The cryptocoin mining industry has become a very big pie that surely many other entrepreneurs would want to compete for a piece. That won't be happening anytime soon imo. Jihan has got the resources to buy up the best engineers and pay them 200% more than a startup could offer. Also, Chinese people have a culture to Follow the master, So for these engineers, if they get an offer from Bitmain "The master" in this case. Do you really think they won't accept it? The reason Bitmain has reached the stage at which it is purely because of these Cultural values. Plus it's not easy to find engineers who have such extensive knowledge of Cryptos along with ASIC Design. This field requires research and money which not every startup is blessed with. Unless the startup can land an Angel Investor, the chances of a competition rising are slim. But that is $1.1 billion in only 1 quarter, and another projected $3 billion for the rest of the year from only just a 6 year old startup. Bigger, older companies that have the resources to compete would surely also want their piece of that pie for themselves. |

@LTU_btc. Redbull must love having engine problems because they will get more of them next year when the start using the Honda engines hehehe.
Also, Lewis was very lucky in the last 2 races because of rain.

I reckon Dana's storyboard for bantamweight will be if Cody wins, then him versus T.J. will become a trilogy and the loser of the 3rd fight will fight Dominick Cruz. If T.J. wins then his next fight will be versus Mighty Mouse and then the loser Cody will fight Dominick Cruz.
Also, Dana's main storyboard is for Dominick Cruz to return as a champion and let him move up to featherweight for a superfight versus Max Holloway. The UFC needs the money hehehe.

@exstasie. Agreed. I also thought it was reasonable of Pantera to give their price prediction enough time to be fulfilled, if it is to be so hehe.
Maybe this question should be raised. Is Pantera's prediction reasonable enough for you?

I reckon this is only 1 of the very few things that Vitalik said that I agree to as a humble follower of the cryptospace. ETFs make bitcoin more accessible only to the institutional investors, but not the common people. If real adoption was the plan, then wouldn't it be more preferable to make bitcoin more accessible to the common people through other methods? I am not fully convinced in Vitalik's idea of cryptocards but there must be other ways.  Vitalik Buterin took it to Twitter to finally weight in on the recent EFT rejection which was, arguably, the biggest news of the previous week. While he does not deny the importance of crypto ETFs, he believes that there is too much hype surrounding this issue and offers a different mainstream adoption solution.
SEC’s decision to reject Winklevoss brothers’ application suddenly made many crypto enthusiasts feel lost and bearish. However, Buterin didn’t seem to be excessively bothered by that. The Ethereum co-founder proposes preloaded crypto card as a more effective way of popularizing crypto.
Buterin’s tweet provoked a heated discussing that generated hundreds of replies. Some users were skeptical whether the preloaded cards would be able to push crypto adoption to a new level by replacing traditional currencies. While other individuals are certain that Buterin is too dismissive about ETFs, as both ETFs and crypto cards are equally important for the industryRead in full https://cryptocomes.com/vitalik-buterin-thinks-there-is-too-much-fuss-about-bitcoin-etfs-makes-emphasis-on-crypto-cards |

@Thekool1s. Agreed. There are some money laundering schemes that use offshore shell companies, but there are high ranking bank executives that provide money laundering as a service for criminals. Search for HSBC money laundering in Google and look at how corrupted they are.
Also, what the government wants is to control its constituents, not to give them freedom. Bitcoin gives freedom, and the government does not like that.

Pantera has made very healthy returns on their investments in the cryptospace. Would anyone agree in their $67,500 prediction by end of 2019 or do we have no right to challenge it? If yes, then is it better to be sheep and follow Pantera? If no, then would you say that you can beat Pantera's returns for the next 5 years?  On Friday (27 July 2018), blockchain-focused investment firm Pantera Capital Management revealed via a blog post that Pantera Bitcoin Fund had generated a return of 10,136.15% (net of fees and expenses) over the past five years; it also said that it expected the Bitcoin (BTC) price to reach $67,500 by the end of 2019.
Pantera was founded in 2013 by former trader and hedge fund manager Dan Morehead, who is the current co-chief investment officer and CEO. It has over $700 million in assets under management (across two venture funds and four cryptocurrency funds).
Pantera's Bitcoin Fund had its five-year anniversary this month. So, the firm thought it would be interesting to share, via two emails sent out to investors by the CEO in 2013, the basis for its original (and still going strong) belief that Bitcoin would become a global currency and revolutionize how we deal with cross-border payments. Below, we highlight a few key sections from these two emails (we have used bold face used for emphasis.Read in full https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2018/07/pantera-capital-bitcoin-price-will-reach-67500-by-end-of-2019/ |

The Russian government went through the same nonsense, but they were making different rules for different divisions in their government. Agreed, But this is a country where the next "silicon valley" is being made. I don't think they are unfamiliar with the tech which they are dealing with. The issue is more than just a piece of tech. If they approve it they are technically allowing the politicians to theft easily which is a huge issue in these developing countries. IMO it's the matter of how deep the money runs. If the Indian judges are bought/sold then we can expect a approval for the cryptos else there is a slim chance of getting the green signal. That is where Silicon Valley season 6 will be made? Oh no bollywood invasion hehehe. But also, there are the corrupt bank executives. They do not want competition on their money laundering and tax evasion services that they provide for the politicians, the criminals and the elite. Bitcoin will break that monopoly, I reckon. There was also someone in the forum who mentioned that the government does not want the average joe to have some money laundering abilities through bitcoin. |

We can't be sure that bitcoin has bottomed already, because what is against new cycles of drops and ups with a light upward tendency? Even Novogratz said in the interview that he is not sure about it. And he still thinks we need a year for full recovery.
It may or may not have bottomed. It doesn't matter if you don't sell - you are only sitting on paper losses. It might take a year for full recovery. It might take two. But as long as you have the confidence and sit tight, you should make lots of money. Also, bitcoin has a very good future ahead of it. Better than all the other cryptocoins. The people who say that it is old or dying are those who are either new in the cryptospace or altcoin bagholders hehehe. |

@jeffthebaker. If they have a massively popular product, that has millions of users in their marketplace, then why are they moving all their tokens to Binance? Is it for safe storage? Hehehe very doubtful.

What are the best websites to follow the NBA? I want to be an expert in analyzing and betting. Then I need player statistics, team statistics, coach win loss statistics and the latest news.
Also, who are the expert NBA fans who deeply know the game in this subforum?

@kryptqnick. Here is a direct question for you that others might have started to avoid answering because they have gotten it wrong a few times and might have given up hehehe.
Will we find a lower bottom for 2018 and 2019?

@Betwrong, @Harlot. Before replying try to understand what I was trying to say. Bitcoin is really not a currency but software for a message passing system. How can you regulate one as a currency and Whatsapp or Discord as another? If India starts regulating bitcoin as a currency, it might set up a precedent that other message passing systems might be currencies too, which would be bad.
I reckon maybe ICOs cannot be regulated as securites also for the same reason.
I think when replying to a topic in the Press section we actually have two options: 1. discussing the opinion of the poster; 2. discussing the article itself. No offence, mate, but we just have chosen the latter.  Regarding your view of Bitcoin as a software for a message passing system I can only say that IMO the Supreme Court of India will be reviewing entirely another facet of this complex mechanism called Bitcoin. And since I think that the Supreme Court's decision will be made mostly in favor of BTC and other cryptos, there's no need to worry about them start regulating Whatsapp or Discord. ... Well they can start regulating anything they want, but we are talking about banning here, right? Which in a country like India will never happen neither to Bitcoin nor to Whatsapp or Discord. I reckon you do not understand. The supreme court of India should be careful what kind of decisions it is making on bitcoin by basing them on a constitution that is not made to regulate something like bitcoin. It would set a terrible precedent for the other message passing systems that are used in their country because bitcoin itself is but a message passing system of signed messages. I do not know India's constitution, but in America, bitcoin is also free speech that is protected by the 1st amendment. I understood it the first time and that's why I said that I'm sure that the Supreme Court's decision will be made mostly in favor of BTC, because otherwise it would be anti-constitutional. Nevertheless, I think it can be regulated to some degree in the same way that while free speech is protected by the 1st amendment, terrorist propaganda, for example, is forbidden. Then we can agree that bitcoin is unregulable and unbannable. I reckon the best India's supreme court could do is to allow bitcoin transactions in their country but minimally regulate only the services that accept and use bitcoin. |
