I second your thought as I believe circulation is needed to push adoption. But at the same time I think that you are free to act that way only if you are rich.
When your total balance is more than hundred bitcoins or more - then you can say: oh, I spent 10 BTC back in the day, it wasn't that much.
But when you are 'entry level; bitconer with less than 1 BTC then spending even fracture of your stash is counterproductive.

I thought before that when this we finally broke through $800 resistance that $1000 will be fast possibility. But I can see that this is not possible anymore.
Mainly because we entered Holiday season now, and trading on most western exchanges slowed significantly. Our best hope is to stay over $880 - which seems new resistance point.
We will not reach $1000 this year.

If there is even slight chance that casino is manipulating outcome of a bet even when no real money is involved then it is nothing but a scam aimed to lure more people to play.
So do you have any tangible proof that they are scamming people?

Some people mentioned Dash - for me it is somewhat controversial choice, because this coin is known to be dominated by a small number of large whales.
But after looking at their ecosystem I have to say that this system is effective in funding core development and building awareness of this coin.

And the main point which is making Dash so interesting is huge upgrade called Evolution set for release at some point in 2017 -
the best part of this update will be new "wallet system" - users will be able to create accounts and log in to their wallet from any device, directly to the Dash network.  

Expect Dash price to soar after Evolution will be released.

Are we talking about totally new projects or existing coins with the best potential to be the best investment in 2017?

Existing coins which you may consider:

MaidSafeCoin - very interesting project, just wait for developers to finally deliver something more than an alpha version,
Antshares - Chinese Ethereum, this project may be backed by Chinese manpower and numbers - expect something big
Zcash - coins with unrealistic expectations, and I still don't like their distribution system with huge 20% tax - but it has potential and recent HUGE pump shows that Zcash may be a sleeping giant.

First of all, you have to be aware that despite numerous studies that were conducted about this topic, results are still unclear and may not be correct.
Because elusive nature of bitcoin you can't really estimate who is using/owning coins, you can't track or keep index of bitcoin users, not to mention learn who they are IRL.

Some articles: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-user-demographics-european-males-age-25-34/

http://www.coindesk.com/four-types-bitcoin-users/ This text is not exactly about bitcoin demographic, but it is interesting nonetheless.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-10/demographics-bitcoin - this is the most viable source I found up to date.

I am just gonna quote myself here, as scenario I predicted earlier is becoming a reality now. I analyzed today's charts - pump it is not over.
We are totally entered ultra bullish trend,  at this point I am sure that reaching $1000 is not impossible in 2016. It is still not too late to buy.

You shouldn't even started with them. Definitely not in p2p fashion. Bitcoin users are always in bad spot when dealing with old school payment processors (credit card, PayPal users)
And I thought that selling cryptocurrency on eBay or PayPal is against their TOS in the first place - as they can't help with any dispute crypto users might have when something will go wrong.

I am a little sad that I followed sheep mentality of bitcoin crowd and sell part of my bitcoin stash 2 years ago in January.
As I remember price was around $220 back then. When BTC price finally recovered I was out of Fiat and couldn't rebuy my coins.

The only reason you want to do this is to create publicity stunt. There is not need to sell whole PC - what really matters is wallet.dat.
So simple data storage like SSD or even Pendrive would be good. The problem is that owner can copy private keys and use it later, there is no way to check that.

Also I don't quite get what you want to achieve here. Propagate general cryptocurrency awareness among non-crypto users?
I would focus on one coin and try to promote it - and definitely start with Bitcoin - it is the safest bet.

Interesting. I know why you created this thread Dogedigital. It is because strange rules of Duckdice.io?
They use some kind of formula to determine wagering requirement for their bonuses, which is very misleading.
I support your case because I hate any kind of nontransparent rules and promos.
And honestly - Wagered Definition as Bitcoin risked divided by chance is really BS, nothing more.

I am gonna disagree with you. There are various market indicators (RSI, MACD) which states clearly that this is not the end of bullish trend.
We spent too long under $800, so now when that resistance is broken the price may surge higher than $50-$70.

I noticed that as your banner and logo you are using art copied from Guild Wars 2.

I am a very interested in psychology of gamblers. So I want to ask you serious question: what would you do if instead of losing half of your money you won?
Would you stop then grab money and call it a good day? I am more inclined to say that you would gamble until a loss, to push boundaries of your luck.

Of course. It would be foolish no to buy, just look at the technical indicators of bitcoin price charts, they are crazy right now.
After we broke $800 resistance we gained $50 so fast and this is not end tomorrow we can reach $900.

I don't think that the halving has anything to do with current price surge, of course it affected general price but can't be motor for sudden pushes like this.
It is general market attitude and its super bullish trend showing. All we need to know is that this not the end of upward trend, hourly MACD is suggesting more gains.

BUY!

Op, I will put it clearly to you. Because amount of logical fallacies in your posts are somewhat bugging me:

You want people to play and use your site yet you are not offering them finished product.
You may be right when you say that your site is popular in China, but bitcointalk is international forum with English being primary language.
How hard is to edit existing site and add English translation? Telling people to use google translator is like telling them they are second class users.

Do you think that somewhat mixed reception of your site is caused by people being in signature campaigns? Do you think they would say your site is amazing otherwise?
I might agree that some people's responses might be forced when in signature campaigns but they are not gonna change their stance and lie to you all of a sudden.

If you offer a good product/site/service you will find favourable reviews. Give people half baked service and you will be bashed. It is as simple as that.

I tried to test your site, this is what I see:



A whole lot of PHP errors is not good sign when visiting a site...

You know, there is a rule called "presumed innocence" if you can't prove that someone is telling lies or cheating then he in theory is innocent.

If you can't understand exactly how provably fair system, verifier works why don't you try to investigate it further?

Maybe seek help of some people who are skilled with determining whether verifier is working correctly?

So far you are only appear angry and your only line of attack is: "it is a scam because I say so".

I've seen many tipsters/gamblers/enthusiasts trying to complete this betting challenge before. Usually they set some fantasy goal like earning 1 BTC with 0.01 or something.
From what I remember no one ever managed to win all consecutive bets. Usually people got impatient or angry and quit the challenge.
We need to be aware that this kind of betting challenge is very luck dependent and won't prove that you are exceptional sport bettor even if you win.

Anyway, good luck with your games. I will follow your progress.

Can your provide source of this information? I never heard of any Chinese politician taking part in mining bitcoin openly.
I am not saying that it is not happening, but there is no info I could find about this.
