Due to the amount yes i would take a punt and put it all in bitcoin/litecoin.  You can earn this amount back quickly.  I only think its worth worrying about divesifying at certain levels of wealth.

Problem is federer is getting on a bit, even though he has a stlye which is great for playing at his age unlike we see with nadal who's style looks like he dislocates his arms every match.  Its still very difficult for fe to beat he likes of murray and djork now.

The interest did wane i think but that peaked about 2-3 months ago.  All the numbers were down on social media etc.  If you look now things have been climbing for a while. 

This will sort itself out in a couple years, the only thing we can do meantime is instantly convert to something more "stable".   Its a good store of value now long term its just high risk .

The single biggest problem with bitcoin is making it accessible and useable for any idiot.  Maybe the 2 problems overlap a little.

Hey,

Interesting....  from my memory pokerstars need some details from you to deposit and become a real money player.  I signed up like 10 years ago now so its hard to remember what i gave them lol.

I guess you either built up some money via winning freeroll or have someone transfered to you.  You know, pokerstars treats money transfers on a case by case basis.  The transfers aren't automatic the staff review it and give it the OK, you can tell this by how the transfers take random amounts of time to go through. So it really depends on who is reviewing your transfer and how much money it is for. 

If you are trying to send someone $10 i reckon it will be no problem, if you are trying to send like $5000 i think they may want to know a few more details.  You can always try it and get rejected, im guessing you dont want to attract the attention though if it fails?

Remember though pokerstars are more concerned about checking money on cashouts, player - player transfer will always be slightly loser security vs cashout.

Referess will always slightly favour the host nation just like they will always favour home teams slightly in any normal league football.  Perhaps when you are in a country with millions of passionate football fans you want to do a good job for them for fear of retaliation.   Its possible with international games the ref bias is accentuated due to borders.  In the womens world cup we've seen the same thing with canada getting favoured heavily.

TBH i played 2 or 3 account members on here who didnt pay me when they lost, granted that was at 9 ball pool and i kicked their ass but still.  I cant really be bothered to name names but yeah people dont always pay up even for tiny amounts.  Im not sure i could be bothered with escrow either way. 

If you want to make sure people pay up i guess you have to make sure you are playing the right people.

Hey Bro,

You can play plenty of free poker, you can play freerolls on just about every site these days where you can win realy money and cost yourself nothing but time. 

You can also play with play chips and not win real money but just learn how the sites and games function.

Hope that helps.

If threat of violence is the lowest form of persuasion what is the highest?  (unless you can think of something lower than threat of violence)

Just a word exercise, make the sentence more correct if you like. Perhaps a scale, is so what would be in the middle?

Its possible huff could have took very large percentages out of the whole bitcoin gambling economy if he managed $8000 per secound at primedice.  Hes probably sat on a beach somewhere earning 20% working out how to hack the next bitcoin site.

Yeah interesting, i have updated the OP and put this link https://medium.com/@Stunna/breaking-the-house-63f1021a3e6d and quoted the story for historical archive.

In the WSOP there are tons of fish, anyone half decent at live poker has an edge.  The high quality pros are no problem when there is only 1 or 2 per table.  You can just avoid the better players and pray off the fish like the pros will be doing anyway.

We've had uptrends before with less use then bitcoin has right now.  If left alone bitcoin does tend to go up over time.  A killer app would be nice for fast growth but i think we'll see growth all the same like in the past.

These are the big 2 to watch out for but you wont get much decent odds on them, maybe a player like wawrinka could be a good pick.  He is in good form and is not bad on grass as we have seen in previous years.

Many of us would have something like 90% net work in bitcoin if everyone accepted it other night.  You would have to use it to live your new richer lifestyle.  You cant spend anything when you are gone remember.

What model is a high quality webcam these days? I want a high quality static one and....

Might need another one with ability to zoom and pan via laptop contol, can be wired or wireless  i guess a USB connection would be best if wired.

Suggestions welcome.

Sales calls is something i still get tons of until i found this easy and fun method of getting them back:

Its now no longer a problem 

Just finished watching england beat canada on repeat since it was on live late in the morning last night.  Pretty shocked england won the game but they deserved it.  Still think they could be in trouble vs any of the other 3 teams left in the comp but who knows perhaps they can out strength the skill of japan.

USA vs Germany i'd pick USA after seeing how poor germany were vs france.

If you want to pay me what my bitcoins are worth @ the 21 million cap level then fine, if not then no way i support the change, think most of other people would see it this way until bitcoin is more mainstream.
