3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Advantages and Disadvantages use cryptocurrency like Bitcoin for online gambling on: December 02, 2016, 06:56:03 PM
*Looks like there's no thread discuss this.

Bitcoin and Online gambling.

Bitcoin, we know this history, in 5 years since first time introduced, the price reach $1000/coin which this boom the popularity, although the price movement can't go flat, it's like rollercoaster, especially bitcoin price is volatile.

Online gambling will became the dominant form of gambling, considering an innovative form has been created.

Advantages and Disadvantages use cryptocurrency for online gambling.
Advantages
Quote from: Cex.io Blog
Bitcoin gambling is cheap. Because it doesn’t require transactions such as deposits and withdrawals being handled by any third-party processor, transaction and casino fees are minimized to assure comfort of the users.

Not having a central controlling authority makes Bitcoin easily transferable between peers, while the ownership is preserved and protected. Moreover, everyone can transfer as much as he or she wishes; the sum is very flexible.

One of the greatest advantages of Bitcoin is its complete anonymity. Because gambling is a sensitive area, many players would prefer keeping their personal information private. With Bitcoin, what needs to be validated is one’s payability, not identity, and it is already maintained through private keys.

Casino deposits and withdrawals are done in a quick manner, courtesy of Bitcoin: it takes mere minutes to confirm each transaction, and players experience little or none distractions during the gaming process.

Bitcoin gambling can be viewed as currency non-specific, which offers users the possibility to gamble on websites that would otherwise be inaccessible for the player. This is also the reason it is impossible for the user’s geographic location to define whether he or she wins in that particular casino or not.

Quote from: cryptocoinsnews
Cryptocurrencies cannot be counterfeited in the way which credit cards and banknotes can.

Transactions are carried out immediately, whereas with some traditional methods you’d have to wait for longer periods before the amount appears in the account.

Cryptocurrency transactions generally include lower fees compared to traditional transactions.

Everyone with an internet access can take part in cryptocurrency trading.

The identity of the trader is protected as sensitive information is required to complete a cryptocurrency transaction.

Disadvantages
Quote from: Cex Blog
Bitcoin’s price is known for its volatility. In comparison to traditional gambling, fluctuating value is only applicable to BTC gambling, since the price of a fiat currency is usually much more stable. Gamblers should follow the price changes in order to gain maximum profit.

While the usual Bitcoin transactions take minutes to be approved, it might not be the case with online casinos that use cryptocurrency. For security reasons some websites process withdrawals manually, which makes the procedure time-consuming.

There is a high possibility of hacking. In order to avoid it, the players have to use extensive security measures or fund protection recommended by the online casinos.

Also, Other Disadvantages is people become easy to being addicted which no one know your gambling activity using cryptocurrency.
This also vulnerable to scammer or suspicious activity which come from house or player itself.

What your thought?

8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / AXA Eyeing Bitcoin for Remittance Market on: September 09, 2015, 06:52:51 AM
Multinational insurance and asset management company AXA is eyeing bitcoin to help streamline the remittance market, the general partner of its VC fund has told CoinDesk.

Minh Q Tran said AXA Strategic Ventures, the bank's $223m fund, and its accelerator, AXA Factory, are treating digital currency as an "investment thesis".

Quote from: Minh Q Tran
We think that many use cases related to bitcoin have not already been explored. In particular we are very interested in how bitcoin, and more generally cryptocurrencies, might be used in the remittance market.

12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Ukraine May Soon Legalize Bitcoin on: August 31, 2015, 06:58:35 PM
Quote from: Kuna Bitcoin Agency founder Michael Chobanian
Ukraine became the third country in the world after the UK and Canada, where the central bank decided to study the prospects of cryptocurrency in developing new financial technologies. This will ensure that we maintain our current leading position in the world of Bitcoin.

Prior to the meeting, the BFU prepared a lengthy presentation, which was then sent to any interested parties, explaining how Bitcoin works and prospects of its blockchain technology so that the talks would be more “constructive.”

The meeting was hailed as a success.

Quote from: Chobanian
I would conclude that the meeting was very positive, so the future is bright for Bitcoin in Ukraine.

14  Bitcoin / Legal / The Real Cost of Applying for a New York BitLicense on: August 14, 2015, 04:26:56 AM
Quote
Frost estimated the application cost Bitstamp roughly $100,000, including time allocation, legal and compliance fees.

Quote
Jaron Lukasiewicz, CEO and founder of Coinsetter, noted his company had spent approximately $50,000 on BitLicense-related expenses over the past two years. "I think its bigger cost, though, has been in the uncertainty it created for investors looking to invest in our space – hopefully that will begin to reverse itself now."

Why the cost between Bitstamp and Coinsetter is different Huh

19  Bitcoin / Legal / Australia Ready to Treat Bitcoin as a Regular Currency on: August 08, 2015, 07:48:29 PM
Quote
After ruling Bitcoin as an intangible asset just a year ago, the Australian Senate Economics References Committee now feels that Bitcoin should be treated as a regular currency for Goods and Services Tax purposes. This is due to many emerging enterprises leaving Australia for other countries with more progressive cryptocurrency regimes.

It will be great for the next step of bitcoin for bright in the future.

20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 7 Politicians in Support of Bitcoin and Blockchain Tech on: August 08, 2015, 06:28:11 AM
Quote
With FinTech playing an increasing role in global affairs, it is perhaps not surprising that some governments and politicians are embracing innovations such as blockchain technology.

Just yesterday, CoinDesk reported Blockchain CEO Peter Smith was one of the 31 executives to participate in a trade delegation led by the UK's Prime Minister David Cameron to promote FinTech businesses in Southeast Asia.

This, however, is not the first time bitcoin and politics have come face to face.

Here's a list of some of the most high profile politicians to embrace bitcoin and blockchain technology to date.

Quote
1. Jared Polis
The US congressman first caught the attention of the digital currency community in March last year when he issued a satirical response to policy makers wanting to ban bitcoin.

In a move that would see him gain significant following among bitcoin enthusiasts, Polis argued that the US dollar should be banned, not the cryptocurrency.

During an interview with CoinDesk, he confirmed he would work to wade off the government's potential attempts to skirt bitcoin growth whilst in Congress.

He added: "If there was an agency that reacted in an irrationally negative way to digital currencies, I would be happy to rally support [in Congress] to restrict their funding."

Applause for Polis Shocked
