This would be indeed a very effective solution (I admit that I didn´t consider this option at all)!

Regarding the unability to withdraw funds before the chainsplit:
Nitrogensports made a blogpost that informed players of the exact schedule when withdrawals will be stopped and when
the service will be resumed (https://nitrogensports.eu/blog/note-to-our-players-concerning-the-bitcoin-network/).

I concede that other sites have handled the whole chainsplit better, but I don´t rule out the possibility yet,
that Nitrogensports will resolve this in a matter that is satisfactory for all involved parties.

I admit that you are right with your posts concerning the ongoing issues at Nitrogen Poker, though.
Sadsong and you made dozens of posts and the situation hasn´t really improved.
It was telling that the Wednesday freeroll had 600/600 players, when the amount of legitimate
poker players at Nitrogensports is way smaller than that.

Regarding the Bitcoin Cash situation, I´m still optimistic that Nitrogensports will provide users
with the ability to either gamble, exchange or withdraw their BCC/BCH (or the respective value in BTC).

Do you mean Taiwan by other jurisdictions? Months ago they were talking about withdrawals in JPY or HKD, but until today
it is still not possible to withdraw from your BFX account using any of the mentioned currencies.

I think they lost the chance to establish new banking relationships when they introduced their tokens for
the people affected by the hack.

It is telling that other exchanges like Bitstamp never had problems in establishing banking relationships.

This is not true. Bitcoin is not as anonymous as people think. There are already several blockchain analytics startup, which
try to link BTC addresses to users. It is not that difficult. Just cooperate with a large exchange or something like Coinbase and
you are looking at more than 9 million users. Then you can already start linking the withdrawal addresses to real identities, because
most exchanges require KYC in order to comply with AML regulations.

Tracing transactions gets difficult as soon as mixing services are used, conversions to altcoins are performed
or other steps are taken in order to disguise the flow of funds.

Maybe they are working on implementing the possibility of betting with your Bitcoin Cash balance. This could
for sure take some time. It would be in their interest to let users gamble with their BCC/BCH, because otherwise
everyone would simply withdraw it.

I wouldn´t be so fast in condemning Nitrogen for keeping the Bitcoin Cash. Let´s revisit this in a month 

You are aware that major businesses like Coinbase have still not done the "right thing" according to you as well?

Does anybody have plans to buy up these tokens on the cheap?
I expect that there will be tremendous profit potential, if you acquire
cheap tokens and the site actually recovers.

I wouldn´t look for walls on Kraken. Other exchanges have more volume or are more relevant
for price discovery (we all know that certain Asian exchanges influence the market in a way
that is bigger than their actual market share).

Kraken can be neglected in terms of buy and sell walls.

I have three questions:

1. Have you thought about offering the option to secure your Fairlay account using Google 2FA or Yubikey?
I know you have several other options to enhance account security, but they are too restrictive in my opinion
(e.g. I like to take advantage of using various BTC addresses and therefore do not want to lock in
a fixed withdrawal address).

2. I saw a screenshot on a reddit post of your FairlayOfficial account with a preview for the new site design.
This was roughly 2 months ago and still has not been activated. I know you have been busy with the
whole Bitcoin Cash chainsplit and so on, but do you have any new timeline when we can expect the
redesign of Fairlay?

3. I know that you will make Bitcoin Cash balances available. But how are your long-term plans for BCC/BCH?
Will you allow users to deposit Bitcoin Cash or place predictions with it?
I´m really curious to know how you view the recent events.

I highly doubt this. Nitrogen has been around for years and is a really profitable business. Running off with the user funds
would be a very short-sighted move. In the long term they will earn enough BTC from their Sportsbook and their other games
without having to resort to cheating.

I suspect they are merely waiting how this whole Bitcoin Cash thing plays out or maybe they are even thinking
about implementing it (I asked if Bitcoin Cash would be allowed for deposits and they answered that they are
monitoring the developments surrounding the split).

It is too early to condemn them for wrongdoing.

Bitcoin has yet to experience a real recession in the US or in Europe. The last big financial crisis
was before Satoshi even released the whitepaper (Lehman Brothers, AIG and so on).

I´m really curious what will happen with the BTC price in a recession where traditional
investment like stocks are doing poorly.
Besides, we have another halving of the block reward in 2020.

I think it was to be expected that swap rates will go down in the long-term. It is probably just a result of a more mature market environment
for BTC trading in general. I strongly suspect that the BFX rates will reach a level, which is not much higher than the rates you pay for margin trading
at traditional fiat brokers (e.g. Schwab or Interactive Brokers in the US). If you are right regarding the new sources of funds, this could of course
speed up this process even more.

In other words, it was fun while it lasted 

I´d like to join your signature campaign.
I have already included the signature code and sent you the necessary
information in a personal message 

Shapeshift und Changelly sind von den Gebühren oft um ein Vielfaches (!) teurer als die großen Exchanges (was natürlich
auch logisch ist, da ja eine Partei mehr mitverdienen will). Würde bei größeren Trades also auf jeden Fall Kraken,
Bittrex oder Bitstamp (ETH Trading müsste dort jetzt auch losgegangen sein oder in den nächsten Tagen starten) nutzen.

Your concerns are valid, violating the TOS obviously could have ramifications in case of such an event. Besides, it obviously is at least questionable in terms of ethics.
I just wanted to point out the theoretical possibility.

Yes, that is the only restriction! It is perfectly possible to deposit BTC, sell them and lend out the gained USD in order to take advantage
of the attractive interest rates without ever making a fiat deposit.

3 options to double your BTC in a reasonable timeframe:

1. Arbitrage between different exchanges. This is even more profitable, if you do it with altcoins or automate it using a bot.
2. Lend it out at Poloniex or BFX in times where interest rates are going through the roof (like before the
chainsplit / the creation of Bitcoin Cash).
3. Simply hold them, we are sure to hit 10000 / BTC before 2020.

Bitcoin is not a pyramid scheme.

Bitcoin´s use case is savings! People finally have the option to invest in an appreciating asset without having to worry
about some central bank expanding the money supply or (sometimes politically motivated) other forces, which reduce
the purchasing power of their savings.

Hi,

I´m selling 5 NEO for either BTC or ETH.

Price for 1 NEO, if you pay in BTC: 0.0081 BTC
Price for 1 NEO, if you pay in ETH: 0.0980 ETH

Minimum amount is 0.5 NEO, I don´t want to do too miniscule trades,
because of transaction fees 

If you don´t know what NEO (formerly known as Antshares ANS) is, it is called the "Chinese Ethereum" 
NEO is up 126 % this week, 417 % this month or 22182 % this year!
Especially in Asia it is extremely popular!

According to coins.live it is currently the cryptocurrency with the 7th biggest marketcap.

Contact me here in the thread or send me a message.

Bitcoin doesn´t need to become a world currency.
Bitcoin´s main use case is savings!

It has outperformed any other liquid asset class over the past 8 years since its inception!

What is stopping any US citizen from simply opening up a new BFX account?
It is not necessary to verify your account at all if you deposit and withdraw only
in cryptos.

I see the reasoning behind their decision, but I think practically you can
still continue to use their exchange, if you want to do it.

What is stopping you from continuing to use Bitfinex? You can easily create a new account and don´t have
to provide any KYC documents.
I don´t really see a way how they can prevent you from using their service even if you
are based in the US.

Besides, you could always use someone else you trust and lend funds using their BFX account.
BTC as a technology makes settling with your "marionette" really easy.

Do you have plans to introduce any additional gametypes? I´m getting a bit bored with
the usual NL Holdem and PL Omaha offer.

Something with more action and a few gamble elements would be a nice addition.

Thank you for considering my suggestion!
