I understand mate, to be fair it is always hard to make a call on the winner of that particular derby. I was almost tempted to place a bet on the draw as well but did not, lucky me. It was a close match for sure and I don't think AC Milan deserved to lose that one, I agree with you.

The spikes are pretty massive, oscillation at his best, but well why not?
People waited when it almost hit rockbottom to buy in. ..

Hi ICOs (funny username )
I would recommend Armoury (desktop wallet) or CarbonWallet (web wallet).
They are strong services as far as I know so you should be happy with them.

Hello
I am no expert in computer science, but surely checking the IPs of the account hacked, and the new account created should be enough for admins to see if the person is not lying? If not using a VPN, but most VPN should be known by admins already.


PS: i sometimes post with a VPN but thats because I work in the betting industry, nothing to do with bitcoin.

I don't know, I find it incredible, he is 36 years old now and I never saw him play that well in the last 3 years, ok maybe that semi final at Wimbledon against Murray in 2015.
Nadal should still end the year as #1.

Inter wins 3-2 easy winner

Federer played like he was 25 years old today, that defies logic.

Hi.
Whats the situation in India?
Its been 286 times I read about a bubble regarding Bitcoin, still the price rises month after month, years after years.
From what I read around, India has been at least three years behind the world in embracing The Bitcoin. But it is never too late.
IMO people who think it’s a bubble are fundamentally averse to the idea of technology or they don’t understand the potential of this technology.
Thoughts?

Not sure it is fake, eventually, if Bitcoin has a future, this is the direction it should take. More regulations, more security bringing more investors, leading to a (high) more stable price in the future. If you are doing nothing illegal, such future should be positive news.

thanks cryptopost, interesting read.
I won't be surprised if it goes below 5000.. at which point it is wise to get more. I will be waiting breathedly to see how Bitcoin Cash responds in case of such a drop.
Reminder: Never bet more than you can afford to lose. But I will definitely go out of my way to get a larger position if it falls that much. Bitcoin tends to always retrace higher than its previous low.

If BTC has a bright future, then BTC price is due to stabilize at some point. The difficulty is to know in which range the price will stabilize. If it gets more stable, it will encourage people to buy more.
I have friends who know nothing about BTC and their fear is " I do not want to buy because the price fluctuates too much ". In short they think it is too unpredictable.
Without being expert, I think the price could gets more stable around 20k to 30k in 5 years from now which would already be awesome if you ask me, but again we do not all have the same target.

I am no expert on blockchain protocols, but it should be disturbing that these hacks keep happening.
Sure in the past there were some egregious mistakes made but I think that we can assume that the people building most of the software that gets hacked are somewhere between competent to expert. Yet they keep getting hacked.
This suggests to me that it is really hard to get these protocols right. This further suggests a problem in design. If only a few people in the world have a deep enough understanding of how to build reliable cryptocurrency systems there’s a problem. The problem is even worse if some of these people build system that end up being hacked. Luckily I am no holder of ETH but I feel for those who are. This should effect the price, surely?

I am the author of this thread and I confess these last few days I have checked the price several times a day

Soccer / Serie A / Inter Milan vs Milan AC

Derby of Italy, this is one of those no team want to lose by any mean. I choose this match to bet on goals because this match is very hard to predict. Both of teams are playing offensive football and i think here we can watch more than one goal just in first half. Both teams can score a lot, so I am gonna pick Over 2.5 goals.

Over 2.5 @ 1.90

Hi LTU_btc. Thanks for your help. It is indeed blockchain.info I am talking about (I have my 12 words stored somewhere).
I will still follow your advice about desktop wallet.
Cheers

Hello guys,
As a newbie in the Bitcoin world, I bought my first ever BTC a few months ago. And here is the situation now:

- I have 0.5 BTC at Blockchain (no hardware wallet yet in my possession)
- I have 0.52 BTC pending on a bet at a bookmaker, this bet will be paid in January (Trump to be President until end of year 2017: Yes).

Is there anything I need to do?
The bookmaker said he will pay the bet in BTC, when it is settled (as the bet right now is very likely to be a winner).

Any opinion very welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Regards.

Merci.
En tant que noob, je suis me inscrit sur ce forum a la base pour donner mon avis sur Mayweather vs McGregor (veridique, je ne pouvais pas laisser dire que McGregor avait une chance de gagner). Par la suite je me suis mis a participer au forum,surtout anglophone, et j'ai vite constater un truc qui cloche,  a savoir que les reponses defilent mais qu'il n'y a quasi aucune interaction entre les utilisateurs, on dirait des bots qui repondent, maintenant je comprends mieux avec l'histoire des status.
Rien que sur ce sujet il y a beaucoup + de communication que sur la plupart des sujets anglophones (allez lire quelques topics pour ceux qui ne l'ont pas fait, c'est marrant).

They reckon 2040 the final block will be mined. I dont see how that is possible.
Super new technologies and more internet users every year as well as more people knowing about mining.
I reckon bitcoin mining will be done by 2025 or so.
Unless i am completely missing alot of facts here...
I personally do not understand block time and all that stuff, but i just guesstimate that as early as 2025 its done.
Thanks for reading and educating me.

Soon or later, regulations will be put in place, but look at the bright side, with regulations people will be less exposed to scammers, and big investors will be "less scared" to invest in Bitcoins. Coinbase asked for a copy of my passport when I signed up with them. If you have nothing to hide and do nothing illegal, it is not a big deal IMO.

Sports handicapping and poker are probably the two legit way to make money while gambling.

I know crap about poker, but have 6 years of experience now in sports betting. I learned the hard way, by losing a lot, but I learned.
Contrary to what many bettors think, bookmakers rarely open a market at the perfect prices for all outcomes possible. Thats why opportunities do exist for sharp punters to make long-term profit.
 If you have a deep look on your favorite sport and all matches already played this year, you will quickly notice that opening odds are very rarely a perfect representation of real chances.
This is also the reason why you will find plenty of bookmakers applying 10% or more margin on their odds, in order to protect themselves from sharp punters, so you need a good bookmaker to start, and grab the opportunities while they are. They usually dont last long.
