Which game you played when you earned most of money?

Poker because i've played for years and have an edge.  Im actually up lifetime in dice though overall - lucky me.  Sports im probably down and same with casino IRL.

i doubt that this can happen because of two things.
coins with big market cap such as ethereum can not be created every day and be a successful manipulation to keep it up.
and coins that are good enough to go to high prices have not yet happened. and i don't see any of these two change in only 2 years to take up such a big portion (75% of market cap) out of bitcoin's hands.

Only way i see it happening in 2 years would be a country or 2 creating their own crypto and somehow it counts as a decentralized version where worldwide folk are just as welcome to adopt it.

Manchester United vs Wigan
i think manchester united can easy to win if play use full team not play use reserve team , bench team, same play liverpool use 9 reserve player
i think manchester united can lost

I think Manchester United will make some changes to the starting eleven to give a chance to other players to show off their performance. England has a bunch of competitions and if a team like Manchester United didn't make some rotations, it could give a bad impact to their overall performance at every competitions. Some regular players will be rested I guess. 

Unlike liverpool united actually have quite a few different options on the bench that dont weaken thier starting 11 too much.  I dont even think mourinho knows his best 11 yet.

Sounds like major specualtion by him and it could still be number 1 with 25%.  Alts continue to be born daily and they eat up some of the %.  The important thing is the price in this context anyway.

I think that you must offer a collateral for that because you are beginner here and you want exchange your money but you have only 1 post here.That is not a good way to ask for exchange.

Not really, 1.) paypal has chargeback and 2.) he could send first to a trusted seller if needed.
1766  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: what happened to Huobi? on: January 27, 2017, 06:45:27 PM

Its not just bitcoinwisdom not picking them up, they also aren't on bitcoinity any longer.  Thinking the biggest volume was happening at OKcoin anyway.

Has Okcoin added fees to all trades in their exchange yet? Maybe the reason theyre still there is because it was only Huobi that added fees and has stopped all the fake trades. If Okcoin gets rid of all the fake trades maybe their volume would be so much lower. I suspect that BTCC really has the highest volume in China.

I think the traders all over like OKcoin more vs BTCC, maybe BTCC has more actual volume coming from inside china.  Either way its pretty close if you check bitcoinity.

I think that usually a guy which play games for a long time, risk to became a gambler addicted. Which method you use for stop plaiyng when you understand that you are near to became addicted?
 

Length of playing, type of game they are playing, how they dress and present themselves, do they always carry around lots of fiat notes (if IRL), how much money they have total. Those kinda things.
1768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 26, 2017, 08:01:24 PM
Premier League standing after 22 matches:

1)Chelsea        55
2)Arsenal         47
3)Tottenham    46
4)Liverpool       45
5)Manc. City     43
6)Manc. United  41



I still like united to finish strong out of those teams, i would put them in top 4.  Other shock could be tottenham who could win the league easy.
1769  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house? on: January 26, 2017, 10:32:12 AM
Definitely yes, owning a house is one important thing when you decided to have your own family. Maybe in the near future bitcoin can be use to directly buy a house even noy converting into fiat.

As a man, it should be your priority. Sooner or later you will have a family so you really need it. Even if it costs you 90% or all your bitcoin. If you spotted a house for sale and you can afford it, then go for it, don't hesitate. That is a very nice gift you could keep for yourself and soon for your family. If you could buy it with bitcoin that's good, or if cash out from bitcoin, it's just fine.

As a man or woman though right? i only like putting in 90% if the BTC price was incredibly high and the housing market was reasonable or a house you like was a decent price.

1771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale Basketball Betting System on: January 25, 2017, 10:10:39 AM
I dont think martingale method would be ideal to use on sports betting since its not really the same as dice.For me i dont think it would be effective but if its works for OP then its really great. Lets say you lose the first bet and now you lose the 2nd one and so on,i dont think it would work but such a waste of time.Better to play according on your analysis on each team.

If +ev its fine, its not the most effective strategy though.  You'd end up not using your time and bankroll the best ways possible.  For a bit of fun i like it though and have done something similar before.

What happen with BPL referee?

Enough is enough now. These refs cannot do their job. I cannot believe how poor the quality of refereeing has been recently. It's like they've all been paid off to make these huge mistakes. It's time for technology, no doubt about it. Football is so far behind every other sport when it comes to technology it's beyond a joke. We have the technology to sort these mistakes, and we need to use it. The refs cannot do their job well enough.

They need to change the rules for video replay on decisions like in rugby.  Rugby never lost any popularity because of video replaying everything.  False offsides decisions are as crazy as balls over line which weren't given before goal line tech came in.
1773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do America and England follow bitcoin? on: January 23, 2017, 05:49:30 PM
It is said that strong states in cyberspace such as the USA and England are following the bitcoin. Is this true?

Smart tech people know BTC over here in UK.  The news will always have stories providing there is something worth talking about, mostly price going up though like all media.
1774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Klitschko vs Josua Info and predictions on: January 23, 2017, 05:43:37 PM

AJ is not ready for this type of challenge i'd get my money on Klitschko.  Tyson fury is a freak of nature and had the strategy to unsettle Klitschko.  AJ hasn't had 1 big test as of yet and is young.
Even that is what i think Josua is still raw and the fight against Klitschko will be a big step in his career and if he is able to defeat the great Wladimir Klitschko then it will be a shinning feature in his career.We are yet to see more super powers when it comes to boxing in this day and age and MMA has taken over boxing in my opinion.

There is much on the line for Klitschko, if he loses this it will effect how he is remember in history.  I would not rule the old dog out, he is in good shape and will have more knowledge how to train himself right for this fight vs AJ.  The fury fight was a freak, fury is a freak. Value is with betting on Klitch imo.
A loss in his 40s does not determine the legacy of Wladimir Klitschko,take a look at his record 68 fights and 53 wins by KO and just 4 loses and you still do not see this as a legendary career even if he loses now against Josua that does not mean the Klitschko will be remembered differently .The odds are against Klitschko but i do think that the experience will win in the end.It all depends upon the conditioning he is having at the moment.

Hes still in good shape even though 40s, its old but boxers have done well before this age.  If he loses he has to retire, if he wins he could fight again for another payday.
1775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to create own bitcoin gambling site? on: January 23, 2017, 05:25:10 PM

You could look into buying an already working site OP, it will proably cost you the same and you might even have some instant revenue.  If you think you could do a good job in promoting the site then that could be your edge.
1776  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there any possibility of a decrease in demand for Bitcoin? on: January 21, 2017, 12:11:55 PM
People think that Bitcoin will be valued more in the future. So they are both mining and buying bitcoin.

Is there any possibility of a decrease in demand for Bitcoin? Whatever happens, people give up using bitcoin.

It depends what bitcoin is imo.  Currently its a awkward thing for people who have avergage  and above tech skills.  The demand is coming from people who can currently manage what it is.  If BTC can change to something everyone can use then demand would go up, who knows what will happen.
1777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Goal to 100 BTC before the end of 2017 - Public LOG. on: January 21, 2017, 10:41:54 AM
Good luck OP.  What i think what might hinder your speed will be in order to be safe with time spent you will need to cash out some profit.  Cashed out profit means you make money slower.  Example, i cant imagine you keeping 30-40 btc on an exchange when you get to that stage.
1778  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: How would buying property play out with crypto? on: January 21, 2017, 10:38:56 AM

How would buying property play out with crypto? as in would you need a specialist crypto lawyer to complete the transaction? what if the person you buy property from is terrible on secuirty and 1 day later they get hacked can they come after you saying you sent them fake payment or some BS..

You don't need a "special  lawyer", but you need a notary to confirm the deal. When everything is signed nobody can come after you, because you have the transaction ID and the other person's wallet is included in the documents you both and the notary signed, which means you both agreed to all terms. If the document said you are buying that property for a gold ring and he later lost it or it got stolen from him, do you think he'd be able to sue you?

Problem is the person you are buying from needs to be able to set up a wallet themselves, not many people understand how to do it right now.  What could solve the issue would be if some of the online estate agents started using coinbase or bitpay etc to process the transaction and seller gets fiat without even needing to know about the BTC part.

Purchasing real property with crypto-currency is possible and legal.
At the time of property purchase, the bitcoin will be converted into fiat for government records.
Taxes and any other fees will need to be paid in fiat as normally, on that converted amount.
Also, when a bitcoin-holder converts to fiat for the property purchase, they will need to pay taxes
on any gains from those bitcoin the purchaser is using. (Since btc can be capital gains.)

In theory you do not need a special crypto lawyer for this, if the buyer and seller both agree on buy/sell
with crypto-currency. But, it would be smart to follow normal standards and have an independent escrow
agent hold your coins and transfer them to the property seller after everything checks out, to alleviate
any complications. (Maybe a crypto-lawyer could perform the escrow.)

In short, do everything you would do normally, but substitute for bitcoin converted into fiat.

EDIT: This is not legal advice nor a legal opinion and the OP is aware that they should seek council with
a licensed attorney within their jurisdiction, prior to taking any action.

Yeah it does just seem like an extra hassle atm, its really frustrating there isn't a service set up to deal with this.  So that seller (who probably doesn't understand crypto) gets cash and you just pay service BTC and its all legit, no scam crap etc.
Thanks for info

Can anyone from BTCC explain why the Chinese government simply do not ban Bitcoin? What possible purpose does it serve to allow exchanges and miners to continue doing business in China?

They didn't totally ban the internet, they just heavily control it. Probably lining up the same ethos with BTC.  Good to see interview in in english kinda thought it would be in chinese.
