A thread like this shouldn't exist because year after year should be awarded to Monero fanboys. They try so hard to sell that as if was the second coming of Christ or Darth Vader. Not to mention that I used to hold the coin and they don't even have a proper wallet, glad I got out. Plus there's a huge project with a very similar name in the same industry basically, Moneero.

Evidentemente no es tan simple como pretendes o como lo expones. Justamente para saber cuando es "barato" tienes que adentrarte demasiado en el mundo del trading y manejar conceptos y conocimientos a la perfección si no quieres perder dinero. Y lo que es peor, Bitcoin es un mercado mucho más complejo de predecir que el de valores así que muchas de las teorías al final no se cristalizan.

Clinton will win, but odds are not very enticing for me, plus I don't particularly like to bet on things that run a lot of time, like championships/titles or similar, there's just too many variables involved down the line.

GSW will have Curry back most likely, this doesn't guarantee anything but I don't think they will lose at home today. As for Cleveland, they will most definitely beat the Magic @ The Q but an interesting bet is OVER 194.5 pts. I think the odds were around 2.2 for that one...

It looks fine to me right now, did you do any recent changes from the first original post?

Unless there is someone here who've worked or lived in China I don't think we don't know just how Bitcoin is a risk or something useful. Hopefully Uphold can work and start introducing BTC to more chinese people but I doubt the government will make that easy.

Exactly, plus consider your money gone the minute you bet it. I'm a very casual gambler but that's my advise, have some fun and "pay" for entertainment. You may even win some of the time!

I understand the concept he's trying to explain but maybe un 10-15 years governments would be much more tolerant of new technologies. One could've said the same thing about the internet in the 90s and governments for the most part couldn't control it because unless one lives in a dictatorship, governments are comprised of people.

Not sure if it's the best of times to buy but if you wait you may never see this price again. Definitely go for it if drops below $400 in the next weeks (I doubt it).

Exactly, I don't really understand how many prefer to leave huge amounts of BTC in exchanges. I mean I understand you set a price and forget about it (either for buying or selling) but you are definitely at risk. Poloniex seems the best option from what I've heard. Does anybody knows exactly HOW much expensive Shapeshift is compared to other exchanges? I know how it works, it takes the value from other exchanges and takes a cut, but I've always wondered how much is the price difference between using Poloniex for example or Shapeshift.

I strongly recommend Directbet, I've used a lot and I've never had any problems with them, the support is fast too. The site design and UI is a little dated but it works.

I agree. I guess altcoins are inevitable and could be needed as a viable alternative, but they are actually not needed at all, it's just all BS, a bunch of nerds coming up with slightly different and "better" ways of doing things that no one cares about. Hell, people don't really need or use Bitcoin itself so go figure.

The only altcoin I was aware of before I got into Bitcoin was Litecoin, Doge was also in my radar but I couldn't really explain or care about what they were, just digital money or tokens you could exchange.

I've really prefer to use Shapeshift for many of small transactions than to trust an account with my money and details. I know it's more expensive, but it's quick and on the fly. So to answer your question, it's 0 since the amount is never actually deposited in any exchange.

I think since I signed up on this forum some months ago all I've ever read about Cryptsy is completely negative and scam related. I've never tried their service of course and I'm amazed how they are still functioning taken into consideration the amount of negative attention and publicity.

I think that if all remains the same, the price SHOULD go up, that's a fact since mining won't be as profitable therefore less BTC will be available every day that passes. However in these types of periods is where we will see if Bitcoin has actual demand and if a price of close to $1000 or more would be viable and not ridiculous. If it is, then the sky is the limit since there's a fixed amount of BTC so all our dreams will come true, value will continue to rise. The problem I see is that Bitcoin it is still just and investment, no common person needs it for anything and it's still far too complicated to be adopted by common folks, so I don't think demand will be huge after the halving if Bitcoin development can't evolve.

Exactly, what's the point really to sell a "vintage" account? No one answered my question, what's the value of an old account with no potencial activity? Maybe I'm missing something here or perhaps the forum will give some kind of bonus in the future for "founding" members?

Interesting, I don't like how they play and they are always inconsistent but I think they will handle the Knicks just fine today so I agree it's a safe bet. I will sit out today since no particular game entices me. The Warriors won me some money yesterday already so I should not become too greedy hehe.

I get what you're saying. Money shouldn't be everything in gambling because you can lose your cool very easy. To me it's all about having fun and get entertained for a while, I'm a casual gambler so I don't take it seriously at all. And if you follow my advise you should also consider your money already gone before you decide to bet it. If you adhere to these rules you will always have fun and some days you may even win some money!

Bitcoin market it's still vulnerable to p&d schemes, of course manipulators will need deep pockets bit it's definitely possible and it still happens so your theory it's not crazy. Just think about how easy it is to manipulate the altcoin market, that's a smaller scale but it's the same game.

Lol hehe, well I will think about it tomorrow, I'm not really in the best state right now. I understand though and that address does have some value, but sometimes it's hard to find a buyer.
