But in the next 24-36 months, bitcoin is somewhere between 10k-50k. It simply has to be. The scale at which the entities getting involved now operate scale wise, bitcoin will be forced there. And 17 year olds that mined this useless Internet money will have their minds blown.
Ah, the forced $50,000 per Bitcoin in 2017. Let's see what this means. If miners decide to sell all their mined Bitcoins, (or 50%), this is how much daily fresh money is needed on the exchanges for the price to be stable: 2014-2016 : $180 million ($90 million daily if 50% sold) 2017-2020: $90 million ($45 million daily) <--- look here 2021-2024: $45 million ($22 million daily) etc. Don't forget that they have to sell to cover their electricity costs. So, if Bitcoin is $50,000 in 2017, good luck in finding that daily fifty million dollars. The US National Debt has continued to increase an average of $2.49 billion per day since sept 30 2012... good luck in finding that too  edit: http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ |

Gambling is a very powerful and widespread human emotion and disorder to take advantage of. There is a huge market to be filled for services that fulfull the need of gambling, like poker, and bitcoin. These are more related than you think. It is 90% of the reason why bitcoin is so successful today. If I had to classify the majority of commerce and activities done in bitcoin as an industry, it would be the gambling industry.

Economics and trading are two different things, Junior. The fact that you consider it play money may be why you have less than a quarter of your original stack. Hope you enjoy that DD2 memory. Your brain memory isn't apparently doing you much good.
: ) well said... play money... jesus ..move on |

Thats very true. If somehow someday a PokerStars would accept bitcoin it would be enormous, especially for US citizens. |

That is nice to hear. I am pretty sure when I am at your age I will be sitting on an internet forum arguing with someone 20 years younger than him about how much money you have made. No maybe not , but I get the feeling you will be arguing some stupid point of view with someone... good luck with that. |

How? It's made some individuals wealthy, but only because other individuals have put money in, and those individuals are reliant on other new individuals putting money in to make their own returns. Bitcoin does not create money, it just moves it around. Only governments create money.
I never said that Bitcoin created money, it creates wealth. In people's mind, these 12,000,000 bitcoins are pretty well worth 10b$ , the money doesn't have to show up for this to be true, but the wealth is there in the bitcoins themselves. |

Ye except poker is a job for a decent chunk of people playing on these sites. I myself have friends who were forced to move outside of US just to continue playing.
Yeah, I didn't want to be rude to these guys; entertainment and online games are jobs like any others. I just wanted to emphasise the fact that there is a big creation of wealth with bitcoin that other activities don't provide. plus i wouldnt want to mess with all the silicon valley VCs which are investing more and more money into Bitcoin landscape. Poker sites are just irrelevant. Its a game, not a technology. A multi billion dollar game, I think you are vastly underestimating the money that was in poker. With more interest than btc, a game senators play, a game americans play as children around the kitchen table....and still they banned it. It didn't matter that they could have made a killing taxing it. They saw danger for the US public, associations with crime - and they closed it down. What do you think would happen if just one trusted entity (amazon, google, UK financial sector) introduced their own coin with none of the connotations with crime, better security and able to be fully compliant with current money laundering regs? Anyway I'll stop now, I just wanted to discuss it, not talk myself out of it  |

There is a CoinDesk article here http://www.coindesk.com/btc-china-accepting-bank-deposits/"Prominent Chinese bitcoin exchange BTC China is now accepting customer deposits via its corporate bank account, plus offering small prizes to its customers." (introducing this right before the Chinese new year seems a bit risky and provocative to me tbh) |

you are right ! if btc gets some chunk in the online gambling/sports betting industry we are talking about billions of $. and now add the online porn industry as i just mentioned in another thread, nerds could literally gamble & wank up the bitcoin price in the future ! only drugs are left out of the evil profitable three. edit: typo |

Just been catching up on the last few pages. Some interesting posts...esp. the fact that a lot of the 'greyer' users here seem to be a lot more optimistic of bitcoins future. (and btw I'm greyer than most of them). I actually think the young uns view of crypto as 'play money' is quite healthy...[paraphrase the obvious quote from Kipling here]. With regard to gambling and porn, I'd like to point out that both of these 'vices' bring huge social problems and that both have been at the cutting edge of instigating new technologies on the interweb...indeed, the porn industry has been the vanguard for innovation from pay walls to trackers. Anyway, time for bed here. have fun boys  |

So, if Bitcoin is $50,000 in 2017, good luck in finding that daily fifty million dollars. It's an interesting point. But then, at 50,000 a coin, with around 15,000,000 coins in distribution (for the sake of argument), that gives a market cap roughly equivalent to the annual GDP of Benin or Moldova. IF (and that's a big IF) Bitcoin does start really taking off worldwide, then 50m p/d is nothing. Forex sees around $5 trillion traded a day - around 0.2% of the daily Bitcoin USD trading volume in mid-Jan. I know, I know. These numbers aren't direct comparisons, but it helps to put these big numbers in perspective now and again. |

the question is: Will the Chinese dump all their money into the market before its illegal or will they pump out all their money that is left. Question of if its going to a big rise or a big fall. Their volume hasn't increased since yesterday, I'd stay at Huobi if I was Chinese. I really wish I could trade at Huobi |
