Coindesk Explains Huge Potential in Gambling & Cryptos Coindesk: National Economics, Gambling and Cryptocurrency: A Perfect Storm?While gambling with cryptocurrencies has been around since the early days of bitcoin (and is expected to grow strongly as customers get more comfortable with the concept), an interesting twist appears to be emerging from platform tokens.
Combine these trends with national legislation and economic strategy, and you begin to see a fundamental shift that has the potential to transform a massive segment of the leisure economy. eSports betting platform Unikrn got an online gambling license from Malta. This enables it to offer real-money betting to most of Europe, and token-based betting to the rest.
What makes this noteworthy is the platform’s new crypto token. A couple of years ago, the company created a platform-only digital token to enable users to place bets on the outcomes of games such as League of Legends. The new version, however, will run on the ethereum blockchain.
This means that it can be traded between players, sold on an exchange and converted to fiat money in many jurisdictions. It also points to the emergence of a community of developers that in theory could extend its utility by creating additional apps and add-ons. (This is similar to what we can do.) While this is interesting for eSports betting sites such as Unikrn, it could be especially compelling for other cryptocurrency startups. The above was added to the OP.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Prince Alwaleed says bitcoin will implode: 'Enron in the making' https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/23/prince-alwaleed-says-bitcoin-will-implode-enron-in-the-making.html"It just doesn't make sense. This thing is not regulated, it's not under control, it's not under the supervision" of any central bank, Alwaleed says. Bitcoin has surged about 500 percent this year. Aren’t those the reasons why people love Bitcoin?: Not regulated, not under control, not under supervision of any central bank. Somebody needs to challenge him to a bet.

ventefruss, Unfortunately, you got a very negative critique of your translation from a Bitcointalk user. Did you use a software translator like Google? Also, as mentioned a few times, we need the Bitcointalk announcements translated first and posted. I'm not sure why you haven't done that. Nevertheless, hold off on this until we determine if your translations are usable. Thanks.

Bitcoin had 4 bubbles. The last was in 2013. Bitcoin is not a classic bubble, but still be 'suspicious,' says investing expert William Bernstein https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/24/william-bernstein-bitcoin-is-not-a-classic-bubble.html- William Bernstein is a neurologist who became a best-selling author on investing in the 1990s.
- Bernstein does not believe bitcoin is a classic investing bubble because it doesn't fit all four of the criteria of manias he developed.
- "Unless [you are] an expert on blockchain technology and bitcoin, stay away. Don't invest in things [you] don't understand," Bernstein told CNBC.
Do you think we’re in the 5th bubble? Make your bet: https://stockbet.com/#/BullBear/round/17971
