Alleged Bitcoin scam leaves millions missing

[Russian Rocket]

That's not the logic that I've been using at all. Bookmaking or not bookmaking industry - it's not safe to have your money invested in this shit...period. This article gives you a small example onto why it's not safe.

I'm not sure how else I can explain this to ya.

[Russian Rocket]

I suggest you read the name of site and the forums within it before posting.
So what does any of this story have to do with sportsbooks or the gambling industry which this forum is all about?
I opened the thread wondering if there was some connection with a sportsbook or gambling syndicate. But clearly nothing of the sort. Just a lot of silly talk about investment in btc. Find an investment site to ramble on about that.

Oh, and about those personal insults. They say more about you than I and do nothing for your argument.

child you're lost...call your mom from another room and ask her to cut off your internet for today
we've been having discussions about BTC on this forum for months now, while you, the silly kid, all this time were too busy picking boogers out of your nose

like I said earlier, DO come back in this thread ONLY when your IQ hits the room temperature - you're not there yet

I think we are just viewing that article differently. I don't see it as any warning against using Bitcoin. Just that a scam in Hong Kong attracted people with promises of silly returns on their Bitcoin investment scheme. The same way a sports gambling HYIP offers silly returns to attract the greedy/ill-informed/stupid people to that.

And you know these people fall into that group as they are screaming that Hong Kong should ban Bitcoin. God forbid they should take any personal responsibility for for choosing to invest in something that is reported to be have been widely called a scam for a long time. Or stop to wonder why they think something should be banned today that they wanted to be invested in last week.

It may not be safe to invest in, but this article does not prove anything either way in that regard for mine.

Well, that goes without saying that those people are dumbasses.
But when you get this industry regulated (if it ever happens) by some authority, it will be a lot harder to pull a scam like that.
If it happens, you'll only have a limited amount of legit shops, that everyone will know, trust and use...you'll also be able to somehow protect your investment...maybe buy an insurance policy of some sort, I don't know...and that's when it will be OK in my book to start using bitcoin as a service.

This whole bitcoin industry right now reminds me of this Programming Methodology called "Cowboy Coding".
Without a real structured development process, you basically give your Coder/Developer the freedom to do whatever the fk he wants, as long as he completes the project on time. This guy would normally work with minimal process and discipline. He will get the job done, but very few people around him would know how he got it done.

Unfortunately Cowboy coding only works in real life for small projects and only the projects that have an experimental nature.

If Bitcoin industry wants to be taken seriously, then some sort of the regulation processes need to take place. People need to feel safe to put their money into this shit. I personally don't feel safe right now putting my money into BTC even for a day...forget day...even for a minute.

I'd wager I'm old enough to be your grandfather!

Discussions on using btc for moving funds to bookies is a valid subject for this forum.
What you posted and ongoing discussion about the merit of "investing" in it isn't.

I'll let others reading this waste of space of a thread decide who's making the more sense.

if you're old enough to be my grandfather, then stop acting like a little 5 year old girl.
As I've mentioned to you earlier, hundreds of posters here enjoy talking about BTC on this forum...we have numerous threads in PT that cover various BTC related topics.

So let me ask you this...Do you really think we're going to stop talking about bitcoins here, just because today one dumbass who goes by the name Ha-fukkin-reeba! decided that it's time for him to whine and moan about things that he doesn't want to see on this forum?



And just a side note: If you're claiming to be old enough to be our grandfather here...for fukks sake stop saying LOL

I suggest you take a course in reading comprehension.
I've never said not to discuss bitcoins.
But keep it to their relevance and their utility for punting purposes.
If you wish to discuss their merits as an investment go find an appropriate forum. This ain't it.
Is that simple enough for you to comprehend?

is bitcoin doomed?

Hareeba, CLOWN, why do you think that ANYONE, including myself should over sudden follow your rules on what we can or cannot post here? Do you really think that just because your sorry face didn't like the topic of this thread, we would somehow try to cherry pick our posting material going forward to accommodate your needs? I'm literally laughing my ass off right now
I love how you brushed off the fact that I've told you that SBR John was one of the first ones who started to talk here about investing BTC. Do you have your fukking reading goggles on old man? Let me repeat this one more time for you - INVESTING in BTC...not fkn gambling with this shit.

As I've told you before, if you don't like to read this type of threads - don't click on it. If it's still bothers you that much -find another forum. This is not the place where you can act like a fkn BITCH just because you don't like some topics that the rest of us like to post about.

Bitcoin been in a flat range the last 2 weeks

Its not usually like that

So it is safe to say that this time this alleged theft had no ill effect on the price of a bitcoin. Making bitcoins a relatively safe banking method for Americans playing into offshore sportsbooks and this Chicken Little 'the sky is falling' is just internet bluster having no consequences for us sports gamblers.

BTC lost about 30% of its value between Jan 26th and Feb 1st...I'm sure you have a good explanation for that price movement.
And since you're saying that BTCs are relatively safe, I have no doubt that you can explain to the rest of us why BTC should go up, down or stay flat in the near future.

[jjgold]

It seems like the downward movements are much bigger than the upward movements therefore the price gradually keep slipping lower and lower

There you go changing the real point of this narrow subject matter of using bitcoins for offshore banking between gambler and book whereas the ownership of bitcoins is very short in duration, even less than an hour in many cases. I hope you enjoy your trolling.

Trolling? Do you want me to show you the screenshots of BTC graphs that are showing a price drop by 10-15% in the matter of minutes? Are you really that naive or just misinformed?

Read my original post one more time, read the rest of the posts that I've made in this thread and then get back to me.

As I've stated many times here before, I'm neutral when it comes to BTC.
If this shit works for you and you feel safe - I'm happy for you.


and WTF is "relatively safe"? how the fukk do you measure that?

I can't comment on threads I'm not familiar with.
Maybe I even followed your "advice" and didn't open them?

All the abuse making you feel better is it?

Can we get this thread back on topic?

thanks.

I'm a regular bitcoin user and can't understand why more people don't use it as a method for moving funds to/from sportsbooks.

I see alot of fear being spread by the non believers of bitcoin. This thing could go to $10k a coin or it could bust out. No one really knows at this point.

Bitcoin as an investment is as high risk as it gets obviously but with great risk their could be great reward.

"back on topic"?
So which topic might that be mate?

You went on to mention two:
1. the use of bitcoin for moving funds to/from sportsbooks, and
2. the investment merits of bitcoin

May I point out neither of those is what this thread's opening post was about?
So they fail the test of being "on topic".

Of those three separate topics, only one is relevant to this Forum, i.e. yours regarding the use of bitcoin with sportsbooks.

The other two topics which no doubt have interest to some people really have no relevance at all to what this Forum is about.

So, I'll respond to the only item relevant to this Forum (though not to the topic of this thread).

I agree with you that it seems odd that more US players aren't using bitcoin with their sportsbooks. It does seem a perfect solution for those who want to deal with bookies where the use of traditional currencies is rendered difficult and/or expensive.

Personally I don't because a) I'm not in the US, b) I avoid using sportsbooks which service US customers and c) I've never discovered a use for bitcoin which provides me with any advantage over using traditional currency.

let me start with the last question first - Hell NO! I can't stand when grown ass men fkn whine like a 5 year olds

my answer to your last question also applies to the rest of your pathetic questions/remarks that you brought into this thread

if you haven't noticed, there were about 15-20 posters here discussing BTC related topic, all up until you showed up with your fkn gibberish

you made yourself look like a complete egoistic fool and you still continue to do just that...congrats CLOWN!

As an investment, there are 1000000 better choices.
Bitcoin as a tool isn't as risky.
