I have been thinking of shorting AMZN hard. This news might be just the ticket.

I wouldn't doubt Tony, homie. He's a business genius, even by Harvard grad standards and he is exactly what all of these other phonies in the Pacific Northwest claim to be: a disrupter. Amazon's reimagining of distribution was a big part of Hsieh's strides with Zappos.
I don't like the idea of socializing the workplace and I would never work at a company that plays guinea pig by trying to eliminate meritocracies or eliminate any structural acknowledgement of superiority. However, there are a lot of young, utopian people in SF and Seattle who will.
Does anyone know how long it typically takes for a bitcoin deposit to complete onto Bovada?
I just opened a wallet and this is literally my first experience ever with Bitcoin. Its been about 15 minutes since the deposit was supposedly initiated, but nothing yet...and I don't even see a pending transaction in my bovada account or anything (but i dont know, maybe that is normal?)
it can take 1-2 minutes, sometimes 5-10 minutes. can't remember or sure, but it may have taken an hour once.Quote:

I just got back home and checked again - It finally went through. I thought at first I did something wrong. It took alot longer than what seems to be the norm - hopefully that was just a fluke or something.
Most of the time they take mins , only time they have taken longer for me is on some sportsbooks that wait for the 5 blockchain confirmations or whatever so max I have waited is a couple of hoursQuote:

What do you recommend for a good wallet? like i said, im very inexperienced with any cryptocoin. I initially downloaded Electrum on my laptop, but when I was messing around on my phone I ended up depositing from my debit card onto Coinbase to use the exchange. Originally I was on Gdax and to be honest im not sure why I ended up starting my wallet on Coinbase other than the fact that they are apparently connected. I ultimately used my Coinbase wallet to deposit onto Bovada after I bought the Bitcoin from their exchange, but ive been hearing that Coinbase is not a good route to go?
So, next time should I buy my Bitcoin on an exchange like Coinbase and then send it to Electrum wallet?
Im sorry if I sound stupid with this...I wish I would have dove into this much sooner.

Never used Electrum so cannot comment on that and have not bought much bitcoin from the exchanges.
But in general most people say before you move money to a sportsbook or poker site you should move the bitcoin from wherever you are holding it then move it thru a wallet on blockchain.info (free to join) then just fire it to the sportsbook etc...
And when you cash out , you should move it to your blockchain wallet before you move it to an exchange to cashout.
So more or less, before it hits the sports site have it go thru blockchain and when it comes out have it hit blockchain then send it wherever
As far as cashing out on like coinbase or any of the exchanges I have dealt with they GOUGE YOU HARD on fees. Best thing to do is get a bitpay card. Then you can just move your coin from blockchain to there and you will only pay atm fees. Or if your going to cashout just try and sell it to someone like me or druff or anyone who wants bitcoin because you pay no fees that way to the exchanges.
If you have a GDAX account you should definitely be using that account for deposits and withdrawals rather than Coinbase.Quote:

GDAX is owned and operated by Coinbase but their fees are much lower than the fees on Coinbase.
Make sure when you deposit and withdraw from Bovada you move your Bitcoin to a wallet because Coinbase is very strict when it comes to online gambling. I accidentally deposited to Ignition directly from my Coinbase account and it didn't get flagged but I've heard a lot of people have gotten their Coinbase accounts locked for doing this.
I use the free Blockchain wallet but there are several others that work well.
Beer and Poker:
That Walton coin WTC is flying high
See what I did there
OKcoin users are reporting that randoms are logging into their accounts and emptying their wallets.
OKcoin is basically insisting they arent hacked and its not their concern.
Given that 2.5m USD worth of coins are now in the wind, these dont seem like the types of people who are going to use easily guessable passwords or fall for the usual nonsense.
$5100 now
$6k coming next

Now if those X2 coins sit around $200-$500 as predicted you are factoring that into the cost of a BTC at the moment. So actual BTC price would currently be 4700ish, not bad either.
So... will it hit $6k, not in short term I don't think, when the free coins are given price will settle back, if fork occurs. btw if the fork happens it could be ugly.
Might even happen tonight it's already in the $5840 rangeQuote:

Tine makes a valid point, and it's not the forst tome he's done so. Something that in principle is worth an increasing market value isn't without risk if random owners are victims of having it stolen at an increasing clip. And the more valuable bitcoin becomes, the greater the incentive hackers have to figure out ways to steal them. And because those folks aren't likely to perpetually hold hands and sing Kumbuya in their efforts to cash in on such theivery, it is possible that competitive pressure among digital currency hackers could result in a singularity-type event that breaks the security of digital currencies. That, from what I've read from Tine's repeated warnings about bitcoin, is the underlying "dowkdown" risk that dig-currency enthusiasts may be underestimating. Amirite, Tineyman?
Just think...
Years from now we could be sitting over a drink and reminiscing ( and maybe some of us kicking ourselves) on how back in the day, Bitcoin was "only" at around $5700...and why we didn't get in on it. Just like (I can obv guarantee you) some people are doing right now when it was much much less than it is at the present time.
Or...
we will be patting ourselves on the back on not pulling the trigger and investing our life savings (like some people currently are) in "a shitty fraudulent currency" as we will call it, that was destined to fail.
No matter WHAT happens, we will all think, laugh, cry, or whatever, about that one time that a PFA member made a thread when the price was around $112, that Bitcoins were Officially Donkdown.
$6000. Krypt is still scratching his head wondering what went wrong.
LOVE THE HAIR
I got an email today from Coinbase alerting me to an upcoming Bitcoin fork event. Anyone care to explain? The email said after the event I'll have 5 Bitcoin and 5 Bitcoin2x.
While we are on the subject, can anyone speak on the Russia v China btc beef?
Saw some $6700 today. Might see $8500 before the next fork in a few weeks.
20k I am almost certain at some point but leaning more towards triple that

I mean, i dont know everything about the fork myself, but its a liiiittle different story seeing as how i currently only have about $100 in bitcoin, so im naturally not too worried about it at this juncture.

What your email actually said was "If you have 5 Bitcoin stored on Coinbase before the fork, you will have 5 Bitcoin and 5 Bitcoin2x following the event."Quote:

Now if during a crisis you HAVE tons of cash, its king buy up all the lows but in terms of stores of value, sorry not BTC.
The biggest winners with Bitcoin are most certainly those who have been blissfully unaware or simply forgot about their holdings.Quote:

Believe what you want. I was given free Bitcoin by Micon back in the day. I invested about $200. I played on SWC. I've cashed out close to $14,000. I don't have 5 Bitcoin, I actually have almost 3. I'm in it for the long haul and honest to God pay almost zero attention. Im confused by the fork. Say I have 3, it forks and I now have 3 and 3. I assume each is worth 1/2 as much so really my value is the same?Quote:

Pretty much this but it probably won't be 50/50 more likely 80/20.Quote:
