Well.. he is a bit of a gambler: http://www.casinonewsdaily.com/2016...mbling-growth-didi-taihuttu-playgrand-casino/ And it looks like he gets pretty horny on all the media attention... if you look at his past, he's been on different tv interview regarding lots of other issues.
Absolutely incredible... "In what countries do you operate? The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, all over the world. Our primary market is the UK. The Norwegian market is also very good at the moment. We’ve just went live with our Norwegian and Swedish versions. We are also planning to go live with German language in April. And after that, we will go live with more languages if needed. "
The guy who said chances of going up are ( a bit less than 50.50 I think he wrote ) may be right , but as we've seen the upside potential is over 100% ( it could easily triple etc , but you can only lose 100% once , so as long as volatility continues as per last year or so , ( assuming 50.50 probability of up or down) makes Bitcoin a very good investment .
I'm more than 4 years in this Bitcoin-scene, and know quite a few (including myself) who care for other reasons. I will take your bet with pleasure! PM me your conditions and escrow service. Put your money were your mouth is. (By the way: I'm Dutch and yes we like flowers).
Why else would they do it Einstein? What you're really saying is that you hope a bunch of people lose all their money on tanking bitcoin value. I hope that guy that bet his house walks away with millions and gives a big 'F*** you' to all the losers that are sour about missing out on bitcoin.
I wonder if original bitcoin will become rather like the penny black, gaining a sort of value in antiquity,did someone say only 2.1 million , well if crypto currencies take off the originals could have some sort of collectors value , I know I would rather be long than short.
Just scanned through old 2014 posts of Peilthetraveler. And found he was more or less pro-Bitcoin and bought through Coinbase some coins...... My guess (but can be wrong) is that he didn't do that for the right reasons, burned his fingers in the down years 2015/2016, and missed the whole run up from $200 to $5000 now...... I can imagine his feelings right now (and wanting the price back to $500 to get a second chance).
Jamie Dipshit maybe right and it is crapto , but you can still exchange this crap for $5000 today in cash , no if's or buts , so if you'd seen it coming you could exit today for hard cash.
See my posts of 2013/2014: I did see $7000 coming, so will hodl a bit longer (can take until the year 2020, but might be much earlier...).
