Am sure I am not the only one, who is feeling left out.
I would like to own some Bitcoin, but, its v v hard to pull the trigger, and buy them, when, they were a great deal cheaper last week/mth/yr.
Its possible I will bite the bullet, and commit a regular monthly sum .. so, that way, I can average in etc.
Am sure people will say, the boat hasnt yet sailed .. and thats possible. Am wondering, if the price rise, isnt a factor, or just scarcity/lack of a medium, to short. When/if, an ETF is established, and u can buy/sell an index of crypto, the price maybe, will stabilise.
What price BTC will be, when that happens, is v tough to fathom.
I can see the logic for check/check on the flop.
In the moment, I might not – but, we have Ad, and Ah is out there, so, it does limit, A combos, which he can have.
If a blank .. like say 7c, comes on turn, If he bets, are we just calling, or raising ? Maybe a mixture ?
Hi Brad,
Crypto currency is a v emotive topic, and can get v heated, as a lot of people have vested interests.
I have looked from the sidelines, and .. like yourself, have been trying to get up to speed. From various links, I have listened/read to a ton of stuff, and have a little more knowledge. The problem is, the clever people, who talk on podcasts, give u a fairly one-sided view. There are few nay-sayers, who can do this, so, u end up convinced you should be exposed to crypto currency.
A lot of the initial youtube channels, seemed to be issuing less and less content. In the early days, there were many, but, unless u have a lot of computer knowledge, its easy to get lost.
Anyway, here are some v decent links/content.
“Banking on Bitcoin” by director Christopher Cannucciari – documentary on Netflix
I found a link on youtube – maybe it wont last long :

The Tom Ferris interview, with Nick Szabo, is 2 hrs or so, but, its clear, the panel know their stuff. Nick’s blog http://unenumerated.blogspot.co.za/ has some great content, but, its 6 mths since he last posted.
These guys, posts content more often, as is pretty balanced.

I initially thought it all a scam / bubble, but, once you develop more knowledge, you can understand the arguments, that a decentralised currency has a future.
I own .1 of a Bitcoin. I tried using it for gambling websites, but, am largely blocked from using it, in the UK. More exchanges are being built in Malta, and thats where I see myself using it .. so, will probably buy more Bitcoin, in the next yr or so.
