Right, so since we're on topic how many gun related deaths happen in US and how many in France?
Banning cars could markedly reduce the incidence of death by vehicle. But beware, someone might still be able to buy a multi-tonne missile (car) on the black market tho.
Personal liberty and responsibility has its blood price. Same for the lack thereof.
Especially when you are 3 years old and your 5 year old brother blows your head off because he found Dad's loaded handgun in the bedside table.
With firearms it is often the innocent that pay the price for other's lack of responsibility.
"Oh you're a gun owner? Some kids accidentally kill themselves with guns. Why would you let them do that? You don't hate children, do you?!"
FML I was this close to getting out at $780. But noooo, I had to be at work on Friday only to find out after I get home the price had plummeted below $700. This action is like a sick joke, taunting me. Oh well, I waited a few years, what's another few weeks (assuming the halvening affects the price positively)?
You're delusional if you believe of a rapid price change on the day of the halvening
Not at all, just having to change back from excited to patience-mode.

I'm rather annoyed. I was planning on selling some after I got home from work, as it was $740 all day. Felt pretty good about that price, then I get home and load up my wallet... nevermind. Guess I'll wait til the dust settles!

I wanted to sell a few to pay for some stuff for my house, and I was willing to liquidate if we hit $500. Now we're down at $370ish... Guess my back patio can wait

My dollar cost average is about $430, so I'd lose a substantial amount of the money I've put in. $200's is nice to pick up a few more but I need to save USD right now for moving/new job/house and all that jazz.
Playing 3 seats at a time, using basic BlackJack strategy (chart on the previous page). What I've been doing with my betting is like so. In the middle seat, I'll bet X amount of mBtc. The outside hands will be 3/4X and 1/4X like so:
I don't have a very good reason for doing so, only that it has been working well for me.

Just made another 1BTC in 97 hands
Interesting piece of information: the beginning downtrend, I literally lost 13 hands in a row at one seat. That's the longest losing streak I've seen in over 2,000 hands.

Re: So I turned 1 BTC into 6.9 playing blackjack on Betchain
why betchain? Is there something different with them?
I actually saw an ad for them on the Bitcoin Black Friday site a few months back, and I checked them out. I read all about provably fair gaming, which made me feel pretty comfortable with gambling there.

After tracking my hands and my balance, I decided to graph it. I played pretty sloppy today, honestly. I started out great, then tilted for a while and clawed my way back into the green. Should've cashed out at 1BTC profit, once I got over 3000mBTC I just started betting the difference and ended up falling back to 3000mBTC even. Anyway, here's the graph and my deposits page.
Are you playing basic strategy?
Yes. I just started playing their new Blackjack Surrender yesterday, so I implemented the MIT blackjack team strategy chart below:
