I picked up a lot during the dip. I have more optimism on this token than any other I hold.  Regardless of any price movement, it's a great concept and great team, so I plan to hodl long term.

This thread has gotten out of control. It's now become a FUD incubator.  CHP is NOT a scam. The people behind it have a large team, have invested millions of their own dollars before the pre-ICO to develop a working product. There are lots of crappy ICOs out there, CHP is not one of them.

*Disclaimer - I don't own any CHP because I can't get money online due to the exchanges not verifying for almost a month now. But if I could, I would invest in the ICO in a heartbeat.  I have played on the software, and as a former professional poker player, I can confirm it's great already and continuing to improve weekly.

I believe it's a legitimate coin and good concept. I think the team is legit (some legitimate names in the poker community supporting it as well), and they have put many resources into software maintenance and development already. Their software is very functional and promising. I recommend downloading it, quite fun (and free currently).

As for their corporate structure, I can't speak with any inside knowledge. Perhaps they set up in a manner to protect themselves, as governments tend to not play nice with the operation of gambling sites (especially ones that accept play from all countries, including USA).  If I were to set up a new site with this agenda, I too would have likely established a high level of anonymity to my corporate structure, otherwise you live under constant govt surveillance and persecution (think Bodog/Bovada/etc).

All in all though, it's good to have diligent watchdogs in the crypto community, and I applaud your efforts here to expose any possible shadiness.

I didn't post this in the marketplace because I didn't want to become inundated with scammers trying to sell me bitcoin. I'm posting this as a simple question without intention of purchase.

How does someone go about purchasing a million USD or more in BTC? (reliably)

I ask because the limits on the exchanges are lower (usually much lower it appears), therefore I would think you'd have to make several smaller purchases over the course of months just for $1M.  But even if that's the case, what about larger amounts like $11M USD?  How did Winklevoss brothers make their purchase years ago?

I also tried localbitcoins.com, but got no results for a $1M inquiry (at least not in the US for USD).

Surely there is a better way? What am I missing?
