thejbs:
I feel that locking the thread on Bitcoin is unfair. It's currently legal to buy/own/use cryptocurrencies and the thread was relatively genial and was an interesting resource. Conversely, RAWK allows threads on IPTV, Kodi, streaming football and torrenting TV/Films/Apps that are of dubious legality or explicitly illegal.
Maybe the thread could be moved out of news/current affairs and into the boozer or tech sections if it's inappropriate for current affairs?

I found it super interesting personally - conman's posts were very detailed and well thought out.
Chakan:
Very odd that “people have lost a whole lot of money on bitcoin” yet there’s a whole sub forum for betting.

I'll respond in detail later.

Not really. I'd bin the betting threads as well if I could. I've seen plenty of people's lives ruined by betting. The difference between gambling and bitcoin is that one is a leisure activity where everyone knows the odds are with the bookies. The other is portrayed as a sure thing - an 'investment that will always grow.
This is a typical claim:

I guess it depends how you view the bitcoin technology though. I mean there is never a sure thing in life ever. You need to consider it like a volatile stock market. Or a bet where the odds can change. People who blindly go into bitcoin deserve to lose money.
Bitcoin has been a leisure activity for me personally , it’s an investment that may or may not pay off, just like my investment ina penny stock.
