Interesting to see what the community thinks of Bitcoin as a payout method strategy. Interesting to explore the opportunities, would love to hear your comments. We're also trying to understand the risk with operating bitcoins. For example, with ACH we can reverse a direct deposit, how...
Betsofbitcoin is a very poor substitute for intrade. I wish they would develop a full trading platform. They could experiment by duplicating the three most popular bets in a prediction market. Other bets probably won't have enough liquidity.
This article is just, plain, silly. The author criticizes Balanced because they don't support Bitcoin? Yea, so, here's the deal -- startups need to make money, not chase down ideological, academic experiments like Bitcoin.As a customer, I can attest that Balanced provides a really, re...

It's good to see open-ended communication. Pragmatically, there's no way to avoid the traditional financial system right now. The danger in this is that fiat-based systems are like a quicksand foundation - the rules can change at any time. By making use of Bitcoin alongside fiat, Bala...
Request for Balanced to support Bitcoin as a payout method
For privacy, Bitcoin relies on "pseudonymity", which means that the only way people can choose not to disclose their identity, is by making it hard to link addresses to people/businesses/.... Publishing an address publicly obviously makes you give up that privacy, but that's not a pro...
