CLOSED - Predict the value of Bitcoin to win up to $250 weekly at Slotland & Winaday (US OK)

No worries there, Joe. Just to point out that Simple222 beat you to it, guessing the same thing before you did. And by how things look at the moment, you THREE are quite close --

BUT at the same time we all know that literally ANYTHING can happen before midnight falls upon us, right?

Welcome to the forum thread, Amy. If you try being just a TAD more specific, perhaps I or any seasoned forum member can help you out

Hey there Drjugz, It's me talaverajl aka Jorge or George. I'm sorry to read about your brain tumor.  I would like to share some information with you and anyone facing similar health issues about  alternative methods of care to traditional methods of modern medicine ...ie chemo and radiation.

I am by no means a Dr. Or specialist or have I any medical training. But watching a loved one go through the the hell of colon cancer at the age of 20  has prompted me to learn as much as I can about the treatments. 

I'll try to provide as many web- links as possible with info.

What the...

FOURTEEN THOUSAND WHAT?!

And every month my dumba$$ just buys them and GIVES THEM AWAY.

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!

WoW !!!  I keep thinking it is going to slow down and I thought for sure this would be my closest week but daaang 2 grand off.  

 i cant believe the price was so high, 14,375. Glad no one pulled the classic price is right move and bid a dollar over my guess. i looked on coinbase a few days ago and thought i wouldnt .even have a chance at winning. Even though i was still 1476 away i was still the closest.  WOO HOO

Way to Go Rusty....Congrats.

Hey everyone,

Another Wednesday has passed and that means that another batch of winners of our BTC value predicting contest emerged. Small recap of what this round was all about --

During the whole last calendar week, ranging Monday Nov 27 through the end of Sunday, DEC 3 (23:59 EST), you had to estimate a FUTURE value of Bitcoin on this past Wednesday's midnight, i.e. 23:59 EST, DEC 6.

Checking on Coinbase charts page, it looks like the ghost you were chasing this time amounted to a whopping $14,334!!

Yes, boyz and galz! This means that only since last Wednesday Bitcoin has grown in value by not so shabby $3,657, or in other words spiking by truly massive 34 % just over just week's time. Not bad at all if you ask me. Most of that increase imho goes on account of the launch of Bitcoin futures scheduled for this Sunday, so I think we might not be done yet heading north.

BUT what happens then is a real mystery even to seasoned Wall Street wolves with pockets deep enough to manipulate even pricier assets, and since for the first time on a massive scale people will be able to start shorting Bitcoin, i.e. betting on its price going DOWN, I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see massive dips letting Bitcoin down by 30-50 %.

Too bad I'm short on crystal balls, otherwise I'd just tell you when to jump in and out. Anyway --

SO WHO GOT THE CLOSEST THIS TIME?

Atually 'closest' might actually NOT be the best word to use this time, coz the smallest gap between the true value and your estimate was $1,434.79 and we have two guys sharing 5th spot while Joe missed it by mere $.11. But this is what my list reveals:

1st prize of $250 goes to Rusty Fetterov aka fetterov @WAD himself with a difference of $1,434.79
2nd prize of $125 goes to talaverajl @WAD with a difference of just $1,517.24
3rd prize of $50 goes to uffa2015 aka sirenetta @WAD with a difference of $1,844.00
4th prize of $50 goes to 2Late4Me aka SharonD1960 @SL with a difference of $1,907.83
5th prize of $50 splits between Simple222 aka Danny421 @WAD and scu11y69 aka scu11y69 @SL while sharing the same difference of $1,988.33.

Many thanks to everyone who took part, congrats to the winners above, and hey -- looking forward to see if you continue betting on BTC going higher, or heading south for next Wednesday, Dec 13 --

A quick look in the calendar tells me that there are just THREE MORE ROUNDS LEFT. So make it count!! Also someone pls nudge drjugz a few minutes before Sunday midnite comes --

Happy guessing. Wishing you all the best of luck!

Cheers Jack

Here comes an obligatory follow-up with WHAT and WHEN for this ongoing round follows --

This calendar week you're supposed to come up with your guestimate of future Bitcoin value on the closing of next Wednesday, DECEMBER 13 (or 23:59 EST) at Coinbase.

The CUT-OFF TIME for your guestimates is this Sunday midnight EST (23:59), DECEMBER 10, after which no further entries will be accepted for this round.

And from now on, your guestimates can't be identical and have to differ by at least 1 CENT.

Cheers!

Gotcha, key11. But imagine a few years back you could barely buy a pizza or two with not fracture of it, but with TEN THOUSAND Bitcoin:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Laszlo_Hanyecz

History is written by the winners, yet no one cares about the long list of failures accompanying each winner making it to the top. In other words, just a very few luminaries/luck0rs saw this coming. And yes, we might be saying the same in year's time when Bitcoin value might be $50K or $5, with both options certainly being a possible.

Which one would you pick?

Congrats what a ride this week

Went above 19K today! Good grief! 

My apologies, it is apricot pits and not peach pits.   Maybe it was 90% of my brain was gone, not the tumors, lmao

Wow! This is a very interesting read!

Check out this link:  Bitcoin's carbon footprint

"Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to power nine homes in the US for one day.. Simply put, bitcoin is slowing the effort to achieve a rapid transition away from fossil fuels. What’s more, this is just the beginning. Given its rapidly growing climate footprint, bitcoin is a malignant development, and it’s getting worse."

Okay, we are going with the guestimate of $14,898.00 for the price of bitcoin this next round.  

Winaday-Fubar

thank you much!

Guess for this week $18000

Wad: 737373

my guesstimate for this week is 17181.92 good luck all and no copying simple222 :)

scu11y69 slotland

Interesting!

Even more so, have you heard about Sofia? The AI from Hanson Robotics? She is already plugged into the blockchain network, solving algorithms, while learning to understand humans more, programmed with empathy, and love. She gained citizenship in Saudi Arabia, which is quite smart of them, because now she can work for a fat paycheck mining bitcoin, and they can tax the f*ck out of her. Nicely played move if you a$k me!

My answer, my guess is this - 16995$

Thanks again LCB and WinADay.   Jack  I am looking at the results and am just noticing I came in second  while my WinADay account was credited $50.  Can you please see if there was an error?  Thanks again Jack for the contest and all you do ! 

my guess this week the 13th of dec  is 15, 475.47  Fetterov @ win a day casino.

I hadn't heard of Sofia but I know now I want one! :)

18376.04 if this happens to be to close to someone elses im sorry but please save me the public shaming of accusing me of foul play for trying to take a shot at getting a prize, not my style, sorry if it seemed that way but my ego is a bit bruised. I would think itd be less suprising that wrinkle22 and simple222 might pick similiar numbers lol

Hey jewelnurse! I stayed awake, and alert, and I'm right down to the very wire... And Mercury is in full retrograde at this very moment, and won't turn direct until 12/26/17, but gosh darn it…I MADE MY PREDICTION IN TIME!!!

Scratch that Jack .  I'm too late this week. Awe well good luck everyone this week.  

Hiya, this is a quickie to let you all know what you already know far too well --

Your time for guessing up the future value Bitcoin for Wednesday, DECEMBER 13 HAS PASSED.

* * * ANY ESTIMATES FOR DEC 13 BTC VALUE MADE AFTER THIS POINT WILL BE IGNORED * * *

Good luck guessing BTC value for next Wednesday, DEC 20, in this calendar week. For which you might better off wait till the weekend though.

The CUT-OFF TIME for your DEC 20 guestimates is this Sunday midnight EST (23:59), DECEMBER 17, after which no further entries will be accepted for this round.

See you this Thursday to see who got the closest this time. Fingers crossed!!

Cheers Jack

Hoping I got you all in there.

@talaverajl: Sorries for not being there a tad earlier, pal. Hoping for the best for the next weekly round!

So true, key11. I read that should the Bitcoin continue scaling up in the same fashion it did throughout the next two years, then

* at the end of 2018 it would consume as much electricity as does the whole US, but that's not all --
* at the end of 2019 it would consume as much el. as does the WHOLE WORLD

which is utterly scary, hoping they would find a way to either make mining less energy-hungry or rule out this assumption as being plain wrong --

Hey Jack I was wondering if you could please look into my prize being credited for last weeks contest,  50 was credited and i think it should have been 125.  Thanks Jack

Hallelujah to that!!

Nice. Too bad the income taxes are plain ZERO in Saudia Arabia, so they'll just have to figure out a different way of exploiting her cyber-skills

Ouch, sorries for a mishap on my end. The remaining credits were just to$$ed in. Enjoy!

Haha, okies. Point taken --

Plus thanks for the warm words, Joe. Yes our CS is indeed an amazing crowd!

Hey Jack I was wondering if you could please look into my prize being credited for last weeks contest,  50 was credited and i think it should have been 125.  Thanks Jack

Talaverajl@WAD

WOOHOO!! YOU MADE IT!!

Sorries {palmface} You should have your credits by now

You're awesome! Thanks

Talaverajl@WAD

Oh oh, if the price drops another 1,000 in the next couple of hours, I could actually win a little something.   I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped another 1,500.00 before midnight strikes!!!!  

Gosh, it looked good about 8am on 12/13... But then went South dadburnit...

Hello!! Anyone know what the value was at midnight?

I think it was valued at 2nd place for you.  :))))))))))))))))))))  Of course... that's central time ...but the value didn't vary much within that 3 hour window.  

Howdy,

Being it Thursday, it means the only thing: Another weekly round of our LCB value guestimating contest has closed and produced new batch of winners. But first things first --

During the whole last calendar week, ranging Monday DEC 4 through the end of Sunday, DEC 10 (23:59 EST), you had to estimate a FUTURE value of Bitcoin on this past Wednesday's midnight, i.e. 23:59 EST, DEC 13.

While I'm checking Coinbase hourly charts, I'm getting slightly different number than you might see on the minute charts as presented above in key11's post, nonetheless it didn't have any effect on the top 1-5 rankings, so let me stick what I'm seeing. And that figure for this week is $16,800.01.

This puts us not so shabby close to $2,500 over the last Wednesday price, which indicates an +17% intraweek increase. Okies, it may not be the biggest jump we ever saw, compared to e.g. those almost $4k from the week before, but Bitcoin is still going north in pretty impressive style. And yes, all that after hitting all the news with the Coinbase-related anomally of reaching over $19k, and with the launch of Bitcoin futures being another quite newsworthy event just this past week. Looks like nothing can stop BTC and many of its siblings from reaching new all-time highs! Anyway --

WHO NAILED IT CLOSEST THIS TIME?

1st prize of $250 goes to Вася Пупкин aka Chancy777 @WAD with a difference of $194.99
2nd prize of $125 goes to roxcbrown aka roxcbrown1 @SL with a difference of $200.99
3rd prize of $50 goes to ROSESHOOD @WAD with a difference of $350.49
4th prize of $50 goes to no one else than key11 aka key11ska @SL with a difference of $371.70
5th prize of $50 goes to scu11y69 @SL with a difference of $381.91

Congrats to the winners above, thanks to all the brave souls amongst you who took part and wishing the best of luck to all of you during the DEC 20 guessing round! TWO MORE ROUNDS LEFT!!

Happy guessing!

Cheers Jack
