This may be part of the future, but i think it's still soon to enter in a big adventure with criptocurrencies. I don't want to desencourage anyone, i was just remembering of the value that currencies have already registered and the value they have today. The variance is huge. One can either buy 100 today and have it for the value of 50 or 500 tomorrow. It's not a decimal diffence, it's big numbers. I just hope everything runs well so others may follow and give this opportunity, along with the traditional ones.

It remains to be seen how successful this poker room will be in the future. CoinPoker.com is launching on Friday but not in all countries. We still have to wait until we see if they will buy the license in all countries. Until then we may see a trailer or an advertisement. A tournament on the 21st January with a Tesla S as a grand prize is very nice but many players will cry...

I do not really fully understand all these new ways and i am looking forward to see what the future holds. These crypto currencies look like the future and we will have to get used to them

On ico after another. Everyone is setting a new coin out there There are more than 1300 crypto coins right now. Maybe we should start thinking, making our own coins. Each person with its own coin

There is a need for a high-intensity solar storm to release a powerful jet of particles to our planet and these coins will lose their value. Crazy world with virtual coins. There are so many virtual coins and they will earn from conversion fees. How great are the conversion taxes? they will know...

Some of them go up and down enough to earn you more than enough money. I have read that there are scripts already used to exchange cryptocoins. Big exchanges have too many transactions each day. And some have crazy fees now.

Does anyone actually plays poker at that room, or is it all about the coins they use there? If i surf the net, there are a lot of sites discussing the ICO, but none about the poker games played there.

Beacuse poker seems to be secondary concern to those whoever registering there. Kinda red flag for me tbh.

I read more about this new poker room and the situation seems quite interesting. There are many good players who are interested in playing here. Have transparency in games, transaction speed, payment issues fast etc. I'm sure big platforms such as pokerstars or 888poker will add crypto coins.

There are too many "connecting" an ico with something else, like in this case the poker site, advertising how different and revolutionary can be. Kinda of bull if you ask me. You are making a cryptocoin at the end, and that enough. Like the ones that will buy into the ico they are gonna play poker or care about it

That's too complicated for me. Should be open new wallet, buy coin ( bitcoin ??? )etc. much simple play at poker site which use skrill, Webmoney, etc. Very easy and fast to deposit and withdraw ,and no need wasting time to learn something new and complicated to play poker. ( play at micro buy in, lol )

With micro buy ins you can play at any site. One that is credible enough And i dont think a micro buy ins players should play with cryptocoins either way. You need something more solid there, so that you bankroll has every day the same value

There seem to be a number of new entrants to the online poker industry recently. Isn't the market already saturated? Are there still unexploited resources and unexplored market segments? Will online poker surge in popularity in the next few years?
poker room with crypto-currencies gives you an additional opportunity to get a profit or vice versa ...... for example you won 1 bitcoin when the price was 20,000 and decided that it was very good ... went somewhere and did not play a month ..... came and realized that they lost half of the money

They found the worst period to launch that coin. Everything is messed up in the crypto world. Prices hitting rock bottom and some say it is not over yet. I guess that btc bubble was too big and some decided to make it smaller @maggat. Are you still in with coins?

The stock markets are dropping now as well 'cuz many people feel like selling there as well so it's not like this is a unique thing.

dunno call me oldie or not modern etc. but I am getting pissed off the very moment I hear cryptocurrencies, coins, ico's mentioned. to me personally all this mayhem looks like a great scheme (yet another one) to lure away money from a great number of folks who somehow believe that this cryptobullshitcurrencies whatever is the seventh wonder of the world...

It definitely has to do with age, at some point. You see people at their 20s talking about it like it is a new revolution, and something that will change the world for ever. Take a step back, relax, and get off that horse of yours for a while...
Huge part of this is speculation and gamble - just like regular stock markets. This is why multiple banking outlets now forbid buying them with your credit cards. You could still buy them if you want, but just only with money you already have.
