Playing Online Poker With Bitcoins - Is this the future?
As we all observed the last changes that goverments are doing regarding taxes and how they tackle online poker, using bitcoins to play poker, someday, it will be a real option.
People are asking why is this Crypto-Currency worth 6k - 7k dollars?
Well people, Bitcoin transactions are almost annoymous, and this is how much people with money value their anonymity, this is why Bitcoin is worth so much money: PEOPLE LIKE ANONYMITY and are using this type of currency so they can make payments so banks and governments won't tax the hell out of their money, and the value will rise for the next 2 years.
For example some goverments are taxing directly your all time winings and loses, how much money you have actually played not the money you have actually won. This is BS!
In this kind of world, anonymity will be so expensive that new millionaires will be created by this new wave.
The more you try to control this world - The more this world will find ways to survive and change the way people are doing things so they can live their lives without being controled by anyone.

2012 World Poker Tour Montreal Day 1b: Record Field Generates $3.4 Million Prize Pool
The World Poker Tour made history in Canada on Saturday. The first-ever $3,300 buy-in WPT Montreal Main Event
saw 695 players enter on the second Day 1 flight, creating a total
field of 1,173 entries — a new record in Canada for a tournament with a
buy-in of $1,000 or more.
The massive turnout generated a prize pool of $3,387,930. The top 117 places will receive a minimum payout of $5,421, with the winner taking home $754,162, which includes a $25,000 seat into the WPT Championship at Bellagio next spring. Each member of the historic WPT Montreal final table at the Playground Poker Club will collect a six-figure payday, and here's a look at the top payouts:
Only 221 of the 695 Day 1b entrants survived the 12 hours of play, with Kalpech Raichura finishing on top with 314,000. Raichura will be second overall in chips entering Day 2, trailing only Day 1a chip leader Patrick Lelievre who bagged up 326,000. Others boasting big stacks at the end of play Saturday were Jeff Gross (284,000), Glen Cymbaluk (270,700), Everol Davis (243,900), Louis Rousseau (236,200) and Daniel Ricci (231,000).
Gross, a two-time WSOP final tablist, scooped a big pot late in the day to vault up the leader board. According to the WPT Live UpdatesTeam , Gross put in a three-bet preflop to 15,800, and the original raiser called to see a flop. Both players checked, and the fell on the turn. Gross called a bet of 16,000, and the dealer rolled over the on the river. After his opponent checked the paired board, Gross pondered his next move before betting 39,000. The other player quickly called, but he mucked when he saw Gross table the for two pair, aces and sixes. That pot sent Gross to around 196,000, and he continued accumulating the rest of the night to finish at 284,000.
Among the other notables who advanced to Day 2 were Amanda Musumeci, Andy Frankenberger, Bruce Buffer, Todd Terry, Timothy Adams, Ashton Griffin, Mohsin Charania, Tom Marchese, Erik Cajelais, Gavin Smith, John Racener, Trishelle Cannatella, Isabelle Mercier, Will Failla and Dan Smith, who currently holds a huge lead in the Global Poker Index Player of the Year race.
While those players thrived, many hit the rail on Saturday. Among the less fortunate were Faraz Jaka, Jonathan Duhamel, Daniel Negreanu, Brian Rast, Justin Zaki, Joe Serock, Matt Salsberg, Matt Marafioti, Marvin Rettenmaier and recent WPT winner Noah Schwartz. The WPT bestbet Fall Poker Scramble champ was eliminated when he moved all in preflop with the and was unable to out-flip his opponent's pocket fours as the board ran out .
