if i have a bet on a future event with bitcoin as a currency , is there a way I can sell that bet overtime before the event occurs, If I feel I might loose or on even when the bet has gained value overtime depending on likely of positive result (like passing hot potato)
NOTE: btc is just a popular currency i have used as to explain, it could be any currency I can afford (LOL)

Last Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/startup/comments/e0o3nh/i_got_the_opportunity_to_be_a_speaker_at_a_local/Industry: Cryptocurrency and BlockchainStartup: StrmlineFirst of all, I want to personally thank everyone who commented on that post that gave me good insight on what to say and what to do as far as speaking goes. I won't write too much about it but I'll give a brief summary of what I talked about. I'll go into what tips helped me, and what I'll do in the near future that stemmed from this, also, I'll go over something interesting occurred. The event was at a local conference hall around 30 people came (I assume most people were still traveling for the holidays).
I was the first speaker and it was around 6 pm, so I had to do a good job getting the crowd awake lol. I didn't want to start talking about my business right off the back and make it seem like I was there to sell them on something. I took u/surrealsury advice:
Focus on the journey and the lessons you learned and less about the startup itself. People appreciate learning the “secrets” and how they can become better entrepreneurs and follow in your footsteps...
That's to focus on the journey and my story which lead me to this point. I talked about how my very first entrepreneur journey started in high school with a classmate (who's now my lifelong best friend). He told me about Yu-Gi-Oh cards and how he wanted me to sell all of the cards he had in stock. I took the opportunity as a game, and sold it for him (made out with about $500 in a few weeks) then returned him all the money. He let me keep $200, and he used the rest to buy more cards. From there we were in business. We started to expand operations, but we started to have people who were selling for us to steal money or steal supply and eventually we got kicked out of the library for "gambling" when we weren't doing that. From there we went on with business venture to business venture.
NOTE: I started with that story to add some relatability to the audience. I knew the audience was career/money/entrepreneur-driven, therefore, I wanted to open up with a cute and comedic story to get them interested.
Then I trailed my story to go into when I first heard and learn about cryptocurrency. I started to center the focus back on the core topic. While in high school, I took computer science classes that taught students how to code, and think about future technology. One of the presentations a classmate made back in Spring 2017 was talking about Bitcoin and how it increased from $70 - $1000. I never knew the technology existed; therefore, I researched it and sought to be a viable investment option. I then sought to find ways where I could use bitcoin, but not many people accepted it for purchase. I resigned from my Real Estate training to put 100% of my skills into learning to coding apps. One idea I had was to build a platform that made people be able to sell, buy, and rent houses with cryptocurrency. After facing a ton of regulatory issues, well-funded competitors, and the overall complexity of the startup, I decided to step away and focus on something more achievable. A cryptocurrency retail marketplace! Not for homes though, mainly focused on products.
I know everyone says that picturing everyone naked is the best way to go, but not in this instance. I actually did a little bit of a warm-up by just talking to people all day. Practicing projecting my voice. It also made me became more focused on what I was talking about, and the same way I constructed the conversation, was the same structure I had in mind to structure my speaking.
I had the full stage so I use the space given to be more animated, in a sense allowing my body to do some of the action without speaking.
I have a busy schedule by nature, so always being on the go made me more focused on being in the moment, and conveying the emotions of the moment. I got a little lost in within myself retelling my life story as if I was there in the moment all over again.
I networked with someone who's involved with radio and perhaps would be open to bringing my startup on his radio show once it gets the necessary traction.
I made a couple sells with the prime product on the app, The Crypto Box.
Lastly, It made me want to speak and push forth more. Which I plan to do
Hopefully, this helps someone if ever they are seeking to grow their startup. I hope the best for you all

buy btc from legit sites so you dont get taken for a ride. so, coinbase, cashapp, local bitcoins, coinmama. dont need a tumbler or mixer since GOV dont care about low level buyers. but if you insist the easiest is morphtoken.com.
any wallet is fine, google it, hell if its easier get an android wallet from playstore they are fine as well.
PGP, if you use empire you dont need because it has a little box that does it for you but other places might not so get Gpg4win off google. youtube how to set up and use.
locate a marketplace from the only place you should get links which is: dark.fail DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE
create account on your preferred site
look for what you want and check out the vendor, read reviews, see if its available for your country, see how many sold. Just like amazon are you gonna buy a product with no reviews? try and stay with domestic sellers if possible for less hassles
once you find vendor deposit money into your account and place order, when placing order it will come up with a message area, this is where you put your info encrypted in pgp. READ HOW THE VENDOR WANTS IT FORMATED also use real name and address
wait for package.

Below is part of the court transcript from UNITED STATES OF AMERICA vs. ROGER VER. Thought it was an interesting read. Wanted to share for historical reference of the event, not to bash the man involved.
THE COURT: Thank you. Well, I've given this case a lot of thought. I'm very troubled by it. And when I say that I'm troubled by it I'm troubled by it in several ways. Not only am I troubled by the underlying conduct, which is quite serious, but I don't want to overreact either and I think that's what makes it hard. I think if you have a case which strikes you as being particularly severe, in a way that's kind of an easy thing to just say all right, we'll throw the book at the defendant and that will satisfy that impulse. But I don't think judges ought to sentence anybody impulsively. You have to look at the offense and you have to look at the person who committed it. There are elements in the probation report and in Dr. Missett's report which concern me a great deal. One has to be very careful. Mr. Ver, you're a young man and you've led a law-abiding life for the last two years and you've by all accounts performed well on pretrial release. I did note in your letter that you accepted that your conduct was illegal, and I appreciate that. I also don't in any way want to confuse your political beliefs, which you are absolutely entitled to have, with your criminal conduct.
There's a long and honorable tradition of libertarian politics in our country and I don't mean to in any way hold that against you. It's something that you're entitled to have. The problem, though, is that the law is a representation of authority in a certain way. People can disagree and they can disagree very vigorously and very reasonably about what ought to be legal and what ought not to be legal and how much the Government ought to do or ought not to do. But there is a point at which we start talking about public safety and I think even the most die hard libertarian would agree that one function of government, if there is to be a government, is to protect public safety. So then it's just a question of how you do it, how you do it in a way that's least invasive of individual liberties. Selling explosives over the Internet doesn't cut it in any society that I can imagine and I think it's -- the conduct here is simply not tolerable conduct and it's not -- I don't think one has to be a big government person or believe in government regulation of every aspect of human life to suggest that people should not be selling explosives over the Internet. The other thing that concerns me is that in looking at your social history it seems to me you've got some reasons for not trusting authority, and that's okay. I mean, those are feelings that are a product of your life experience. Nonetheless, those feelings don't give you the right to be above the same social constraints that bind all of us.
And I'm not saying this as well as I'd like to, but I think there's a difference between saying I believe that the government which governs best governs least and saying that I'm above the law totally, that I'm so smart, I'm so able, I'm so perceptive that I don't have to follow the rules that apply to other human beings.

There are elements in the probation report and in Dr. Missett's report which concern me a great deal. One has to be very careful. Mr. Ver, you're a young man and you've led a law-abiding life for the last two years and you've by all accounts performed well on pretrial release. I did note in your letter that you accepted that your conduct was illegal, and I appreciate that. I also don't in any way want to confuse your political beliefs, which you are absolutely entitled to have, with your criminal conduct.
There's a long and honorable tradition of libertarian politics in our country and I don't mean to in any way hold that against you. It's something that you're entitled to have. The problem, though, is that the law is a representation of authority in a certain way. People can disagree and they can disagree very vigorously and very reasonably about what ought to be legal and what ought not to be legal and how much the Government ought to do or ought not to do. But there is a point at which we start talking about public safety and I think even the most die hard libertarian would agree that one function of government, if there is to be a government, is to protect public safety. So then it's just a question of how you do it, how you do it in a way that's least invasive of individual liberties. Selling explosives over the Internet doesn't cut it in any society that I can imagine and I think it's -- the conduct here is simply not tolerable conduct and it's not -- I don't think one has to be a big government person or believe in government regulation of every aspect of human life to suggest that people should not be selling explosives over the Internet. The other thing that concerns me is that in looking at your social history it seems to me you've got some reasons for not trusting authority, and that's okay. I mean, those are feelings that are a product of your life experience. Nonetheless, those feelings don't give you the right to be above the same social constraints that bind all of us.
And I'm not saying this as well as I'd like to, but I think there's a difference between saying I believe that the government which governs best governs least and saying that I'm above the law totally, that I'm so smart, I'm so able, I'm so perceptive that I don't have to follow the rules that apply to other human beings.

In order to be forceful with other crypto diggers, in any case, a cryptographic cash excavator needs a PC with explicit hardware.
Cryptocurrency charts we are give a chart which association is top and check the detail and you check top 20 associations Crypto cash gives a significant examination of the crypto publicize. Despite following worth, volume and market capitalization, Crypto cash tracks arrange improvement, open-source code progression, genuine events and on-chain estimations. Cryptographic cash is a coin showcase situating plot application that positions mechanized money related frames by ... Take a gander at the latest situating for major cryptographic types of cash, for instance, Bit coin.
Digital currency exchange A propelled money exchange can be a physical business or a cautiously online business. As a physical business, it exchanges customary portion systems and progressed financial models. As an online business, it exchanges electronically moved money and mechanized fiscal structures. Routinely, the automated money exchanges work outside the Western countries to avoid rule and arraignment.

How to use bitcoin anonymous guide 2019 - repost and share!
For a really anonymous bitcoin wallet it is best to use a wallet on the dark web.
Download Torbrowser app from app/play store or [torproject.org]1 and then use it to go to one of the following dark web bitcoin wallets:
[[link]6
[[link]7
Or the oldest one: [[link]8
Those wallets are great for day to day spending anonymity.
If you only need a mixer without a wallet then check out:
BitCloak [link]9
BitMixBiz [link]10
BlenderIO [link]11
Chipmixer [link]12
EludeMail [link]13
BitcoinFog [link]14
MixerMoney [link]15
MixTum [link]16
MyBitMix [link]17
Privcoin [[link]18
Those are currently the best options to use bitcoin with true anonymity.
Maybe in the future coinjoin wallets will be good, but currently dark web services are the most trusted, since they are unlikely to be shut down or infiltrated by police.

NYZO has been developed from the ground up, it is an open-source initiative and isn't a copy of any existing blockchain project.
The network has been running for more then one year now and the source code can be found on Github. The NYZO codebase is going to start acting as an API server. This will be run-mode dependent, just like the various web server functions that are available now. It will interact with the mesh on one side and whatever it needs to interact with on the other side.
Developers update NYZO all the time with fixes and performance and stability improvements. Every update which has been created for the network so far has been accompanied by a release note, a detailed document detailing every change to the network to make it better.
We can find these release notes on the website of the developers: What's new? - as you can see, the network has been worked on on a regular basis and each release note is multiple pages long - developers are dedicated to making this a success and this is their testament.
Whitepaper Proof-of-Diversity (PoD) consensus mechanism requires active participation in the form of time and verifier behaviour in the blockchain to be allowed to exert a certain influence on the system as a whole. The Proof-of-Diversity blockchain uses verification cycles to establish the authoritative form of the blockchain. The design and technology are simple and clearly explained in NYZO whitepaper. This document was created in the very beginning and it might not cover all aspects as it should, the release notes make up for this.
Still too lazy and didn't read NYZO whitepaper? Relax, and listen to the soothing audio version.
Verifier Mesh (cycle) participants are called verifiers. Verifiers are in charge of verifying transactions and producing blocks. In exchange for securing the network, verifiers collect transaction fees which are distributed fairly among all of them. Each verifier gets a chance to verify one block in one mesh cycle. NYZO don't need mining equipment and large amounts of processing power like others, only unique IP address and always on Linux VPS is required.
Sentinel The purpose of the NYZO Sentinel is to provide improve stability of the cycle by producing blocks for in-cycle verifiers that are unable to produce blocks due to temporary hardware and network issues. The Sentinel should not be run on an instance that is running the verifier. The NYZO sentinel is a seperate version of the nyzoVerifier designed to protect your in-cycle verifiers. Its job is to constantly check up on your verifiers. If one of them is unresponsive, the sentinel will initiate communication on behalf of the verifier, this all to ensure future cycle inclusion.
The Mesh (cycle) is simply a network of computers known as verifiers all running NYZO and communicating information to each other. The Mesh is a central point of PoD system. For securing the Mesh these computers are given 10% reward of transaction fees for each block they secure.
Check your NYZO verifier status, search for your nickname or IP
Newcomers can sometimes get confused with how Nyzo verifier lifecycle works in practice or how to join the cycle.
Block files One part of the consensus algorithm is the block consolidation process which ensures that a small machine such as a Rock64 Pro or a beefy Raspberry Pi can run a NYZO verifier with little storage space. 1000 blocks are consolidated into 500 Kb of storage space. Very efficient.
51% attack resistance and energy efficiency NYZO has a properly designed economic model that relies on time. Therefore, the cost for 51% attacks (relative to market cap) is huge, there is ongoing incentive to participate in the network, and attacks based on computing power (PoW) or ownership of token (PoS) aren't feasible. NYZO uses only a tiny fraction of Bitcoin’s resources while performing the same tasks. 58 000 000 000 kwH - 58 TWh : current BTC power cons. per year vs 36500 kwH - 0.0000365 TWh : current NYZO power cons. per year = 1,589,041 times more efficient and 51% attack resistant.
Roadmap NYZO developers have been asked many times for a roadmap. The roadmap is to keep making the code more stable, more robust, and more efficient.
Scalability NYZO doesn’t require any Layer 2 scaling solutions and is able to handle high transaction volumes per second which is only dependent on the performance of the verifiers in the mesh. The block time is 7 seconds and block size is 28 Kb.
Micropay is a lightweight way of using NYZO that shifts as much burden as possible to the person receiving the payment to make it as easy as possible for someone to send small payments. Next step is an API server for Micropay.
