"Whats up guys, (not) Doug Polk here"

I have been following Doug Polk for a few months now. He has talked about crypto currency a few times in his videos. For those of you who do not know who Doug Polk is, he is a Pro Poker player who has a very successful social media and YouTube following. I like his laid back style and funny personality, he's a funny guy. His YouTube channel has a great production, and has a bit of everything; analyzing poker plays, live streaming his online games, and some funny stuff. Great guy, huge, wins bigly. 

Doug Polk just won his 3 WSOP bracelet not a bad win; a cool 3.7 million. From what I gather from his videos, Doug was only in it for 42%, someone backed a little over half of his $111,111 buy-in. So someone made a good investment, like buying steem at .10 cents. Got to love it when a plan comes together, right? 


Doug interviews a fellow poker player Fedor Holz and the discussion drifts into crypto currency. Give it a watch, discussion starts at 58 min in, they trash the stock market for a bit, nothing new, Doug is clearly a crypto fan, 108 min. They even talk about Dennis Rodman and his potcoin t-shirt.


Have I mentioned the giveaway? Well Doug has.

*giveaway is 2% of his net WSOP profit. still not bad! currently worth $30k. if I win I will be buying steem with my winnings what about you?

I love Doug
I watch his videos on youtube and his streams on Twitch
He's soo funny

The conversation that started at 58 is a great one, these guys are wise beyond their years. Doug is humble stating he doesn't know nearly what the experts know, but on the other hand, these guys understand the insanity of the current stock market and the fiat debt ponzi scheme better than most.

But, when are they going to talk about using Bitcoin to sidestep the American Online Poker Ban? Is it viable? Are there any good articles about the topic, explanations why it can or cannot work?

Love it

Please my dear vote on my page for ur vote great honor to me

Hey can you change your First Name on the Poker League to your Steemit username with the "@" sign included please. Thanks!

I agree with you. Doug is not only pretty entertaining but he's one of the few voices of calm and reason in a manic world of crypto

Doug is the only person i trust on youtube!
