Summary
PlayerUnknown’s online Battle Royale-type game Battlegrounds is now the world’s fifth top-grossing PC game. It is trailing Tencent’s first-person shooter CrossFire.
Tencent’s subsidiary Epic Games decided to copy the design/mechanics of Battlegrounds. PlayerUnknown used Epic Games’s Unreal 4 engine to make Battlegrounds.
Copying another company’s hit game is a fair practice for Tencent. After all, nobody has the copyright on Battle Royale genre-based video games.
Tencent needs to be more aggressive in video games. E-commerce giant Alibaba now touts a dedicated video games unit.
I still rate TCEHY as a buy.

It is nice to be invested in a company that does what you love 

Currently my favourite is : -

Online - Overwatch (listed as 8th) - Tencent also have a 5% stake in Blizzard
Offline : Fallout 4 (Where the dog "Dogmeat" is from) & Evil within 2 (Play that late at night with lights off )

Also play Witcher 3, and a couple of others when I get time.

It's climbing so fast it must be getting nosebleeds. I don't get it, why are they so valuable?

My understanding is there is only a finite number in existence at present, so its a captive market, also its an ideal opportunity for money laundering without authorities knowing where the coins are at any given time - no registers.
I do believe this is a bit of a bubble and a bit like the tech stock melt down a number of decades back - but hey this happens in markets you just need to be astute with your wealth

Let’s say Maria wants to send mail to Peter. First she needs to know what Peter’s mailbox address or number is. Let’s say Peter’s mailbox is number 2034. Similarly, if she wants to send Bitcoin to Peter, she needs to know his Bitcoin address, which is a number that uniquely identifies him. This is also sometimes called his wallet address, or public key, which functions similar to your bank account number. It’s a long and complicated number because there are so many Bitcoin post boxes in the world, but thankfully you don’t have to remember it, you can find it on the internet.
So now Maria deposits the Bitcoin in Peter’s mailbox. She can have a peek inside and see the Bitcoin there, in fact anyone who walks by can see that mailbox 2034 is filled with one Bitcoin. This is part of the exciting part of Bitcoin - that everyone can see all the transactions but without anyone having to share their identity. People can see there is one Bitcoin in 2034, but no-one, except for Maria and Peter, will know it belongs to Peter.

i thought it is going to fly, but I read that allthough trading statement looks good, it is still not back to profits where it was few years ago. But I just bought thus keepng for a while
