Oh yes it's dead. You should move on. 
Besides your bank needs your money more than ever now that some of us are gone for good.

People twenty years from now are going to laugh at the idea of race. In the future everyone will be brown. Black and white will be meaningless as most everyone you meet will be a mix of Asians, Latinos, Caucasians, Africans, etc... The only minority will be whites of European decent.  

By the way, I'm not saying it's your fault. Fricking scammers! Sorry to hear about your loss.

My countermeasure!

Weed. Alcohol is dangerous. 

Cocaine will increase test scores but you must use it while studying and while taking the test. The downside is that it may well go on to destroy your life. 

P.S. That is way too much for a laptop. An item that will be obsolete in a few years. I just buy a used Thinkpad and install linux. I am writing from such a machine. I think I paid $75 for it a few years ago. I know your a gamer and need power/GPU speed, But why not a desktop?

I like your project. I have spent hundreds of dollars on printed material for distribution. I would add that buttons work well also. Far more people wanted the buttons than the infographics. You can't put much on a button but with Google all you need to show is a unique word, like Bitcoin.

Yes it's the Irish that are the problem. Go back to Ireland and stop stealing our jobs!! Just because you came here a hundred years ago is no excuse!!!! 

They sure are generous! If they had kept this to themselves they could have turned a single bitcoin into 177,978,515,625 bitcoins in 6 months. Quite impressive since that is more bitcoins than will ever exist.  

A survey? If survey results said my FaceBook password (god) was safe, would it be?

Why would PayPal help? Honestly. What part of DON'T USE PAYPAL is misunderstood around here? I'm afraid your money is gone.  

Here's a thought. This spring put your garage sale items for sale online. Price them cheep to move and only accept BTC. These are items you were done with anyway.

It's just one of the reasons she does not have my support. But I would guess dozens of elected officials are busy this morning disconnecting their private email servers so that they can spend tomorrow morning piously bloviating about other peoples servers.

He had a lot to say about the imbalance of wealth. He said it with the bitcoin protocol. There is no imbalance of wealth in BTC. The poorest or wealthiest people in the world are free to jump in. Being rich gives you no advantage the way it does with fiat.

One thing I don't understand is that if a "madmax outcome" happens, (a complete breakdown of society) then why would one need anonymity? There would be no records or social infrastructure to support it. What you would need is calories, not anonymity.

Poor choice Hillary. Kinda like our Governor Scott Walker. He set up his own email service in a government office so employees could work on his campaign at taxpayer expense.

And of course since it is open source there is no way to hide anything in the code. Clearly the concept of open source was new to him.  

Casinos make money from gambling. Why? Because they are not gambling.

I'm not sure which exchange works best in the UK, but I have a few other bits of advice.

Don't ask for a loan.
Don't "invest" in bitcoin, use bitcoin.
Don't "invest" in anything here! Scams are far more common here than the rare legitimate attempt to try something new.

Bitcoin is just money. It's not here to make us rich or get us out of paying taxes. It's not destined to go to the moon, but it might. It's not going to crash to zero, but this is a social experiment and no one knows the future, so it might.

Lastly, don't listen to people. lol.  you are going to see a lot of confident, ignorant opinions here. You would think the future could be predicted? But it can't. Make up your own mind.

Cheers and welcome fellow peer.
