I am wondering if Fruitbasket has kept to his word and has not gambled since he started this thread.
I know it is hard and I myself have not stopped putting some bitcoin into gambling, even if I keep saying "This is the last time!", I know this will not come to fruition. Gambling is a hard cycle to break and just saying it on  a forum will not make it so.

what happens when the projector breaks at a 3D Thursday screening of Force Awakens:

The universe is not at ease for these ones  

Learn to lose, what do you really mean by this? Nobody has enough to do a trial and error on gambling sites.
How do you propose one would do this if they don't have enough to begin in gambling to begin with?
I would say poker to start would be a losing situation for a newbie to the gambling world since there are so many gamblers that play poker as a full time job and they would lose so fast playing against them.

He did do this and paid the price. Not even a hero/lengendary member to do this transaction with paypal you wouldn't do it? How much trust rating would they need to have to do this transaction with? You are hero already so I can't see you running off with $159 as you account is worth more than that.

Now my confirmation is complete. It is not a site to put anything into if false claims are coming in too try andd bring in more victims to this scheme.
Appreciate this observation Noel57

It is starting to look it is not going to reach that mark this year. A lot of doom and gloom from the US news about the interest rate hike and high debut loads on the American consumers. It is not looking so good now and that always affects the bitcoin price in an adverse way.

So you still getting paid from this site?
It has been awhile and wanting to know if it is still operational or just a dead site now.
Was going to start a thread asking about it but did a search and came across this outdated topic.
Hopefully someone can give me some feedback before I place any bits into this Ponzi 

Why did this guy not heed the words transcribed by so many. Do not deal with untrusted members here on this forum, they will take your money especially from a paypal transaction.
This could of been avoided if you deal with HERO members and up to be safe from this to have happening to you.

I did hear about this story and was in shock when I just read how much you got for it.
When I saw spotted it briefly I just saw the headline of house for sale for bitcoin but didn't know how much you sold it for. Over 2 years later, I am astounded how much you got for it.
I do hope you held on to it for that long and haven't spent it or put it into any shady investment scams.
Well wishing and happy holidays too you, the price of it now should be a well deserved Christmas gift to you!

Why don't you do this deal with this guy?

I don't think having a verified account can safe you from a charge back. But sending as a gift doesn't do anything either just saves on the high fees paypal charges.

Didn't really see the connection before to China being a direct contributor to the increase in price by so much. It does in fact have a direct correlation to other currencies as the article states that the trading of foreign currencies leaving their shores is the cause. This I can see it being the reason.

Some are saying this is the reason:

As always good news is always welcome and usually a sign for the drastic bump up in price. It is took quite a drastic jump now as I just finished reading the article. People spending in this currency at this time does help too for driving it up.

From what I have seen so far I would say a definite yes. The price is steady and not jumping to much at one time. That is a good growth and it will hit that mid kilo mark and stay that way into the new year.
This is my prediction from what I have been analysing so far from charts of the past month. Since the last big surge at the beginning of November.

xapo has a prepaid card and coinbase will be releasing one to all states soon(it only works in some for now).
wagecan has on but don't know if it is prepaid but it can used at a btc atm.

I can't see an entire country relying on bitcoin at the moment, especially a country as large as China.
That is an immense under taking if they are suggesting getting rid of their currency so to make way for a new all digital currency. They have the infrastructure in place, at least in the large metropolitan cities, to incorporate this endeavour but the smaller cities will not be ready technological wise. That would take decades to make the whole country bitcoin friendly and accessible to everyone, even the farmers and the elderly people.

I would say the most used web based bitcoin wallet would have to be Xapo then coinbase.
Xapo has giveaways all the time and are really fast. They have teamed up with Cevo an online gaming network to make it more fun when dealing with them as opposed to coinbase where they just keep your coins. You can also buy and sell from there as well.
Those are the two most popular.
I have also heard of hive and rushwallet but they aren't used as much as the above ones mentioned.

I think Coinbase has become too big and can not handle the massive influx of users all the sudden.
They keep running promotions for new members to join by giving them free bitcoins such as $60 worth of btc one time, but it seems they haven't prepared themselves to offer support for all these new clients. They can not deal with all them with the same amount of staff they had 8 months ago.

Haven't heard of ethereum before but now looking at this micro computer it looks interesting.
Glad I stumbled upon this and will be reading those books mentioned above. I will definitely be investing into this project further.
Will have something to do during the holiday break now and know what I will asking for this Christmas.

That would never happen as litecoin is less established and does not have as much as a client base as the number of bitcoin users and transactions have a wide gap between the two.
I had a litecoin client running last year and it was lightening quick to receive those confirmations. I can't imagine that speed would of changed as it would of progressed by now. But bitcoin on the other hand would now be slower than the same time last year due to the saturation of users and transactions going out in that time.

I would think this would revive the arcade machines in a big way.
Now that everybody has either an xbox or PlayStation those have virtually killed going to the arcades to play them and not to mention the emulators.
Having this new innovation combined with the old classic nostalgia would be a good marriage I would have to say to reinvent itself and appeal to the next generation of gamers.
I really miss playing Rampage at the arcade hall.
