It is thread about turning 0.03 into 1 BTC, which is nice especially because OP withdrew the 1 BTC and saved it (I hope  )

Don't worry, I did. Though, I'm considering using it to further leverage my BTC position (which originally resulted in me losing the 0.21 BTC, but this time with less leverage).

Put it in dividend stocks or something that pays interest, you'll thank me later 1BTC should be enough to get some nice payouts somewhere, there are fools out there who make those kind of wins and then think if they put down a bit more they'll win again and then end up losing it all, that's how gambling addicts get into debt etc.

Take the money and run! Don't look back

That was the lesson I learned, I lost on a 98% bet, 2BTC lol.  Oh, the humour.

Speaking of debt, I'm actually thinking of lending it (as well as some of my other BTC as well, obviously) out to people after getting & verifying a US checking account from them to draw from if something goes wrong. Do you think that has any potential for working?

So, last month I got a payment for my sig for 0.24. Since I figured 'who gives a fuck, its free money anyway' I put it on 1broker and used it to leverage long BTC. Long story short the crash after silk road shutdown caused a margin call and I was left with 0.03 in. So I figure what the hell, I'm going to put it into primedice. I'm trading using the equivalent of a martingale, but with 33% chance of winning (3x payout) rather than the normal 2x payout. I leave it running overnight, lo and behold, today, somehow its up to almost 0.1 BTC! So I withdraw the 0.1 to my wallet, and figure I'm going to be done because I don't want to lose it all. Then I figure, "why not invest in Just-Dice". So I send my money there, to invest.

However, I was short the transaction fees, and really wanted to have at least 0.1 to invest otherwise its sort of silly. So, I start gambling again. Only, fortunately for me, I can't stop. Believe it or not, I just gambled my way up to having 1.07 BTC in just-dice. So I withdraw the 1.00 (I'm not joking, I really did, http://blockchain.info/tx/ebeb8438e580851b74710e66480a41a5a0aa3e3fc027216410a86dc73969fd50) and figure I may as well fuck around with the 0.07 remaining. Within 2 minutes I lose it.

But who gives a fuck, through playing dice games I turned 0.03 into 1 BTC! Sorry if this sounds like gloating, its just after scorning those games for so long (this is literally the first time I've ever played a dice game) having this happen sorta blew my mind.

I guess that's my 1 BTC that you won, please give me back
