They promised withdrawals to be activated for other altcoins by next week.
Lets hope they stick to their promise and do it

But with proper research you can invest in that 1%, and go along with it.

As to the Op, even free electricity would probably not lead you to get a ROI, specially when the next year halving happens.

lol . Also, I wonder why don't all the silk road masterminds, do their business of running the site offshore. 50,000 BTC is definitely a shitload, and I wonder, why does all the money go only to the US government.

Already been repeated a millions times . But will do it again.
Paypal, sending through anyway is prone to being charged back . But since you are looking for only, I think its a safe amount, assuming, you don't do a lot of 20$ trades within the 45 day period.

After 3 pages, sorry If I am repeating this. But it is true , that COpyright and patents are a hindrance for growth. I mean, the main aim of the world is to move forward and grow, and using on innovations from other people. If you copyright something, then that basically hinders that growth.
Here is also an interesting video/article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/b/6888f36d-5487-4bfb-b670-32c581f1d2ce
Can't find the similar article I read.

Here is a link which also shows more interest this year ; http://www.coindesk.com/third-usms-bitcoin-auction-bidder-interest/
As for price increasing , its hard to say. One reason price is higher to buy large quantity is to not skyrocket the price while buying that much quantity from the exchanges.

Something that what I have seen from every scamming site/scammer, including a trend in altcoins and  sites that offer services is that, first they keep people in the hope they will come back and be repaid. And slowly, with excuses, people start believing that they won't be paid, and let the anger dry out ,,and once that is done, they see "Its gone".

Yeah, just read about it. Is the house edge much different, if you go for the 8 deck ?

Instead of Hardware, why not cloudmining ( If you can find a legit company ) ?

2 reasons, First you can't buy 50K straight from the market as the prices will increase by 10% even by buying 5K bitcoins.
And you will have to trust a large amount with a third party while doing so.

Its not bad, but its still a gamble. And I think, since blackjack has a higher edge than dice or any other gamble, so its better to play something where edge is lesser, if you intend to martingale. But in the end, martingale is not a winning strategy in the long run.

Check out btchorse. It was starting 2 weeks best ,and was accepting newbies  as well.

I just read that the bidders will be paying 30% more than the usual market price. Seems a pretty steepp cost they will have to pay for those coins.
Thats almost 100$ more than the current market price.

Well there are many. Some reputed ones are bitstamp,bitfinex, and coinbase.
You can also purchase coins at localbitcoins.

Best thing to do is try again after sometime, I highly doubt they will close without any news.

By a new way to mine the coin do you mean a new algorithm ? Only that would make sense here.

Whats the point of strategies, when the only point of them is to prolong the time you lose all your bankroll. Eventually you will lose in a -EV system .

Most of the professionslas, don't trade with others btc, and the ones that do ,most of the times lie about it

I feel the opposite, but everyone is free to their own opinions.
Bitcoin is actually stored on systems on individuals, and not everyone is good with maintaining the security of their systems.
As for diggital payments, like paypal, they are much more safer than bitcoin and can be reversed too.

Yes they do, along with the trust, they won't be driving the price up while buying. But 30% is still a big amount that will be charged extra.
