summary of that very long story:

clever gambling site owner simply takes your money on larger bets, unless if you go to the trouble to click a hidden button and prove that the bet is going to be random

a gambler loses 200 BTC before he figures this out, then cracks the code, wins back 60 BTC, and the site owner simply seizes his money and shuts down his account

edit: also, the site owner is being very careful to stay anonymous

bitcoin was worth $0.10 when this thread first started, but if i had bought $10 worth of it i would have sold at $1.00

only true blue ancaps held the bag all the way up from $0.10 to $1200 and, presumably, back down

My coworker goes on about these books and made them sound quite interesting, but he's also a bitcoiner, so I'm pretty torn. Are they pretty much bitcoin fantasy novels or something?

snow crash: legitimately entertaining, if implausible, libertopia book with Second Life stuff thrown in

diamond age: even more entertaining and implausible utopia about voluntary traditionalist nations rising out of libertopia. also, nanotech

He took his graphics card in hand:
Long time the function solve he sought --
So rested he on Bitcoinity
And stared awhile in shock.

And, as in euphoric thought he stood,
The IRS, with coins now named
As property, they came for him
Even tho they had no claim.

One, two! One, two! And through and through
His graphics card a code had cracked!
"End the fed, like Ron Paul said -
I'll never pay this tax!"

"And, has thou mined a BTC?
We shall succeed where banksters fail!
O halving day! Let's use Bitpay!"
And then they went to jail.

i'm the guy with 1.5mil to burn whose only other post on reddit is in a praisepost in an "idiots guide to nootropics" thread, which is apparently some weird homeopathic "cognitive enhancer" MLM poo poo.

Coffee: I used to take this religiously. Made me happy, motivated, warm, made everything better. Took up to half a gram (5 cups or so) a day for over a year. Now, when I take it I feel strange, depressed, disassociated, and other unpleasant things. Despite a 3 month tolerance break, the magic has not returned. It is possible that my caffeine powder is contaminated, and I am considering buying fresh stuff and seeing if it works better. If it turns out that my bad results from this chemical are the result of contamination, rather than the natural result of abusing coffee in unhealthy quantities for years on end, I will let you guys know.

edit: kind of interesting subreddit actually. its basic message is that you should drink multiple cups of green tea to help you focus, and there are a lot of other minor drugs you can take but they are often dangerous

Funny thing is that the ~1k of code was more secure and fair than it seems like any of the bitcoin exchanges/dice are, and even more transparent since it gave anyone a full list of the payout ranges/odds. poo poo, you don't need to scam anyone at all if you're running a skinner box and just taking the honest cut

this thread focuses on the shittiest uses of bitcoin, but there are hundreds of well-coded gambling sites out there

like satoshidice, whose original owner earned a lot of money skimming then sold to another company for even more

gambling is lovely but for other reasons as you said, and a lot of people do treat it as entertainment (like myself)
