    Deuce your a failed overweight law school drop out. Mr Walker can do whatever he wants and I think a very clever idea.

    sounds great. John it would help build the investment sub forum. Speculation is speculation after all and bitcoin is the most interesting ponzi scheme ever.

    That's actually a great idea because the money can grow and become real. Obviously needs to be a minimum etc

    Would love to be able to buy ANYTHING. This would be preferable to giving them away and/or losing them in the casino. Be a broker John?!

    +1 for this...although there might be logistic problems. For example, if a 2,000 point store item is added for bitcoins, the amount of bitcoins it purchases would have to be tied to a firm currency (USD, EUR, etc) so SBR can budget accordingly (and if the price is tied to a certain dollar amount, there's probably a strong legal argument that it's the same as giving out cash). Either that or SBR would have to invest in a certain number of bitcoins and offer fixed points/bitcoins ratio...which risks a run on the store if bitcoin has a good day. Definitely doable in one way or another I'd imagine (gift certificate to a place that allows you to transact in bitcoins maybe?), and tying points to an easier-to-exchange medium might even be a significant boost for the pro program and the poker volume.

    This is the year of Litecoin..Asic miners are going to drive the price up just like it did to BTC last year.
    Points to any crypto currency would be a great idea..even my pot dealer started taking BTC
