He’s the man who broke the bank at It was no matter of chance. It was no miracle from above. He played the odds, he played them well, and he walked away from the matter with a MIGHTY 37 Bitcoins, all in one hit.
If the slot machine had been real instead of virtual he’d have been listening to the sweet, sweet sound of silver dollars clattering into the trough. Now the only question is, what amazing travels can our hero afford to splash the cash on?
1. Ski the Matterhorn
Join to elite jet-set at Zermat, Switzerland. Nestled in the shadow of one of the world’s most iconic mountains, the Matterhorn, this chic and ever so chill ski resort is the perfect first destination for a man with bitcoin to to burn. Get your very own log cabin chalet, feast on fondue, and soak up the warmth of an open fire. And don’t forget the skiing itself. With some of the world’s best pistes, you can slide right into next door Italy. But don’t forget to stop by a Swiss bank first…
2. Ferrari the Amalfi Coast
This 50 km stretch of Italian coastline is universally noted as the most beautiful drive in the world, a single road winding along sheer rugged cliffs with the glistening blue mediterranean ocean below. And what better way to experience than in a classic Ferrari 250 GTO. At auction it’s a little expensive even for our bitcoin hero, but a days rental will be an experience to remember for a lifetime.
3. Snap a Selfie at the Beach
Anse Source d’Argent in the Seychelles is the beach you have always dreamed of. Turquoise sea, crystal clear waters and a beach like diamond dust. And there’s a reason this place lingers in your dreams. It’s the most photographed beach in the world, you’ve seen it in a million movies. Pick up a Hasselblad Z1D and snap the ultimate self to send back to your former workmates still stuck in the office.
4. Up the Stakes in Connecticut
Soak up the spirit of native American tribes, and sink a few shots of spirit as well, at the Foxwoods casino, owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. You’ll have an exclusive villa, your own butler, and access to some the world’s highest stakes gambling, outside the strictures of US Federal laws. How better to build up your winnings than betting red at the world’s best roulette wheels?
5. Plot the Next Step from Your Island Lair
The magnificent island of Kho Phing Kan will have you wondering where you know them from, and with good reason. These islands were the secret lair of the assassin Scaramanga in The Man With Golden Gun and have been nicknamed James Bond island ever since. Plan out your next fortune winning play, in a secret lair worthy of Satoshi Nakamoto themself.
6. The Final Frontier
William Shatner said it the best, space really is the final frontier. Today you really can buy a ticket to space, although it might be years until you can claim it, and it will cost nearly all of those 37 bitcoin winnings, for a $250,000 reservation with Virgin galactic. But it might just be worth it, not just as a small step for a man with 37 bitcoin, but a giant leap for mankind.

Bank of the State of Chile Shuts Down Three Exchange Accounts
Regional news outlet El Mercurio reports Banco del Estado de Chile (Banco Estado) is closing the accounts of three cryptocurrency exchanges. “Banco Estado adopted the decision,” a bank statement is quoted as explaining, “for now, not to operate with companies dedicated to issuing or creating, brokerage, intermediation or serve as a platform for cryptocurrency calls.”
Banco Estado is the country’s only public bank, managing all the government’s financial activity. It has a traditional focus of serving small businesses and the unbanked. It is Chile’s largest issuer of debit cards. It is the third largest bank in the nation, and routinely ranks as the safest bank in Latin America.
Ongoing Issue
El Mercurio stresses that Banco Estado was the final chance for the three exchanges, which have also been squeezed by Scotiabank and Itaú prior to the state bank’s announcement. The above statement was the only comment by the bank as for why it is closing down the exchanges’ accounts.
Orionx told the paper it wasn’t the end of the world, insisting users’ money is “fully backed and there is no insolvency risk.” Pablo Chavez of Buda confided that the summary closings might lead to him starting a bank of his own, though he seemed unexcited about those prospects. Martín Jofré of Cryptomkt echoed Mr. Chavez, seeing Banco Estado has a financial lifeline.
Last month these two cryptocurrency exchanges on the country’s banking association to issue a clear position regarding the matter.
Various other countries have tried the tactic, often using the pretext of money laundering or tax avoidance. Fall of last year saw a few banks in Singapore with several startups that operate with cryptocurrencies. In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the trading platform Luno had its bank account by the country’s tax officials.
What should these exchanges do? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
