They tend to do this sort of thing for publicity, but still...

[Edit - I checked their actual site, the odds are 5-1, which is a bit more sane. Otherwise, why wouldn't you just buy bitcoins instead of taking the bet?]

Interesting, 50/1 would be much more fun.

Now 5/1 actually.

And obviously it is a mugs bet. Just buy the coins instead, you will always be better off doing this versus Paddy Power regardless of the outcome.
