Muhahahaaa
PS: TsuyokuNaritai , Lesswrong reader?
Haha, I was wondering the same thing. Cool, my secret handshake works.  Are there many on bitcointalk from the Bayesian Conspiracy?  I'd have thought there'd be quite a lot, for various reasons...  I swear it's not a cult mom and dad. |

I've already made my call $250/BTC by April 30, 2013.
Might be conservative.
Dude I'm a fucking atheist but nobody makes money this fast and this easy without going to some sort of hell.... My small investment is growing so fucking rapidly, and is becoming a not so small investment. However, I love everything about bitcoin and am also afraid to sell +1,this is starting to get somewhat serious for me. I can't even imagine how the real early adopters feel (one might argue that everybody buying now is still an early adopter). most of us are mad we didn't put more disposable income wasted on crap like video games into bitcoin. |

He promised to give free bitcoins to everyone who showed him that they already have some. Of course this is suspect, and it's no surprise he did not keep his word. But really, I'm not even mad. Even if someone was trying to "hedge" against pirate's default, it would have been an "after-the-fact" hedge, they'd have lost their money already and were just trying to get them back through a free lottery ticket.
Matthew gained nothing financially, whereas Pirate actually stole other people's money.
matthew gained the chance to fleece people on a bet that he never intended to pay. Do you people live in a ****ing fantasy world where this kind of behavior won't get you in serious trouble IRL? |

|

Matthew just bounced with 800+k USD. To claim otherwise is to claim that he wouldn't have taken payment had he won.
|
|
|
|
sure but are you talking about pirate or this bet?  |
|
|
|
my new watch if I win.  |
|
|
|
|
So pirate gave you the exact time he's paying everyone?
|
|
|
|
|
"The fact that there were this many people willing to do a bet without escrow shows you how ignorant and greedy this community can get"
This bet was originally about people talking shit according to you Matthew. Now people who bet against you (and you turned down early offers of escrow IIRC) are ignorant and greedy?

PIRATE TURNS OUT TO BE...ATLAS
I would lol. They are both from that area. the g-spot? |
|
|
|
|
the only possibility as I see it for matt to win is that pirate actually owes a much smaller amount than everyone assumes. Does anyone actually have concrete data on how much is owed?
|
|
|
|
|
Is matthew still taking bet increases? Closed out several client accounts today. Can transfer to BTC on request though the xfer would take a few days since it isn't on gox already.
1750 BTC

People who aren't willing to roll the dice should stop trolling. You just look like idiots. Put at least some skin in the game if you want to mouth off. it doesn't matter if it's $5 or $5000.

|
|
I just saw the spreadsheet. So the bet has almost doubled in 24 hours? Is this officially a joke or something?
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to up mine by 104.xx (whatever change) if possible.
400 BTC even

this whole episode is really quite brilliant. Pirate played a ponzi scheme COMPLETELY STRAIGHT. It's like he followed a textbook for ponzi schemes. He even exaggerated everything, he called himself a type of robber and offered more ridiculous returns than are possible. And everyone STILL fell for it.
He deserves the money IMO.
|
|
|
|
|
it's even simpler than that.
Let's say that $1 exists and I owe you $2. I can do $1 worth of work for you, then give you the dollar back. Repeat.

I dreamt pirate paid back everyone.  This is why I stopped paying attention to bitcoin last year, takes over my attention span. |
