I'm surprised the bets haven't amounted to much.

I'm not.   People are all talk.

Good Micon, well done.   At least you have the courage to back up your convictions.  If only the rest of your mob were the same Smiley

At this time next week, btc will be worth $0.01 after everyone sells off their payout.  He bet a dollar. :-)

Haha, good point Cheesy

I think I'll just mention it again as it's just a  great opportunity to embarrass the shit out of you all.

Micons and drones,  put your money where your annoying, fat mouths are and get a free 10,000btc for your trouble:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101751.0

Can't wait to hear your lame excuses.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I'm giving 100% ROI away to anyone who thinks pirate is a fraud on: August 19, 2012, 09:27:36 PM
Well, good on you Matthew for doing this, but I must say I'm SHOCKED that none of biggest blow hards have even popped their heads in here (Vlad aside, and I assume he's not willing to put his money where his big mouth is as I haven't seen that quoted).

In fact, considering all the people posting about how this is definitely a big scam, I'm SHOCKED that so little have actually taken this bet.

(hint:  I'm not shocked).

Congrats,  you're all pointless keyboard warriors with no courage to back up your convictions.   Fancy that.
172  Economy / Speculation / Re: So what if Pirate does not pay back, he has a full weekend to dump... on: August 19, 2012, 02:43:48 AM
I had a thought.... what if unthinkable happens, miracle of sorts. That anonymous guy who holds right now reportedly 500k BTC of sucker's money will somehow give to those suckers ~600k BTC indeed. Hypothetically speaking. Would I need to apologize? I thought and thought and pondered this unlikely eventuality... and no I will not apologize.

Well maybe, just maybe, I would apologize to some specific person if I really said something real wrong...

Otherwise, hell no! Whatever will happen to the pirates op, tomorrow another anonymous personage starts another ponzi looking op, I will say the same thing again. I have nothing to apologize for in either case, and it is not my mission to please anyone here.


What makes your proof of identity any better than Pirate's?  His name, face, birthdate, and location are all known by me and others who invested.  I know you are a Russian in the UK named Vladimir and that is it.  Don't give me any shit about being well known because pirate is too, just by a different clique.  I don't know any of your contacts.  But I didn't insult your business until I gave you money and was disappointed.

At this point deposits are closed, so you're not saving anyone anymore.

Meh, don't waste your time with him.   One positive thing to come out of all this is that now lot's of people know what sort of person Vlad is, and to never do business with him.   I'm pretty happy with that outcome Smiley
173  Economy / Lending / Re: [Sold] Buy my 229 btc + 17 btc Bitcoin Max account for 220 bitcoins. on: August 19, 2012, 02:39:44 AM
My account is around 950btc with 65 incoming as interest.   Accepting offers Wink

please note also that the "next interest payment" is only an estimate, and will be slightly lower if the account is paid out before the 21:00 mark.


Gotcha.   As I said, I'm not super worried at this stage that Pirate will default, but it's certainly a possibility.  If someone wants to take that risk for me, I'm fine with that.  If not, I'll wait another day or two to see what happens.   At the very least, it's exciting Wink
174  Economy / Speculation / Re: So what if Pirate does not pay back, he has a full weekend to dump... on: August 19, 2012, 02:32:28 AM



At this point, if people lost money, it's their own fault -


And that has always been the case, but it didn't stop you lot rabbiting on about it all day everyday, did it.

The good thing is that we all likely will know rather soon.

In best case scenario I've been completely wrong about all of this all the time, I sincerely hope to be wrong, however unlikely that is.
I'm glad you've said that because the amount of vitriol that has been spread on this forum recently has suggested that some people actually want this to be a ponzi - if only to be right.



They do.  A lot of people have shown their true colours throughout all this.   Sorry excuses for human beings, and they can go jump as far as I'm concerned.

I, too, will be pushing pretty hard for some public apologies from these people should Pirate come through (not to me, I couldn't care less what these pricks think, but to pirate first and foremost and then everyone else they've been complete shits to for the past months).
So I take it you'll be making an apology if it turns out we were right all along?

Well, to certain people, perhaps.  That said, I never once professed to understanding what Pirate has been doing, and I've never said "it's not a ponzi", nor have I attempted to get anyone else to invest with Pirate (as I've always said, what a person does with their own money is their own choice).

My issue throughout all this is the absolutely disgusting way your lot have gone about their little crusade.   It wasn't enough to simply state that you thought investing with Pirate was a bad idea, instead it was just thread after thread after thread, all spouting the same crap, and getting very hostile with people who disagreed with you.   To those people, and it's the majority, no I won't be apologising.  Those people are on ignore, and will stay that way as they're not worth my time.

To the very few who were civil and normal about all this, I'll happily apologise to if they so desire (even considering my first sentence above).  That does NOT include Vlad, Micon, hgmichcahh (whatever), Vandroiy. smoothie and I'm sure plenty more I can't think of right now.  Those people are pretty disgusting excuses for human beings.
178  Economy / Lending / Re: Bryan Micon's List of BTC Ponzi Schemes that should not be listed as "Lending" on: August 18, 2012, 11:53:43 PM
Some1 plz explain to me what this Pirate-based mining software this is:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55819.0   what could a dishonest operator do with what appears to be many clients?

It's a coin laundry that exchanges old coins (at least some clearly coming from BS&T) for freshly minted ones from various pools, paying some extra for it.

It can be used as a smoke-screen to hide activity and as a source of untraceable coins.
oh wow, can we get an asshat or dishonest or something tag for this guy?

He already has an unofficial asshat tag from most on the forum.   He should be down about $50,000 shortly as well, so that'll be nice Smiley
179  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: The sorry and thank you Pirateat40 thread on: August 18, 2012, 11:45:44 PM


Yeeeeah, I'll apologise if people get paid back  Wink

Good, thanks.
180  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: The sorry and thank you Pirateat40 thread on: August 18, 2012, 11:42:21 PM
why should I or anyone else apologize for telling you that you're an idiot. After all, you still are - just an idiot that got lucky.

To answer your question, you should apologize because you and people like you blew up the forums with caustic comments and ceaselessly annoyed hundreds of users. You degraded the quality of support threads such as Bitcoinmax's, in defiance of fellow forum members' pleas to confine your speculations to other threads that were dedicated to being bearish on Pirate. Furthermore, several members of Team Ponzi embarked on a campaign of character assassination against well-regarded members of the community. And you were wrong. That's why you should apologize. But seeing as most members of Team Ponzi have demonstrated their lack of class and good manners, I don't expect many apologies to be forthcoming.

Claims that you were "just trying to help" people not get scammed are also disingenuous. If you were such a nice guy who cared about people's welfare, you wouldn't act like such an asshole towards them. To see how to offer criticism with grace, class and wit, read Gavin's comments on the matter. You were not trying to help people; you were trying to boost your ego and lord your smug superiority over all the "idiots," who are clearly your inferiors.



Agreed,  well said.
