Yes! That's the spirit! We need full on government enforcement! Arrest him! Theymos says he's a scammer, so it must be worth a good life sentence in prison! ROFL.

You guys crack me up. The next few weeks of regular posting on the forums is going to be a riot. I look forward to it.

Oh come now. Theymos allows ponzi schemes on the forum, then gets miffed when people don't read the bet their agreeing to in my thread? The double standard is twice as hilarious as the "scammer" tag. I'll wear it with pride. Remember, remember, the 9th of September. (And to everyone who dared to say that people were "stupid" and "ruining bitcoin" by investing into Pirate, you may now eat your socks for complaining about losing this bet)

Me too! I'll be happy to sign anything you want too.

Interesting. Tell me more...

Citation needed.

As much as I'd like to agree with you on -something-, you're looking like the person this bet was for so I guess I better let you go through the butthurt process alone. Thanks for participating!

I already paid 20 BTC for each entry as described in the bet thread. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

No, I'm pretty sure if anyone is learning a lesson right now, it's the loud mouths who were attacking Pirate investors for being "ignorant". I guess they too are getting a dose of their own medicine!

According to which law? I paid already. Please see earlier posts. Thanks!

It's not Vladimir's call. I already replaced myself as Editor-in-Chief 2 months ago. Just waiting on them to formally sign in.

Sorry mate, as much as I'd love to agree with you and all, I'll have to call bullshit on this one. I paid the bet already as described in my thread. On top of that, are you saying if I wouldn't have made this bet, everyone would magically have subscribed?

I look forward to more accusations and butthurt, but it's pretty late here. Let the trolling begin! I have a big day of work tomorrow in various companies that no one even knows I'm involved in apparently. ROFL.

Unfortunately, it's not "my magazine". Not sure how many times I'll need to correct that in the future. Please boycott Dove soap since I wash my buttcrack with that

What difference would my bet make to your magazine? I must be missing something.

As per my thread bet rules, I am posting double the amount that people wagered.

Thank you everyone for participating in this bet. It has certainly been a fun 3 weeks! Cheers.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this bet. It was a great social experiment for me to find out who my true friends were, and also to entertain the community (which is my true purpose on these forums and always will be). Unfortunately, it looks like I lost the bet. This means I'll need to pay out exactly as described in my original thread OP.

Many of the people betting were very careful to point out that others were ignorant and foolish to invest their money into Pirate without doing due diligence beforehand, so far as to call them shills, suckers, etc. This leads me to believe that the individuals betting in my bet are very wise with their money and would only bet if they carefully read and understood the rules of the bet. For this reason, I am confident that the very wise individuals betting in this thread will be satisfied with the very literal interpretation of my thread.

I will begin paying for my losses as outlined in the following rule:


I'll begin processing the payouts for each of the 112 betters in this spreadsheet immediately: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajtx05YrHtIydFVHcGxLOExTbnhqajJLZmlSZUNtM3c&pli=1#gid=0

Please make sure to following along for your own record keeping purposes. I will update this thread with each payment as well. Thanks again!

Indeed. If I lose the bet, it would take a bit of time, but not too much. Don't forget it's almost 1am here.

Interesting. I'd like to hear more about #3. How does that one work?

Shhh. You'll ruin the surprise.

Got that right, and not just scammers. Tinfoil hatters need look no further than the mirror for the natural enemy.

Me too
