I object to this agreement on the grounds it's for pokemon cards.
Too funny. Yeah I would have kept this deal private. Nothing wrong with a 90s kid who never got to collect them all, finally trying to complete his collection from when he was 10 Awww

44 BTC 1DUpU9sz9x9k6eMwjUjs2gGHA2xeyLTPvh I need to hedge vs a default. Hopefully you can waive the post count requirement. FWIW, I do have OTC feedback, which I value. Let me know if you accept this bet to save me the hassle of an escrow. Thanks. Accepted.

When you are asking for loans like pirate was. It is your duty to prove what the funds are being used for. Not the other way around. To suggest otherwise is absurd. The very nature of a (successful) ponzi is that there isn't any evidence, otherwise it would never succeed. When things are so likely to be true, we have to accept them as truths at some point. Gravity for example, prove it, or it's not real. Using your logical that is a sound statement. Give me a fucking break.
I don't know who you're talking to, but I never said we should invest in pirate. In fact, I've -only- ever said he's extremely high risk, would never recommend it, and absolute hate companies lacking any transparency whatsoever. That said, just because we don't know what's happening doesn't mean it is a scam with 100% certainty, and accusations should be made accordingly. Asking questions, presenting theories, advising others, it's all extremely important as a community. Know what's not important? Segregation, lynch mobbing, harassment, overly aggressive and abusive behavior, etc. When people learn how to talk, other people will know how to listen.

140BTC 14gK1vo2ofFTMu8DBHPyi5MvB8baY6gDo7 thanks for accepting this ;-)
Good luck on winning as I have placed a bet for 50% of my exposure to pirate, therefore I get the same whether pirate defaults or not.
thanks
Accepted.

Do you know what it's like to work with people who call your friends "Shills" and "scammers" because they made an investment into something? Good god.
If your friends behave like shills and scammers this is what you get. Is it coming as surprise at all? Define "behaving like shills"? Investing in pirate? .. and promoting his op at every opportunity without disclosing own interest. Or do you define this as being a paragon of virtue? Pics or it didn't happen lol

I already made my bet and I'm not having second thoughts about that. Any way this turns out I think the odds are against you, Matt.
But I don't understand your angle at all. Why do you want to make this kind of bet? It absolutely would make sense if you had inside information about Pirate being legit but somehow I don't think that's likely. It's as if you are making the bet and (likely) throwing away your money just to make the statement that you don't like people calling in question other peoples schemes that are very likely fraudulent. Why is this?
What's wrong in pointing out that from very early on, the most likely explanation for how BST works has been a ponzi scheme?
Because people were not saying "most likely" QFT. Lynch mobs, fights, and discommunications from groups I'm in were starting to happen because people were taking sides on the issues when neither side even has proof. Do you know what it's like to work with people who call your friends "Shills" and "scammers" because they made an investment into something? Good god.

You're not asking people just to gamble on pirate, you're also asking them to gamble on the honesty of PPT operators...
Stick to a simple bet.
He already made that bet, maxed it even!

In forex it is possible to earn 1-2% daily interest if you are a very good daytrader.
That is a myth perpetuated to lure in fresh meat that is required to feed the brokers. (coz those who were lured in earlier are chewed and thrown out by now). It is true! Ask Maria... Yeah, what happened to maria? She used to be so vocal on the forums but i somehow lost track of what went on. Banned. With a vengeance.

hmmm maybe it is pirate..
He said this in IRC:
"17:45 * pirateat40 must say that he owns 50% of _matthew_'s betting fund"
Post it in context. He was joking because people were trolling about it. I'm not a liar. I've already explained that I have nothing to do with him.

increase if it is still allowed: 250BTC 1EzdZBu6DJUqScXFbRYbTXPqTcXNAUKAxc this makes this the biggest bet of the year for me, eclipsing my bet on Jorge Lorenzo to win the motogp championship For the record I think you're crazy Matt. If you win I won't be left with many bitcoins, but I'll consider that the bitcoin community pulled through to be consolation. Best of luck everyone, but SOMEONE is going to end up unhappy no matter what happens. Crazy times. Acknowledged. Here is my bet:
50 BTC 1KCJJg2AZEPod1UvGeA64JASyYJ3XTM4Zm
Pending approval.

Matthew:
To increase the lulz factor of this thread, could you please update the first post (or another post, whatever) from time to time with the total amount of all bets you have accepted?
I am doing it already in #bitcoin. I don't think it's necessary to do it in the thread. I want to surprise everyone when it hits 10,000BTC. Yeah, it'd be good to see who owes what actually. Might make things easier later on.
There are some private wagers who want to be private, mostly because they are embarrassed pirate investors who want to hedge. For that reason I can't.

Matthew, please increase my earlier wager to:
250BTC 18pChH7Mf8DjP5Vxxva8R4UxRT22eMZd2j "Only Live Once"
Yessir!

Paraipan, I thought that for a couple of days. When I got around to reading some from Matthew, Goat, Pirate, and others, I have come to disagree.
Yeah and we should believe you. Now i remember why I had you on ignore, for "defending" me like you did when I complained against bitcoinica, honestly @mattew to me you don't have to prove anything, I was trolling your thread a little with my morning coffee, sorry, I will be around You just reinstilled my faith in why I made this bet in the first place. Good on you mate. Cheers. Matthews either got stones like trombones or some inside info but either way this just makes things more interesting Cheesy
i will raise my stakes to 250 from 100
