He must be appreciating all the attention he got... reading and reading about himself lol
Of course he is and we are all stroking his ego. |

That's a question I had. Are the bitcoin police pursuing pirate? That's what I'd like to know.
If you're being sarcastic, I'll respond by saying that the larger investors in his scheme certainly should be pursuing him. If you're not being sarcastic, I don't have an answer. I'm serious. They do exist. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_PoliceI saw a thread here about their involvement in the JRO case. |

So why he may not have any credibility he is obviously crazy like a fox. He did have some credibility before this. He was eccentric but sometimes a venture need an eccentric but passionate person. Who knows?? He was on my ignore list until all this bet stuff started blowing up. I just find all this redirected pirate anger quite fascinating. |

By the way, what's with your obsession with short consonant groups?
Acronyms, nimda. BCB is my nic. VIP the board gave me for a contribution. CTG PT and STG were me just testing those fields in my profile and I never bothered to remove them. |

The ones i've seen are incredibly boring and amateur. Obvious starved for attention. Which he is getting plenty of here. So why he may not have any credibility he is obviously crazy like a fox.

[quote pyramid removed]
Did you make a bet with matthew? Did you give him credibility at that time of that bet. If so that I would have to question your judgement. If not why are you defending those who did.
I made a bet with matthew. I gave him credibility because: - He was a staff member
- He was well-known and a long-standing member of the community
- He was editor in-chief of Bitcoin Magazine
- He had not yet passed his 10K goal when I made the bet
He lost credibility (for me) when: - He continued accepting bets beyond the 10K goal
- He continued accepting bets when it was clear pirate was running
- He continued accepting bets outside of the original thread
Question away. I've seen his youtube channel. He never had any credibility with me. |

Did no one view his youtube channel. How could anyone give that guy credibility.

I'm still agonizing over which is funnier... watching the entire spreadsheet worth of bettors get pantsed in public, or the outcry over it.
If anyone who had an IQ reaching into double digits did any background on Matty, and his Hilarious Horde of Hijinks you would have known good and early that this would turn out to be a spoof, a canard, a bon geste. You have all been made out to look as foolish as online personas can possibly be, and every single bettor who lined up for this abuse looks about as intelligent as the losers on To Catch A Predator, who stand there dumbfounded, wondering why they aren't screwing a 14 year old hottie, and they are being grilled on TV instead.
I would imagine the only remorse Matt has is that it fell on the 9th of September, and not the 1st of April.
What a boatload of buffoons! Quick, back into your clown car and go chasing after the next great scheme... you know they next one has to be real...
This needs to stay...too good not to quote. What abuse exactly? those who made bets lost nothing. Matthew received a scammer tag. Bad trolls need to stay home. I'll say it again. Many people used the bet as a hedge; this usage was actually encouraged. Matthew had an undeniable amount of credibility at the time. I bet (heh) that people did lose money.
1. Investor notices the bet thread
2. Investor notices TYGRR-BOND-P is trading at 0.1 BTC
3. Investor buys 1 share
4. Investor bets 1 BTC
5. MNW exposes the "loophole"
6. Investor is forced to sell his share again, at a loss of 0.04 BTC.
Just because MNW didn't gain doesn't mean others didn't lose. If I break your window, neither of us gain. I'd still be an asshole though, especially if there's no recourse you have against me.

So the scammer tag is speculative, not clearly defined and assigned on a case by case basis.
Right. Thank you. |

How can it be argued that taking almost 1 million $ in bets without any initial intention to pay in case of a loss is not scamming ?
Sorry but all those people, matthew, amir, patrick, donald, pirate etc. are giving an awful image of bitcoin and the facts that these behavior are semi tolerated is awful as well.
Bitcoin needs one things it is trust and some form of regulation.
Good point DarkEmi Do those users you mention have scammer tags? I guess they didn't ask for one. |

Ok,
So he was labeled a scammer not because he didn't pay his, but because he asked to be labeled a scammer.
So if someone makes a bet, then doesn't pay, but DOES NOT ask to be labeled a scammer, will that person also get a scammer tag?
It is a question that has not been answered in spite of all the responses inciting FUD.
You're not gonna get answers based on hypothetical situations with no information provided, sorry. Thanks BadBear So the scammer tag is speculative, not clearly defined and assigned on a case by case basis. Thanks. I'm not in charge of scammer tags, I'm just saying making up hypothetical situations and expecting a serious answer is kinda dumb. I'm simply asking for bitcointalk.org's definition of a scammer. It's a legitimate question. If that doesn't exist that's fine. Maybe we should wait for Theymos to weight in, if he chooses to do so. Thx. |

Ever calculated how much power the creation of one block costs?
There are any number of actually usefull stuff that will be used for barter, like food and water.
People trying to do bitcoin in such a situation will most likely severely hamper their chances to survive.
Remember, this is the apocalypse. People rioting and stuff.
FIRST concern is staying alive.
Bitcoin will have exactly zero purpose in a sociatal apocalypse.
^this I will want something of value to other people, i.e. gold, silver. I won't want your fucking electronic coins. People are so delusional. If the shit does hit the fan BTC will be worthless. Now excuse me, I have to learn how to bash a deer's head in with a rock because I bought bitcoins instead of a gun. Try using two fairly large rocks with the head in between. That might work with a fish but not with a deer. |
