Here is another way to look at it: Would you to pay $10 out of your pocket to destroy $4990 of someone else's money?

The example above would be considered cruel by some. Yet the same people would argue that declining the deal in the first post is perfectly ethical.

That's not a good analogy. In this case, they know that their money hinges upon you accepting the offer. Offering an unequal distribution carries a higher risk of rejection, but higher potential for reward.

I don't see the problem with the analogy. In both cases, you are net $10 worse off and the other person is $4990 worse off. The ethics of the transaction are all a matter of perspective.

Eventually deflation will calm down and not double value overnight

I agree that the deflation will eventually calm down. The real question is: will the appreciation simply level off, or will there be a massive correction first?

I used to play many years ago. I still read the daily articles on the wizards site though.

It just doesn't feel like there are enough BTC users to support a craigslist style site. But it has to be made sometime. I do like that it offers the option to find things in cities near you. Whereas http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/ trades can only really be done by mail or electronically.

2000btc is 17,000 dollars.
Are you sure you wanna set the pool THAT high?

I vote for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Sounds good during first-last name introductions.
Spells WTF
and Tango isnt a bad middle name, it'd basically be your new nickname

Well, I wouldn't change my name for any less. Would you perhaps be willing to change your name for less?  Grin
