Already been done, I remember a picture with an arcade machine running what probably was mame, and you were able to pay and play games on it, it had the street fighter cabinet, I will try to find the picture.

Edit: Anyway couldn't find that one but I have found this:

Jesus Christ, this gets more and more surreal every day I wake up after the incident, it's like new stuff gets discovered that points to a massive, almost genius hoax, too bad he didn't tie all the clues because this could have been absolutely epic, well he got pretty far to be honest, tricked a lot of people the first hours.

I find it hilarious when some people would get pissed off at the fact that you wouldn't use your Bitcoin frequently for transactions and just hoard. It's like they want to tell you what to do your money, when the fundamental point of Bitcoin is precisely this fredoom to do whatever you want.

Nonetheless I still believe in a worldwide accepted Bitcoin that success to scale to global levels, we should aim for that in any case.

Even if Bitcoin could solve the debt problem, there's nothing that can avoid a big crash.. to adopt a new system the old one has to crash no matter what. There is no magic formula that will save us from the collapse, other than being part of an actual alternative system such as having your wealth on Bitcoin and gold.

I still can't understand how people fail to realize the fact that market volatiltiy is a given and this insane market volatility will keep happening because we are still in the early days, the marketcap is tiny and any amount of money coming in can have a change in price. This would be good news to anyone with a long term vision.

Pretty much monthly. I use my salary to edge against fiat, so dollar cost averaging monthly and as high as possible, for months now. Every month that you don't make any Bitcoin is a waste of time, it will only keep getting harder and harder to get the same amounts so im taking advarnage of the stagnant price for as long as possible, will keep buying even on the uptrends.

It's funny because I just made a thread practically saying that it's pretty much 50/50 and it would require a big amount of faith to believe that he is the real deal. I pulled the statistic out of my ass (50/50 is just how I feel about this) and apparently prediction markets say the same.

More mainstream-ish magazines are catching up and reporting on the holes that the Craig Wright = Satoshi Nakamoto theory has. I can't believe people would be as gullible as believing it 100% without considering all of the dodgy stuff that just wouldn't up. If you are skeptical and need facts it's impossible to claim that the guy is Satoshi, at this point I think the theory is pretty much dead unless we see further proof.

From the Alex Jones/David Icke type of crazy conspiracy theories, the most beautiful one and my favorite is still the time traveler theory, where someone send by someone in the future, bring is this knowledge, so the source can never be quite fully pointed to no one.

I would like that he used the signature, but the guy may not be using it in purpose just to leave the craig thing open, just like he didn't necessarly use his signature to claim that he wasn't dorian. I kinda like it, because it's like an open ending, the speculation will go on forever.

I would like to have a list on the side that lets you add friends, like some sort of steam type of friend list where you can see if people you know are online, also the possibility to create passworded rooms so you can bet with your friends only.

No, but they can create their own altcoins under the Bitcoin blockchain in sidechains, that's as close as it would get to Bitcoin replacing the dollar, but even in this case it would benefit Bitcoin itself greatly, the price would x10000000000.

Not buying back in 2009. I remember I saw some news about it in around that year, or maybe 2010, the thing is it was really, really cheap, but it was so primitive that I still had no clue in how to get them and became lazy with the idea of researching if further.

I've had a couple of dreams involving satoshi, I think the fact that no one knows for certain who is get's in your psyche somehow. I've also had some dreams involving looking at my wallet and seeing a lot of money that came out of nowhere, only to find out later im still broke as I wake up and check my actual balance.

This guy delivers a reasonable analogy:


Like let's say you compress a file with a version of 7zip that hasn't even been released yet, yet you claim you used this version back in the time when it didn't even exist. He was using software that doesn't match the date of existence of said software... that would be a simple explanation. But this is even worse since are talking PGP keys.

Check my latest thread on this. Evidence points at a dead end where you either believe Craig Wright had access to a time machine and had access to AI, or you don't. To believe he is satoshi, you must believe those too first. It's pretty much over for Wright at this point.

Checkmate Mr Wright.

This is pretty much it. You can fool Wired, but you ain't fooling the G.
This guy just got exposed as a ridiculous ego-maniac with an elaborate hoax. He pretty much fits the persona of smart enough to pull such a hoax, ego big enough to want all the attention to go through all those lengths to get the hoax going, yet not smart enough to be Satoshi.

I updated the thread saying that you have to state the value of Bitcoin in USD because otherwise it's not possible to know how impressive the bet was since if Bitcoin was really cheap, it's not as exciting. To put things in context we need how valuable BTC was in fiat I think.

I've seen some threads of similar fashion but no one asks the following:

What was the bet that delivered the biggest gains, while risking the smallest amount of money? I remember a bet that was something like 20$ and the guy hits the jackpot and wins 15 BTC, $5000 at the time, it was in bitcoinvideocasino.

What is the biggest win with the smallest risked money that you know?

PS: Please state the value of Bitcoin in USD at the time because otherwise you can't know the context of the win.

Yep it should be taken into account the fact that since BTC price fluctuates a lot, in the early days someone could have made a bet of 1 million Bitcoins and it wouldn't be impressive since back then Bitcoin was pretty much a cent of a cent of a dollar. What I would like to know is the smallest bet with the biggest return but that's for another thread, in fact I will make one asking this right now.
