Think about it. He get's to keep the half million and pays out the 10k to the "told you so"s.

Perfect symmetry.

Thanks for the good idea! I'm gonna ask him if he's interested.

UPDATE: He declined and no action has happened since I asked. I guess he's not interested in backing up my silly bets.

It has to be a pirate supporter, but I don't think it would be pirate himself..

My first thought was insider info. Typical bitcoin antics.

I think Matthew is smarter then to risk 10k btc or being labeled a scammer for alltime.  Even on insider info (it can be very wrong you know Wink)

He has a backer.

Nope. I would never invest in pirate. I will invest -against- loud mouthed idiot cowards though, any day of the week.

Ballsy but respectable.

Hardforks aren't that hard. It’s getting others to use them that's hard.

Maybe he has a bet for 50kBTC running that those fucking cowards would not even bring the 10k... would be interesting what the real cut-off condition with his partner is.

Good move, and quite obvious if he is really going to pay.
If not, it would be a double scam.
