I don't see how trying to figure out who is backing you, if anyone, or if pirate is going to pay or not will change the outcome of the situation.

Maybe the person Matthew made the bet with is a friend of his.  Maybe a business partner.  Maybe neither party stands to "lose" anything at all.  What would he have to gain?  Publicity.

Like others have said, it strains credulity that anyone would make such a bet.  

I don't know.  It's fascinating to watch all this unfold though.

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. 

Whelp I was wrong..

No backer, just BS.  Embarrassed
