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.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

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
