Gee golly! So many newbies with less than 100 posts have such vivid opinions of me!
Um... I already had elitist in the con side of my opinions of you I only signed up recently but I've been reading bitcoin talk for a long time. And it doesn't take anyone but an hour to get a fairly accurate picture of Matthew N. Wright. You wear your heart on your sleeve. It's easy since it's usually two sizes too small. I'm still rooting for all the whos in whoville on September 9 for it to grow three sizes that day.

In the end, when pirate doesn't pay, Matthew will also not pay a single bet.
That will show to team ponzi that they are as gullible for trusting him to pay the bets as pirate investors were on trusting pirate.
That will teach Micon a lesson, that's for sure lol

It's tempting, but I'll wait until the bet is over.

No, not as gullible. Pirate "investors" actually *deposited* their coins. MNW bettors only pledged them in a forum statement.

No, not as gullible. Pirate "investors" actually *deposited* their coins. MNW bettors only pledged them in a forum statement. Gullible and greedy. They didn't deposited, but they entered the bet because they are completely sure they'll win 'cause pirate won't pay up. They are gullible for trusting Matthew will pay up, if you don't understand that, there's nothing I can do for you. Or are you on denial already? It felt good to slap others with their gullibility but you don't like it when you are called out as gullible as them?

It's different, because I don't lose a dime if Matthew doesn't follow through. I'm not trusting him with anything.

I wonder how funny the people who bought PPT bonds on glbse with intention to hedge with Matthew's bet will think it is when he doesn't pay.

Matthew has a reputation that wasn't built by running a Ponzi scheme.

What I'm saying is, I lose zero credibility if Pirate doesn't pay out, whether Matthew pays his bet or not.

That doesn't make you less gullible or greedy... You can say what you want about greed; sure I'd like to be a bazillionsaire, what else is new? I really don't see where gullibility enters the equation. I'd have bet with anybody on this forum, how does that make me gullible?

In the same tone as "pics or it didn't happen"... Escrow or it's not a bet.

And let me tell you, Matt is as gullible as the next guy, because he did just the same thing, trust any of us to pay up if we lose. Except he knows he will not win, so, people who bet him won't need to have the money to pay him. But you and almost everybody believes he will pay. You guys even got satisfied when he moved 10k or 20k BTC from one address to other, despite that being no guarantee of payment. Most of Matt's detractors just kept their mouth shut about his inability to pay after that stunt. Repeat with me: GULLIBLE.

When did that happen?

People need to judge each transaction or offer as an individual entity, otherwise the only thing that the "poop rolling down hill" mob mentality will prove in the end is that bitcoin itself, is nothing more than a huge scam and in turn, a complete failure from an economic standpoint.
Failing to meet one's outstanding obligations because the person above them fails to meet their's is simply not an acceptable excuse. If compounding and domino-effect fallout were to become the community standard, bitcoin as a whole would prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is nothing more than a pyramid scheme, a Ponzi scam and worst of all, completely centralized because of it's up-stream financial dependencies.

I don't really get your argument, or how it makes anyone gullible since they aren't losing anything. I already considered the "teaching a lesson about not trusting people, including matthew", but it doesn't make any sense because the people who took the bet have nothing at stake here, besides their rep on a forum which (for a lot) is probably not worth as much as the bitcoins are. Matthew has a lot more to lose than everyone else does. Also, But you and almost everybody believes he will pay. Most of Matt's detractors just kept their mouth shut about his inability to pay... Which one is it?

If I escrowed the bet, I would have to be at least as "gullible" to trust the person holding the funds. I'm not trusting anyone but me with my bitcoins right now, how the hell does that make me gullible? The point being, my opinion on whether Matthew pays is inconsequential.
