Discussion about 10,000BTC Bet (Official)

[Matthew N. Wright]

Ah. A new strategy. I am almost certain that the constant barrage of insults and such will force him to stick around here and pay everyone.

I love the tactics. Keep them up

Hehe. You don't get it do you? I'm letting them dig themselves deeper in their accusations because it will make proving them wrong so much sweeter. Even people like DeathAndTaxes whom I normally would think as intelligent seems to have been reduced to a barking dog. Tgey actially think I'm worried. Trust me, the popcorn supply is abundant on my side.

Hurry up everyone! Only 15 hours left to get your opinions onto the internet before your asses are handed to you!

No digging here..just watching now. I gotta go buy some popcorn though shit...lol...i'm out

Well, so be it.

I for one would LOVE to see everyone's bet money, waiting to pay Matthew.
I would also LOVE to see who has WHAT at stake, out of everyone commenting here.

Most of the people that took the bet with Matthew couldn't pay on the spot, even if they wanted to.

Most of the outspoken people, on the Pirate situation, don't even have an iron in the Pirate Fire......

PATHETIC.

I'm surprised all those people lost money and no one has the FBI on pirates tail...it's a crime across many state borders I'm sure!

Oh, and I only put up BTC5...not because I couldn't have bet 100x more, but I felt guilty taking advantage of someone who seems a bit idealistic, naive, and mathematically inept...but generally a darn decent fella who happens to get stuff done for Bitcoin...

I appreciate the accurate profile (including math herp derp). I wonder how long it will take the trolling sockpuppets to realize I'm not leaving anywhere irregardless of the outcome of the bet.

There's no point. The court of Bitcointalk.org will take care of it. 

Bitcoin is imaginary World of Warcraft Gold...remember ?

"Accusations" made purely of quoting his own words? How do you "prove someone" who was just quoting you wrong? I knew he was incredibly ignorant and delusional, but I didn't realize he was this stupid.

I've only been around bitcoin land since july. The drama is just too funny, and never ending.

Hell yeah.

It won't work then. Me and a few other people need to have a sense of humor for it to work. The rest can keep flinging feces at each other over imaginary coins, and due dates.  

It reminds me of nerds passionately arguing over a game of magic or D&D.

You're gonna use your elf spell #43! That's cheating! You're gonna cheat! I'm not playing anymore! MOMMMMYYY! SCAAAMMMM rofl

[bitlane]

I just really wanna get paid....

[finkleshnorts]

I just really wanna get laid....

ftfy

[bitcoinBull]

Are you guys really gonna split hairs over a few hours? The payments are either gonna happen or not. Half a day or so isn't gonna change the outcome. This pettiness is just gonna leave the winner unpaid.

Matt was never going to pay anyone and he was never going to win.  Changing the deadline is just smoke and mirrors.

Trolloollloolloool.  Keep the drama going as long as possible.  In 8 hours or 17 hours or 47 hours he will have some other excuse as to why the bet isn't "yet" decided.

Read between the lines and you can pretty much figure out how MNW plans to pay. There are many possible sources for 50k BTC. And obviously GPUMax bitcoin magazine plays a role. Do you have ANY EVIDENCE that MNW won't give away 100% of pledges??

[Hexadecibel]

So where is this IRC log where you changed the deadline? Is Theymos's judgment solely based on the original bet's thread?

It doesn't matter....its 8 more hours than was stated. It will be here soon enough.

[bitlane]

What does everyone have planned for their winnings ?

As I secretly bet under a few alternate, or sockpuppet accounts and proxies, I am looking forward to getting paid well over 5,000 BTC.

[1l1l11ll1l]

Is it stated anywhere how long the losing side has to complete payments?

[1l1l11ll1l]

Isn't the pay by date exactly 1 hour after the date and time the Romney campaign has to pay out?

Connecting the dots....
