All the permabears out there, it's time for you to put your money where your month is, my proposal goes like this:
1. If the MtGox bitcoin price(or whatever market that is the biggest by then) ever goes to below $10 before GMT 00:00 Jan 1st 2014(I intended to say "never", but obviously it's not a usable deadline), I will pay every bear who bets against me 1 BTC.
2. If the same price doesn't go below $10 before GMT 00:00 Jan 1st 2014, every bear who bets against me have to pay me 1 BTC.
3. Every participant has to be at least a senior member of this forum, the deadline for participation is GMT 00:00 Apr 9th 2013.
Your thoughts?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Thought? You won't be able to pay every one back, but good luck, its a very brave bet I figure that the money I make off this rally alone would allow me to buy a huge amount of bitcoins if it ever goes below $10, so either way it's no problem for me. |

This is extremely unfair. If you lose, your maximum loss is 9.9999USD per bet. If you win, your maximum gain is infinity |

whats brave about a bet where if you lose, you pay 10$, if you win, you get 100$?  it would be brave bordering on stupid to accept it. But oak, our bears have no money, market raped them repeatedly. Be kind, don't take whatever small money they may have left from them - it's like tricking children into giving you their candy |

That's exactly what I don't want, make a bet just to win a tiny amount. |

For those who remember how Matthew's 10k BTC (or more? I don't remember) bet went without escrow I encourage you all to use escrow for the bet.

Do you have a link to that bet or any keywords to look for? |

There were a few threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101751.0He later got a scammer tag but it appears that Theymos took it off, after recently returning he's been trying to come into an agreement with people he was owing money to. |

We can sort that out later, but first I need to see people taking the bet. |

I don't expect to see any taker, instead I expect the permabears to"bet or shut up". |

Thanks. Wow what a stupid bet that was. Even assuming he had some reasons to believe in pirate's trustworthiness (which he did not), still idiotic. |

If it ever goes below $10/BTC then I'm buying up 1,000 - 10,000 BTC's, or even 100,000 BTC if price is low enough.
BTC isn't going away.
