Now, that's a more reasonable take on Pascal's wager.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

The solution is simple: Get your head frozen and have this tattoed on your forehead:
In this brain is the seed code for 10btc. Restore me to life and it is yours.
Then when bitcoin will buy entire planets whole civilizations will devote their best scientists to reviving your sorry ass. And when you are revived you give them the 10btc wallet code...
Then walk out with your 100btc wallet code still in your head. And into a bright new future.
It's pretty much foolproof: If bitcoin craters then who wants to be alive for that. And if the world is a crapsack world you just kill yourself again.
...after removing that tattoo from your forehead of course. also assuming the lizards/humans/whatever is here thousands of years from now dont just go digging bodies up and running their brain through the Key-O-Matic-4000 Blend-Tastic and run the juice through their pocket sequencer and pull that seed from your brain juice. then dump the rest of your brain in the compost pile.

37k and hodling
not bad.
$37k won't hold and we all know it. I am having trouble concluding that a mere bouncing around $37k is largely not holding $37k... How much confirmed maths and science do you know? It appears more than you . Confirmed

Actually the headline is incorrect. The number is 500 BILLION. (1/2 TRILLION) Three orders of magnitude higher. Lol-copter. The fact that they are sitting on an amount of CASH that is the size of the ENTIRE NATIONAL DEBT in ~1975. Think about that! All that money we are printing... as we know they are closest to the damn faucet. Cantillon. This makes me remember something I have been thinking about. It's lucky for the bankers that "million, billion and trillion" rhyme. Our brains think of them as analogous to 1, 2 and 3. What's a trillion? Just the 3rd "illion" in a row right? Bigger than a billion, bigger than a million. Here is something I use to snap myself back into perspective. A million seconds ago? Last week. A billion seconds ago? Jimbo was in his 30s somewhere. A trillion seconds ago? ~35,000 YEARS before recorded history. They have a half trillion USD in their reserves. It is both shameful AND embarrassing.

@Dabs:
I side with Jay on the afterlife part. I would even say that the odds of it existing are far fewer than 1%. Perhaps 0+% (the + is for being scientific). As for your bet on it existing or not and where it will land you after you die, it's an interesting argument that many people use (i.e., winning this life vs. an eternal afterlife), but, according to almost all religious texts, this mindset will not land you in a nice place after you die, so you'd better pray there's no afterlife...
Its a little bit more involved than that, I guess you could say it starts with that mindset, until you change your way of thinking and willingness to help other people and your fellow brothers in humanity. Whether the answer is yes or no, I would like to live a life where I am remembered by at least a few that I have had it okay or good or something along those lines. Proof or evidence is a matter of faith. One can not really see it, but either you take the leap or you don't. The mindset I prefer is one stemming from love, not fear. Criminals fear law enforcement. Good people are good just because they feel good when they do good. There comes a time in a man's life where the world has shaken so violently, every tenant of what he previously thought of as talent or even competence melts away. A tragedy so gruesome, a burden so heavy, that the only choices that remain are A.) to have faith in a higher power and place one foot in front of the other in the hopes that benevolent power will see you through to the other side or B.) crumple to the ground and hope death is swift. I am so glad to see that there are so many who have never truly experienced literal Hell... but wisdom dictates that we make efforts not to sever that last lifeline for the sake of those that may need it. True courage is not a lack of fear, but an acknowledgement that there are worse fears possible than the one immediately at hand, and the willful choice to face the immediate as a bulwark against the possible. It is much easier to dismiss the concept of a greater good than to ignore the existence of true evil. But once you've truly grappled with evil, it's impossible to continue forward in a world where one exists but not the other. So as we frolic through these bright days convinced that we have created our own good fortune, let us not forget that true evil does lurk in the shadows. Let us cling to that "less than 1%" just in case, because when the chips are down and at last call Lucifer himself appears to lay down 4 Kings, you just might need that Ace up your sleeve after all.

Definitely. Or maybe they'll use a $5 wrench. But probability of the head ending up in compost pile is like 99%. Then walk out with your 100btc wallet code still in your head. And into a bright new future.
Walk out? On legs? Your head will order new legs on Amazon? Probability: 1%.

From Alcor's site: Hal’s long-stated wishes were to come to Scottsdale once he lost the ability to communicate with family and friends. When that time arrived, he was flown to Scottsdale by air ambulance with his wife, Fran, at his side. Hal and Fran Finney arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona on Tuesday August 26 where Hal was checked into ICU of a hospital near Alcor where the Alcor response team was set-up and waiting.
After the family had a chance to say their goodbyes, Hal’s ventilator was disconnected and he was allowed to breathe naturally, all while medical providers ensured that he had no conscious awareness of the process. Defying doctors’ expectations, he didn’t draw his final breath until 38 hours later, shortly before 9:00 am on Thursday August 28. Immediately after pronouncement of legal death, Alcor’s standby team went into action, restoring circulation, ventilation, administering an array of medications, and initiating external cooling. Cryoprotective perfusion — to eliminate ice formation — has been completed and Hal is now undergoing cool down to -196 degC for long term storage where he be cared for until the day when repair and revival may be possible.
Hal paid for his cryopreservation through a combination of life insurance and bitcoins donated by admirers. His wife, Fran, also has arrangements for cryopreservation. She is glad to have a chance to see him again sometime in the future when they may return in restored and rejuvenated bodies. I guess that's the ultimate kind of "cold storage". I hope he gets "reanimated" soon, although I have my doubts as to whether this is even possible.
