@RogerVer lets make a deal. At least 60k, my BTU for your BTC.

With that kind of money, why would you not simply cash out, retire, and enjoy everything the world has to offer? Instead, you leverage your millions to prove a point? I don't get it.

The answer to this question lies in your reply itself,he can choose what he wants with his assets and so is the reason he chooses to leverage his millions to prove a point ,there wont be a substantial response from Roger and he wont accept the challenge because he knows he will loose in the end,but will talk his way out for sure.

I thought the bet was simply "my bitcoin unlimited for your btc in a chain split - at least $60M"
But now seem's "as long as no more development happens that enables safe activation" Looking like an opt out for loaded?
(like hayek say's above - "my BTU for BTC 1:1 if there is a fork.", no mention of no more development, just a fork?)

Who would have expected Roger to even entertain this $60m "bet"? I didn't. But he has said he is. A $60m+ Core Bluff being called?
If i was at the poker table at this point, i would either fold or raise, not call.

Knowing i will turn my hand into the nuts if bitcoin unlimited activated with *enough hash power (*explained in above posts) ,
and a split pot if never activated below that threshold, a raise is on the cards.

Loaded (core) supporters already calling Roger out for backing down, (while changing their terms?), before Roger even returns - after stating his interest?
Give a little respect?

I await Rogers response. Loaded's clarification on this (added?) "BU as is now" clause would also be nice?

Are you a companion fish ITT?

Really hoping Ver will actually come out and accept this deal, it'll really show that he believes in the chance for BTU to survive and it will provide a good amount of confidence in the rest of the people who are skeptical on which scaling solution to actually back.

Highly doubt he is going to though, as it's an insane amount of money to put forward on something like this. Plus, I highly doubt Ver believes this much in BTU's chance of survival and value after hard fork (if that occurs that is)

Who wouldn't want to do this, gosh? BTU is a bit out their on their solutions too, Segwit plz help.

If only... 1:1 is a bargain. I seriously doubt we'd see that.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain it won't be 1:1. LOL!

Why not? If Roger is serious, he will make the trade straight up, no reason not to.

Willing to trade my $BTC for $BTU, at a rate of 0.9 $BTC for every one of my $BTU.

Really, I'll take that trade, assuming you want BTU? I can find escrow.

[Quickseller]

If it pressures BU to make improvements, I reserve the right reevaluate the transaction. Win because at least the combined value will be higher.

I would not take this deal. This clause essentially allows you to back out of the deal if, closer to an actual fork it is clear that BU will be superior to Core, and does not allow Ver a similar out.

You are basically asking for a free put option on BU.

No worries, got me excited there for a second.

As much as people hate on BTU, there's a risk of the chain surviving. Exchanging your coins for one chain is a high risk move that could leave you penniless.

Their may be a correlation between people that own crypto and are willing to take risks..
Maybe because investing in any of this could leave you penniless..

Like the OP and Ver, sitting on that much BTC, that's a massive risk right there by itself..
I think us bitcoiners are risk takin dudes in general..

BTCU is all just a joke to milk , its simple as long the statusquo stays the fee will go up.
Current fee is $300.000 a day ,
miners will get more. and Roger ver is a paid chill.  
As trace mayer says let them slip NOW.... BTU will fail before the first coin is confirmed!
Loaded should invest in miningpool for seqwit
THE SPLIT WILL NEVER COME BECAUSE IT WILL KILL BU INSTANDLY.
So what loaded can do is buy ver and wu in to segwit.

RHavar and I have finalized the terms of our bet and dooglus has kindly accepted to serve as escrow.  Here are the details for those who are interested:

Am I the only one who assumes Roger will make this exchange into a financial write off or used for at least a tax advantage?

Yes because no one believes any of this will happen. Ver is a deceitful lair.

I missed one.  Nonetheless here are post after post of carlton banks repeating and copy/pasting the same question over and over.  I kept explaining I don't agree with the premise so I cannot properly address the question.  But Carlton doesn't understand what a premise is.  He doesn't know what the word means and so he keep repeating the question.

Carlton is dumb and ignorant.  Not educated.  We need to keep the discussion to include people that at least have hope of contributing or gaining from it.

Carlton is a shitdiot.

Also I had a post deleted in that thread because it was apparently a derail when I simply confirmed that a poster had said something intelligent.  Who the fuck is the mod that deleted my post and ignored this fucking retard? Who is the idiot mod?

MODS WTF IS THIS IDIOT ALLOWED TO POLLUTE A SIGNIFICANT AND INTELLIGENT THREAD WITH REPEATED COPY PAST SHIT POSTS AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO AFFIRM AN INTELLIGENT POSTER'S RESPONSE?!!!!

jonald_fyookball you are a moron that speaks about things you know nothing about
