All these bets are really dumb.
this is not a bet, it is a trade.
It's both. You're betting that your BTC will be worth more than the BCC in the future by doing a 1:1 trade, even though they are currently not worth the same.
It's not like Roger Ver is going to trade absolutely gigantic amounts of BTC for several times less BCC tokens than he could buy at the market price.
stop thinking in fiat terms
I'm not. When the BCC fork happens you will be able to trade it against BTC, and just like how it's worth much less than 1 BTC now, it will be worth less than 1 BTC then. I didn't mention fiat.
try reading the last line I've added to OP.
Of course the current price doesn't matter to
you, because you're getting BTC for several times less than it's worth. You could literally buy loads of BCC on an exchange and then sell it to Roger Ver for four times as much if he took this trade/bet. It's just dumb.
1 unit of bitcoin is 1 unit of bitcoin the same as they say 1 Doge = 1 Doge.
But you are not trading one unit of BTC for one unit of BTC. BCC is created at a 1:1 ratio to BTC using the same blockchain, but it has different features and it was created several years later. They are not the same thing.
also trading (swapping) two tokens will take place 100% decentralized and off the exchange and away from government knowledge.
trading (buying) tokens requires you to go on an exchange deposit fiat and answer to the government later on.
I agree with this part, but the decentralised exchanges being developed still move with the market naturally. They don't put arbitrary prices on things and then pretend that it's a normal trade.
