Nobody is really shorting bitcoins...

if bitcoin would go considerably lower than now after a 9 months decline and the paypal news i'd consider it failed and move to the next coin with lower inflation, really.

Freakin' inflation killed it.

Buy some Uno, they got the inflation-part right. It can replace bitcoin any day. Not a problem. Cut the freakin' inflation.

Lower than 300$ --> dump it, never look back. Wait for the halvings. Till 2016 it'll be back to 50$ or 10$ then. Hold some Uno to save your day.

And the alternative is.... Unobtainium?

Hit the magical ignore button and OP will be gone shortly. The more you reply, the more food you give to the troll. Discussion about the matters he brings up is pointless since he can't even make a point.

well, if it would have been uno in the situation of bitcoin with same amount of total coins but different rewarddecrease we would probably be now in a bullmarket since mid-summer and at 2000$ a coin. Just sayin'. Bitcoins inflation sucks ass right now.

Edit: Following was the PM: Since it expcilitly allowed me to post the decision i went for the full quote.

I can think of two ways to interpret your bet. First, that bitcoin is at or above $500 on december 31 2015. Second, that bitcoin hits $500 at any point before that. I don't care which it is, you can choose. Please post your decision in the thread.

I will choose option 1. At that date a tranfser will be initiated.
I will gladly perfom a transfer to a owned address with a message of your choise (please nothing illegal!) to prove i am in possesion of a bitcoin. I would like some kind of proof that is its reasonable to assume you can uphold your end of the bargain as well. Can be per PM.

Edit: Added above edit notice.

I don't need proof. In the event of your loss, whatever happens on your end will be proof enough. As for my proof, here is one of my public keys: 1kGPm64ErfBWBnfaGXnZtFaRhJuWiZiUY.

Additionally, I live in Denmark. A week or so on the public teat would satisfy my end of the bet.

Geez, completely forgot about this bet. Looks like everything happened as expected.
