this bet is clearly a ponzi scheme
I'm going to cash out a large proportion of my Bitcoin on the basis this forum's members make crazy reckless financial moves one after the other. I like the concept of Bitcoin but I've got to question if I want my money in the same pool as people like you and the shamefully scammed.
So one of your point of choice for a currency is the IQ or the hair color or whatever of the people using it?

Yes I'm trolling Mathew what you're doing is very astute and good for Bitcoin!
Oh my bad. You're actually trying to argue a point? And your entire point is that somehow this is bad for bitcoin? Please explain, I'll grab popcorn.

This whole bet's gone way beyond madness, it's going to be painful to watch the fallout from this...
You've either got no respect for money or no respect for maintaining your reputation I don't know if I'd think worse of you for paying or being stupid enough to pay such a horrific sum of money on such a mindlessly high bet.
In the highly unlikely event you win (which I think would be impossible for pirate to administrate this late in the game), you've over done it to the point the whole forums going to call shenanigans on you! You've got no way of coming out of this without making a SA of yourself!!

Matthew are you claiming to have 42K BTC?
The scam tag won't hurt more if he doesn't pay 42k than if he doesn't pay 10k, so he can just as well accepting more bets. 
BTW, Matthew is speaking at the Bitcoin conference in London one week after the expiration date on his bet. Will it be a tough crowd?

<_matthew_> Oh look, another genius has a question about my bet. What's it going to be this time-- how do you feel about your bet now? Do you really have the money? How come you didn't use escrow? Do you have insider information? Does knowing how to stick my foot up your ass count as insider information?

Matthew, if possible, please bump me to 5 BTC. Thanks.

Done.
42.5kBTC now.
It's funny that this is getting up to be a significant percentage of the estimated Pirate debt at the time of collapse. Pirate being Matthew's backer would be quite a funny twist; if Pirate has enough BTC left and could afford to buy back enough of his debt at a really distressed rate, he could still make out handsomely on this without being as open to getting in trouble with the law.
It's a chicken-and-egg problem though... Pirate can't pay back all of his debt until Matthew receives the winning funds from winning his bet, but Matthew can't receive the winning funds from winning his bet until Pirate pays back all of his debt. Unless one of them can happen upon a $5M loan, I doubt that it's even a reasonable plan to think about.It's funny that this is getting up to be a significant percentage of the estimated Pirate debt at the time of collapse.

Matthew - up me to 82 BTC please...

Done.
Can someone proxy my bet since Matthew is refusing to take it and then mocking me?
Burn in hell SA troll.
