What is the biggest bitcoin related mistake you have made, why did you make it, and would you unmake it if at all possible?

Trusting people too eagerly. Opportunity. No, it's what made me who I am so I must embrace it.

do you think the FED putting pressure on governments to "crack down" on bitcoin is inevitable if the project gains any sort of real traction (like 100$ a coin)?

They're already sending out their surrogates to do hamfisted and poorly constructed powerpoint presentations to banking conferences. I think this is already being manifested because it's seen such stability at 10 dollars.

What question would you most liked to be asked, and what would the answer to that question be?

"Where do I send the 10,000BTC?"
"My BitStamp account, the only exchange I like these days."

#13 Why did you "really" create this thread?

To have a place for trolls to gather for the impending storm of FUD regardless of what side wins the bet. This community is rather drolly predictable afterall.

#11) So you were home-schooled?

If you call your parents neglecting your education amd restricting you from educational activities because "God" as being homeschooled, then yes. I would better equate it to jail.

Gah, that sucks. I was homeschooled myself, although at the other end of the spectrum: hippie parents who didn't do much more than give me a math textbook to work through. One of the best things they ever did for me.

#10 If you win the bet, what percent of 10k btc would you expect the losers to actually cough up? (the remainder getting scammer labels). This question gauges your comparative trust between pirate and generic forum members.

No comment on number. I trust the betters more than porate however, as I know many of them.

Will you please list all your sockies?

Alpaca or wool? (all kidding aside, I do not engage in sockpuppetry. For better or worse, immature or educated, my opinions are mine and I own them.

How will humanity break free from the bonds of false authority and begin to engage the universe with a reality based society and a resource based economy, and how does Bitcoin Magazine help accelerate this process?

Bitcoin. And, bitcoin magazine is going to be one of eight major key points of adoption the way I see it. Regardless of what some people think about "niche, deadtree publications", legitimate currencies must have representation outside of mere hobbyist blogs.

Why is your Internet Honor/ forum rep worth 10,000btc to you? Or, to clarify, Why wouldn't you cut and run if you lose?..we are talking about a shitload of money on a gamble with strangers.

I have holdings and deep involvement in too many businesses in bitcoin to ever walk away. I'm long. Uber long. It's about much more than a forum rep, and I've never even attempted to be anonymous. Do the math.

#6 What drugs are you on at the moment? List Legal and Non Legal.

I've never done drugs (at least not knowingly) in my life, nor drank nor smoke. I'm a workaholic though.

James Randi said it best: "I want to be, if I can, as sure of the world - the real world around me - as is possible. Now, you can only attain that to a certain degree, but I want the greatest degree of control. I never involve myself in narcotics of any kind. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. Because that can easily just fuzz the edges of my rationality; fuzz the edges of my reasoning powers. And I want to be as aware as I possibly can."

If I seem snooty, annoying, arrogant, self centered, queer, homeless, sociopathic, shady, insane or inexplicable for any reason, rather than drugs as an explanation, try to remember I've never been to public school of any sort, was working on my own business at 13, and have never once forgotten to stop and have fun. That might have assisted in molding my imaginative and risk loving personality. Or I'm just trolling.
