A: Because I think this thread is good for the community. The more people that bet in this thread, the better off the community is, and I thus benefit indirectly as a member of the community.

I strongly disagree with you there. Matthew is involved in several projects, if he loses 2000+BTC (just with the bets thus far) it won't help his credibility nor his finances. I wish he didn't do it or at least that he limited it more. It would make the same point if he just risked 500 or 1000 BTC. Almost all "vocal" people against Pirateat40 have already placed their bets, what's the point now?

I disagree. I think all this betting is divisive, and causing the Bitcoin community to fragment. If MNW loses and is forced to pay out it will be like crucifying a productive member of the community just to prove some point.

We need to remember that as a community our real enemies are forex fees, Paypal, inflation and wire transfer fees. We should be focusing on that, not on the ponzi/no ponzi squabbling. Bitcoin is not a HYIP and should not be associated with them to this degree.

And I'll proxy your bets for free, but theymos is a pretty trustworthy guy. (Given that he's The forum admin and all...)

Proxy option 1: Send your money to me. If pirate doesn't default, I'll pass it on to MNW. Otherwise, I'll give you your money and your 100% ROI. This works if you have 0 rep.
Proxy option 2: Give me some reason to trust you. If you are a 3-post user with a solid OTC rep, sign a contract with GPG and I'll increase my bet to accommodate yours. This works if you have rep but don't trust me.

Never give your bitcoins to anyone, except when you buy something or exchange your btcs to fiat.

Problem is, MNW is the more trusted party. Unless you pay up-front, if you have 0 rep, then you've basically been given a "free option." Bullshit. That is why users need 250 posts to make bets in this thread.

Q: Why will you proxy my bets for free, you scammer?
A: Because I think this thread is good for the community. The more people that bet in this thread, the better off the community is, and I thus benefit indirectly as a member of the community.

yikes Matt.

I don't know why you are doing it, but I must max-fire to prove my point. I still feel bad but there can be no half-measures here.

It is a shame that I'm not what you consider to be an estabilished member.
I'd go all-in.

Again, I can proxy your bet free-of-charge.

Proxy? Like... taking my bitcoins now and giving it to Matt should he win?
This is exactly the kind of behavior that got the whole community into trouble.

Damn. Get your shit together, guys.

Do you think he'd risk the scammer tag for 250BTC? I wouldn't. I use this nick here and in other forums.

That said, I think it would only be fair if the proxy got the funds in advance from both Matthew and the bettor. One of the main reasons I haven't betted myself is that this is not the procedure for everybody. But now I'd really feel bad to take 250BTC from Matthew, I think he has gone insane. I might be tempted if he keeps it up a couple days more...

I'll proxy bets for 4% of your bet amount if you've already bet 250 BTC directly, or 6% otherwise. You'll need to send me the bet amount + fee in advance.

Oh, fancy that, a lame excuse to avoid putting his money where his mouth is. I'm shocked.

Use Escrow if you're worried about that Roll Eyes

I'm 100% sure pirate is a scammer.
And what you're doing now is a desperate act of denial.

Go back a few pages, someone will act as a proxy for your bet. Looking forward to you going all in, be sure to post when you do.

so the max is now 250?

Strongly tempted to increase my bet before the cutoff, tuesday afternoon and still no word from pirate.

I'll have to think about this more carefully.

I may cut that timeline short if things don't start turning up and just lock the thread here soon.
