With that kind of money, why would you not simply cash out, retire, and enjoy everything the world has to offer? Instead, you leverage your millions to prove a point? I don't get it.
The answer to this question lies in your reply itself,he can choose what he wants with his assets and so is the reason he chooses to leverage his millions to prove a point ,there wont be a substantial response from Roger and he wont accept the challenge because he knows he will loose in the end,but will talk his way out for sure.
I thought the bet was simply "my bitcoin unlimited for your btc in a chain split - at least $60M"
But now seem's "as long as no more development happens that enables safe activation" Looking like an opt out for loaded?
(like hayek say's above - "my BTU for BTC 1:1 if there is a fork.", no mention of no more development, just a fork?)
Who would have expected Roger to even entertain this $60m "bet"? I didn't. But he has said he is. A $60m+ Core Bluff being called?
If i was at the poker table at this point, i would either fold or raise, not call.
Knowing i will turn my hand into the nuts if bitcoin unlimited activated with *enough hash power (*explained in above posts) ,
and a split pot if never activated below that threshold, a raise is on the cards.
Loaded (core) supporters already calling Roger out for backing down, (while changing their terms?), before Roger even returns - after stating his interest?
Give a little respect?
I await Rogers response. Loaded's clarification on this (added?) "BU as is now" clause would also be nice?
