I actually like XMR a lot now. I see its value -- it has a legitimate place in the cryptosphere that has yet to be substituted.
I come back here today to share this little story with you, which you might find to be humorous. Not sure what ever happened to SaddamBitcoin, but some of you may remember him.
Was going through my old posts and found a recap of the story, which goes a little something like this:
...
Sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2014 I made a bet with SaddamBitcoin that the price of XMR would drop below 0.01 BTC before the end of the year. He was of the utmost firm opinion that it would not. The loser had to send pictures of themselves peeing on their own head.
XMR dropped below .01 on Dec 17th. I can't find the comments that were part of the bet -- most likely they were deleted by one of your mods.
But he owes me a picture of himself peeing on his own head. Or else I'm going to start my own thread with it.
It's true, I lost the bet fair and square. Regardless, my faith in Monero remains strong so I must uphold my end of the bargain.
I will deliver a photo of the deed to Nutildah by midnight Dec 31st 2014.
Sure enough, he upheld his end of the bargain. I think. He did PM me somewhere between 2 and 4 pictures -- but -- I was so dumbfounded that he actually sent them that I never actually bothered to look at them. (I'm not really into that sort of thing from a fetish standpoint or a sadist standpoint, if you could even call it that.)
Being the dick that I was (am), I posted links to them somewhere. Later I got a PM from somebody who offered me 5 XMR to remove the post with the links. I felt kind of guilty about the whole affair so I just deleted the post without taking the 5 XMR. Apparently they were real pictures of him actually peeing on his head!
So that's my story, hope you liked it. I laughed hard when I saw it for the first time in 4 and a half years. If it made you smile, mission accomplished.
And I did find the initial bet post, just recently:
Should have invested in a coin that was meant to be used for the long-haul and not just as a high-risk investment vehicle.
How about this?
If Monero fails this year (goes below 0.001 BTC), I will pee on my own head and send you a photo.
If Monero reaches 0.02 BTC this year, you must pee on your head and show us.
Love it. You're on Mr. Hussein! Mark my words, this will be the mother of all bets...
To demonstrate that I am a good sport, I left him a retroactive positive trust for upholding his side of the bet in 2014.
