I still don't get what point MNW was trying to prove.
I didn't lose anything; MNW gained a scammer tag. And added fuel to the already overwhelming pirate discussion.
I kind of suspected he'd never pay (I had my doubts from the beginning but when he lifted his original BTC10,000 limit I started to seriously doubt his intention to pay when he loses).
Did you bet with him?
Yeah, just
BTC50. I judged that since BTCS&T was obviously a scam, he'd lose his bet no matter what, and that there was a non-zero possibility that he'd pay instead of taking the scammer tag, my EV would be positive. Turned out I gained nothing. Didn't lose anything either, though.
