People betting against Matthew weren't "gambling." I placed a bet, and I never gamble.

Placing bets isn't gambling?
You gambled that MNW would be a n00b and be forced to pay out on such a sure-fire thing, and you totally lost that bet.
...At least you didn't lose any money though, right?
I "gambled" that I would not risk anything, and likely not get anything. Knowing what the outcome will be isn't exactly gambling.
No I didn't lose any money. Just time, and my respect for Matthew's trolling skills. For someone with so much imagination and talent, he really disappointed.
Jesus Christ...
The bitcoin community is gullible as fuck. ...
The only thing you all need, is to learn how to use your brains.
You sound like an SA goon. They tend to pick out the stupidest and loudest in the crowd, point fingers, accuse the whole crowd of that behavior, and laugh smugly about their own superiority (see SA vs anime, furry, Bitcoin, etc). I'm fairly certain most people didn't put money into any of the scamy HYIPs here. Pretty sure most people didn't lose any money from betting on Matthew, either. We're not stupid. Just upset when someone else does something stupid. From the looks of it, most people here just lurk. Thanks for trying to look out for the "Bitcoin community," but considering the whole reason Matthew's bet was started in the first place (he was annoyed at how vocal the community was when it was telling stupid members to stop supporting ponzi scams) I think we'll be fine without it.
