Want to bet for a box of cigars that it won't go below $500 this year? ( edit: Mt.Gox price )
In March, 2013 I made a public bet for a sum of 7 bitcoins (<$1,000 back then). I got a call from the police, because soliciting public bets is illegal where I live. Therefore I have to structure all bets as financial instruments and have them in the books of my company in another country. And to make this profitable for me, they have to be for a quite large amount, and also give better odds than I could have just by using other options at my disposal.
So this ain't so much fun as it should be
If ever I send you a gift, the price will be determined in Bitstamp
All probabilities are against me that it would even go to 600. So I would be delighted to have gifts if it goes below 500 intraday in Bitstamp. If the year passes without this happening, the remaining stash makes me so rich that I can send gifts to my friends
My taste is "traditional Cuban" - aromatic, balanced, not very strong. The cigar needs to be big (thick) enough to realize the flavour, petit corona (44) size is the minimum. Usually I buy the top end of the range and only a few at a time though, because I never know when I develop a new hobby...
