Ok, lets bet a bitcoin on it? If you are so sure this is the same set up as Comex, then lets bet a bitcoin on it and see. I say they are telling the truth, you say they are lieing. Let's go?

can't prevail by way of reason or facts, so you try to prove your point by waving your dick around? that's cute. Cheesy

not interested in betting on utter speculation---i'm a trader, not a gambler. also not interested in risking a bitcoin with a trusted third party escrow. i just saw some baseless claims and called them out as such.

at least you've conceded you're not operating off facts, but rather the word of bakkt's PR folks. good enough for me.

You made a fool of yourself. You and the original person I was responding to simply choose to believe that Bakkt is bullshitting people. I happen to believe that they are not. I happen to believe what they have said is true and factual. Just because you have a conspiracy theory about how they are obfuscating the truth right in front of the public's eye, doesn't mean I am speculating.

There is only one person speculating and it is you.

how did i make a fool of myself? point out some examples and explain.

in truth, you're completely misrepresenting what i said. i specifically said "i'm not sure that he's wrong", "i'm not sure myself", and "i think it's actually a legitimate point of contention" based on X, Y, and Z.

how do you manage to misconstrue this---

is it "fully collateralized" or "fully collateralized by physical bitcoins"? we'll find out when their legal filings are made public.

---for "simply choosing to believe that Bakkt is bullshitting people"?

obviously you are assuming they're telling the truth. i'm not assuming anything and i stated why. you refused to address any of the points i made and then challenged me to a bet. (lol)

i was just calling your opinion out for having no basis in fact, because you were condescending people with "facts" which were just your speculation from bakkt's press releases. (as i pointed out, i can't even find where bakkt literally said that contracts would be fully collateralized with bitcoins---just "fully collateralized or pre-funded" which leaves open the possibilities i pointed out)

In another 6 weeks, that'll be proven out and you will probably be on to some other thing that you are trying to discredit because A) your bored B) you have an agenda or C) you're ignorant. I've seen dozens like you before you and there will be dozens more like you in the future.

wtf are you even talking about? all you do is attack people with ad hominems. i'm just being skeptical and pointing out why it's foolish to make grand assumptions based on press releases. what's wrong with that?

fyi, this is a bitcoin forum and you're telling everyone they should blindly trust press releases from banksters. check yourself before you tell other people they made a fool of themselves lol.
