Explain to me why the fee to keep people out was only 200 usd a year ago?
For the same reason the amount Mircea pays MPOE-PR is the same amount today as last year: the value of the service is still worth x amount of BTC.
The forum needs people to give them a large dose of: "you're doing it wrong, don't be an idiot, you're going to lose all your money." Invaluable advice for those that pay attention (and don't want to lose all their BTC).
The constant btc rate is more likely to create the delusion that mpex can scale with the rapidly increasing value of btc.
You are right about mircea giving invaluable advice. The advice is that if you think your going to make it rich gambling with options then you deserve to lose at least 30btc and/or all you can afford to give away to mr. p.
However I believe you are under the impression that his incoherent and deceptive blog posts have anything to do with the educating. I guess it does in a way since it allows mircea to find everyone stupid enough to fork over 30btc to gamble in a casino where the odds are greatly stacked against you no matter what you do unless your mr. popescu.
And its not hard to be right every once in a while when you call every project a scam in a market with 95% scams. It certainly doesn't take 12btc per month to do that, especially when we have pankakke.
