It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?
You know what they say about a bird in hand being worth more than two in the bush.
For me, I wouldn’t need much time to deliberate on this as I would certainly go with taking one bitcoin. I’ll prefer to go with something sure. The 1 bitcoin that’s being offered is certain while there is the possibility of losing out entirely while trying out your luck to get 5 bitcoins.
