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?
I think I would rather take the fund because that work be very useful for me and I can do anything I intend to do with one Bitcoin since the money will be given to me. Betting on 5 Bitcoin on ratio 50:50 could be very risky for one to end up losing everything. It is better I get the one Bitcoin and invest it immediately than trying to be greedy for me to get 5 Bitcoin which is going to be a win or a lose. Money at hand is better than the war that you are anticipating for and you have not gotten it. At one will be very sure of having one Bitcoin and if you go for the spinning, you could end up not even going close to getting one Bitcoin.
