I am currently pessimistic about the chances of the price ever getting much higher than now
I bet you 1 bitcoin that some time during the lifespan of bitcoin the price will rise above the $580 range.  If this does not happen in the next 5 years, I give you a bitcoin.  Sound fair?

Oh and a sell off before July? This consolidation has bear trap written all over it.

For a variety of reasons, including how you have structured this bet, NO ONE with any brain would take this bet... maybe if you changed the reward to dollars, then possibly, who would want a bitcoin that may have little value in 5 years.

Also, maybe change the amount to $700 or some other more reasonable and higher amount.. $580 is the current floating price, as you know.... within 5 years, many would even bet $1000 or more... as a sure thing in their thinking.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE!! BETWEEN THE LINES, MAN. READ BETWEEN THE LINES. IS IT SO HARD?


Something is apparently obvious, yet there is a need to read between the lines?  Seems like you are having a meltdown, Cassius, about something trivial, no?


Blindingly, getting-smacked-about-the-face-with-a-halibut obvious.
Face, palm...

NOT so obvious to me, whatever it is to which you are referring.

Is there toilet paper stuck to my shoe?  OMG... Why don't you just say it, rather than getting annoyed merely b/c you see something that someone else does NOT.  Each of us have our differing perspectives and senses, but the mere fact that someone sees something different than someone else does NOT make one more or less intelligent than another.... well, you may consider the matter differently, at least it seems that you do.   Roll Eyes

Alright, but this is a one-time thing, ok? After this, no more.
Jorge has made a reputation by proudly not owning bitcoin. So let's say he ignores the maths and enters the bet, and wow, he wins! Clever Jorge. Except he's just sold his principles for < $580, because now he owns a bitcoin, and suddenly all those months of leaving posts full of selective evidence and ignoring good answers were for nothing.
It was never supposed to be a real bet. Obviously, getting-slapped-around-the-face-with-the-fish-of-your-choice obviously. It was just a joke in the form of Socratic irony because naturally Jorge is never going to take it for those reasons.
I'm not sure why you think I'm annoyed. I suppose it might be my unnecessary over-use of capital letters.
And yes, you do have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.
