To the guy who asked why I don't bet big to NO: because the risk/reward is too low for me, and I mean that the risk of trusting a substantial amount of coins to a third party (BITBET) opaquely operated by a scumbag (Mircea Popescu) is not worth the risk given the low odds (EG: betting 100BTC to NO pays 107.49182167

mircea_popescu: Last Wednesday, the Fed announced that it would not be tapering its bond buying program. This news was released at precisely 2 pm in Washington “as measured by the national atomic clock.” It takes 7 milliseconds for this information to get to Chicago.

mircea_popescu: it just puts one in a particularly comfortable and solid mental place to be themselves.
mircea_popescu: obviously judging the other side is your domain, but i don't see why i'd want to live in a world wherein i can't say my name on my own blog. either such a world doesn't exist or i don't, and the sooner we find out the better.
