Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

hi, me again. it's been six months.
bitcoin is down 56% from $38,000, when this person took out the original $15,000 loan
it's down 12% from $18,950, when this person took out the second $20,000 loan
@molly0xFFF
You'll be here to make fun at the outset of a risky (foolish) investment. But do you have the journalistic integrity to report with a follow up in six months if your ridicule was countered by a successful investment?

happy 90 days after this tweet.
as i write this, bitcoin is priced at $25,000, below its $26,000 price point on march 17 and a mere $975,000 away from reaching the $1M price point as balaji predicted
I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.
If someone knows how to do this…

Part of his argument is that he needs them to be able to pay for his legal defense, else he might face irreparable harm.
“Conversely, the FTX Debtors face only the possibility of economic loss.”
