      but the stakes need to be higher and the bet has to make sense! there are a lot of worthless tokens that trade at insane valuations (i.e. bitconnect or literally hundreds of others)

      Scared BAT will appreciate more than BTC over one year? Contradicts your worthless thesis.

      shitcoins are doing totaly crazy and random things. makes no sense to bet on that. my argument is that brave would be bettor off without BAT or with LN instead of BAT. I have to think about how to bet on that. So far I have no idea how we could bet on that.

      let me now when you have a better idea that to bet on the price of BAT. makes as much sense as betting on the price of doge coin...

      BAT vs BTC in one year controls for fiat and directly measures your beliefs about both. Chicken? :-P

      You insisting that BAT price has any relevance whatsoever is pretty strong evidence that you don't understand the market and the crypto space at all. Do you really think the valuation of doge coin is related to the viability of ? (I don't even know what that would be)

      That being said, I don't mind a bit of fun and a meaningless bet! Let's bet 1 BTC that BAT/BTC is lower than today in 12 months from now

      You need money? My bet was low stakes and public to prove a point. But no worries - you are on!

      ? How do you prove a point with not even pocket change. 1 BTC is still low stakes but at least it is enough to be somewhat meaningful. But I don't care anymore... You choose the amount. I'm in...

          This was more exciting than my consumer behavior lecture. Can’t wait to see how this turns out.
