The Legend of the Snail
Some might have already guessed what this post will be about just by reading the title...
But many more might not, especially if they weren't there when it happened.
What am I talking about? About the legendary snail @orthwyrm that one day just showed up and said:
Day 1 of snailposting till BTC is $100k.
__@_'-'
No one seemed to care but no one did know that this was just the beginning ... a legend was born that day.
I want to think that @orthwyrm was thinking the following that day:
They don't know that it's not going to take much time that
- they are going to abuse me for their own personal reasons (next day already actually)
- they'll want to be faster than me
- they'll think I am a bot
- I'll receive 8k+ sats just for showing up
- I'll make people race to be the first in the daily discussion only for 1k sats, an amount that I receive almost every day
- they'll hate me for reaching top comment every day
- they'll blow up the daily discussion while waiting for me
- they'll get worried when I don't show up immediately
- and probably much more ...
However, on day 8, the following happened:
should we make bets on the number? I say you make it on day 411.
From the seven people that replied, only @orthwyrm, @grayruby and myself still seem to be around.
@orthwyrm said in 260 days (EOY)
@grayruby said in 655 days.
And I said 420 days. I even doubled down on my 420 bet:
Day 420 100k ez
That will be June 8, 2024
Remember my words xD
@grayruby mentioned this bet some time later again:
I know awhile ago a bunch of us made predictions as to what day the snail goes away but why don't we do something more formal. A futures bet. Take a week to cultivate participants who want to put 1k sats into the prize pool and closest without going over wins the sats. Thoughts?
The day where we do something more formal has finally arrived.
This post is going to be the formal way to participate in the bitcoin $100k bet.
Anyone except the ones who already mentioned a number can still reply with a number. So this means that @orthwyrm, @grayruby, @SwearyDoctor, @ridsa, @LaserStack, @squatopia already locked in.
Anyone who deletes any comment of theirs in here is immediately out. No sat returns.
I'll try to get something going where we can collect sats into a pool; similar to how @artistformerlyknownasNFLsurvivor worked, I guess. Hopefully before bitcoin reaches $100k, lol.
Any ideas on the bet size we should go for? @grayruby mentioned 1k sats but I think more sats would be cooler ... what about 5k? Or even 10k? Or even 25k? :) I think 25k would be the maximum I would be willing to bet.
When bitcoin reaches $100k, Moscow time will be 1000. This means 25k sats will be worth $25 while currently, they are worth $10.
