This would be pretty tragic if you could die from jumping out the window of your mom's basement. | ||

Libertarians finally being good for something I guess. I honestly don't care whether it's 12k, 6k or 5 dollars, neither of these two need the money. I just want to see them play each other. | ||

Besides, for someone like Naniwa, he already said it's not really the money he's going for. Yeah, it sucks but it shouldn't really affect the series at all. | ||

It's fairly similar to being paid in stocks. You can sell it off right now and get a reduced amount of money or you can be patient with it, which seems like the best idea right now. | ||

Unless governments set out to kill it I think it'll survive on the enthusiasm of tech libertarians and pseudo-gold bugs. At the very least, it shouldnt really affect the value of the prizepool to the two participants. It was a pretty ingenuous idea to look to bitcoin for a sponsorship. They get legitimacy and we get a commodity prizepool. | ||

Or you can just wait and see price dropping more and more... This is why I don't want to introduce bitcoin to normal people. It isn't being treated as a currency, but a stock, and average people have absolutely no idea how to manage stock trading and stuff. Right now when prize pool is $6000 so it's nothing to Naniwa, but 2 days ago when it was $12k, it was huge, you can't just say it's nothing. People like Teaja, despite the consistency, only won above $10k twice in his career.

The reason why people are afraid of bitcoin bubble because 2 months ago, the bitcoin was ranging from $110-$233, then last month it shot up to $1242. | ||

Thanks, there is now milk from my cereal on my keyboard. I hope this show match plays out like I want it to with great games on both sides and doesn't turn out to somehow be a flop. I think there is potential for best SC2 showmatch series with this. | ||

Both of them are on well established teams and have made plenty of money from SC2 in winnings. A guy who just made 20k last week does not need another 12k, period. Again, the difference between need and want. | ||
