Tell me what the odds need to be moved to @Luke Dashjr and @Bitcoin Mechanic . I put up two bitcoin you put up one? 3 to 1? What do you price it at?

I'm being persecuted and slandered for being a hunble risk merchant.

Twitter vs Nostr in two images. Can’t block me here @Bitcoin Mechanic and @Luke Dashjr 😇 Give me your preferred wording of the prediction market, or take me up on the on chain trustless one I proposed. Also, any futures market you support I’ll be able to post screenshots of the odds anyway, so you’re really in a pickle, trying to make it about me and not the greater point I’m making. Ball is in your court, and even if you think I’m trolling, you’re letting me troll you a lot more by not taking up the bet than avoiding it and not picking up guaranteed bitcoin from your perspective.

He can block me on Twitter, but he can't block the market.

There is now a prediction market for what date the reduce data size soft fork activation client will go live! This one has less liquidity, as its easy to game since @Bitcoin Mechanic can use insider info and make a bet to gurantee he wins the bet, but fun nonetheless! Right now December 31st 2025 is the leader at 65%!

Looks like @Bitcoin Mechanic blocked me on twitter because I created a narrative violation about the contentious fork he is pushing. Good news is: You can't block NOSTR, and you can't block the market. Have fun and fork off 👍
