Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong made a bet on twitter that “Bitcoin Classic” an alternative version of bitcoin would take off and over take “Bitcoin Core” the version that people use now. Well time has told the story and classic is another flop. There where more than enough people in the twitter thread willing to take the bet. Bitcoin thought leaders like Armstrong should be held accountable, who gets paid since the bet is clearly lost?



Crazy, despite all the vocal criticism and calls for consensus, not a single person willing to take me up on my bet https://t.co/Jb5fdYuRQJ — Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) 16. Februar 2016

How about at 10:1 odds, will anyone take it then? (you pay $500 if you lose, I'll pay $5,000 if I lose) — Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) 16. Februar 2016







UPDATE

@brian_armstrong How is that #bitcoinclassic bet that you made a few months ago? Did you pay out already? #bitcoinxt #Bitcoin — degenbet (@DegenBet1) 27. April 2016



We are just waiting on the blockchain tx showing the payment of the winner. But wait, that is not all. How can he pay? Since you can not use Coinbase accounts for gambling as per Coinbase TOS. Is this the reason all is quiet on the bitcoin classic bet front?
