Between the founder of the investment firm Standpoint Research, Ronnie Moas, and the head of the startup Civic, Vinnie Linghama conflict broke out over a bet about the price of bitcoin.
In November 2018, Lingham accepted the challenge of Moas andbet $ 20,000 that the price of bitcoin will not exceed the $ 28,000 mark until December 31, 2019. The loser was supposed to donate funds to FreeRoss.org. The latter is involved in legal support for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence in the Federal Prison of Fremont County in Colorado.
On the first day of the new year, Lingham reminded Moas that bitcoin had not reached $ 28,000 and asked to publish payment details in favor of the organization.
</p>Moas responded evasively that Lingham had profited frominvestors of the Civic project, whose tokens have lost a significant part of their value, and emphasized that he is ready to allocate $20,000 only to organizations on the Philanthropy & Philosophy.
After that, Lingham wrote that Moas is evading, so as not to fulfill the conditions of the bet, which is recorded on the video.
“You're a damn bastard ... I don't refuse to complybetting conditions. Perhaps you need reading glasses ... and return the money to your scam investors. Since December 2017, it has dipped 99%. How much did you earn on Civic? ”- Moas burst out in tirade.
Twitter observers have expressed clear dissatisfaction with the behavior of the loser and his attempts to “turn the arrows”.
</p>One of the users called Moas a scammer who gives out paid tips on issues in which he is poorly oriented.
</p>Recall that in November, Ronnie Moas expressed the opinion that due to low inflation, the price of bitcoin can double in about six months.
