If you’re confident why not throw out 1M:1? I’ll take that bet with you. 100:1 sounds like you’re not that confident.
Because I hold out hope it'll happen some day.
And within a decade of that day, if it comes from easily fabricated materials, money will mean nothing, and I don't care to fight with the crazies who will try to be hoarding it. A few thousand, or hundreds of thousands, would probably be easy to acquire, millions feels like too much work, even if it is worthless. I'm thinking about my future (dream) spare time (also a dream), and I don't want to commit future me to coming up with those amounts. I'm sure future me will have a few hundred for anyone if anyone ever took me up on my offer.
So my offer stands at 100:1, because I'm serious about paying out on it when it happens, when else do you get genuine offers at those odds? Give me your dollars.
