Respectfully, I don't think you are so on point regarding your ability to determine personality and intent in other humans.
1. I absolutely do NOT "act like (I) feel sorry for people who believe we escrow will get paid", if they too are pushing the unproveable narrative. My point, is now and has always been, that I do not like or respect disingenuous or dishonest behavior and/or commentary.
2. I am not "challenging" you to a bet, rather I am simply offering one as a way for you to prove your "belief". It's a very good offer I've made you whereby I risk twice as much money as you if I'm wrong, and I think extremely sportsman-like of me.
3. I too hope you are right. In that way we are NOT different as you claim, but the same. It is the building hope for a something that never arrives that I think is a little criminal.
Best to you and to all. I will continue to read occasionally, post rarely, and focus on other monetary opportunities.
