Joe Lubin And Jimmy Song Make Bitcoin Bet Over Blockchain ‘Magic Dust’
Joe Lubin, the organizer of the ethereum startup studio Consensys, and Jimmy Song, an accomplice at Blockchain Capital, struck a handshake wager before a large crowd at CoinDesk’s Consensus 2018 meeting in New York City on Monday.
The correct terms of the wager have not yet been dealt with – that will happen on Twitter, the members said. Be that as it may, the expansive layouts rose in front of an audience.

The reason, he contended, was a difficult disengage between incorporated endeavors and as far as anyone knows decentralized applications, which Song rejected as “mysterious blockchain clean.”

Along these lines, Lubin issued a test: “I’ll wager you any measure of bitcoin that you’re off-base.”
Until further notice, the quantity of bitcoin is obscure, as are different terms of the wager. Yet, Song acknowledged the bet, and Lubin tweeted at Song instantly a short time later:
