To respond to those who reported it as No: The bet can be early resolved early if 'Bitcoin hits $500' before EoY, which it has. Please read the decision logic above carefully.

@kibblesnbitz Thanks for chiming in. Don't use Bitpay as a measure again - if you want a weighted index use the winkindex as they publish their data

Hey everyone - sorry I was away for a few weeks. After review, it looks like a number of major exchanges had BTC above 500, if only for a few moments. Congrats!

I agree. Thank you for reviewing this. BitPay was a badly chosen metric

@Jamphone - We're calling this one 'asleep at the switch' and will cancel the bet unless someone proves it WASN'T above $500. We have done our own independent research and pulled minute rates from bitcoinaverage that we collect ourselves here at BetMoose. BitcoinAverage uses a similar market-weight algorithm. We have found a high of $496.57 using that method. However, we have also seen trades at the largest exchanges cross $504 during trading. The technically correct thing to do here is cancel.

@Avalon This bet should really be over - the price crossed $500 a few weels ago. @kibblesnbitz

@Avalon I contacted Bitpay and they will not release historical information - which makes this bet ridiculous, @kibblesnbitz shouldn't have pickd it - but Bitpay mirrors the markets and ALL of the major markets were above $500, if however briefly, this making the outcome "Yes"

@Avalon I understand. I'm just saying this bet will never end - the creator chose a price index that posts no historical data. It clearly crossed $500 with the rest of the exchanges - but will be impossible to prove. What is there to wait for?

@Jamphone - As you know, we don't monitor the outcomes. It's up to the bettors to either claim an outcome with backup evidence, or for the host to resolve without a counter claim by bettors.

Bitpay doesn't publish historical data apparently, but they use a moving average that is in line with Coinbase, Coinbase was over $500.

@Jamphone - we need something concrete that it was in fact over $500 if you'd like an early resolve.

Sorry - it was a cut/paste from last year. Can the mods change it?

The logic is flawed "before December 31st 2014" ?
