The "replication" does not use the same methodology and the "scientist" is asking for bitcoin to post a video of the quantum locking effect.

The existence of the market is encouraging literal scams.

Well, that's your claim.

Somehow you expect people to act differently if that market wasn't there. Personally, I doubt a large number of those interested even know the market exists.

Yet, scammers are deeply aware of betting markets. they seem to always be there, and even create new ones just so they can play.
