Buffett wins $1M decade-old bet that the S&P500 would outperform hedgefunds
And I'm just going to self-promote a bit and say that the bet was registered via a project I worked on, the Long Now Foundation's project Long Bets:<p><a href="http://longbets.org/" rel="nofollow">http://longbets.org/</a><p>We've been going since 2002: <a href="https://www.wired.com/2002/05/longbets/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/2002/05/longbets/</a><p>We are happy to host bets of long-term significance, and the minimum bet is only $200/side. I am glad to personally help shepherd people who are serious about bets to make sure you get through the process.<p>I would especially like to see HNers making bets about the things we argue a lot about. Bitcoin! VR! Uber! If you're tired of people posting waffle on some topic where you have a strong opinion, then challenge them to put money down.
