I never did have to pay out the 100:1 odds (or whatever I was offering) to anyone from day 1 of the previous announcement...

I have no more faith in this one, so I'll go 100 to 1 odds again, that this will not result in room temperature super conductors. Anyone want to take me up on this?

If it turns out I'm wrong I promise I'm good for it (if room temperature super conductivity is a thing I'll happily give away all of my life's savings, as money will quickly become meaningless), who wants to give me their money?

I'll bet you one upvote, and I'll pay it right now!
