So you are certain it would pay out if people sold at $4000 and (while waiting for payment) it suddenly dropped to $0?

Manual as if person to person communicating directly?

Ok, you sell to other GFY member at $4000. He says, ok, wait, I will transfer 4000 bucks to you. While he is doing it btc crashes to $0. What do you think said member would do? Send you 4000?
Surely some may be fair, but...

With other currencies it is "live", with BTC it is with a delay where things can happen.

Ps: I never did BTC tradee so just speculating in theory, but these concerns were reasons why I did not speculate in BTC, even though I thought I could profit. On top of concern for fees that eats up a portion of profits.
