Transaction for
BTC35.00 is fully confirmed/complete.
Thank you, TradeFortress, for taking so much of your time to review everything and for making it a rather painless process!
Note to prospective debtors looking for a loan -- I'll give you a little review of my experience: I'd highly recommend TradeFortress and the BTCINVEST group if you need a loan and have the capacity to repay it. Extremely friendly and professional, and seems to have a lot of knowledge of Bitcoin in general. The terms are very reasonable and he is willing to work with you to make an agreement you both will appreciate. He spent hours of his time talking to me, explaining how it all worked and working with me to come up with mutually beneficial terms and conditions. He wrote up the contract the way he wanted it and then allowed me to make some basic edits to remove some ambiguity and make the terms a bit clearer. TF is definitely not afraid to do his homework and put in the maximum effort.
I initially approached TradeFortress out of curiosity about the whole concept of Bitcoin loans because I saw value in the idea from both angles; from the standpoint of securing a little extra funding and the potential profitability of
being a lender. I asked for a quote on what I could potentially get a loan for to apply to buying more gold and silver to boost our inventories/revenues a bit. And I was offered
BTC35.00 BTC at a 30% APR (because I'm new in Bitcoin and TF knew nothing about me, of course). I had to turn down that offer because it just wouldn't have been worth it at 30% (the cost is much higher than a dollar-denominated loan due to appreciation of the BTC against the USD), and I wasn't really "hurting" for a loan anyway. So we just dropped the subject entirely and started talking about software, game and web development and business. But TF put in the effort to look into me personally outside of the Bitcoin world and get to know me. He then decided to make a new (totally unsolicited) offer for
BTC35.00 @ 15% APR for a duration of one year... essentially making me an offer I couldn't refuse. I knew I could immediately use it to buy an extra silver or a little "basket" of assorted gold coins and increase our volume -- all at a rather low cost -- and still maintain a good margin. After all the money I've spent on our startup costs it was a quite appealing offer, so I deemed it to be a worthwhile deal with relatively low risks/liability. If anything, I can use the opportunity to start developing a little "credit history" in the Bitconomy.
So I'm quite pleased with all of this and I'd definitely recommend BTCINVEST (and TradeFortress, personally) to anyone looking for a little extra cash to boost their business or start-up project. I wish everyone in the BTCINVEST group much success in this lending venture and perhaps someday I will hop aboard myself.
Thanks,
