i learned a very simple thing: if something guarantees more than 7% per year it is likely not worth looking into it. they all blow up.

that said, i am incredibly eager to learn what your business really is, pirate. i bet it makes a great story..

Would you be willing to disclose anything about your actual profit margins over the 7% weekly you pay for the use of funds?

The only good thing about this ever ending is that I'll find out what the hell it is. I might be able to replicate it in a different context .... Wink

And that is the whole Frigging Point of why you don't disclose Business Models if others can't figure them out.

NOW, ask very nicely and he might sell Franchises... lol

Sure, I net gross 10.65% per week and payout 5.98% on average and it really depends on how much I want to work.  The process has become pretty automated lately which is nice because I can spend more time on my other projects and with the family. Smiley

Thanks for your polite and non-divulging question. Smiley

Oh, one thing I forgot.  Just more thanks, no more info. Smiley

There are a couple of people that I know doing the exact same thing I do.  One in the states and one in the UK.  Early on they both contacted me within days of each other asking for some tips on how I handled the process.  Now this was after a very detailed description of what they thought I was doing.  Considering they're not in my area and we'd end up helping each other out, I decided I'd lend a hand in getting them off the ground.  We've keep in contact and to-date (based on how many of you have no idea what's going on) they've kept the information I've told them secret and I can't tell you what that means to me.

Now, I never expect anything in return and this is not a call for them to come forward in the least (they know that).  I simply wanted to mention it and say thanks.

Thanks,
vip

Thank you Mr P for a nicely considered reply to some of the other threads.

It still amazes me that there are basically two groups of people, people who believe stuff can not be done (normally stupid), and those who go out and do it (a mix of smart and stupid people).  Mr P is in the second category and probably smart - and I have a friend  in the second category who is stupid and has $2M in the bank.

Ha ha ha (arrrgh - subbed)

Bitcoin is completely revolutionary and super needed yet its value is only climbing with some 30% a YEAR, that should give you a hint.

What on earth are you talking about? It's been way more than 30% in my world. it's even more than 1000%

He doesn't have to run a Ponzi on his own - my guess is still that he "invests" in some Ponzi/pyramid game like MMM. If you read carefully, he never denied that, only that he doesn't Ponzi himself.

Earning 30% a week or what ever?

Yeah its possible in some instances for a short time, but HIGHLY unlikely to be rooted in the real world.

Investing in something not transparent is just stupid; its worse than gambling as you don't even know what game you are playing or the odds.

Even if pirate is not doing a ponzi scheme the kind of people he attracts are quite likely to fall for other ponzi schemes.


Bitcoin is completely revolutionary and super needed yet its value is only climbing with some 30% a YEAR, that should give you a hint.

To do even that on a regular basis you usually have to be facebook or asset strip companies.


Not revealing his secret formula? There's people on the internet earning money on fruit porn, unless he discovered alchemy I don't buy it.
Sounds SOO much like lehman brothers and the lot "we are so brilliant - two days later - your money is gone, bye!".

fascinating.
Something legal in the US, or something that is not clearly illegal, that produces massive returns with lenders spread around the world and traded on an exchange managed by someone in China, using bitcoin as an intermediary.
He goes by the name of a pirate and has a personality too.
You just can't make this stuff up and few dare to believe it is actually possible.

Wait, aren't you the same person who on IRC was saying that the Bitcoinica hack was an inside job and that Zhou Tong was supposedly a mastermind behind all the hacks/stolen money in Bitcoinica and demanding proof otherwise and yet you're defending pirate without providing anything either?
I have never claimed any of these things.

Also, the burden of proof is on the ones making criminal accusations.

It is shocking, shocking that an outsized return from an investment with zero transparency is related to major illegal operations.  Who would have thought?
Where is your evidence? You state it like it is a truth.

It shocks me how prone people I would have thought better of are to slander. I don’t have anything against speculation and discussion, but saying someone is a criminal or (knowingly) connected to criminals is a serious accusation you better be able to back up.

So let me ask you, where is your evidence for GPUMAX and/or Bitcoin Savings & Trust being related to "major illegal operations"?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is withholding revealing and damaging information out of respect to all the members of this forum, especially Pirateat40. You think we all rely on google? Woof, woof.
Put up or shut up.

Speak up now, slanderers. Go and prove him wrong.

Or have the decency to apologize if you cannot.

You are a very talented mental acrobat.

(And if this is not the same person, my apologies).
