Topic: Bitcoin is Helping Me Set Up A Fancy Restaurant in The Ghetto (Read 282 times)

Reading through some of the posts it was a perfect reminder why one of the main negative points about having a thread such as this being created with complete fabrication (and for the sole purpose of trying to receive merits) is that it will eventually become a paradise for spammers to add their piece as they accumulate their post count for their weekly signature campaign quota.

I'd love to skip the air conditioner but it's just not practical. We live in the heat zone of the tropics of there's anything like that and my business place is faces the sun at its peak. Despote the screening, it gets really hot after midday and an electric fan just won't do it. My main concern about the AC is theft, but in the meantime, I still sleep there so no worries. Thanks. For the free food for the poor, if someone doesn't make a habit of coming everyday, I guess it's okay.

I guess you do know what you're doing man and only thing that I can say to you is God bless you and hopefully your restaurant is going to be a success, I think that people from the ghetto would love your food, no scratch that, I have a feeling that they would love your food, something new is most people will crave and if they've got the means to get there so much easier then definitely, we're going to see a booming in your restaurant.

This might not be a good advice but your tip for work business model shouldn't be lasting for a really long time, it should be your foundation for your real dreams, at some point, you should be setting a price for your article, I'm sure that the people that have been tipping and have been your client for a really long time would gladly pay for the service and yes, there will definitely be others that would not like this but you already have a portfolio to prove that you can deliver what you promised even with just a tip, now they'll see how you do things when you're starting to get paid. That's the only thing that I can think of when it comes to expediting your dreams, no other way around it but maybe there are others that would give out a much better solution to speed up that dream. What you're planning to do in that dream, it's definitely something that would be resisting against the current so it's more hard work for you once you start building up on that dream.

A nice long story and it's not the first time I've heard these stories. People are being influenced by the high profitability and some of them are profited also but nowadays BTc can't make you millionaire.

For big profits you have to invest high assets and you can't afford that. People in the past invested little and got big profits but nowadays it's not the case you have to make thousands of dollars investment to get hundreds in profits.

Using bitcoin to set up a fancy restaurant in ghetto? I call it risky except OP is among one of those people that flirt with the bad boys. The neighborhood belongs to everyone and their collective decision to either change them for the better or make it more worse. People change and adapt to new environment, it all depends on the mindsets they've have and their ability to accept new changes.

What a good idea your restaurant business is being discussed a lot out there and surely your restaurant will have a lot of visitors because many people who hold bitcoin have been waiting for a business like this for a long time. Bitcoin holders are happy to hear this news, including me, if I later visit your country. will visit your restaurant.

Sad to see that you did not manage to Fish single merit knowing how hard and long you made this story  but anyway
Nice try but bitcointalk members aren't that stupid to just buy  what you wanted to sell here because those merit fishing about
"Bitcoin Success story" have long passed , now people here are looking for authentic and for legit one.

What must be extremely disappointing for the OP is that after all the energy and effort he put in to typing that script, he did not receive a single merit. Since he likes to post long messages he could have a change of career from being part of an account-farming business on this forum to a professional drama script writer. He might have more success in doing that 

Hmm, nice idea to be... 
 
Anyway Mr. generous man I think you watched something similar to the "catch me 2002" series last night. Because a story has been made and posted in the same way. 
Apart from this, you have registered on the forum a few days ago and at the same time your post history is a witness that you are showing me nothing but a services promoter.

Lol,  I think next will be merit phisher...

I don’t know how exactly it is in your country but in mine anything air conditioned is expensive. Buying an air conditioning unit is expensive so as the electricity. I would suggest waiting out and checking whether your business is doing you any good before you add more amenities. You wouldn’t want to be swimming in losses.
I appreciate the sentiment but if you are serious about your business, sometimes kindness need to be lessened. If your business end up not doing well, there will be no occasional free food for the poor.

Do you know how fancy restaurants in poor neighbourhoods end up? Usually broken into, devastated, tagged by gangs and their owners extorted. If you're lucky you will just go bankrupt from lack of clients.
There are many similar real life stories. They even made movies about some of them. One that comes to my mind was when a guy wanted to build a school for children in Africa and local gangs were stealing from it and threatening him. There's a reason why poor people stay poor and bad neighbourhoods almost never change, or go from bad to worse.

I respect the idea that the OP just shared with everyone around him, even though the OP himself doesn't really have a specific solution to make that idea come true. Because this story is quite vague, I encourage that goal to be nurtured with things that you can do.

But I want you to think about this, the delicious food you haven't eaten when you see someone else eating it is not necessarily what the people around you need. Maybe life in the slums, as far as I know is a change in the quality of life, they need jobs that give them income to leave that place, even if there is a great possibility to change that area aim for a better quality living space (cleanliness, medical services, education, security,...) but delicious meals will not necessarily help them be happy.

Based on your name OP, it's most likely created just to start your account to get paid or something. Why not just focus on your restaurant or something since you said you are there already? I don't know how Bitcoin helped you but you are just starting out lol. Renting out your space doesn't count right? Unless it's being paid in BTC  

Thanks. I read your comment more than once. I certainly will lay more emphasis on the food. In any case, my idea of fancy isn't something elaborate. Just neat painting and an air conditioning. CCTV too for close monitoring. We've got many eating places but some folks are not satisfied with the quality of food and business environment. My vision is actually to make breakfast affordable to all. Lunch and dinner are for residents who are above average. Of course, occasional free food for poor and hungry.

Definitely, if you are an early investor, then you would have made a good amount of money from holding the coin. I have already witnessed many incidents where people, due to Bitcoins, have achieved their dreams. Glad to know that for Bitcoins you were able to pay your education fees. I have also fulfilled some of my dreams, like purchasing a car from the profits generated through Bitcoins and paying instalments for my house loan with the Bitcoins. So yes, Bitcoins have helped many people in many ways. We just need to show some faith and respect towards the coin.

Haha yah, this story makes no sense lol and what's even crazier, people here are congratulating him on that ingenious idea believing that its true  

Overall, just another lame merit fishing post which hopefully won't get any merit.

I don't understand people's fascination for the so called "fancy restaurants": oftentimes you are just overpaying good food (I said good, not delicious) because of the ambience, the service, the storytelling, etc etc. And now I see more and more often that they serve some "common's people food" like pizza or tacos and other types of street food adding some expensive food and charging crazy amount of money for it. I understand that some people pay more for the whole experience, so it's not only about the food, but don't overthink this "fancy restaurant" thing, focus about giving a great product to your customers.

I don't think that Bitcoin gives anybody overnight riches to establish a business, especially if the person is a low income earner or poor, you need to hodl it for a long term to be able to make enough ROI to reinvest into another business. So your dream of starting a fancy restaurant in the ghetto, without sufficient funds and depending on Bitcoin, might not be a feasible idea, unless you're getting a massive support from other areas, like your writing skills.

I don't think that you need a fancy restaurant in the ghetto to make the poor people to be happy, because they'll be more interested in the food and might hardly appreciate your hard labor to give them fancy and luxury. If you're serving fancy food and services to people who can't afford to pay for it, then I wonder how you are going to sustain the business with your small income? If you don't have the excess money to start a charitable business, then don't, only give what you can afford at anytime.

I truly enjoy reading these types of stories regardless of whether it is real or fictitious. These types of stories helps to stretch our imaginations and to create what is possible with Bitcoin. Reading this story you can see one of the ways in which Bitcoin can help improve the economic situation of an individual by starting a business, earning an income. Like I wrote initially, it doesn't matter if this is a true story or a fictitious one.

I've not made enough profit. Small tips after writing will help me set up the restaurant. I actually rented out my living space to pay for restaurant space.


I'm creating awareness for my servicing while showing how Bitcoin can help anyone financially disadvantaged to realize their dream. Of course I've got attention. At least, you can also support my project by hiring me for  tip like this good employer. It's not as if I'm asking for handout for doing nothing: https://ibb.co/YLy5C6j


I'm not really thinking about accepting bitcoin at the moment. It's not something we discuss a lot about in my area. For statrters, advertising Bitcoin would make people think I'm rich. That's the outlook around here and it's risky for me and my business. You should know why.

Actually in my country this is a very common business idea.

We have food stalls just around the streets that serve very affordable food usually with huge proportions and very delicious taste. They tend to do well as more people will opt to buy in here instead of in fast food restaurants or fancy ones they can barely afford. Sometimes even the rich people visit the slumps just to eat in these stalls.

The quality of the food matters. Whether you are poor or rich, you will surely want to eat some good food.
Since bitcoin is helping you achieve this dream, is there any way you can incorporate bitcoin to your business? Like maybe adding an option of paying in crypto or just dedicating the concept of the restaurant to bitcoin? I think it will be a good idea and can even attract more customers.

You can help us with more detail information so we can benefit from such information considering that you are from a poor family, so how were you able to invest in Bitcoin or you earned it through other means for which I will love to know. 2014 was pretty early in Bitcoin for those who could invest in it, the reason I made this response is your situation which makes it rarely possible for you to have spared funds you can hold in Bitcoin amidst family challenges.

I don’t know how many people are going to fall for your cock and bull story, looking at your post history it is obvious to me that you’re only interested in promoting your service. That’s all you have been doing on the forum since you joined. Here is what I think, you tried advertising your writing service in the Service board and also in Project development but did not get any attention from forum members so you made up this story to get sympathy from the community and get them to patronize you. Afterall if they do, they will helping a poor community get access to good food.

But you just created your account last week while you are claiming that you earn profit here through tips for your article. Do you manage to gather enough money to sustain your restaurant with just a short period of time?

Sounds too good to be true and definitely you earn money through your article writing. I believe emphasizing that your restaurant will accept Bitcoin will be more encouraging as support of adoption for Bitcoin use on your area.

Nevertheless, Good luck with your business, nice to read that Bitcoin helps you somehow to make ypur dream come true.

I am very happy to hear about your initiative, but the thing should be such that the prices are low so that everyone gets good-quality food at a low price. You have to open a restaurant to earn money, the food quality is not that good, or the service is not very good. I also want to have a restaurant in the future where poor people can eat two handfuls of food for two meals at a low cost. You can earn even through such good deeds if you have such a mentality. Through this, people's prayers are accepted, and serving people is also a kind of service. Thank you again for taking such a nice initiative.

This statement just gives you away that this is another write-up just formulated from your thought, this is why Lovesmayfamilis has described it as a good script.

Many folks in the ghetto cannot afford to have a meal even if it is not proper, their concern is just having something to eat, many of them do not care about the nature of the meal, fancy or not.  

I don't believe as well, please provide evidence.

That is one amazing story. You fixed an issue instead of moaning about it. You produced something incredible for his community with your brains, your hustle, and BITCOIN, the best currency on Earth. You are not sitting around waiting for handouts. You are taking charge, making things happen. That is the essence that created the greatest and will once more make it outstanding.

Bitcoin isnt just money. Its freedom. Opportunity. Here we are in the future. This person understands it as well. He's not afraid to embrace new ideas, new technologies. Thats what sets you apart. What lesson is there then to be learned? Nothing complicated about it. Put up a lot of effort, have faith in yourself, and dont be scared to take chances. This guy's got the right idea. One delectable dinner at a time, you are using Bitcoin to grow his empire.

This is just the start. The world is about to change thanks to bitcoin, and this person is driving it. So keep a watch on him. He's heading places, really huge places. Remember, too, that he began exactly where you are.

You think I made it up? Funny. Even I wish it's made up. What life has taught me is that folks who got things figured out are the least empathetic. Like if you're broke and move around town asking for help, you know who's likely to help you? The poor.


We do have violence, but the location of my restaurant is a bit safe. And our problem isn't mostly gang-related but occasional late night robberies. The good news is that folks know those involved. About kitchen stress, I'll have an assistant when it opens and scale up to two later.

I don't know if this is true but have you seen the TV series, the bear? I'm pretty sure that most of the stresses of life in the kitchen is portrayed there so the reason why fancy restaurants aren't a thing in most ghetto areas, not to mention that the possibility that in a ghetto area, that the violence might exist and that you're restaurant might not last long, also, there's the fact that people might not appreciate the fine dining experience because they want to eat something that actually nourishes them and is worth it for their already tight budget.

BTC also help me to take my BSC course from university I am familier with btc since 2014 my father is very poor and not hold enough money to spend for my health and education btc help me to expense my personal expense and support my family also.

Opportunities with bitcoin can help you set up any goals and then realized them all over time, there is diversity in bitcoin adoption a d this has to do with the reason and sole purpose for us adopting it's uses, we have to set a desired applicable target for bitcoin a d this will give us more edge in having a better satisfactory financial service with it's use and not only that, we have to realized the way forward for is to be profitable in bitcoin adoption.

A good script for the series. But make your movie very long. Then your fairy tales may pay off. Housewives love sob stories. And yes, more drama.

What I liked most was the idea of creating a restaurant with expensive food where everyone is hungry.

I can offer a scenario of what might happen next... for free.

Many folks in our community cannot afford fancy food from fancy restaurants. Not that they do not like them, it all boils down to having the money. And I've really been thinking... why can't there be fancy restaurants in our neighborhood since all these people can't afford what's only available downtown and in rich neighborhoods? So I got this idea of setting up a fancy restaurant with good food right in the ghetto, though I didn't have much money. This is the story of how Bitcoin is helping me do it.

Last year, I was close to getting broke when the idea of starting some offline businesses came to my mind. Inspired by hunger, I was sure I'd set up a restaurant so that folks who don't have a lot of money like me can also get good food. Personally, I wasn't really eating good food and sometimes skipped meals. There's this friend that borrows money from time to time. At a point, he started showing some attitude, so I realized I had to buckle up and make some more money for myself by quitting neighborhood influence. I started thinking about what I have to sell to start the business but found nothing - had sold them all when I had no idea. I realized that I could rent out my place, and that's what I did. However, I made sure that I located a spot for the restaurant before renting out my place. After I did, I paid for and moved into my proposed business place after screening it. I used the balance of the money I have to buy a few things for the restaurant, though there is still a lot to do.

Words soon went around that a "standard restaurant" is about to open in our neighborhood. Expectations are quite high. Nevertheless, I made up my mind to open a place that would wow the people. With the help of God, it's possible. That's why I started an article-for-tip service in this forum.  I've been earning small amounts of bitcoins, and spending them on my restaurant project. Folks on Twitter think people like us selling BTC at $70K are idiots. I wouldn't know about that. I ask for tips after writing. It doesn't matter how laborious the work is. They just tip, and I feel every satoshi is worth it. Soon, folks in my neighborhood would know with pride that there's a place where they can eat good food without going downtown or visiting rich neighborhoods. Hopefully, then I'd afford to rent my own apartment again. After all, I'll be selling the most expensive food in the ghetto. My vision though is to make the breakfast affordable so to the poor. 

I wouldn't have this dream without Bitcoin. Anything is possible if we believe. At least, I eat better at the moment . Thanks for reading and do give me some advice on how to realize my vision faster. Do not forget to hire me if you need something written for just a tip.
