Topic: Bored Loan. Looking for obscene amount, like 500 BTC. (Read 2139 times)

Ha Ha Ha,

I don't have anywhere near that much to be able to loan you. But if you wanted to invest in me however, I could then re-invest in you.  lol

I like your boldness and sincerity. Actually, that is a big amount to most of us (not you) and someone lending you to get back the coins next year is almost impossible. If it could be something like one month or two, then it could be easy to transact.

What if I use OP as my bitcoin wallet.... LOL

Someone should define what "Long-term" is for this sub-board.

Maybe > 1 month might be ok from a start point of view.

That's not like we are all bitcoin millionaires 

I indeed have a whole coin, but it's in cold storage and i'm not willing to touch it for those joke. If you don't  feel too bad about spending one cent in fees I can cover mine, just for jour lulz, and send 0.5 btc (actually, the biggest sum i've never trusted anybody for) to your address

Sorry, this really doesn't make much sense to most people. But hey, we can shorten the time to a day. Just don't send me less than a whole coin, otherwise I will be forced to use a transaction fee. (If it's more than 1 BTC, it will eventually confirm, even with no tx fee.)

The problem is people change as time goes on.. some rich people becomes poor, some poor people becomes rich. Same as honest and bad people

I have not an " obscene"  amount to send you, but I would easly trust you for all my btc. The real matter is: why locking my money for a whole year for a (nearly) 100% chanche of ROI+0% ?

That make no sense to me...

Hehehe, dear thread starter, you actually made my day, this post made me realize we are all getting to serious because of all the scheme of the scammers.. never expect to find this on a Loan section..
good stuff.. good stuff

I don't have 500 BTC .... i'm really sorry for that

all i can offer you is 0,001 btc just for your entertainment.

If you have 500 BTC ...

hiho,

is your offer still active?

maybe its a nice chance to gain some reputation among the community 

yours

Thank you and Happy New Year! I'm just bored is all. I do this kind of crazy proposal about once a year. So until next year ...

No problem, just thought I'd point out especially number 3. We have enough cr*p in this community as it is, don't need to be attracting more scum..

Just to repeat, nothing against you at all and I respect a lot of what you do Happy new year anyways!

1. Not likely. I'd say, extremely not likely. It's possible, yes, but I say the odds are almost negligible. I am biased, since I'm the one talking here. What could happen is I get hit by the proverbial bus, but then, that's a really bad situation for me I'd rather not be in.

2. 500 BTC, right now, is only 200,000.00 USD (two hundred thousand US dollars). I can't even buy a decent house with that money. Where would I go with that money? (With a small family of two toddlers.) It's not high enough for me. Actually, I dare say, no amount is high enough for me to even think of trying something. There are some things in this world that can't be bought with any amount of money, or bitcoins.

3. Yes, maybe, not a very well thought out post. I'm not encouraging scammers, and the only scammers who would be encouraged are other "Trusted" or "Hero" or "Legendary" members.

I'll let this thread die if no one responds. Go about your business. Nothing here. Just some bored bitcoiner.

With trusted people, with legit dox exiting the forum for 10 +- BTC, this is not particularly good practice.

(1) The account could be hacked, sold or all the usual excuses could be brought into play.
(2) 500 BTC is a lot of money and easily enough to disappear forever, so the "you know where I live" argument isn't valid.
(3) Assuming this is just a bit of fun/a joke, for someone who I've seen with very good intentions on this forum [and for which I do give you credit], its really not a very well thought-out post. At the very least it will encourage other scammers who actually are corrupt to try this kind of thing and run with the funds. It will encourage thoughtless over the internet handing over of BTC, which is in most cases how people here get burnt.

Hi Quickseller,

For some reason, I was expecting you to reply here (or maybe one of the other "scam busters"). But for all the things you just mentioned, it's really really bad for me if I get hit by a bus. It's bad enough the lender won't get his money back, but I think, it's just really bad for me to be dead.

I do have a dead man's switch (which has never triggered) that I used to use on my other stuff, like the lotto I ran a few years ago.

But thank you for being polite. I appreciate it. I'm half expecting the next reply (from someone else) is going to be a direct insult already, and I am prepared for that.

Again, I would just like to say, I'm not going to scam you, and I'll try to work something out before you send the coins, to make sure someone else will send it back to you, or actually, to just simply set my switch to email you the private key so you can redeem it yourself, in case I'm dead. I think a couple of days beyond the agreed deadline is reasonable.

Now, of course, this dead man's switch might just get hit by "the internet bus" and go offline, that wouldn't be my fault. I do have a google account with "inactive" account manager, that acts as a dead man's switch, but the earliest it will send an email is 3 months from the time I get hit by a bus. I don't think google is going to get offline anytime soon.

Regardless of if this is a scam or not (I am not saying that it is), there is a non-zero chance that any potential lender will not receive their BTC back. Even if you are not going to scam, it is possible that you would get hit by a bus, then a tsunami hits where you live destroying all your backups (among other very low probability scenarios). However in return for these (low) risks, the lender gets nothing in return, and as a result I don't think this would be a good deal for a lender.

On the other hand, if there was some reason why someone needed someone to hold a few hundred BTC for a day then they may benefit from this deal.....assuming of course they believe they can trust you with such an amount.

Interesting thread. Will be watching.

Well, I'll loan you 0.002 BTC 

No need to repay... It's a joke anyway
