Topic: Can I barrow 1 btc from someone? (Read 2509 times)

If you want to flip Bitcoin, why not just open a brokerage account and trade penny stocks or maybe even forex if you have the money for it. You did say you made a few Gs trading PEDs. If you're underage, ask your parents to open a joint account.

mate im just whiling my time out here in the newbie forum so ease off yea?

Whiplash450 is overlooking the fact that, for some people posting here, English is a foreign language.

And that might also be the case for someone who doesn't know that a proper sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.

Wait, why cant the OP just buy some coins to start himself off?

anyone who can't spell borrow shouldn't be able to barrow any bitcoins from anyone

i wish someone would give me a bitcoin lol. I'm trying to buy some and cant even find anyone

My guess agrees with Precog's guess about this situation.
But there is only one way to find the facts, and I'm willing to do that.
No one else was willing to take the risk and put up one BitCoin.
Others have only posted guesses, and to warn this will turn out badly.
It may.
Either way, I'll post here.

The reason he is asking for 1 BTC is because he cannot get it himself, either through his dwolla or his low mhash.

He may be genuine but from an investor and this kid not being your son this a high risk investment. lol, good luck.

The next chapter in the story of PEDTrader borrowing a BitCoin from me is positive for PEDTrader's reputation, but uncertain for his trading project.

Positive: PEDTrader is keeping me informed.
He sent a clear and polite PM to me, right after the Mt.Gox melt-down.
To his credit, he did not just take the BitCoin and disappear.

Uncertain: PEDTrader explained what we all know:
The problems at Mt.Gox cast a pall of uncertainty over the entire BitCoin market.
Affects everybody involved with BitCoin.

Another observation: Before starting this thread, PEDTrader made only a few other posts on this forum.
Nothing much of interest, but he did post a little bit.
After receiving my BitCoin loan he has not posted anything else, anywhere on this forum.
Hmmmm.

To be continued.

.
My loan of 1 Bitcoin to PEDTrader is off to a good start.
(PEDTrader started this thread by asking someone for a loan of 1 Bitcoin.)
Just a few hours after I sent out the Bitcoin, PEDTrader responded with a polite and friendly private message to me.

What intrigues me is that he plans to trade Bitcoins, rather than mine or exchange for merchandise or services.
And there are others on this forum, also starting to trade for profit.
That is a healthy development that will add liquidity to the Bitcoin environment.
I want to encourage it.

PEDTrader, I never said you are here to scam or anything along those lines. Now that you got your 1 BTC everything is solved.

I suggest mod closes this thread because he got what he asked and he can be in contact with his donator via PM

This thread will not end well

Hey, just borrow a decent Gfx-Card from one of your friends that KNOW you, and CREATE 1 btc, then give the card back, then u can try to trade around with your 1 btc... It took me 3 days with an 5830 to create one, no big deal

Okay, Trader, I'll join this game and we'll all see what happens.

I have just sent 1 Bitcoin to your address above.

I am simply asking, no one is required to give 1 BTC to me.  Also in Entropia I had a lot of help getting what I did.  I got many gifts from people, and later on loaned them money when they needed it so they could buy equipment they needed cheap.  I did get burned a few times, so I know what it is like, and I understand people being a bit wary.  Personally I like to see the best in people.  In total I lost 500 dollars because of loaning money out to friends who ran off with it, but the money was never a big factor for me (I never deposited anyways).  Most of the people I loaned money and items to were trustworthy, and returned the money when they could.  Of course I could be lying, but 20 bucks isn't worth all this.

Entropia Universe wise I will not tell you what character I am.  However if you must know I started the VU before the unlimited amps stopped dropping, I forget the VU number.  The graphics sucked, you could swim as fast as you could run, there was no falling damage, the malls were not out yet (CND was), mining still required skill, sweat cost .8 pec a bottle (I might be wrong on this), and there were no guides.  Believe me what I did in Entropia Universe was no lie, I traded and worked my way up, but it was not without a helping hand from some people in the beginning.  Take from this what you will, I might be faking this I might not, but if it is so much trouble then forget I even asked for 1 btc.

As for the wanting to borrow the 1btc, I like to start each venture without any initial investment.  Sure I could invest in myself, but then why not just deposit a couple hundred grand and make a ton of cash.  It isn't about the money for me, it is about starting from nothing (as if I was dirt poor), and making something of it.  I realize this sounds fictitious but it isn't, I am just a very weird character.  Anyways forget this thread exists, and ignore me that is just fine.


FYI:  If I wanted to rip someone off I would of gone for more then 1 btc.

PEDTrader, I usually don't bother in general about people posting stuff like this. I'm doing it because you mentioned Entropia. You realize 1 BTC is $20 and what you doing is making you look bad. If you made what you claim in Entropia, i doubt you started from 0.00 and were asking for free PED or if you happen to be sweating to get a start, you could easily risk $20 to buy you 1 BTC to get you going. This would be simply starting from scratch same way if you would get someone to donate it to you, because its 1 BTC.

Tell me your Entropia name and VU when you started and if its true what you saying I will vouch for you.

I was originally thinking you would get 2 BTC total, not 3 BTC total.  However given the risk 3 BTC in return is fair.  My estimate is that you would get your 3 BTC around the middle of July.  Although this is just an estimate, anything could happen. 

Ok, so what's the turn around time? If I invest 1 BTC when will I get the 3BTC promised?

BTW: I am being serious now.
