But, somewhere along the way, somehow, I gleaned enough common sense to know how to find 20,000 bitcoins (if I actually had the money to buy them) without posting on "craiglist".
So you won't say who you are?
I never said anything about Craigslist....I never said I was looking to buy coins, your other assumptions about the purpose of the coins were wrong ....your assumption about "locates" and long /short is wrong, like much of what you've said it's based on nothing at all ....and I really don't care what you think of Morgan Stanley....I didn't even mention MS in my original post ....only in response to armchair troll keyboard warriors like yourself who claimed I didn't really work for AF, also with no basis.....I was clear elsewhere that I started as a retail broker... that was almost 22 years ago -- I did the job much younger than average and with much better results than average and if you want to judge someone you know nothing about based on the job they had in their 20s which was two decades ago, have at it. The $4.5-5 bn I did was almost all after MS and by transaction I mean placing money into a LP or other fund which I raised.
I know it's much easier on the Internet, hiding behind anonymity, to mudsling and make accusations ....but when there is no basis in truth and there is no statement the other person has said which is untrue or misleading then it doesn't serve the mudslinger very well.
Why would I say who I am? I am not asking people on a public forum for anything. Especially, a public forum that is inhabited by hackers.
I think highly of MS, it was hard to get a job there in the 90s. But, you did not work there so it is irrelevant other than they replaced the sign above your door one one day with MWD. You are the one sensitive about it.
The "craiglist" was an indication of the equivalent of what you are doing....
If you do not want to buy the coins OR to use the coins in any way, you should be able to do what you please WITHOUT any coins. If you think your idea is so brilliant, you should air it here. Some strong criticism may actually help you.
If your idea had any credibility, and you only needed 10-20k bitcoins AND could make the person or people that held those coins money, it is VERY easy to find people that have that many coins. Why don't you hire a high school student familiar with google. It should not take him more than a day to get you a list of 20 people. And yes, I think you are a little dense, if you were successful at smiling and dialing in the 90s and you cannot find these people yourself.
Or, your idea a good one mostly for yourself and the easy to find people, do not feel like helping you make money with their coins. Simply air it.
