I'm on OP's side for this one.
The agreement was completely denominated in BTC with no mention of any fiats. As such, there should be no expectation on the borrower's side that the loan should be adjusted into fiat terms if BTC does climb significantly.
What if BTC prices went down instead of skyrocket? Then would the borrower be liable to pay the loss in fiat?
Although, if the borrower was willing to repay a lump sum and settle the loan altogether I think OP should be lenient and accept a discounted loan value. But that's not an obligation imo.
Topic: Loan Defaulted [Continuous] (Read 249 times)
240$>3800$ didn't understand. I think you mean 0.025=240$.
Correct. The principal amount was about $240 at the time, and the total remaining (0.015+0.001*46) is about $3800 now.I don't think it's fair to convert amounts into dollar terms. Especially not in terms of the values they once had. 1 BTC will always equal to 1 BTC.
Had bitcoin continued to decline since 2019, this could also have gone in the opposite direction.
While I personally oppose such high interest rates, it is up to lenders and borrowers to come to an agreement.
I support the flag because I believe that Continuous has violated the contract. At the same time, despite numerous attempts to accommodate him, he leaves a retaliatory negative feedback to shasan.
The flag has enough to mark the profile red.
This is very sad. You help someone when they are in need, and they stab you on your back. The user woke up recently which means the account is not even in the original hand. Maybe someone can ask him to sign an address.

I saw on DarkStar_ very clear and orderly management of his loans.
There is no guarantee that DarkStar_ do not get scammed. If I remember he also had some scam accusations against some users. The business to give money to others is a risky business after all. 
what was the reason for the extension of loan repayment?
Asking for an extension every day or two sounds like from someone who has a gambling problem. also, the promise of high fees sounds desperate, you as an experienced lender should recognise that.
Did you ever calculate, what if he takes a regular loan with your regular interest rate, how much debt there would be at this point?
You have a right when you say "I usually do not make any offer, I took offer from borrower. So, it is not my fault if the person offer more and then blame me." although it does not act professionally. It will be interesting to see this loan with your usual interest rate.

Obviously, I should be on your side in this situation. However, there was a feeling that made me feel pitiful for that guy. You did the right thing in this situation, as you both reached an agreement and agreed to follow it. But in terms of profits, 0.001 per week is too big a fee for any loan I've ever known before. Even for illegal organizations where I live, 6% profit per week is very high.
Surely he was not able to fully repay this money, as it was beyond his ability. Personally, I see that he put in effort for a long time.
And again, I respect you for being silent when he was inactive. I appreciate it very much, as the money you received up to the moment he disappeared is far beyond the original amount. I also don't understand why that guy left you with a negative feedback instead of an apology
Personally, if I were you, when I got the apology and the sincerity that he couldn't pay that money, I would probably ignore it.
Anyway, I think you got a good return based on the BTC price, you can be happy for it, right?

I would blame all these because of the skyrocketing price of bitcoin. I am also a victim of the same. And at this moment I am not continuing with my lending business too.
Sorry for your loss buddy.
When two party is in an agreement then it does not matter if this is too high or too low. Besides we are not considering the dollar value but the BTC amount.
Flag supported. @Continuous, if the issue resolved then please feel free to PM me. I will remove the support.
Sorry for your loss buddy.
0.015BTC+0.001BTC per week
Where I live, this is about 20 times more than the maximum interest anyone is allowed to ask. One of the reasons for this maximum is to limit exponential debt growth, because that would very quickly make debts impossible to repay.When two party is in an agreement then it does not matter if this is too high or too low.

and the total remaining (0.015+0.001*46) is about $3800 now.
If the borrower wanted to repay or contacted me back for negotiation then I may not asked for these amount. The borrower logged to provide me negative feedback(the feedback which s/he was given was removed by him/her and gave new feedback after the accusation and contacted with me to blame on telegram. Lets say something about this 3800$. If the price goes 3.5K$ which was gone before price up. Then it could be too low. And if any borrower take loan now and stop communication and come back while price go too below then what will happen?I stopped creating scam accusation if the borrower stay offline, I just give negative feedback. But I have to create scam accusation while the defaulter come back and there is a chance to make loser other forum member.
240$>3800$ didn't understand. I think you mean 0.025=240$.
Correct. The principal amount was about $240 at the time, and the total remaining (0.015+0.001*46) is about $3800 now.Quote
the fact is that s/he defaulted loan by not repaying as well as stopping communication.
This seems correct, but I don't like supporting a Flag based on screenshots.Quote
Note: I usually do not make any offer, I took offer from borrower. So, it is not my fault if the person offer more and then blame me.
I noticed that. It wasn't a smart move. Is that correct?
It might be I have not counted total. I have added all according to our discussion.Even though this was agreed upon, and even though he's very late paying back, I don't think it's reasonable to expect another $3800 for the initial $240 loan.
First of all I dislike extension. Those who have asked extension or took loan from multiple person defaulted loan (it happens atleast 40% time to me). The borrower took loan about 2 years ago. And all time extension fees offered by him. According to his/her offer the loan amount is many more than I mentioned. first time when the borrower stopped communication the due amount was about 0.09BTC or something like that. After few months s/he contact back with me and gave another two months where repayment should be 0.05BTC. So, the amount is too low than this borrower wanted to pay also took several months extension free. On that 0.05BTC s/he paid partial on several extension. And stopped communication while due was 0.015BTC+extension fee until then.240$>3800$ didn't understand. I think you mean 0.025=240$. I cant remember how much the price on that time. And the repayment happened while price was low s/he never paid 3800$. If you count 0.076BTC then repayment happened about 3 times of innitial loan amount. But if the person didn't take loan from me or not asked extension from me then I may make many more than that amount. It is not a fact which I could or couldn't, the fact is that s/he defaulted loan by not repaying as well as stopping communication.
Note: I usually do not make any offer, I took offer from borrower. So, it is not my fault if the person offer more and then blame me.
How much did you receive in total in return for this 0.025BTC loan (I don't want to add up the amounts myself)? Continuous' Sent feedback shows:
To me, this looks like someone who tried very hard to pay you back, but couldn't afford it because the late-fees keep going up faster than he can repay you. If it's true you received (quote a lot) more than the principal amount, might I suggest to let this one go? I know it sucks, I know it's easy for me to say as it's not my money on the line, and I know it's largely caused by Bitcoin's very high bull run that makes loans in Bitcoin very risky, but at the rate this is going he won't ever be able to pay you the full amount (which increases by $60 per week).
I told to repay within 24th may or each week s/he should give 0.001BTC per week which was agreed by him/her.

I have read it and the moment that the second time that the defaulter promised to pay back, I know for a fact that they aren't going to pay back that loan, this is the biggest risk in loaning online, I hope that OP will get paid and if not then I wish that the karmic cycle will strike hard on this defaulter because they are hindering a business.
