Then why don't you do something with those BTC publicly that would let people know you're a serious individual? For example:
- There is a non-profit Bitcoin convention coming to Amsterdam in 2013. Why not contribute to them in the form of sponsorship? It would help your reputation more than any small amount of bitcoin loans
- There are some websites that people currently are afraid are scams. Why not take one for the team and see if they're real or not so that others can benefit from your risk taking? That would build more reputation than any small loans.
Great, thank you for this information. I will now lock this thread and think up a better community building effort
