Hey everyone,
Currently looking for a loan of 15 BTC, or $9,127 at the time of writing this. I realize that I'm a newer user here, so I'll take this next second to explain myself.
I'm currently a student at North Carolina State University, and have recently gotten myself into a bind. My Mom and I have had a falling out, we've had a lot of snow days in the past few weeks and I don't have enough money to make my Credit Card payment, apartment payment (rent), or phone payment. Luckily, I can take my amount of BTC on hand (roughly 3) and pay all of that off.
So why do I need a loan?
Two days ago, I was crossing a highway on my bike when a car ran me off the road and caused me to fall and break my ribcage. So now, I have an outstanding payment with the student health center for medicine, xrays, and for further treatment, totaling over $10,000. My insurance would normally cover it, but my Mom (single mom - never met real father) stopped paying when she could no long afford to and just never told me. So it turns out I don't have any health insurance at all.
If I don't make this payment within two weeks, I'll be kicked out of school. Currently in an engineering program, and I have no idea what to do, so this is my best shot.
Collateral:
I have a $5,000 gaming computer that I custom built in my schools colors (Red, Black, and White). I don't mind to share pictures and specifications to anyone willing to help me, and I'll just say Dual 780 Hydrocoppers, full custom water loop. The works. Includes all peripherals, as well as my Identity, school e-mail, school ID, the works.
Also, I have a scrypt mining rig (currently gets 4 MH/s) that costs about $3,300. It has 4x 290x, and a 1500 Watt PSU.
As for the rest of my collateral? I used to play Halo professionally, and have an entire collection of consoles and games (Including a Halo 4 Limited Edition, ~$500), as well as custom controllers, Astro A40's, etc. 400k DOGE coin (which I can either liquidate to help with the bill, or use as collateral ahead of time).
I know it's a long shot, but I'm desperate. If you look, you'll see I've been a member here for several months, and have just been a lurker.
Thank you to all who read this, I'm VERY appreciative.
This story certainly sucks, but there is no way to prove if it is real or you are just attempting a sob story scam.
Collateral is not what you paid for an item, it is what the item can be easily resold for. Your collateral comes no where near close to the amount you are looking to borrow.
My advice to you is sell your computer, mining gear, and everything else you can. Then, swallow your pride and make up with your mom and she will probably help you as much as she can.
No one here is going to lend to you because you have no way to pay it back.
Edited my post to include this information.
Just worried. :/
