I do not object to his cautious mentality, surely 45 BTC is too much money.
But I am not really interested, my last deal was with a guy buying 1.6 M for 84 BTC, he sent in two batches, each 42 BTC.
All I say is that if you do not know me or trust me, you better go and buy from some other seller with more patience.
I can not do 500K in 9 batches after my accounts being tested for half an hour, no insisting to sell!
Good day.
I'm the one that bybitcoin is talking about here.
Bybitcoin, I'd like to point out that I emphasized in my PMs to you that I wanted to connect personally with you on phone or skype or something to work out the details of a deal, including who sends first, how much, and so forth. Instead your entire reply to me was:
It is alright but you should send first.
Which comes across to me as arrogant, and you ordering me to send first. You may not actually be arrogant, or bossy, but that is how I interpreted your reply.
The way I see it, the potential deal we were talking about is worth more than many college graduates earn in an entire year, and I will treat it seriously and with respect. In my opinion, your approach is too casual.
And lets face it -- neither one of us are newbies in the bitcoin scene. I have a longer history of P2P trading than you, and you have shown a lot of passion and generosity in promoting and subsidizing the Nxt community. So neither one of us is some scrub in off the street trying to buy thousands worth via paypal.
I think it's great that you found someone else to send you
BTC42 based on some PMs that you guys traded, and I'm glad it went well for both of you. Note, though, that this person is not willing to buy 500k NXT from you today.
There are only a handful of people around that trade in the sorts of volumes we're talking about here. It's really in everyone's interest to build relationships with others so that down the line when we want to move bitcoins or NXTs around, we have people we're comfortable doing business with that we can call on when needed.
Incidentally, I do sales for a living and have clients that spend annually anywhere from $10,000 and over $1 million with me. So I make my living making deals with people and building networks and relationships.
I judged, that based on your posting and trading history, the chance of something going wrong had I sent first was <2%. But the chance that my house burns down this year is <1% and I still buy insurance against that. I was more interested in talking to you and getting to know you than quibbling over do I send
BTC5 or
BTC25 at a time. But for a deal worth US$40,000, a phone call and 15 minutes of your time I do not think is too much to ask. Again, though, that's just how I do things in my real job and what I'm used to doing to put food on my table. So just like you don't want to spend an hour waiting for transactions to clear, I don't want to send
BTC45 because I was ordered to in an 8-word long PM. Maybe our styles are just different.
Just sharing another perspective...
