OP, what is your background? Martial arts? Military? Police? Any sort of training? I'm interested in old school, as in, not the ones I see on UFC these days. (And I've watched since UFC 1, more than 20 years ago.) I've also competed in some local MMA, but everything else, I can not really do because my training and practice isn't really "fair" or "competitive".

Few years of boxing.

No, I would not pay for this. Also few comments which made your post look bit suspicious altogether; first of all that screenshot proves nothing. You have yourself written your nickname, 'fightclub' in it and circled it in paint. Anyone can do that for a screenshot they found online.

You also mention 'pouring thousands of euros' in your projects. Now if you use euros as currency, why would you use btc-e as an exchange? Yes, they accept EUR deposits now but not too while ago they only operated in USD. Europeans usually use Bitstamp or Bitfinex.

Lastly it is just ridiculous how you could lose 115 BTC due to 'bad management'. Like, what does that even mean? You tried to make money exchanging and bought high, sold low? You gave them away? You kept them in exchange and got your account hacked? What the hell is 'bad management' in situation like this?

Escrow should answer all your suspisions, unless you are talking about the extra money that will go to building the fight club website..

I have included my nickname in the pics so nobody can say "I found the same picture online, you lied"..

I bought first bitcoins with MtGox as it looked reliable and was the only big exchange I think at that time. Then I transfered them to btc-e when MtGox got DDOS'ed by somebody. I lost half of the bitcoins at that time (from 500 went to 250). Made a "quick" sale when the price was crashing, but it only sold an hour later when the price was the lowest..... Smiley then bought them back at higher price. Btc-e was the second biggest after MtGox...

And your last question. I am a little crazy guy: Some time ago I converted all the bitcoins I had left to litecoins when they were at 14 dollars. I was sure of another litecoin boom. I told myself I either gonna multiply what I have left and become rich as fuck or loose all of it and make it again some other way. Since I was told on many occasions by the freelancers I employed that the projects I was doing are nearly finished I thought to myself fuck it - if I loose the money - I will make it all back when my projects kicks off. You see - Im really confident about their success..

Litcoin gone "dead" since then - dropped to 1-2 dollars.. I  had to sell them as I had loans to pay every month and I thought to myself - I will just pour all I got into my projects and finish them at last before I run out of money. If I did finish them I would not care much about how much money I lost, cause I knew Id make shitloads cash in the future..

The projects turned out to be far from finished, opposing to what the coders that I employed say and to what my business partners say, who were also the coders in one of the projects. In one case the freelancer gave up as he was incompetent to finish it properly and every next person I employed was basically rewriting stuff over and over again... It is my fault for listening incompetent people, trusting them, not taking preventive steps etc etc... I could talk all night about what I have learnt from it..

Now you might think im stupid and Id agree with you.. Im the biggest idiot in the galaxy when I think about it.. but at the same time I have learnt a lot about what not to do and I learnt more about myself. It was a painful but great experience. Now I am going to use it not fail again.

Here is a pic of one of the projects, a cryptocurrency exchange we were building and run out of the reseources http://puu.sh/nAuw9/91a27da0f1.png , didn't want to post it but fuck it.. You will not find this exchagne anywhere online so I hope it somehow shows that I am not talking bulshit.

I don't really think a fight club is that entertaining.  At least not enough to pay to see.  Good luck though, I hope it works out.

Hi.

Id like to ask you guys if you would like to see some action - like seeing me fighting with another guy of my size for some bitcons? If you donate me 2 bitcoins or so, through escrow, I will record my fight and upload it on youtube for you.

The reason I am asking is I used to be high on bitcoins http://puu.sh/nyAqI/0597da1254.png but i lost it all due to bad management.. I blame my depression. Now I need to get some capital to get back into the game. By game I mean creation and finishing of my bitcoin projects that I poured thousands of euros into before I lost ALL of my capital.

Any extra bitcoins will go into creation of a website fight-club style, organising, streaming fights. Id like to add a functionality of betting to it as well Smiley

What you guys think? Let me know. If you help me run this project I promise to deliver you some good show with some surprises as the time goes by..

Neal Fletcher, is that you?
