Title: Can I start a crowdfunding here without ruining my reputation?
Post by: jacee on November 10, 2015, 03:09:05 AM
So yea, as the title says. I was wondering if I can start a crowdfunding project in here for my college education for next year this coming June. I don't know if my saving will be enough so I was wondering if I could get a little help from the bitcoin community.

You see I don't want my reputation tainted in here so before making an action I tend to ask. So do you guys think I can do this or should I not just do it here?

 Thanks for suggestions.

I'm 19. Nope. There are some sholarships available but they hardly cover the expenses needed for school so I can't much refer to that. Student loans? I hardly know any that offer this in my country. Getting a loan for education is not that easy in here. :(

I suggest that you read the "Newbie Readme"

It will help you to avoid making posts that will be deleted.

I would not suggest you to risk your reputation (trusts) here. I am sure there is other crowdfunding websites out there that could do a better job. You are 19, you are able to get a Paypal. So most of the crowdfunding sites out there should be able to reach you.

Try to Google for government grant (?) in your country and you should be able to find some article.

Fair warning, as soon as someone starts begging or posting their btc addy asking for donations, they are quickly labeled a scammer, hit with neg trust, and possibly banned depending on where you post it.  I would suggest you not bother, as you probably will get little to nothing anyway, and just go the traditional route and get a student loan.  Be very wary though and read through them thoroughly.  My wife and I are currently stuck paying about 95K on loans with over 8% interest because her parents screwed us.  So just do your homework and learn how the loans work and you'll be fine.
