Lesson learned, don't ask for help, just help yourself!

Sell the gold bars for U.S. cash. Taking on a high interest BTC loan is only going to make your financial situation worse.

Pay off your debt.

Get on with your life.

Your sob story from a purchased account isn't impressing anyone around here, and begging isn't allowed.

Excuse me, I was not begging....that's embarrassing if I came off that way, and one gold bar would not fetch much, especially when I should keep it, being sentimental.

The account's not purchased I was simply trying to see what the community thinks of those whom ask for the publics help where many times some whale "blesses" that person and solves the issue instantly. Yeah I'm regretting posting this, especially without a yes or no question table that should have been added for quicker answers and a better understanding.

Thanks for the advice, you're right about taking on high interest loans.

1. gold as collateral.. not really. unless your willing to hand it over to a trusted third party that both sides can agree on.. as an escrow
2. bitcoin has a more volatile price and a higher perception of deflationary value. any loan more then a couple weeks repayment would require a much higher collateral to obtain bitcoin.
3. its much easier for you to just sell the gold and pay off you debts. after all that 5% along with other debt interest would far exceed any gold deflationary value appreciation.

you really would be better off selling the gold to your "wealthy friends" and ask them to just hoard it and you will buy it back off them (for sentimental reasons) later, when your situation improves

So do you think it's shameful to be asking the international community for assistance??

I always have up until a breaking point the last few weeks.


Thanks for the prompt input and opinion! I really appreciate it guys.

Had a issue with my car insurance once and got hold of a lawyer. He told me I had a case but they would make me pay equal in lawyer fees.

But I think this equates to how you want to see yourself in life. Personally think you move on and do what it takes on your own, you will respect yourself more for it in the long run.

asking strangers to hand you bitcoin.. pretending its a loan.. before deciding to give up your gold(temporarily) to friend who are 'wealthy' and have some trust and knowledge about you.. umm.. theres a few holes in that mindset.

not even sure why you would be trying to talk your friends into a bitcoin deal when your current assets are gold and current liabilities are fiat.. neither of which have anything to do with bitcoin.

use the gold as collateral to get dollars from people you know..

Asking strangers their opinion on asking for assistance from people, when I had money earlier in life I donated all the time to peoples GoFundMe, but am simply asking whats the opinions and stigma behind asking for assistance.

I have found my answer, and it's that there is a big stigma and sense of embarrassment for asking for assistance to a community, even quite shaming

this is the internet.
anyone can come here make up a sob story and ask for donations
poeple try this all the time
the threads get deleted...

franky1 is right toying with bitcoin makes 0 sense for you.

Bitcoins are too valuable no one will be willing to loan them out for less the 5% interest

fiat is cheap like dirt you can get it for free

0% interest  = free money

problem solved.

My credit is terrible due to using that to get by and the website is for Canadians only! I'm in America.

Do you still live on 96th?

You're cool, bud.

A couple questions, if you don't mind, bud. Is it safe to assume that your current debt isn't currently detrimental to your overall well-being? I have reason to believe that you've gone to school to learn to code. Is that correct? If so, what are coding skill sets?

I was learning Python and so forth and then I had surgery to remove metals from my wrist, which further damaged my wrist and I have not coded in around 5 months, so very elementary unfortunately, but my wrist should eventually do better as therapy goes on and I will be an excellent programmer =D I'm also interested in CyberSecurity and own IceyFit LLC (supplement company that my partner abandoned me with after he fell ill to substance abuse- the company has prototypes but he was the one with the credentials / CEO / $ so being a founder of a hole in the wall LLC is nothing)

Of course its detrimental to my overall well being, knowing I'll never be able to have anything in my name or own my own assets due to this ridiculous fraudulent judgement against me when the other guy was at fault.

Hey life's tough... oh wells.

I do not understand this aspect of never owning anything in your own name. There are two simple ways to fix this for the most part. One you get equity in something and use it to build into something bigger like buying a cheap apartment.
Once you own a residence a lot of doors open up for you. Other aspect is here in Canada a bankruptcy can be off the books in less than 7 years,I know the States harsher in this aspect but you can still rebuild your credit. This is speaking from experience and it also relates to my first post to you.
You have to understand that things happen for a reason and everything that has happened to me in the past that was bad turned into a blessing down the road. I was a arrogant snotty nosed kid and any one I judged I became and walked farther down that road. Learn from your issues and move on,do not let these things wear you.
