Title: Loans of questions(Pun intended)?
Post by: flamebirdstudios on November 07, 2013, 09:59:22 PM
So I know of a site called BTCJam.com where you help other users get loans by giving in whatever amount you like. So like if Bob Jones needs $100 to buy cupcakes and he needs that money, he can go on the site and ask for that loan and say that he will pay back with 5% interest rate. And I can give him $2 and some other user can give $0.10 and someone can give $90 or something. SO pretty much you give how much you want and then get that money with interest rate. Is there a site just like that but just with dollars instead of bitcoins? If yes, can someone send me a link?

That is called crowdfunding, see kickstarter, indiegogo, ...

You're wrong. On those you get a reward (usually from the project) for your money. On this site you get your money back with interest.
I don't really know any dealing like that in USD.

Indeed, my bad for going too fast on that reply. I know a lot of dealing like that in USD, it is called angel investors.
