No Collateral, No Loan.

No need to bother with him, he gets his answer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4961840.msg44739344#msg44739344) already.
@Op: No need to spam the section, the answer will still be NO

I've already explained this a thousand times, and I fully expect to explain it at least a thousand more.

Start off by reading the stickies found at the top of any section prior to posting anything within that section/board. You've missed a couple of key-components :

You're not giving anybody that would consider this loan very much confidence that you'll repay. Your only posts have been asking for money, your account was made yesterday, you have negative trust and no proven experience trading. Even if you were a reputable trader, it is just as likely that you lost the investment as it is that you would forward your profit to repay a loan. To me, there is no guarantee that, even if we take you at your word, that you will be able to repay the loan through the means you've claimed would be your route of repayment.

What guarantee is there that you will not simply run away with the coin?

Hint:  Don't waste too much time typing a reply.  The OP already knows the rules, and is just posting a "drive by" loan request hoping some newbie will fall for it.  They will probably never read your message.  :/

The hope is that others will read it and be able to take away something of value. For every few users that post something malicious, there is someone reading/posting that is genuinely ignorant and looking to get involved with the community with good intentions.

If just one person thinks to themselves "I'll read the stickies", then I consider that a success; whether it is the scammer, the ignorant newbie, someone foolishly considering to fund the loan or just a passer-by that doesn't consider such things as their forum time has become habituated in an unfortunate manner.

I'm sure most of my "tips" go unnoticed, but I know of at least a handful of people that are more better off because of it. To us, it seems like systematically beating a dead-horse, but to those just entering the forum this may be the first time they hear of such things; elementary as they may be.


It's for the newbie that may fall for it, more than anybody.
