Butterzone to the rescue!  Now watch your mouth- I didn't say anything fallic.  You wanna get all flirtatious with me won't work.

You seem to be an older, angry white dude.   I feel for ya, man, I do.  Those transgendered foreigners, especially the jews, muslims and blacks- they're ruining your country!

Hey just for kicks and giggles, what if you put a bullet in one of those mystery boxes of yours 

You're young, BayAreaCoins, I figure.  I've seen you on LBC forums (I think it's you) and, trust me, in ten or twenty years, you might think differently about your viewpoints now. 

Sorry Wheelz

Thanks for the warning!  The aforementioned pm sounded too good to be true!  I'll tell the fake Wheelz to f* off...unless that is the real Wheelz...then I'd be interested...just give me the right address   

I have to agree.  To the OP, seriously, that's how you want to make money?  And you'd like the notoriety?  

You're in a bind because you're asking for Asian wages from someone who lives in the U.S.  Sorry, I would want 10 times the amount.  But, for free, I would advise you to read To Kill a Monkingbird and House on Mango Street.  These are relatively easy reads and yet they have a lot of texture.  If you search online for the meanings/motifs, you will be able to understand completely these 2 books.

You then may want to go to Amazon and look at the reviews that these authors got for their books.  Stick with reading 2 or 3 of the really long reviews and only 5 stars for each book, because they will give you the most info on each author and the recurring themes.  (Major themes with both authors includes racism, sexism.  )You will start to see patterns, and then you're good to go start writing away!

Good luck!

for about $4.50.  I can give you a start- both authors talk about girls, usually girls who don't necessarily have it easy, but they are strong girls.

For the $4.50, I am sure someone else who has more to gain could do a better job than me.

I thought backpages accepts bitcoin.  I could be wrong, but I know that paxful has some connection to setting up bitcoin ads on backpage.

So, it would stand to reason that many of the sex workers advertising on that site would accept bitcoin.

I like the marketing idea though.  Imagine telling your s.o. that you have to meet with bitcoin clients and they are all johns and hookers!

Why would you just buy a site without doing a little homework to see if the site was reputable?

Oh wait, I know: SCAM!!!

Thanks to Mark and BG4 for revealing this lazy, scamming scammer.

Yes it is.  The game is gambling, and you are looking for investors.

The risks are too high because you're a newbie in the forum.  What did you expect people to think?  You think you're just going to be able to get trusting investors?  What have you done in this forum?  Have you made any investment in this forum yourself? 

This is advice for starting over, because you were too quick to ask for investors:

1) Start a new account.

2)  Post helpful posts.  You know a s*load about gambling it seems.  Why not help other gamblers out with pro tips and insights?

3)  As you develop some kind of name, you might want to buy something from someone on the forum from someone who has green with a decent number.  Talk about gamble, take one yourself- send payment without using escrow.  That will help establish you as trusting.

4)  Once you become a member, then, MAYBE you ask for investors, but make it small and limited.  Ask for reputable members of the forum to invest just a little.  wait for their feedback.

5) Slowly add more investors while working out the kinks.

6) Grow your business slowly, but steadily, and you will become successful.

Yes, those are good points.

Before you learn how to sell, you should first get the buying part down.  Because you are new, many traders won't sell to you.  But if you look hard enough, some will, but they may offset the risk of newbies being possible scammers buy charging you a little more.

After every trade tell the trader that you will give good feedback and ask for the same back.  Like what  pooya87 said, you have to build up your trade history, and every positive review helps.  The newer the review, the better too.  If you have old reviews, and no new reviews, that gap may scare off sellers that they are dealing with a newly bought account.

These guys did a good job explaining it.  I'm a part-time trader on LBC.  Check out my profile:

https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/bill321/

it is very competitive, and there are scammers everywhere.  Although you can make money, it is hard.  Yes, it is fun, but I have to watch my back every minute, online and offline. 

Also, the money I make (U.S.D) is hobby money.  I don't think I could live on it full-time.  Another thing you have to beware of when doing a lot of trades day in and day out is getting attention by the banks.  Forum posters tell their tales of woe when the bank closes their account(s).  It can mess with your credit score and it may be harder to open a bank account with other banks.  While many people brag of making good money, I think only a small percentage do.  Don't get me wrong, I think you can make a living at it.  But you have to be smart and bundle it with other things, like maybe website design, security, seo..or if you have other financial experience/licences.

If you want to learn the trade, localbitcoin forums can be like a textbook.  The search feature allows me to search for anything like exchanges, legal, bank, scams, etc.

Expect to be scammed at least once, and you will live to tell about it.

For such a small amount, I would either try someone on this forum and use escrow, or try localbitcoins.  If that doesn't work, see if you can do a group buy with a couple of friends.

It's good to see that you are being conservative for your first buy

I have one that's legit.  It is for $25.  If you pick a reputable escrow service, like SebastianJu or OGnasty, and you pay the fee, make me an offer.

Thanks!

Was this site down for a while?  It isn't showing up on alexa.

I think I would go temporarily homeless.  Really I would just live out of my car.  I have read about this whole subculture that does this.  I would also get a job in an office. after everybody leaves, I would sleep in the office and wash myself in the public bathrooms.

In hindsight, if anyone of us put 100k into bitcoin a year ago, it would have doubled!

But, how many of us could have taken all the up and down of the market?  I think I personally would have had a nervous breakdown or a heart attack.  Plus, btc can be very unsafe--imagine if you doubled your btc to 200k worth.  How safe would you feel?  Yes your wallets may be backed up and safe, but if someone held a gun to my head, no passphrase with 2fa is going to stop the criminal from getting my btc.  

If it has to be in a year, then I would consider trading, because, for 100k, you could get a pretty good price on bitcoin.  I think you could resell them at a decent markup.  I would then continue this cycle of arbitrage, and I think I could double in a year.  

You could also buy some stocks that have the potential of doubling in a year, but are still safe, like Apple or Google.

Lots of good advice on this thread, especially using several mixers and wallets at timed intervals and using a middle man to preserve your identity.

You still run into the problem of having too much wealth.  If anybody were to find out, you would have a lot of explaining to do.

Kinda like on Breaking Bad, when the car wash wasn't enough to launder the money, so Walter is buying barrels in the desert.

You would have to be very careful in how to spend it.  I read one way to launder money is to open a bar and pay your friends with the laundered money to frequent the bar.  I still think that between the sophisticated computing systems looking out for patterns of laundering money and people who are hunting down money launderers it is pretty tough. 

There are many traders from EU on localbitcoins.  If you can't find any ads for your country, you can post in the forums and I'm sure someone will take the trade offer. 

Also, many traders do international trades, so if best deal is outside of EU, you're just a wire away.

Kinda funny looking at the op, and thinking about 2015 price of btc

You can buy them from me, depending on what you mean by large sum of bitcoins.  I can sell up to 20 btc on a given day.  I am a reputable trader on localbitcoins.  I am willing to negotiate, depending on the amount of coins you need.  I can go as low as 2% above spot, based on google:  https://www.google.com/#q=btc+to+usd, and you will avoid wire fees.

Check out one of my ads https://localbitcoins.com/ad/325144/cash-out-your-bitcoins-boa-to-boa-online-trade-using-computer-or-phone.

While you're there, check out my reviews.

I also to local cash trades if you live in the U.S. in the New England area.

There are pros and cons to doing online trades on LBC.  The pros: you are dealing with a trustworthy trader, and you will get your bitcoin immediately.  The cons: You have to be from the U.S., you have to meet minimum requirements, and, if you are doing an online trade to my bank, you will give up anonymity. 

I am willing to consider using escrow service here, like SebastianJu if you would prefer.  Fees to be negotiated.

PM me if you have any other questions.  Thanks!
