Awesome, glad to hear.  Hope all goes well.

Thanks again, you have been added to the list.  Please, PM me the return address I should use.

Dank Bank interest rates have been lowered for new deposits due to decreased demand and for increased stability/sustainability.

Woot! I'm the last of the depositors to be offered 2+% interest!  Grin

Also, thank you for adding the explanation of the soul guarantee to the OP. I have no doubt my coins are safe with you.

Dank, I'm tired of people coming through here and using you as their punching bag. I'd like to deposit with your bank under the soul guarantee to show my support. Can I send you BTC12 and receive 2.2% per week for one month?

I was initially going to only loan BTC10, but twelve has always been a lucky number for me, so I'd prefer BTC12 for this loan. I will be asking for return of my principal in one month.
Certainly, I appreciate your support.  You can use the address in my signature to deposit.  Thank you.  Smiley

OK, done. Since it's already late in the day we can just use September 1 to start calculating interest. You can return the principal to me on October 1. Actually, you can repay on October 6 to give you a full 5 weeks. That way it's simple and we don't have to worry about prorating the interest.

Thank you.

How are drugs bad?

Illegal addictive drugs like Meth, Marijuana, and Crack are bad because they are addictive and lead to many deaths.  It is simply a lie to suggest Marijuana doesn't kill people.  Overdose may not kill you directly, but addiction is often linked with suicide and depression and addicted individuals make terrible choices because of their drug use.

You cannot be physically addicted to cannabis.  You can be mentally 'addicted' to anything.  That's funny though, I recall cannabis helping my depression when I was on the brink of suicide.

Quote
Overall, marijuana is the most prevalent illegal drug detected in impaired drivers, fatally injured drivers, and motor vehicle crash victims.

http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/drugged-driving

Because it stays in your body up to four weeks after ingestion.  Because your body welcomes it.  Doesn't mean they were high when the accident happened.

Quote
There are drugs that allow you to explore your conscience, but I suppose that's a bad thing?

Such drugs only offer false insight into consciousness and spirituality and are dangerous to use.  Countries that have made the terrible decision to tolerate their use have been confronted with reality and been forced to back down.  Drugs do not put you on a bridge to clarity or freedom, only to deception and death.

Oh no!  My dreams of becoming a guitarist are all false?!  You're telling me things I've experienced weren't real?!  But I saw them!  And what you see is real, right?  Life is but a dream, after all.

Quote
While the dried variety, which provides even stronger hallucinations, is already illegal, the decision to ban fresh magic - or psilocybin - mushrooms was taken after a 17-year-old French girl jumped to her death from one of Amsterdam's canal bridges in March after taking them.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/3441105/Magic-mushrooms-banned-in-Netherlands.html

One person kills themselves, possibly because they realized how shitty their life was and wanted to die, so we should outlaw it?  What about the 1/3 teens that kill themselves while drunk?

Quote
Drugs don't control people, people control (or lack) their drug use.  And don't say you don't use drugs

Addiction is a disease recognized by medical doctors, it robs people of their ability to control their use.  I have never used any illegal drugs or dangerous currently legal recreational substances such as tobacco or alcohol and I never will.

Addiction is 95% mental, I'm sure you're addicted to a few things as well.  Doctors rob people of their ability to control their use by convincing them it's a disease.  That's too bad, you're missing a lot in life.

Why is it okay to sit idly watching TV all day, and/or to eat vast quantities of horrible food that diminishes your health?

Absolutely not okay, but I'm not sure what your two wrongs make a right approach is trying to accomplish in this discussion.

No, it is ok, because it's their life, I'm not going to outlaw TVs and fast food because people destroy their selves with them.

Quote
Even if drugs were the most terrible infliction upon us humans, what would you do to fight it?  

You take strong efforts to create the tough laws necessary to reduce drug use as much as is humanly possible.  The country of Singapore is an excellent model in which harsh penalties have been extremely effective in reducing use.  It is a lie to suggest prohibition does not work.

Statistically, no, prohibition doesn't work.  America, the great founder of the war on (some) drugs, has the highest drug use.  While Portugal, a country that has decriminalized drugs, has seen over a 50% reduction since decriminalizing.  Weird.

Quote
I don't know about you, but I don't need the government to tell me what is okay to put in my body.

You are clearly a drug user, and most likely an addict in denial of how little control you truly have.  I can only hope your government does help you one day or you see the light and seek out help yourself.

You got that part right, you, I and everyone else is a drug user.  Ever felt happy?  Or sad?  Or love?  Or had a dream?  Those are the drugs altering your conscience.
And by the way, I'm not a habitual drug user, or drug addict as you would say.

Drugs are a terrible scourge upon the human race.  They ruin people's health, their relationships, and their mental and bodily clarity.  You should be ashamed to consider such a business plan and I hope you reconsider.  You should also note that the sale of paraphernalia intended for illegal use is itself a crime in most civilized countries.  Anyone who has fallen victim to drugs and is considering a purchase from this man can find the best help available here.
Well, I'll start with your first statement.  How are drugs bad?  Drugs are inanimate objects.  What about the drugs made for the purpose of improving your health?  Are those bad?  What about the drugs that makeup your brain?  People ruin their own health and relationships, but many will use drugs as a scapegoat because they're too weak to admit otherwise.

Are there some bad drugs?  Sure.  Heroin probably won't help your life too much, nor prescription drugs.  There are also drugs that do wonders by allowing humans to empathize and open up with each other.  There are drugs that allow you to explore your conscience, but I suppose that's a bad thing?

Is cannabis bad?  An all natural, highly medicinal, cancer curing, drug that's never killed a single soul?

Drugs don't control people, people control (or lack) their drug use.  And don't say you don't use drugs, there are plenty of ways to stimulate the chemicals in your brain other than taking a substance.

Why is it okay to sit idly watching TV all day, and/or to eat vast quantities of horrible food that diminishes your health?  You do realize over 90% of drug related fatalities are caused by legal drugs?

Even if drugs were the most terrible infliction upon us humans, what would you do to fight it?  Make them illegal and create a half trillion dollar global market?  Where dealers can sell to kids without regulation of quality?  Or what if drugs were all legal, regulated and people were properly educated?  Then those who choose to put harmful chemicals in their body can finally let natural selection have it's role.  Then there wouldn't be thousands of murders related to drugs.  Then we wouldn't have people losing their freedom for putting something in their body.

I don't know about you, but I don't need the government to tell me what is okay to put in my body.

That's true, I'd be willing to meet someone for the right amount.  But there is no one on this forum I really trust.  Wait a second, except senbonzakura.  That's it.  I wouldn't mind showing him ID.

So there's no reason for you to trust anyone, but they should trust you with their money because you say so?
As I said, there's different kinds of people, I know what kind I am.  I can trust myself, do you know how much you can trust yourself?

Thank you Andrew and SMTB.

I'll refrain from making comments based on that alone, but I will say it doesn't make you low risk.
Did I say it did?  It doesn't make me a high risk either.  Trust me when I say I will not default on my investors, or not, but don't make claims that I'm at high risk of defaulting based off nothing.

Dank Bank defaulting would mean one of two things happens; I make the egocentric decision to steal everyone's money, which won't happen because I wouldn't allow (nor want) myself to do that.  Or I default by losing all of my money and everything I have built so far this year, which won't happen because I wouldn't let myself make decisions to put me in that situation.

It's really not that complicated, Dank Bank defaulting is bad business for me, so why would I let that happen?  I'm on track to reach my goals now, I have a plan, it's been working out fine, so why would I change what I have going for me?

Nobody wants to default. Just plugging your ears and saying "It can't happen because I won't let it", is naive and shows you have no idea what you're doing. Good entrepreneurs can identify their strengths and weaknesses and use it to their advantage, not just ignore and plunge ahead taking money from anyone who's dumb to give it to you with promises of totally being a millionaire and a rock star. Showing people you are aware of potential problems and have a backup plan is going to get you much more confidence in your abilities than "Can't happen won't let it".

Your family doesn't understand you and won't loan you money, your friends won't loan you money (how"rich" they are shouldn't matter since your stated minimum deposit is ~100 bucks), and you have very minimal success on an anonymous basis on an internet forum. There's one constant among all these situations, you. Might want to evaluate that while you're still young.
You don't understand that my plan is full of back up plans, which is what makes it so good.  That's why a default will not happen.  You also fail to realize the power of belief.  I believe I will become a globally known musician, so it will happen.

My friends would definitely loan me money, however, they don't have money to loan.  I've completed over two dozen transactions, I wouldn't call that minimum success, Dank Bank is still running strong, is it not?

Dank,

I think the main issue people have is that since you insist on remaining anonymous, you could easily take the money with no consequences (besides guilt, and we know for a fact that feeling guilty doesn't stop some people from stealing). It would be an egocentric decision to take the money, but people make those kinds of decisions all the time. Do you see why people are skeptical? Transacting 500 dollars worth of bitcoins with a totally anonymous person on the internet was, in my mind, a gamble. The fact that you are anonymous is what makes this a high risk investment, at least in the eyes of everyone else.


Obviously, I don't think dank is trying to scam. His personality on this forum has been very consistent and unique, to say the least. I think he is an honest person and a really big dreamer. But, it is stil possible that dank's account is just an elaborate scam, simply because he remains anonymous. If dank's account is just an elaborate scam, it is a very creative one and not anything I could have come up with myself. He has been around here for a long time, and I think a scammer would have made off with the same loans that dank repaid long ago.

I am of the opinion that dank has other reasons for being anonymous. For one, he is very open about his cannabis use. It would be easy for someone to imagine dank being a drug dealer of sorts, and drug dealers can be busted for things they say on the internet.

I am looking forward to the day when dank is no longer anonymous.
I'm not that anonymous, TangibleCryptography knows my bank account info, various users I've traded with know my name, now eroxors has my name and address.  Is that not enough info if I were to run with the money?  What else do I need to provide, an ID which could have been easily photoshoped?

There's two kinds of people, those that help others and those that help their self.  I am the former, though I haven't been all my life, I am now and that's what I stand by.  Karma is real, and she's a bitch, so there's no better way to help yourself than by helping other people.

If I was doing anything illegal, I would have picked a better name.  I do not care to have my name plastered on the internet, at this time.  I look forward to that day as well, but I will leave it up to you all to figure out who I am.  Perhaps my music will reveal clues with time.

Rassah, I'm aware the interest rates are somewhat high, they were set that way when I had a high demand for deposits.  Rates are subject to change for new investors so I can adjust accordingly to my need of investments.  Depending on how my ventures go, I may or may not keep Dank Bank around, but if I choose to stop, it'll only be after I return the principle investments.

Andrew, there's no specific lender I trust for that.  I think there information I've shared with the people I do business with should suffice.

Fuck banks, I don't have rich friends, and my family doesn't understand me either, tough position.  It'd be nice if I could get a single loan instead of Dank Bank, but it seems there is too much paranoia when it comes to loaning to dank.

If you can't even get your friends and family to loan to you, what does that say about you?
First of all, I don't have friends, I have two good friends from childhood and a girl.  That's it.

Second, my family doesn't accept me for who I am.  It's hard enough to get them to understand me, let alone get loans from them.

So, tell me, what does that say about me?

And so yet again, the cycle continues of me being attacked by the community, while I continue to follow my word as an honest trader.

Your definition of "honest" and "trader" both differ from mine.


How so?  Have I not fulfilled every payment or loan on these forums?

And one thing you all should understand about Dank Bank, is that I didn't start it to build a big elite ponzi, I started Dank Bank because I really needed money at the time and since people wouldn't give me regular loans, I thought giving them a pretty interest rate might attract investors.  And it did.  And now I don't need your investments, but I certainly welcome them because they allow me to grow faster.

your idea of a safe  investment  was an anonymous multi million dollar loan to buy a mansion  just a few weeks ago

then you changed your investment  to a new car

now you think people should invest in your musical talent or lack thereof ?

a casino and a roulette wheel would be a safer investment IMO

is this a troll thread or are you 12 and bi-polar  ?
That idea was from a year ago, not a few weeks, I don't know where you got that idea. And it wasn't anonymous.

You can have a person that gives you any/everything you ask for to make you comfortable, and they can always chose to be dishonest and run with the money.  The best way to minimize that from happening would be to invest in an honest person, which I am.  If you don't believe that, you have issues with trust.

You claim an insane interest rate, but (1) you are a stranger to us, (2) you claim to have "secret" investments, (3) you have no long-term history... and we are the ones having "issues with trust"? Are you out of your mind? Do you honestly fail to understand why you are not trusted here?
I've been here for over a year, that's not long term enough?

You have no long-term history of making 2-3% weekly: Dank bank only started 7 weeks ago.

If you found a way (or ways) to make a reasonably significant amount of profit, would you go around telling people on a public forum?

I would borrow investment money at a 1-2% monthly interest from banks/family/friends, instead of borrowing from the Bitcoin community at 12% monthly (your scheme), duh!

(Or, as a matter of fact, since I have a long-term history of being a reasonably good investor over the years, I built enough capital that I would not need to borrow money in the first place.)

Fuck banks, I don't have rich friends, and my family doesn't understand me either, tough position.  It'd be nice if I could get a single loan instead of Dank Bank, but it seems there is too much paranoia when it comes to loaning to dank.


I've been here for over a year, that's not long term enough?

Actually, it's part of the problem.  Almost a year ago you were asking for money with no track record and saying that you had grand plans which were certain to make you rich within a year.  You've abandoned those plans for new ones and still maintain that the only thing standing between you, fame and fortune is lack of capital.  You've already had a year in which to show you can commit to a goal, but it seems like you've spent the majority of that year asking for money to cover personal expenses.  If you can't even balance your personal budget, no-one's going to trust you to develop and run a profitable business.  

If you keep changing your goals, you're not going to succeed at any of them because the kind of goals you have take years of hard work to achieve.  I know that what you're saying sounds entirely reasonable to you - pretty much everyone under 25 believes they have a grand idea or 5 which will make them a billionaire if only they can find a backer - you need to start thinking more about how it sounds to potential lenders and investors, though.
No, I haven't had a year to do shit.  I just started living on my own a few months ago, my life was utter shit until then.

My goal has not changed at all (it's not to get a mansion or anything silly like that, none of you know my goal), my plan to reach my goal has improved vastly.  Investors think that my ideas must be too good to be true, so they lack the faith to invest in me, while in actuality, I just have pretty fuckin good ideas.

And so yet again, the cycle continues of me being attacked by the community, while I continue to follow my word as an honest trader.

Why do you need other people's money if, with a 3% per week return, you can just borrow a whole lot of money on your own credit card, or get a high interest payday loan, or mortgage your house, and make all the profit for yourself? Even a 30% a year loan should be profitable when invested in your scheme. Why bother asking other people for money and expose yourself to so much risk?
I don't have a credit card, I rent a house, I've tried to get large loans here before and to no avail.  If one person would give me a loan large enough, I wouldn't need Dank Bank.  Really, anything helps, though.

I love what Bitcoin stands for and how it functions.  I really just want to do business to grow my ventures and ideas, is it so original?
