Br honest, how many of you are still giving him money in GPUMAX?

So just believe him into calling you right now.


No dank, it does not.  

How can you even claim this? This is the sort of shit millionaires say when trying to sell a shitty book. You're begging for a loan on the bitcoin forums while you pretend to run a bank while everyone makes fun of you.  You really believe that this is the reality you chose for yourself?  Most banks give out the loans, dank.

Where did you even come up with this?  Nothing we observe about the universe suggests that we are creating it with our own thoughts.  That's just New Age bullshit you've attached yourself to to try and convince yourself you don't need to study or work hard, and that you can have whatever you like just by wanting it.  Sorry man, shit doesn't work that way.

Hey, here's a test.  Right now, believe that the money you need is in your bank account right now.  Or just believe that your hookah bar is now complete, ready to open in the location of your choosing, then drive there and confirm.  Report back when you're done.

If the money or the hookah bar is there, then I'll drive to where you live myself and devote my life to becoming your disciple.  If not, then this "What you believe is true" horseshit is obviously false, and you need to get grounded in reality and start taking the damned good advice you've been getting in both of these threads.

I will give you this much, belief counts for a lot.  I'm in my dream job right now.  Granted, getting the job was a matter of pure dumb luck, but now that I'm in it, I'm moving up fast.  I believe I can do it, and that belief drives me to work really damned hard.  That's the key, dank, and that's what you're trying to avoid.  You want success for free. 

You want belief to be the only work required of you, and I'm sorry, that isn't going to happen. It is, in fact, already not happening. You are going to have to work, and there is a right way to open a business like the one you want.  Just believing your way is right does not make it so.  You can't just half-ass this, dank.  You have to do the research, you have to do the footwork, and you have to answer a lot of really tough questions before anyone is going to give you money.  If you tell a prospective investor that your plan is to believe your way to success (which you have already done; everyone here is a potential investor), they'll laugh in your face and move on to someone who can give them solid proof that they will return the money.

Horseshit.

Hey, I believe you will fail.  I guess it's true, or does your belief somehow overpower mine?  Maybe it splits off a new universe so we can both be right?  If you're so sure of this, then surely you are aware of the mechanism by which it works.  Explain the mechanics to me.  How is belief channeled into reality.  What phenomena causes this to occur, and how?  And don't give me some shit about how science can't explain the spiritual.  If it causes a tangible effect on this world, it can be measured and studied.

No seriously, how does this "What you believe is true" garbage make any sense.  Lots of people believe lots of contradictory shit.  What happens with one person's belief conflicts with another's?  I'm sure glad people like you aren't researching medicine or science. 

Sorry dank, but we live in a world that is measurable and has absolute truths.  Your brain cannot overpower them, unless of course, you wanted to be begging on the bitcoin forums for a loan that everyone is mocking you for.  Which of your beliefs brought about this reality?  Masochism?

Here's a quote for you.  "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."  Stop quoting shit like this as if it is some kind of truth. You're just making it up.  Hell, if it is true, why are you here getting mocked while not owning a hookah bar?  Too busy with Dank Glass?  Still working on those seasteading structures?  If you've accomplished something, then please, tell us what it was.  Finally buy a guitar to practice with?

If you're so good at moving numbers around to make profit, why can you not afford food?

Anyone can say they'll succeed, dank.  You have to prove it.  Open the hookah bar.  All you've done is talk about it.  With a perfect infallible plan, a loan should be incredibly easy to get.

Why have you not talked to the real estate agent yet?  I thought you were serious about this.

Oh, and you need music lessons.  I don't know where you got the idea that some rock legends never had them, but I promise you, they did, and they didn't argue on forums in their spare time.  They practiced until their fingers bled.

I don't know where you get all this confidence.  You haven't accomplished anything yet.  You don't get to be smug until you actually do something.  Stop slacking off and talk to the real estate agent.  Any investors watching you right now just see a lazy arrogant ass who hasn't done half the footwork needed to be done.  I guess that's why you're still waiting for funding while a real businessman would already have the bar open at this point.

Except for the fact that you don't have a hookah bar.  Also, the fact that others don't go bankrupt (and if you do any research, you'll see it's because the owners planned well in advance and didn't cut corners or make their customers sit on crates) doesn't mean yours won't either.  

Of course, you won't get any investors until you have the types of solid plans that you have outright rejected doing here.  In the time you've been planning this, a real businessman would have mad the bar already open and running.

Someone else asked earlier, but I guess you missed it.  What did the real estate agent say?  Do you have those floorplans?  You have had more than enough time to get this done, you know, so I expect you have an answer.

Ok, here's a simple question then.  When?  When will you open it?

This is a question a serious investor will ask you (and note, they will ask questions well before committing to funding you, and your current attitude is going to drive them away), and "When I get the money" isn't going to be an acceptable answer.

I know you don't believe in planning ahead, but you'd better believe anyone putting up their money for it sure as hell will.

His name was pirate, and he was offering 7% returns a week, there's no way it wasn't a ponzi and everyone who got taken in it knew it and deserves what they got for trying to game it.

Knowing this place, someone will eventually give it to him anyway.  And knowing this place, he'll run with it, change his name, and do it again while the people he robbed defend him.

Have you now?  Are you a rock star yet?  How is Dank Glass doing?  Your driving service?  Your business building structures for seasteading?

Boy, you sure showed us.

It's so cute that you think investors won't do exactly the same thing.

If you think he mangled your spreadsheet, wait until a serious investor tears into it.  People aren't looking for a hole to dump their money in.  They are going to want to be pretty damned confident they're going to get it back, and they are going to grill you many times harder than this. 

Oh, and they'll do it well before giving you any money, so you can't just keep dismissing them the way you have been.  That you don't even have your spreadsheet finished is extremely unprofessional.  Also, that spreadsheet is a joke and you're going to get laughed at/audited if you ever try to run a business like this.

Where's the multiplier for wishing REALLY hard?

You don't want people to help you make this happen, you just want to them agree that you've done everything right and throw money at you.  You are not at all interested in honest criticism or help.  You're getting valuable advice on very real costs you have not considered from people who have been where you want to be, and you are just dismissing out of hand.

Of course, knowing bitcoin, you'll probably just run off with whatever anyone gives you anyway.

You have no investors because you can't understand everyone asking you questions is a potential investor.  You brush them off, expecting investors to just throw you money, no questions asked.  Since you won't answer any, of course no one will invest in you.  You unwillingness to accept criticism only hurts you further.  You are proving yourself to be difficult and frustrating to work with.

Get this through your head.  All investors are going to ask these questions before they invest.  A few probably already have, and you chased them off.

If you aren't willing to take advice from someone with more experience, you are going to fail.

I'm sorry but ~positive thinking~ is not enough to make a business successful.  We've seen your spreadsheet and your plans, and you are woefully unprepared.  If you find that negative, too bad.  It is a solid fact.  You are not prepared for this venture.  The fact that you think you are does not alter reality.

In fantasy, yes.  In reality, no one in all of human history has ever been proven to have them.  Show proof of just one supernatural occurrence ever having happened.  And I mean real proof, not "a bunch of people said it happened".

Sorry buddy, reality just doesn't work the way you want it to.  I'm sure you'll argue though, so I'll just ask, by what mechanism does your perception of reality work?  If our minds really shape it, how?  And what happens if two people will opposite events?  Do they cancel out or does the universe split to account for both?  What is the process by which it works?  If you're so sure of it, surely you're aware of the mechanics by which it works.  If not, you're just pulling it all out of your ass, and you can't expect reality to mold itself around you.

If it does work, though, why aren't you a huge rock star yet?  And why do you need a loan?  Why not just will the bitcoins to you?

We live in a world that is definable by our observations and and experimentation.  Reality is not as malleable as you claim it is.  This should be evident in the fact that the thread right under this one got a 10000btc loan while you're still uploading shitty guitar riffs while basing your bank on the hope that you'll make it big in rock and roll.

Sorry to come down so hard on you, but no one gets anywhere with this Magical Thinking bullshit.  Live in reality, dank.

Don't you people ever get tired of just losing all your coins to theft and scams?  

I mean, damn, I must have seen the whole "I'm not paying you back because you were mean to me.   " line at least a dozen times here.  Real markets don't work that way.  You pay back what you owe, and you expect that of the people you lend to.  You really think you can build a society off of this?

He does, and suggests that if that offends you, you shouldn't do business with him.  At least he's being honest now.

But don't worry, he only steals small amounts of money.  Nothing wrong with that, right?

So why did you do it?  Wasn't it something about the amount not being enough for you to really consider it theft?

Also, you seem to think my username reflects my beliefs.  Believe me, I have no love of the bible.

I've tried this before, but I'll try again.  The value of what you stole is not important.  It is that your moral code allows for it, as long as the value is low enough.  I think you'll find future business partners will not agree.

I find it abhorrent that your moral values allow you to steal anything at all, and that you refuse to acknowledge it as a moral wrong.  That is a distinct lack of integrity, regardless of whatever magical thinking you live by.

Not that it matters.  No one here takes you the least bit seriously, and you'll never finish any projects anyway, so you won't really get the chance to steal again.
