Thanks Vod!


* = I run a business & already have 24 investor lenders onboard who receive high interest rates because they have lent Venus Ventures at no collateral so my reputation is in good standing outside of this mismoderated forum.

* Seems inevitable someone will try bringing this up so I'm afraid I'll have to pre-empt this allegation based on popular thought & ignorance right off the bat :

Proof that Venus Ventures is not a ponzi scam :

[1] Not paying investors' returns using other investors' money, like a pyramid ;
[2] Not seeking more investors aggressively ;
[3] Not withdrawing/spending ANY of investors' money for the operator's own personal expenses

Hello, I'd just like to seek some feedback on this user - Anyone have traded with, have lent to & been repaid from, or been donated from, this bitcoiner before..?

Tyvm for your help, I am in the middle of a business deal with him.

It concerns a loan, w/ 2 forum accounts as collateral, w/ a total ~210 activity, for ~20% weekly interest. If these terms so far seem intriguing to you, please feel free to PM me to discuss them, I am always open.

[not]

 [1] Send your $2.40 of BTC (@ BitStamp rate, or whichever major exchange's BTCUSD rate you prefer)
 [2] Receive my $3.45 PP via 'Send to Friends/Family' can't c-back, never have, don't believe in scamming..

 -or-

 [1] Send your $2.40 of BTC to User:QuickSeller(? Or is amount too small for him to want to escrow? Must ask - Should not need escrow, see below
 [2] Receive my $3.45 PP
 [3] QS/Other high-reputation user sends me the BTC

References : Users RHavar, BetterBets.io, EchoBlare, Mist/Mystical, Dexon can all vouch - Scamming is stupid, make more BTC working legit ; & I run a business - Venus Ventures - I care about my rep..

I'm stuck w/ tiny PP balance under $5 - Almost everyone requires $10-25+ to do any exchanging, will you be the exceptional person to accept smaller amount, at huge markup for you..? - PP is useless, cannot trade/gamble w/ it, BTC is useful, will not be able to get it to ~$10-13 until in 6-7days from now, pls help!!

 With all the renewed media attention on the negative aspects of bitcoin's history, brought about by Mark Karpeles' recent arrest in Japan, critics haven't missed a chance to reiterate with vehemence all the reasons why bitcoin - or any cryptocurrency, for that matter - is doomed as a medium of exchange.

 It can't be denied that cryptomarkets' price manipulations, causing extreme value appreciations followed by severe crashes throughout 2014 and as recently as January this year, have left a lot of adopters feeling burned and cheated, and have fueled the mainstream media's portrayal of cryptocurrencies as a ponzi scheme to stay away from, a perspective the general public have taken up as gospel.

 What certainly merits consideration however, is the question of whether it would've been possible at all, for cryptocurrency - and blockchain technology as a whole - to emerge from whitepaper conceptualization stages in 2008, through to reach the towering scales of usage it sees today, powering Series-A-funded hundred-million-dollar-capitalized business ventures & being indirectly used or acknowledged by the largest globalized financial institutions, were it not for the single, simple icon, 'Bitcoin', that cryptocurrency technology was able to leverage as a rallying banner in the tumultuous half-decade of rollercoaster price valuations..?

 In other words, even if Bitcoin itself would not prove to be a resilient currency reaching wide adoption, even if all cryptocurrencies were to fail as mediums of exchange - has it not been proven by now that it is actually the myriad potential applications of blockchain technology itself that has been Satoshi Nakamoto's true heritage to mankind, via the launch & wide popularization of Bitcoin..?

 And so if BTC's network and/or price were to crash & burn more critically than it has - We'd still be left with the most disruptive financial innovation in several centuries..??

 Hey there, I've always maintained notepad/Google Drive databases for various topics, & some of them I've poured hundreds of hours into researching/compiling data & notes.

 One of them in particular contains over 1000 movies & tv series of note - Minimum ~5/10 for motion pictures, ~6.8/10 for tv series. The database favors sci-fi, historical, fantasy, thrillers, & drama's over comedy, biographies/documentaries (very few) & musicals/sports-related (practically none). They range from the 1950's to 2015, though pre-2000 entries are sparse. Most are Hollywood/American mainstream fare of course, though there's quite a lot of arthouse/indie films in there, from both the americas, asia, & europe. The file also contains data concerning noteworthy writers, directors, and of course interesting actors/actresses.

 Now I happen to be unemployed atm, and rather poor (a little under 0.1 BTC net total..)  So I was thinking, if I could share this database with you & perhaps even edit it up into a much more easily digestible format, and you'd find it useful, then perhaps I could get tipped a small token (say 0.002 BTC) and thus we'd both benefit..?  What d'you think

[UPDATE : Apparently, the Bust-A-Bit user & BitcoinTalk clown known as Candyy/Candy/Snailman/Snailmen/G-Eazyy/etc did not scam me by sending PayPal funds, receiving agreed-upon BTC, then charging back using fraud claim on his (now 'former' - he has use of multiple accounts..) PayPal account - Rather, it is PPal who 'scammed' us of our time, by having their 'fraud prevention' systems enforce the sorry-ass, nanny-state-policies which automatically forced a chargeback on every transaction Snailman tried to legitimately buy BTC via online OTC in, making him look like the scammer in the process ;/ Way to go, idiotic PPal!]

Profiles : Snailmen/Snailman/CandyStripes.

Amount : 0.025 BTC | ~$7 USD | ~$8.40 CAD.
Payment Method : PayPal | BTC.
Proof of Payment : BlockTrail | BlockChain.

Additional Notes : Snail didn't scam - PayPal forced a chargeback, I was refunded by Ryan [who then presumably got refunded by Snail himself], all good

[$2.50's worth of Bitcoin for 10kg]

Here is the offer : Only $2.50's worth of Bitcoin for 10kg - $0.25 USD per 1000g - I have over 25kg - This is for Tichondrius-US - Can do other servers but $3.33/10kg rate instead if on other realms - Only have a few days of gametime left - must do FAST anytime you're available, the limited time window is why I can't just use PlayerAuctions/etc, + they use ID & delay for verification etc, + take a cut, I prefer direct P2P trade.

Simply put items on auction for 800-3000g on Tichondrius AH, PM me item names + your toon name (AH seller) anytime & I go buy - Must be XMog (any non-gray/non-white gear items) or Pets - NOT USELESS 1s VENDOR ITEMS - Am using SAME IP as my 9-year BattleNet Acct - CANNOT AFFORD TO GET BAN - This is why I must insist to use AH - No trade window, no guild bank, no mailbox trading.. That is the requirement but you get epic $2.5/10kg rate for it.. Hope you like it )

No escrow, simply PM me anytime or respond in the thread, I'll buy the item, wait for your payment, address is 15Q8vE5HHK5tnjGnB4akSpt9Kjr65CmJXN, soon as I get 1 Tx Confirm I'll start buying more of your AH items & you'll send more BTC. Simple : e.g. 2000g item - $0.25/1kg x 2 = Send $0.50 of BTC @ Current BitStamp/BitFinex BTCUSD rate (idc), to above^ address.

Price is low because I'm in a hurry due to remaining gametime constraints - Not because hacked/botted/etc - This gold was -manually farmed- & grinded thru reselling trade goods/gear/pets on the AH for weeks. I'm not gonna have permanent access to this acct so how do I care about this gold anyway - Thus no reason for me to scam / not give it to you - YOU have more incentive to be scammer because it's just multipurpose BTC - But still, I buy auction first, show good will.

 Thank you for your time.

People you meet will tell you money is fun and wealth can give you an easier life full of luxurious enjoyment.

But they're missing the point.

What is the most pertinent long-term use, the most crucial purpose, that pays back infinitely, to any amount of wealth..??

Improving the state of existence, of course!!!!! In the eternal fight against the vicious, arbitrary, capricious, pointless cruelties & vagaries of this physical Universe we exist in (for now), sapient beings such as Venusians & Terrans have developed further advanced technology to enhance our lives & bring our societies closer to utopian enlightenment. Such has always been the key to happiness, fulfillment, and purpose.

Thus, the most enlightened & progressive function of any financial activity ought to be enshrined as, to use any gains for long-term investment into the scientific development of our future civilizations (which, make no mistake, incidentally will return some serious $$ dividends as demand grows for the newly developed technological wonders that completely change entire industries & lifestyles).

So forget the jacuzzi's, the Lambo dealerships, the white powder sniffed through hookers' rear ends - fleeting luxuries whose ephemeral pleasures will bring you nothing but regret at life's end - What truly matters and what will always be the best most fruitful use of wealth, is investing in bringing the future technology that will better our sapient existences closer to our grasp, today!!

Here in the lofty clouds of our Emerald Xanthian Atmosphere, our people don't require sleep nor sustenance to continue enjoying our multiple-POV lives simultaneously-experienced through a variety of physical avatars & virtual reality icons. When one of us would fancy a different look for one of our avatars, we merely do a wee bit of molecular manipulation, and Voila! When one of these bodies age, we simply replace it with a fresher clone. We can experience reality & acquire wisdom via a multitude of varying perspectives through multiple baseline-human-equivalent lifespans without suffering from death to steal us from the embrace of our loved kin, to stop our journey before we're ready to go.

We always look to any opportunity to bring our Earthling cousins up to speed with our utopic vision for overmastering the vicissitudes of the Cosmos - And it is thus with the foremost pleasure that I invite you to be among the very first to invest in our shared odyssey into the stars, through the forging of our grand future :
