3000-6000 BTC loan - Hookah Lounge - 9/18/12 Update

[fgervais]

I like his music too.  Music is a matter of taste, most people get over thinking any music they don't like is objectively bad by high school.  You guys must have moved on to the "Music today is terrible!  Get off my lawn!" phase.

 I can definitely see him having a succesfull career in music but his timeline may be a bit advanced.  It takes a while for people to notice you, no matter how good you are.

Tack on 5 years, remove the attitude, sure, garage band come moderately successful local band. Success comes to those who put effort in their passion, but to say that this... sound of a cat in heat romancing a cheap guitar will kick him up there with Hendrix, in 3 months, I can only laugh.

Oh, and I literally will listen to anything. Point and case, I listened to dank's ensemble wall to wall, at great risk to myself.

What attitude?  You can laugh all you want, but you can't have the last laugh.

[smracer]

I think 3000-6000 is too low.  You are going to need at least 3 months of cash reserves on hand.

I would up the amount to 8000-10000 BTC just to be safe.

Never have 16 words been more self-referencing...

[Monster-Ant]

What attitude?  You can laugh all you want, but you can't have the last laugh.

I'll hang here in my house (bought with dirty fiat dollars), with a newer car (bought with dirty fiat dollars), with my family, and enjoy life.

And laugh my ass off.

Ninja Edit: Oh, and look over these Chinese offers to put together "Rode Warrior" and "Barbarian Harem" pieces, as well as look over the concept art. Now that I have someone to make the inital ones, this might be feasible.

Who'd of thunk it that people here would actually think this is a good idea?

Dank: I've had offers of actual dirty fiat investment. From the looks of it, I could fire off a whole Mail Order S&M Shop with what's been offered, with a launch inventory of over 1,000 pieces each set.

[dank]

Good for you?  I'm focusing on becoming a rock star.

[fgervais]

No more fail lounge makes me a sad panda.

Oh well, can't wait to see your next hopelessly stupid idea about financing for the rock star bit.

[dank]

I'll just open it, after I become a rock star, unless I get funds earlier.

[Rarity]

I am glad you are abandoning this project like you abandoned the idea for the illegal drug paraphernalia store.  Focusing on your musical career and your banking is the best and most sure path to success for you and they do not involve breaking the law or harming your customers. 

[repentance]

I'll just open it, after I become a rock star, unless I get funds earlier.

No need to keep this thread open then, is there?

Can't wait to hear about the next project you're going to abandon in less than a month.

[drekk]

I am glad you are abandoning this project like you abandoned the idea for the illegal drug paraphernalia store.  Focusing on your musical career and your banking is the best and most sure path to success for you and they do not involve breaking the law or harming your customers. 

I'm starting to fall in love with you.
dank was right. There is magic in this thread!

<3,

[fgervais]

I just hope dank never gets a dog.

[greyhawk]

Pretty sure the dog has better chances to be a rockstar.

[LoupGaroux]

No, the cat is going to be the rockstar, the dog already cured cancer and won a Nobel Prize.

[dank]

I'm not abandoning it, but you can only do so much when you don't have the capital to start a business.  Guitar has priority though, yeah.

[LoupGaroux]

And by "so much" you mean nothing. Nothing at all. A business without capital is called a dream. Or a bad idea.

[dank]

Life is also called a dream.

[repentance]

I'm not abandoning it, but you can only do so much when you don't have the capital to start a business.

I called it earlier in the thread.  You're back to blaming lack of capital.  I guess you're going to blame people not "having faith" in you or "not understanding" you for your inability to raise the funds needed for the hookah lounge venture.  You'd have a lot more credibility if you openly stated that executing your idea for a hookah lounge was a whole lot more complicated than you anticipated.

You see abandoning one project after another in rapid succession as replacing ideas with better ones.  What potential investors see is someone who is utterly unable to commit to their own projects and unwilling to put any meaningful effort into executing them.  The more projects you "replace with better ones", the more difficult you're going to find convincing people to invest in your ventures if you ever do seriously commit to a project.

[dank]

Uh, how does one start business with no moneys?  Hmm..

Yes, it is a lot more complicated than I expected, due to government regulations/permits/laws etc.  Not that I can't do it.  Not that I won't do it.  I have a much clearer idea of what is needed to start a hookah lounge, I'm sure I'm capable of doing it.  Far from abandoning the project, I will return to it when I have the financial resources at hand, probably towards the end of the year.

JERRY: So, when do I get my dinner?

KRAMER: There's no dinner. The bet's off. I'm not gonna do it.

JERRY: Yes. I know you're not gonna do it. That's why I bet.

KRAMER: There's no bet if I'm not doing it.

JERRY: That's the bet! That you're not doing it!

KRAMER: Yeah, well, I could do it. I don't want to do it.

JERRY: We didn't bet on if you wanted to. We bet on if it would be done.

KRAMER: And it could be done.

JERRY: Well, of course it could be done! Anything could be done! But it only is done if it's done. Show me the levels! The bet is the levels.

KRAMER: But I don't want the levels!

JERRY: That's the bet!
