Ok cool. Yeah I knew about both places from when I was in the BTC game last year but wanted to make sure they were still reputable sources, etc. Sounds like they are and I appreciate the feedback.
It may not be the best place for you to "invest" your bitcoin, but as far as receiving a loan its a good place to start until you earn more reputable statuses on here. Even I can't request a loan with my status right now unless its really small on here.
