[Grim Death]

Thanks for the info, I was ready to jump in and get started but I'm starting to think I'll sit bit and try to work out the lay of the land first.

I think being skeptical is critical to success in a hostile environment.  I'm not to say the BTC community is hostile itself, rather just online financing should be as rigorously treated as offline ones (if not more).

Sage advice. Thanks.

so how can you tell if the person is a scammer cant you normaly see all of their info?

This is pretty paranoid. I've invested thousands into GLBSE funds and with forum members. Most people with 200 or more posts are not here to scam people. Like anything else its not a good idea to invest more then you can afford to lose.

Paranoid you should be about your fucking world reserve currency and all the misery it causes for the planet !!!

Put those depleting reseve crooks behind iron bars , kill the creature from Jekyll island, instead of disolving our trust in each other.

That is the huge asset of bitcoin and this forum.......i can´t conceive but really think pirate40 should be minted on some future BTC physical bills or coins if he is

able to resist defrauding people by his scheme.......he need not, if finally just coming up with the right story.....we live in interesting times indeed.

Always start trusting when trusting yourself !!!

Paranoia can be reserved when you are too rich in BTC to be trusted by yourself anymore as OP explained

Like your topic title says "Trust No One", I think that is a good thing to remember for everyone. Even though they are new members or old members, what if the person are in money trouble and run away and scam you? Everyone could turn bad in seconds.

in every pyramid scheme newbies get creamed somwhere sometime ...
even denied by everybody , as not having been intended....
disguised in subtile ways you are being taken care of by the early hero adopters
but left with some expierience

also, I can't believe all the scammers that are trying to sell "their" BFL singles... The first tip off is that they will accept only escrow with a certain person, and 2. they will take 300 us dollars for each single...I wonder if anyone has fallen for it?

[avengre]

Well if you never trust anyone, you can't exactly use an e-currency...

[SuperDuperJenkins]

We are anonymous
We are legion
We do not trust people
We do not forget those in which we do not trust
Don't trust us

[mcris444]

I do it in everyday life. Trust no one.

It's a good thing this is in the Newbies section

Someone must be trustworthy?
