I was always taught that the only dumb question is the one you never ask. I don't think that asking for a loan among strangers is the definition of an idiot. Like I said in my original post, (which I'm glad I mentioned) is that I do my best not to judge anybody no matter what. Why is it so hard to believe that somebody might randomly stumble over my post and feel it's worth it to give me a chance to build trust? because that's what it's all about. And the person who would, even if nobody does, would find a trusted friend and business associate in me. But most importantly of all a bond created from walls we have torn down.
You build trust by contributing to the forum, not by asking for a loan without any trading history or trust. If you really are looking for a bitcoin loan, go to a p2p site and ask there because here, no one would really take that risk because people have scammed for a lot less. Even if someone gives you a no collateral loan, that wont mean you are trustworthy because scammers have done whats known as "trust farming", which they would build trust for the sole purpose of scamming at a larger amount. When you come here asking for a loan just like that, especially without any valid collateral that is 120% of what youre asking, dont expect many friendly faces. People who want to be interested in the forum should always read stickies posted at the top of the section which can give valuable information, and prevent you from getting a negative feedback for doing something like this (and not reading in the first place, or if you did, gambled to see if someone would give you a no collateral loan anyway). Your word is meaningless because over the internet anyone can say anything and it could be true or a lie. Saying you would pay it back doesnt promise the lender any real ROI. If you provided valid collateral that is 120% of what youre asking, anyone, including myself, would take you serious. If you are serious about being apart of the forum, its best to lock this thread (look at the lower left hand corner of the page) and contribute to the forum, dont go posting garbage and be constructive. Even then, you would still likely need collateral unless you have a proven trade history, then some may take the risk for such a small amount.
