Why would anyone scam just $38? Serious question here.
Why would anyone scam period? As always, it rots me. |

Because you didn't believe he would, it's easier than scamming $138. |

When I was 13, $38 was a lot - but that was a long time ago. When I was 21, it would buy a week of groceries, but that was also a while ago. Now $38 doesn't even buy a decent bottle of whiskey (but decent vodka maybe). Simply a matter of degrees. By the above reasoning, for 4.5 BTC I have some entertainment and have identified a 13 year old with a bad credit history. |

Just keep giving those coins away. You should pay me half of what you are going to give away in the future and I will kick you in the nuts. Then you still will have half of your coins!

But then I wouldn't have any entertainment value. |

As someone who was accused of being a scammer on my first loan request, I'd like to defend Patrick's methods. He may take a hit occasionally, but his loan business is obviously still profitable. Moreover, I know he has personally helped me get more involved in the Bitcoin world; I'm sure this is the same for other people who might have otherwise been turned down. |
