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

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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.
