My loan of 1 Bitcoin to PEDTrader is off to a good start.
(PEDTrader started this thread by asking someone for a loan of 1 Bitcoin.)
Just a few hours after I sent out the Bitcoin, PEDTrader responded with a polite and friendly private message to me.

What intrigues me is that he plans to trade Bitcoins, rather than mine or exchange for merchandise or services.
And there are others on this forum, also starting to trade for profit.
That is a healthy development that will add liquidity to the Bitcoin environment.
I want to encourage it.
