I wish i had merit to send, this response is everything <3

Sigh,,, this happens every site I go to and I do not know why online, people have this really bad habit. It usually starts out well. They "loan" a guy a small amount and the guy pays back with a small tip. So it gets bigger the loan and then it never gets paid back.

I have seen countless arguments over loans, some sites even ban both lender and borrower.

No one would ever think to ask or lend at a real casino. Why people do it online I can never understand.

There was even website that people actually lend money to others. I do not remember the name of the website but from early days of bitcoin (not too early, like 2012 or something) to very recently there was 2 famous websites where people asked for loans in bitcoin and others would give it to them. Depending on how you did, you would get a better rank there as well.

So you started with zero credit at all, and asked for something small first, but you ended up paying that back, which increased your rank on the website, you kept doing that over and over again with slightly more and more money, and eventually you paid back a lot of money, which looked like you were a solid person to lend out to. However you came back and ask for even more, and at that point you just took it and leave. After too many times of that happening website realized people would get scammed far too often and closed down.

A trick as old as time itself. A person who gains credit and reputation as much as he can afford to, they try to build up that amazing credibility for a long time, they become part of the community, they grow big, they became someone that is looked for in discussions. One day, they realize their reputation worths something, and they can do something with it, and they use it for enriching themselves without care of anyone else. Not even have to start that way, they could be decent to start with, but when people realize how much they are worth themselves, they could potentially use that to get richer, people change.

I hope this doesn't happen too often but I am afraid to say this won't be the last, not here, not anywhere else in the whole world about anything, giving people reputation and trust and power usually ends up like this.
