This is thread is getting sad and is putting me in a quagmire. I'm about to embark on the Chicagoland area to get several restaurants, mainly, to accept Bitcoin. Three restaurants are co-owned by what's becoming friends of mine, coupled with supplying them barn wood for past and future restaurants, when they expand, notwithstanding. (damn, I hope that sentence is written correctly)
Can you tell us which restaurants these are? I'd like to visit them to also support and encourage them to adopt bitcoin.
You're wasting your time posting that sort of nonsense, it won't buy you anything. The idiot that was correcting my "grammer" was doing a much better job.
Epic. Thoroughly owned and you slink away! Game, set, match. Haha.. "Wasting time" completely deconstructing your lies, providing comprehensive proof and you call it wasting time. You wonder why I don't bother to argue with you. I give you facts, you cry. I get tired of hearing the same whine come out of you after every conversation.

In BTC, I'm the authority. Who are you?
Can you please provide your credentials? Fake math, false accusations, lies and false information are not credentials, honey. Bad erotic scifi is not a credential. Company whore is not a credential. What credentials do you have? You are nothing but a two bit whore who can't hold down a job without sucking your bosses cock. That's a slave, not an authority. Although I can see how an uneducated schmuck like yourself would confuse the two, since you've never actually had any positions of actual authority.
Everytime you come on here you make your company look bad because of your attitude. I'm surprised your boss hasn't fired you for talking to people the way you do but I guess that must be a qualification to work at bfl.
It's not as if feeling threatened by a woman's presence is a unique thing to the bitcoin community.

You're doing it wrong. Having Insurance just means saying you'll never default
If Patrick had only classified his investment thing as a managed hedge/mutual fund, with returns based on his investment skills as opposed to fixed interest "savings account" style returns, none of this would have been a problem. Losses would have had to be taken by the customers instead of Patrick, and his returns would have been consistent with the average hedge fund (lesson: don't invest in bitcoins, people. You'll save time by just flushing your money down the toilet).
the "average" hedge fund managed by a well-educated, certified professional typically grow at 3% per year.
If the average performance of any of the funds I invest in was that poor I'd have pulled my cash out long ago
It was an article I read for economics class years ago. Safe growth for a hedge fund is 3% per year (above inflation), but the article's subject was this wildcat manager growing at 5-6% because he was shorting poorly-managed stocks, which is like the Wall Street equivalent of check-raising in poker.
Patrick, I find it hilarious that you're talking smack about professional hedge fund managers while your various ponzi schemes and 'investments' collapse. The only index you're beating is the 'still posting, hasn't disappeared with the money yet' index. This isn't a 'wild west' economy, it's a cargo cult. Foreign capital funds are "high stakes", giving money to children in a sandbox pretending to be a stock exchange is just foolish.
So in summation:
Pirate creates an enormous ponzi scheme, steals a shitload of bitcoins, collapses most other ponzi schemes & investments: Oh well, free market, whatcha gonna do? If we're nice, maybe he'll give them all back!

Bitcoin "investments" claim to be capable of 5-7% per week, then typically collapse a month later with the 'manager' disappearing with all the 'investors'' money.
Truly, it's the dirty fiat currency that has the problem here.
Although Moody's and S&P were hammered in 2009 for not downgrading US debt sooner, they do a very thorough review of a company's financials before issuing a rating. I would be shocked if Patrick's review was more than a couple of PM's. "Hey man, is your investment going to collapse?" "No, dude." "Good enough, AAAA+++ rating for you!"
Re: Scammer tag: theymos ; bitcoin.me ; others unknown at this time.
Well, give us a link and we'll check it out. But the problem with starting a new forum is getting a returning user base that contributes. It's the same network effect that is now giving bitcoin its strength. Because of the permutations of the participants, the power of a network is proportional to the square of the nodes, and right now bitcointalk has the most power in that regard, with /r/bitcoin probably in second place.
Setting up the software for a forum is the easy part. Getting the community is an art.

You could easily set up a forum where you pay $10 to join, where the mods will drop the hammer if they even smell a whiff of scams, ponzis, cargo cult securities, furries, Atlas or dank. Then you could have a solid community of people actually trying to make bitcoin into something useful, instead of the infinite loop of scams and scam accusations.
Or make it into a massive brain trust that makes the biggest ponzi in bitcoin history.
Wait, what if everyone on the forums starts with a scammer tag, then if your ponzi scheme or exchange or investment or whatever lasts for more than 6 months (or 6 transactions), then you have to petition the mods to have the scammer tag removed?
This way, you can tell who's a scammer immediately (it's everyone, everyone is a scammer).

Re: Scammer tag: theymos ; bitcoin.me ; others unknown at this time.
The unregulated stock market was illegal. If a group of individuals wanted to sell out shares in their illegal business because one brave man was about to go to the federal regulators, that sounds like a scam to me.
It's not like this is the first time Theymos has been involved in extremely shady business either. He admitted profiting off the Pirate ponzi IIRC and felt he did nothing morally wrong in the process.

I think we should start an investigatory company that vets all these securities to make sure they're on the up & up, and prescribe a common set of guidelines for them to follow, so that they're not likely to disappear overnight with their investor's money and accusations of insider trading.
There must be something similar in the unstable American Dollar economy (which is bound to collapse any day now), some government leech organization that hassles legitimate small business owners to comply with regulations (that harm their profits).
What should we call it? The Commission for Exchanges and Securities? Exchange and Securities Commission?
i think there is something fishy on both sides.
I think there is something fishy with all of Bitcoin. I won't be indulging anymore. Thought it was a cool idea and novel, but I have no reason to trust any exchange or anyone anymore, it's too easy to scam people and I can't afford to lose money just to use a novelty currency.
Edit : No offense to everyone involved, just the bad ones. I know there are good people that partake in BTC as well.
Finally, a Bitcoin Success Story!
I wish I had known there was a market for it, so I could open the Bunny-Foo-Foo No-Hurt-Feelings Bank just for dank.
I'll loan any amount with a 3% daily interest rate, but all you have to do is tell me some sob story about a sticky situation after the repayment date has passed, and you'll no longer have to pay interest. That way, you don't have to get all angry and defensive about me enforcing the terms of the loan that you requested, instead we can have ourselves a wonderful tea party with all our favorite stuffed animals and imaginary friends!

Monster, why do you spend so much time/energy on me? I rarely even read your whole posts.
And what a shock: your posts in your hookah bar, rockstar, and bank-as-personal-ATM threads are a running joke on two different forums, despite being full of sound advice from several other posters with decades of experience. Ant's posts alone could be the first 6 chapters of "How To Start a Hookah Bar," and you completely ignore it out of this misplaced sense of smug self-importance.
Re: Hashkings Lending,Deposit 1.25% INSURED, ALL PPT ACCOUNTS CLOSING ON 8/19
Hashking also claims to be 15, which makes contracts nonbinding on his end, since under-18 year olds don't have agency in the eyes of most courts anyway.
Hint: He was sarcasming all over your face.
Well that I did not know. And it's not like 'teenage financial genius (who is probably running some kind of scam)' is a unique thing on these forums.
Re: Hashkings Lending,Deposit 1.25% INSURED, ALL PPT ACCOUNTS CLOSING ON 8/19
Technically, I would agree that he's not contractually obligated to pay anyone back, because I'm certain no one actually signed any documents. ...
First sentence already shows a fundamental lack of understanding contract law, this is simply not true. Contracts can be of any form, and are there to be kept. Proving it to a judge is another matter, but not impossible.
Actually I understand contract law pretty well which is why I doubt that any of hashking's 'contracts' are enforceable. A couple of emails or forum posts back and forth are barely more credible than an unwitnessed oral contract. Hashking also claims to be 15, which makes contracts nonbinding on his end, since under-18 year olds don't have agency in the eyes of most courts anyway.
Re: Hashkings Lending,Deposit 1.25% INSURED, ALL PPT ACCOUNTS CLOSING ON 8/19
First off, I asked first, and to someone else.
Second, I've only had a positive relationship with hashking since I started working with him, hes been responsive and accomodating (to a certain extent) without any critical problems, and I'm a little upset on how smoothie (or whoever he is, I can't be assed to figure out who is an alt of who) is berating him.
Hashking said he is being the bigger man and paying back his virtual debts that he has no contractual obligation in paying, and now you're getting angry at him for not following his non contractual obligation to the letter, its not only childish and somewhat rediculous, but its also making me personally not want to do business on these forums anymore, because if this is the kind of backlash I'd expect from a completely controlled and documented mishap, then theres no reason to be on here.
PS: micron you still haven't added me to skype, I'm starting to feel like you don't like me

Technically, I would agree that he's not contractually obligated to pay anyone back, because I'm certain no one actually signed any documents. However, hashking used the term insured in the title of this very thread, which has an actual meaning and carries weight in financial terms. Generally, it means that an investment is safer, because a depositor's money is guaranteed to be returned.
The FDIC does this with dollar deposits in a bank. If my bank were to suddenly fail, my money is safe and sound. If my bank is lying about being insured, or what they're investing in, or any kind of impropriety, the SEC would crush the bank's upper management, and clean out their personal finances in order to pay the bank's depositors.
With hashking, the bank is claiming to be backed by the FDIC, but it turns out that 'insurance' is a pinky swear by the bank manager, and my 'insured' money will only be returned if the bank manager is in the mood for it and every spurned depositor promises to be extra special nice to him, and not call him out for being an enormous fraud.
now I have to ask you, did you REALLY think he meant insured as insured by the FDIC? I don't think he actually knew what it meant, hence negligence.
Of course not, 'insured' to hashking meant "yeah dude, your money's safe, I'm good for it." Which is probably the same insurance policy that numerous other 'banks' have.
All I'm saying is that to someone who was looking to invest, they probably saw that hashking advertised himself as "insured" and presumed it was just like the FDIC. Ignorance of basic financial terminology is not a valid excuse. Which is why a 15 year old should not be running an investment fund or bank or whatever this is.
In an Ideal economy, the bitcoin SEC would be cleaning hashking out to ensure those 'insured' deposits get paid back, but that's the beauty of an unregulated free market, isn't it? The only thing guaranteed is laughter.
Heatstroke, where in the OP did you read that? And where did you read that Hendrix has a ukulele since he was 5?
BorderBits, $8 is a variable. If business goes well that variable very well could change.
Repentance, the operator said they'd call me back, twice. I'll reach them sooner than later. I haven't been inside yet but it looks great from peaking through.

You're right, it's not the OP, but the entirety of the thread where your monthly profit projections are something like $15k from day one, like clockwork, not accounting for seasonal changes in attendance, etc.
I made no mention of the Ukelele, but I find it hilarious that you expect me to cite sources and do research, when you've demonstrated that you have no interest in doing either when it comes to any of your silly half-assed schemes.

You're planning on pulling in $25k in profit each month and yet you're only going to pay your employees $8.00? These are the people who will make or break your business. For $8 an hour you're telling the employee that you don't give a fuck about them and that they shouldn't give a fuck about you or your business. With such a shit wage, you'll probably have high turnover, people calling in on shifts a lot, and people stealing shit from you.
Its going to happen anyways, as dank stated he is in a college town. College students will work for low wages, and like to for simple a simple reason more money they make the less free money Uncle Sam Gives them. But according to Uncle Sam it is okay to work 20 hours a week for low wages and still get all your aid from him. The Hookah Lounge Greenville NC charges no door fee and 7 dollars a bowl, that place is PACKED Aug-Jun BUT during the summer the place is pretty dead. I have seen it to the point where you could not find a couch to sit on, people were making new friends just so they could sit and chill. Plenty of college kids work there for the NC min wage 7.25 and they did not seem to disgruntled to me, I mean they could be working at McDonalds for the same pay. Hmmm college kid wants to work...... fast food 7.25 or hookah bar 7.25 lol
Did you even read the thread? Dank's Hookah bar is going to be packed to capacity at all times, every day of the week, every single month of the year. No employees will ever steal from Dank's Hookah bar, and every customer will be perfectly behaved on the premises.
Here is all the proof you need. I've taken the liberty of transcribing all of dank's market research to date that proves everything he says is true:

Don't you see? It's like dank has figured out the cheat codes to Hookah Bar Tycoon, but IN REAL LIFE!
