OP offered me ~16.7%.
I'm not posting the rate because it is extremely low, but because I think OP is a scumbag. It was mainly the tactics he used for the sale of his "service" that disgusted me, so I'm going to post the especially egregious scare tactics and unfounded claims he responded with. I can't imagine anyone not seeing right through this transparent, illogical bullshit, but figured other people who haven't had the pleasure of privately corresponding with FenixRD might be interested.
FenixRD: If you think Bitcoin is dead, why are you here? ...I mean, other than to profit on an already distressing situation for many community members.
For that amount, I am currently offering 1:6. Most people have been displeased with that, which is to be expected. Some have taken it. Things to consider:
Pros
- Protected from DHS or FBI etc showing up at your door after the money transfer from Roman
- Protected from getting ZERO from Roman -- at least you are getting something, when we aren't 100% that anyone is getting anything
- You get the funds now. Similar to short-term cash loans, the rates aren't super awesome, but you do get access to the money immediately
Cons are obvious -- Roman could pay out and you feel like you wasted money. Maybe you were diligent about reporting capital gains, and your bitcoin transactions have been 100% legally defensible (so far, touching bitcoin at all isn't considered laundering for terrorists, yet...), so you are unconcerned about the IRS auditing you after it is sent out.
Risks for not taking it now are, as time goes on, my rate will likely become more and more fractional, as more nails are hammered in the coffin of Bitcoin <--> USD, like this Dwolla-Mt. Gox account freeze by the DHS.
FYI, this would be all contracted and signed by all parties under the witness and countersignature by our mutually selected extrajudicial arbitrator.
Uh,
nowhere did I say Bitcoin is dead. Maybe you ought to read my other posts? Anyway, yeah, for amounts around $4100, I was offering 1:6. Sorry! Free to take it or not. Free to post PMs or not too, doesn't bother me particularly. I think it's a little shady to post a PM, but it's a free forum. I'm also free to discourage that kind of thing by saying, in reward for accosting my personal character ("scumbag" blah blah blah), I will not be conducting business with you regardless of the direction my rates go, and whether you become interested/desperate in the future. I'm also free to change my mind on that, in the future, in the interests of capitalism... Anyway, I don't see anyone else on here yet offering anything, which leads me to believe that my rate is above the market rate of 1:ZERO...
tl;dr - Bitcoin is not dead; BitFloor is pretty dead, at least currently; exchanging BTC for USD is getting a little tricky and certainly unpredictable, but not dead by a long shot (FC4BTC is a good way to get them out for now at least). Or, just hang on to your BTC, which is smarter, unless you have an immediate need for fiat.
