Actually when he proposed that, I chewed his ass via email and told him I was disappointed in him. He relented and gave me some advice that didn’t do shit anyway

3k for 12 weeks coaching via bitcoin as he had to “remain anonymous”. safe to say I couldn’t afford it 
You missed that bullet brother

I received a ton of emails about this as well. Why would a doctor ask to be paid in Bitcoin? It didn’t make any sense.
Posted this on the other post, but iirc here had a post about being doxed, and was very upset. He made it about losing his license, but this explanation makes more sense IMO.
I actually thought this might have been the case. We were all swindled royally lol
I lost 1.5 K to him, pretty smart con though
Yea dude I lost almost 2.5 K AUD (overall equated to about 1.5k USD… I was 17 at the time, that was a LOT of money. Bank balance is now negative… Fuuucccckkk my life…
Time to start uber driving (I can do uber eats but not uber… uber at 18 here) My parents, despite being rich… Don’t pay for my stuff (understandable), but now I gotta start paying rent to stay in their house (they love me, they’re great … But we fight a loooot and thus I do think they want me out… And honestly, I want out too … I just can’t afford to live alone yet)
I’m going to now discretely email everyone asking for 1.5-3K USD through Bitcoin only to remain anonymous (joking)… About the Bitcoin part, not the paying rent stuff

Your sense of humor is awesome. Lol.
What an ass he was too take advantage of you in particular!
Yup, I award him the slow clap
This will profoundly compound the magnitude of trust issues I have stemming from past events in my life
Not joking about the parental situation though, I do have to start paying rent (I guess it’s fair, I’m deferring a year from uni to wrestle with my demons, I shouldn’t be at home come March but I am, thus I assume it’s adequate to expect compensation for keeping my 19y/o (at the time) ass in the house despite all the mischief I get up to (that I assume they know somewhat about, it’s not like I try to keep it secret)
I had a group of people over last night… My closest friends (first day back), first batch arrived at 3pm… second batch arrived at like 3am… I’m sure they knew… And yes that is fucking good grounds for me to be kicked out (I think any parent would agree)
You can be more wary before giving money.
But it’s wonderful to be able to trust family and some friends. Most people in my opinion are good.
We all make mistakes.
Yes, that’s 100% a lesson I’ve learnt
We emailed and im not willing to go bitcoin route but I would throw you $40 for the stuff you paid for, if a few guys paid for what you paid for you wouldn’t get the 3k back but a few hundred would help no doubt.

No way dude, I’m not taking money from others. I heavily appreciate the offer though, it’s very admirable
I’ll work for it, I’ll get it back, I’ll be fine 
My parents won’t throw me out… I don’t think, it’ll just collect as further debt

I appreciate it dude, I really do… but I’m not going to accept money without having worked for it
I mentioned earlier I asked physiologik if I could have a cut if I recommended people to him (after I’d already recommended him numerous times) I thought he was the real deal… I asked for a cut regarding recommending friends and stuff to him, not T-nation members… still… not very honest. I never ended up recommending him to any friends though, didn’t feel comfortable with it
When someone came to me asking about physiologik and him not being responsive after guaranteeing a refund of 1.5 K, I told physiologik someone was looking for him regarding money and that it “wasn’t any of my business, I like you, I believe you’re the real deal and it’s not my cash, but this guy wants a refund… don’t know what’s going on here but it’s not my problem etc”… Then I contacted him again about it later
This wasn’t actually how I thought of it, I was very surprised but still ready to take the benefit of the doubt because I really liked him and the info he gave out…
that’s about it, I really wanted him to be legit… I guess I was blinded by the preconceived ideologies/notions I had about him

Are there no jobs for an 18 year old? I know rent is high every where. What about roommates?
My daughter is in college and waits tables and we supplement the rest. Would your parents help out like that?
@tireguy Just want to say thank you aswell for the thoughts to help @unreal24278 out. Its refreshing to see people helping each other out on the internet instead of being at each others throats. If he would accept, I would send some my bitcoin his way for the training programme haha.

Hah not a chance, I pay for my own food atm lol
I get fed what they make for me… but my mom is jetlagged/working a lot and/or travelling for work. My father works on the farm all day (hobby for him, makes him happy), but he barely eats. Is like 5’7, 68 kg and very lean/thin, his face looks sunken in. He probably gets in like 1500cals daily so he doesn’t make much and the house has very little food (my parents are very wealthy, we live in a big house and I’m very fortunate in this retrospect) so I asked about food when I got back and was told I’d have to buy my own aside from what is made/what the house has (which is next to none), and my dad eats like 1-2 meals per day, drinks a lot of coffee… so today I stayed over at a friends for food and wolfed down three burgers
They’re great parents, don’t let this put you off, they’re just trying to teach me the value of money/responsibility… and they probably want me out considering I now have to pay rent to stay in the house lol (understandable, I’m not the easiest son to have… I had people over at like 3am last night on my first day back)
Yeah, you need to cut that shit out
