TURMEL: King of the Dragons on Dragons' Den Jan 13 2010
KingofthePaupers
at a few points and I had to put the boots to the Junior Dragon
Engineer's brain when he challenged my engineering by telling him
to put his money where his mouth was and when he shut up because
he couldn't put up, I whacked him with my favorite coup de grace
once the loud-mouth backs down: "Yeah: Flash the cash, bye bye
trash." To Mr. Multi-millionaire.
Whether it influenced anyone to invest in the community currency
timebank systems like Toronto Dollars, Berkshares, Pittsboro
Plenties will be revealed on Wed Jan 13. So let's tune in and see
if they make the smart gamble suggested by me.
And if not them, how about you taking the premium to buy in with
government chips to get local chips which you can cash out any
time you want?

JCT: Okay, calling my pitch CanLETS is fine by me. They could
invest in not Toronto Dollars or Calgary Dollars but a new
currnecy called Canada dollars. I'll take them.
You know I have difficulty controlling my mouth when some
loudmouth wants to challenge me in my specialization, banking
systems engineering and junior dragon didn't accord me the
respect my specialisation deserved and I didn't a lot of time to
pin him to the mat. So I took his sneer and breath away with a
smash to his technical reputation and finished him off with the
coup the grace.
Hey, at least the tall guy went into why Bershares only give a
95:100 premium when I wanted to give a 100:110 like Pittsboro who
were giving even more 90:100. The point is the premium is there
for the taking by making cash available to your community.
Anyway, I'll say no more and only tell you that the punk engineer
wasn't the only one I had to beat up. These are economists, after
all, and after picking the Bank of Canada every week for 5 years
years in the early 1980s when the interest rate was 22%, I
handled every "but" these believers in Shift A inflation, too
much money already, could throw at me so I was prepared. And they
had no idea they were going to be buzz-sawed by a one-man
wrecking crew.
Many people will think I'm nuts. Many people won't.
Wish we could take a poll.
