That's not what this guy is trying to say to people, though.
He's criticizing people who buy traffic using corporate or personal credit cards without adequately capitalizing their company (i.e. trying to protect idiots from themselves, which is almost never possible). It's goofy to criticize credit qua credit though, because, as you say, every business in the world uses it.
I don't think that articles like these are genuinely helpful to people. A book titled 'Bootstrapping 101' that went through a lot of the things you needed to know over maybe 300-500 pages written at a high level would be useful.
500 words of self-praise mixed with some old chestnuts may be entertaining for some people, but it does not fulfill the promise of the title.

- mkal_tsr 13y agoReading the description and reviews on Amazon, I can't quite tell if this book is for my situation - I am post-MVP stage with people paying for it (as a private-beta site) and will need to open it up soon. Am I "too late/far-along" for this book? Thanks.
