I know it doesn’t really matter to you what other people think based on your commends, which makes me wonder why even bother asking people their opinions,

You will probably regret the relationship because someone at his age wanting to sleep with a 17 year old has some things seriously wrong with them. They do not care about your well being, they are being SELFISH and know they are taking advantage of you. Once they’ll be bored with you (a guy his age wont take long to be bored with a teen) you’ll be discarded like an old toy and it will break your heart. Nothing good will come out if it.. if he genuinely cared about you he’d give you the 200$ without trying to fuck you. Think about it. His reasons are selfish and he is not a good guy.

I am talking from experience (I was 19 when I married someone that was 35) and from living a nightmare that came out from a relationship like that (he was a liar and a cheater and neglected me for years until he dumped me without any remorse). He told me and he was what I wanted to hear and what I wanted to see before we got married - but he turned out to be a sociopath and a narcissist. Only a narcissist would think it’s ok to take advantage of someone in their teens while they’re in their 30’s.

I think you’ll probably do it regardless of all the warnings not to, because you’re only 17 and don’t realize you’re still just a kid. But he knows it. He knows it’s not right. I already feel bad for you.. because there are good guys out there closer to your age that would give you 200$ as your boyfriend, because they care about you.. not as a trade for your virginity.
