So, who is going to be stupid enough to lay a finger on their BFX tokens?
i'm a sucker for a sweet deal that no one wants to touch.
That poll... so judging by the 36% haircut, we can assume that 20% - 25% of the total was thieved!... And by that we can assume it is more than 250$ million if it was the total... But keeping in mind the current rate and the imminent bitcoin potential rise, we can say for the short term(30days) 500$ million would have sufficed, with the adjustment to inflation. But they don't have 100% ... because part of that was erased with the theft. So 250$ million would have been more appropriate and a good deal for the exchange price we have now on hand.
What you are saying makes little sense.
I don't know how a company could be valued based on the amount of customer funds that they supposedly hold, as that same value. Let's say that they held approximately $500 million in customer funds, that does not make them worth $500 million, but maybe (best case scenario) holding value (and being able to profit from the trading of that value) could make them worth 10% of the value that they hold?
I don't know exactly what fees they have for as a theoretical... Bitcoin has the history on its side... Meaning that it will go in to a inflation period... And now to the numbers... If they have a 0.1% fee from the amount of each order. And if they have a 100-10$ million volume per day... That means 100k$ - 10k$ per day ... And if someone pays for something like this they don't pay for what is worth, but what it could be worth, they pay for the name, for the publicity, for the recognition... Meaning that in 10 years it could be bigger than the 250$ million they paid. But you are right, they should not be valued more than 150$ million... But on the other hand... They already have money! And they can probably make 100$ million or more in 10 years... And
people with money need to be overpaid to budge and roll over!Yeah that's not how company valuation works. Right now their balance sheet is in red by ~$120MM (meaning they have $120MM more in liabilities more than assets)
Also if you think this "incident" will have no effect on their market share (their daily volume) or their "goodwill" you're delusional
