I am not sure VC are always looking for a return for every dollar spent on a specific task. IE, no one makes money from marketing, no consumers pay to see advertisments. But, they are worth the dolling out, to get the return on the underlying product they are selling.
Ya, that is the whole point of venture capital. They invest in your company early on when your company is in the early stages so that they can get a large share of your business so that if your business is successful they will get big returns. Almost like mining or buying bitcoins in the early stages so that the share is larger if it takes off.
It is a speculative gamble of buying low, hoarding your shares and then selling high.
I do not plan to actually pay back 3850 BTC. But I do intend on making whatever bitcoins you have left, to be worth much more, because they are redeemable for food. A staple in human life. The beauty, again of bitcoins, is the wealth they hold, is physically intangible.
So you want money to spend on something so that we can all benefit from the existence of your business? How kind of you.
I can buy food with bitcoins in several places. Amazon, Burger King, Applebees, Sams Club, etc.
Let me sell you a life insurance policy please... You will die young, i make some money!!! With my farm, you gain good health. Another intangible. Another point in life that require discipline, sacrafice.
How is paying for marketing profitable? Marketing, commercials, adverts, in and of themselves are not profitable. Marketing is a money pit for businesses, but often necessary if they want their product to get known.
