If you buy 1 share of BitCO for 8 BTC, you will be entitled to .1 BTC per month in dividends, or 1.2 BTC per year. That is a 15% yield per annum. Any serious investor will tell you that type of yield is very high. However, since this is a brand new concept, we are comfortable pricing the shares at 8 and offering such an attractive yield. We feel it will be beneficial to the Bitcoin community.
No, it is too low. SERIOUSLY too low.
This is a high risk investment with a high risk of loosing the value after half or one year of return. THis is not a guaranteed bond by someone with a balance sheet. This i not an investment into a significantly growing business. I wont touch that with my investment side, sorry. Not for a yearly 15% yield. Make that 150% and w can talk - then after half a year I recouped most of my investment.
Why would we give away the company like that? If we are going to pay a 150% yield, we will keep the shares to ourselves.
Strange people who come out to comment indeed.
At current rewards/hardware, it'd take 6.6yrs to recoup the initial investment. During these 6.6yrs, the mining reward is expected to half itself
twice. The main 'oomph' from the next-gen 7x AMD is a massive reduction in power consumption, with little predicted mh/s increase. But as your power is already not included, the next-gen hardware upgrades won't increase yield (as much).
If transaction fees -don't- recoup the lost mining rewards, after 1 yr my expected break-even time becomes 11.2yrs. 5yrs into that it halves again, leaving me still at ~12yrs.
All this based on an idea (Bitcoin) which hasn't been around along as the initial investment return period.
I'm not fancy at math or nothin, but I don't see how I this current proposal would be a good investment. Maybe I'll end up with egg on my face, who knows.
