What if you used BTC to buy early shares in Mastercoin or Ethereum? There is no clear valuation in a virtual startup on the first day of issuance, is there?

Sure there is. Why would you pay BTC for something that isn't worth at least what you paid for it. Why would the seller take BTC that is worth less than what he is selling?  Willing buyer + willing seller = fair market value.
