So, this specific investment will just pay off when 1 BTM = 50k satoshi. Now how far are we from that?
Any BTM you already hold have to count as well though if you think about it. It's an investment in Bitmark over all not just contained in the ROI you'll see from the mined BTM from it.
No. Any BTM I already hold count to my Bitmark investment - the currency. GetMarked is a service with a specific purpose. And that's why coinsolidation putted it as a separate branch of the project. GetMarked crowdfunding, from an investor perspective, should show quantificable returns, timmings, and detailed goals. Or I'd be thinking what's the gains of a GetMarked investor versus someone who don't care to put some in? Because, one thing is to contribute or donate, other is investment.
Side investments can sum big cash to the project. Donations or contributiuons will just not get people in, imho.
Again, I'm speaking as an investor, not a passionate community member, what "8 BTC to guarantee GetMarked success" mean? How can we measure this success? what is the success we're talking about? If this doesn't make sense, I'll drop it but, tbh, it makes a lot of sense to me.
I understand what you're saying here in general about it as an investment. But any investment in any part of Bitmark is supposed to go towards something that provides value for Bitmark overall. Which over time should increase the value of BTM. So anyone's ROI has to include their previous BTM holdings as they are inextricable. The more BTM one has the most interest they have in seeing it expand as they stand to gain the most.
