Re: Which Coins are a great LONG-TERM investment ????

For me, there's no coins for LONG-TERM investment.Why? Simply because nobody knows exactly what would happened in the future. It is part of business to promise everything to give an assurance to people so that more investors got interest. Though some business experts predicting possible results but keep in mind  that hindrances are always behind everthing so don't expect to much.
Do you invest in traditional stocks? You wouldn't invest in, say, Amazon or Lockheed Martin? I don't know if Amazon or Lockheed Martin will remain the industry leaders that they are in twenty years, or if they'll be replaced by other companies, but I'm certain that they will be far more valuable then than they are now. Trading is good, but long-term wealth potential is key.

Does someone have a link to a whitepaper? I don't really understand the role of cryptocurrency in a streaming service. Unless the streaming is on the blockchain and based on proof-of-work. That would be pretty smart, actually.

There are a couple of altcoins I'm currently researching -

VeChain - A coin similar to Walton, it's primarily used for supply chain logistics and product verification. It's not fun or exciting like a lot of these other coins, but I believe it has the potential to change the way logistics are conducted. It also has significant investor attention (PwC, ties with Renault, shipping companies) that indicate that big businesses are interested. Limited consumer application but huge business potential.

TRON - Really awful whitepaper (it's Engrish) but fun and interesting premise - it's a coin used in Chinese apps like Peiwo and a potential introduction to cryptocurrency for a humongous market. Lots of investor attention and the creator, Justin Sun, has ties to Alibaba's Jack Ma.

DNT - A recent coin and something that I will probably use once the technology is better established considering my interest in eBay. I haven't fully grasped it yet, but it's essentially a decentralized eBay or Craigslist for cryptocurrency users. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

All of these coins have long-term potential.

I have significant doubts about these projects, the foremost being the identities of the people conducting them. I've only seriously examined eXRP so far, and although they have a very large Telegram group, the devs don't seem active and I almost feel like the size of the group is a way to hide that fact. I don't know enough about the others (eDASH, eBTC, eLTC) but I would tread cautiously.

This is how shares will be distributed:
Total Shares: 25,000
25,000 Shares at 0.001 BTC

Dividends: Paid bi-weekly.
70% to shareholders
20% for management
10% reselling fees

BTC Address:1H8xrQFKWdjJsrH7vgtri4w6RRpk3q7hDE

First Dividend: October 31st
Dividend Amount: (Tentative on price from USD to BTC) 0.209205024 BTC


Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't declaring a dividend before you've even sold anything counter-intuitive? If a share of profit is returned to investors through dividends, you have to have a profit first. Paying out dividends with the funds people give you for the business just for the sake of declaring a dividend and paying something out sounds too much like a ponzi. If dividends were based on a share of profits and were a return on investment, you would declare them every two weeks based on the profit of what you sold in the previous two week period.



I apologize for not making that clear but I sold about 100 USD worth of wargaming terrain in a private party sale. I was going to put it on eBay but I got more than I would've from putting it on eBay.

I see. Did you make that profit though with funds from bitcoin investment (selling shares)? Otherwise, it would seem the shareholders aren't entitled to any profit that came before they invested, so why would you pay it out?

It was still apart of the initial stock I was intending to sell. Shareholders are entitled to everything I manage to still up until the 31st when I pay out the dividend. The whole point of this is to help jumpstart the capital I need to continue purchasing products to sell for a profit. I hope that clears up any confusion.

I've been putting a lot of thought into this... there's just sooooooooo many scams in the crypto world. Even legitimate businesses are having their owners take off with investor funds. So the question is... how do we know you won't run?

Honestly, I'm not sure how I can prove that. What do you suggest?

Same here. I mean, I really like the idea and see potential but it looks like you came here totally unprepared. Normally its the other way around - first you take care of website, descriptions, prepare a nice summary of what you have achieved and THEN come to ask for money. As I said, I really like the idea so I'm not saying no, will keep an eye on this topic and see how things work out.

First, I do appreciate the feedback, this is as much a work in progress as anything else. To touch on your other points, I'm not sure what a website would do to running a successful eBay store. I suppose it couldn't hurt but it feels like an unnecessary use of time and money, I am looking into improving the descriptions of my listings but that won't come into play for another week since I'm working on a template that fits all my listings. If you think my OP needs to be clarified, I'll be happy to do that.

I did not read through every post because, frankly, I do not want to figure out some one else's business strategies --

but on the surface -- since the OP seems to think that they know how to make purchases and then sell and then profit ---

it would seem like a loan (read: BTCJam) would be more appropriate than shares for a shell of a business.

either way, good luck with your endeavors.


Not interested in pulling a loan from BTCJam.

Do you plan on making product description more "vivid" than one liners? How do you plan on paying first dividend with no items listed?

I'll look into making my descriptions are little more detailed. I'm listing 25+ items tonight. I've spent the better part of the weekend organizing my current inventory of stuff. I typically try to list items on Sundays for maximum exposure. I'll update the post when I'm done listing items.


This sounds like a good project, however are you planning to list this on any of the exchanges available or will these shares be non-exchange traded? Thanks.

If there's a demand I may list it on an exchange, do you recommend any? As I understand it many of the exchanges are seen in pretty poor light. As of the moment they are non-exchange but I will facilitate trades between people.

My biggest issue at the moment is purchasing power. I know what to buy, I can make reasonable profit off what I want to buy. The problem I keep bumping into is the ability to purchase it. I've been organizing my stock so there's going to be a big push of things to sell this weekend. I appreciate your comment and I hope you see over the next couple weeks that this could be a profitable endeavor. I do recommend that you push fiat into BTC now but you're absolutely correct that the math skews negatively if BTC rises. Take it with a grain of salt. Thanks for your comment and interest.

Just sold some personal wargaming terrain I had for 100 USD to a private party. I'll watch the price of BTC over the next two weeks to maximum the amount of BTC but the first dividend will be arriving on October 31st. At the time of writing that amounts to 0.29886432 BTC using Circle.

Assuming the price remains stable that leads to a dividend of 0.209205024 BTC.

Sounds good, I might be interested BUT you are a reseller with 11 items listed for total of what, $100?

That's just my current stock. I made about 200 dollars in the last two weeks. This isn't my primary method of income at the moment, for one I don't have sufficient capital to make the necessary purchases for selling on a mass scale, this is where you guys come in. I've sold in spurts over the years as money has come in and I've had time. I want to make this my full-time job and I need you guys to help me do that.

yeah, I dont really understand where you are going with this either. Dont get me wrong, most of what I buy online is vintage stuff (clothing and books) and I have messed around with ebay to very little success. Most clothing I get from either etsy or private retailers like rustyzipper.com, ebay isnt that great really. books i get from abebooks usually, or i go to a vendor aggregator like alibris for rare stuff.

I would first gather more stuff to sell. Then I would divide my stuff up - old video games and tech stuff like the projector I would for sure leave on ebay, the briq-a-brak and decorative stuff I would get onto etsy (keep in mind, etsy has an aesthetic standard and your collection should look like you put some effort there, not a church jumble sale.)

Anyway, it is interesting to see the first public attempt to sell vintage for BTC, as I have looked at the notion of selling collectibles for btc, but unfortunately, for the majority of the btc hodlers, vintage means sofubi from the 1990s and maybe old commodore 64 game cartridges.

EDIT- actually, now that I think about it, you have inspired me to get off my butt and photograph the thousands of dollars worth of 50s-60s vintage clothing and accessories I have laying around and put them up on etsy. Etsy allows vendors to accept btc. you just mention it in your item description and the buyer sends you a pm to set the deal up. Wink



Good luck! I'm glad I could inspire you!

If anyone has any other questions, I'll be happy to help.

Here's been my profit record over the last 12 months, I've spent about 850 dollars between cost of acquiring merchandise and shipping.

About BitThrift
Bit-Thrift is the culmination of 2 years of internet reselling focused on creating the best possible return looking for quality vintage merchandise, providing my customers with the best possible customer service experience, and learning the intricacies of reselling products online avoiding the high costs of shipping and extortionate fees that you can only learn by getting stuck in it. I have been unable to accumulate the volume I'm looking for because of the required capital but I believe that now is the perfect opportunity to expand my business with investment from this subforum.
You can view my eBay profile here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/delgada0889

What we hope to achieve
My goal is to expand the business with investors and provide them with a physical real world investment based around reselling products on popular marketplace sites. I have spent the last 2 years learning the ins and out of internet reselling on marketplaces like eBay, Etsy, and locally via Craigslist. We've been able to source merchandise in an effective, and efficient manner, have focused with good success on several types of merchandise such as retro videogames, vintage office equipment, high end cutlery, and glassware which are typically ignored items in thrift shopping. There's a huge marketplace for vintage items as people grow older, have nostalgia for items from their childhood, and realize that products from yesteryear have a unique style and robustness not found now.

Dividends & Shares
My focus is on protecting shareholder value. Biggest part of the profits will go to the shareholders, while remaining profits will be invested into sourcing new merchandise, covering the multitude of fees associated with reselling, and ensuring that remains profitable. I place a lot of effort into protecting the value of our shares and will only dilute share value under strict vote of the shareholders. Shareholders will determine how many shares will be issued and when. Not before.

This is how shares will be distributed:
Total Shares: 25,000
25,000 Shares at 0.001 BTC

Dividends: Paid bi-weekly.
70% to shareholders
20% for management
10% reselling fees

BTC Address:1H8xrQFKWdjJsrH7vgtri4w6RRpk3q7hDE

First Dividend: October 31st
Dividend Amount: (Tentative on price from USD to BTC) 0.209205024 BTC

Shareholder Spreadsheet:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x2-SpbRnhMnU4skeSZeJKVS-KDnEGg2mlpcJP8wYVtI/


I'll be happy to answer any and all questions. I am more than happy to provide proof of ID and a track record of my sales.

Do you have a formal resume with a list of references? I'd love to see your portfolio. Also who are your contacts within Steam? As a dev myself, what language will you be using and what's the scope of the MMO we're looking at? Do you have a team? What's your potential team or are you solo?

Thanks for your answers,
