Greetings from my latest journey to S-E-Asia.
A full Bitcoin sponsored trip(shorting profits  Cheesy)stuffed with a huge package of Acid bought with BTC.   Cheesy
I just wanted to let you know that i´m still bullish about BTC after i talked to the local bulls over here,
altough it might take a few days until they will fully attack.





If you could please pump it to about 900$ that would be awesome

Why? If Fonzie is in indonesia which I think he is then what hes holding is worth aless than £100. But also if he is LTCVictim then he has a shit load of cash from LTC not BTC? Also if your referring to Risto in regards to the mansion he had made a lot of money from precious metals prior to BTC and its not as impressive pre photoshop  Wink

That's completely nonsense. BIT is 100% backed by real BTC. If a customer wants to liquidate their BIT share, BIT will just sell the bitcoin at market price.

That has nothing to do with the issue.

What that "100% backed in BTC" promise means is that, for each share held by investors, BIT will keep 0.1 BTC in its posession.  It does not mean that BIT must sell those BTC when the investor liquidates; if BIT has cash reserves, it can just pay the investor from those and keep the corresponding BTCs as reserve instead. That would not violate the "100% backed by BTC" promise to other investors, on the contrary.

(The whole point of the trust is to insulate the investors from the BTC trading that BIT must do to honor BIT's part of the contract.)

I don't think so, because they do not have other source of USD. All USD from investors (with fee deducted) were spent on buying real BTC. Therefore, they have to sell the BTC if investors request for USD simply because they shouldn't have extra USD to pay

 Even if they have surplus in USD, paying out USD without selling BTC is equivalent to BIT itself investing in BTC. If they really want to do so, they can buy BTC from the open market at any time.

"Security Issue" would have thought they would update their customers at some point in the last two days.

Perhaps.  The fund seems to be rather opaque at this point.

Quote
Even if they have surplus in USD, paying out USD without selling BTC is equivalent to BIT itself investing in BTC. If they really want to do so, they can buy BTC from the open market at any time.

My point was that they could lower the BTC market price temporarily so as to reduce the money they must pay to the liquidating investors.  Then they lift the market price again and only THEN sell the coins corresponding to the liquidated shares (slowly, or off-market), thus making a nice profit.  This could work only because their BTC holdings are large compared to the market's  liquidity (I think).

I believe that BIT has the means and stated intention of being flexible in their trading of bitcoins.  If they have some extra BTC reserve, they can accept a new investment immediately, backing it with their reserve, and later replenish the reserve at the best price they can.  Similarly for liquidation.
