Title: What is TradeFortress' business bus factor? Post by: jboogie on June 04, 2013, 02:18:47 PM I've been lurking here for some time and studied carefully where to invest my bitcoins, and I've come to the conclusion some of the best bets for small investers like me are coinlenders.com and BTCINVEST on bitfunder, both operated by TradeFortress. I'm ready to give him my bitcoins. There's only one thing I need an answer to, it's not nice to ask I know but it's something that has to be planned for: does he have a deadman's switch? I.e. what happens to his business in case of unexpected health problems. This is of concern IMHO since it seems both coinlenders and BTCINVEST are single-handedly operated by him
Title: Re: What is TradeFortress' business bus factor? Post by: keatonatron on June 04, 2013, 02:34:34 PM Dabs has a dead man's switch for his lotto, with Tradefortress as one of the people to handle his estate and me as a bearer of bad news to the forum in the event something should happen to him.
I'd be happy to handle Tradefortress's obit via DMS as well ;D But if something happens to Dabs, Tradefortress and me all at the same time, will anyone know?!

I read it when it was going on - I agree it's good reading (it's actually Deprived's logic of the risk of fiat-exposed businesses that made a lot of sense to me and made me look for something else than mining stocks), but I don't see how it answers my question... I just skimmed through it again just to be sure - maybe I'm missing your point? BTW I forgot to mention, I PMed TradeFortress signalling this thread to him yesterday, so he knows it's here Title: Re: What is TradeFortress' business bus factor?

Post by: Abdussamad on June 06, 2013, 11:08:31 PM He's running an HYIP. 27% yearly interest on a deflationary currency is definitely HYIP territory. Maybe he runs a loan sharking operation?

Nope, there is business behind it. AKA we lend out at >27% a year, mostly secured.Title: Re: What is TradeFortress' business bus factor?

Quote from: TradeFortress Quote from: TsuyokuNaritai Give a trusted forum member encrypted instructions & passwords, and a family member the decryption key & the trusted forum member's email address? That actually sounds like a great solution. Thanks, I'll work on that!So, did you have time to look into it? Title: Re: What is TradeFortress' business bus factor?
