Title: Here is an interesting CT for you: ASIC preorders actually invested in BTC
Post by: ElectricMucus on January 24, 2013, 05:06:53 PM
It goes something like this:


1. Take preorders for non-existing product.
2. Buy BTC -> goes up, refunds in USD
3.????
4. Profit.

The best thing would be even under the current BTC consensus on scams, that wouldn't qualify, since well you could get a refund couldn't you.
Same process could have been applied to bitpays "USD 510,000", oh and so many other things.

More to come, in the mean time: BUY BUY BUY.  ;)

just make your refund policy sufficiently vague that if someone pays in bitcions, you can either refund them in a "like amount of bitcoins, or USD equivilent to purchase price" ...

bitcoin goes up, refund in $$... Profit
bitcoin goes down, refund in BTC.. no profit, but no loss
