is anyone planning a BTCINVEST pass through on btct.co?

[timwizard]

From Bitfunder:

"BTCINVEST does not offer any investments to US citizens or residents. If you are a citizen or reside in the United States of America, you are prohibited from purchasing any shares of BTCINVEST."

So I hope this is just a precautionary and legally defensive statement. Any updates on this statement or how recent events affect this asset? Seems to be a lot of selling going on the past day or so in light of the legal scares.

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

BTCINVEST prohibits US citizens or residents from purchasing shares. We're unable to enforce this however on a technical level because of BitFunder's limited options to asset issuers.

Here's another quote you might want to read timwizard:

How is TradeFortress offer any different from Pirateat40's Ponzi scheme offer?

it is not ... unregistered securities is a pretty big umbrella, lots of other things might qualify like pass through shares...

Maybe I'm a bit thick, so please take pity on me.

Can someone explain why shares outstanding has been going up the last few weeks/months (for example, between the 8 July report and the 22 July report there are some 800 new shares issued)?  Are you discreetly issuing more shares above the NAV? 

Your last report mentioned share buyback, but not share issuance, and I see nothing in the OP about issuance of shares (although it does say you will issue shares above the NAV on the bitfunder description).  And the shares were scarcely trading at NAV, let alone above it.  So I hope you can forgive my confusion.

Thanks

Hi Rolyland,

The new shares was sold on the market. It's the ask part. The fund always gets more than current NAV for new shares.

Great to hear.  Here's hoping you put the new funds to good use.  Keep up the great work!

[somestranger]

I hope we are getting a new report today. I'm stoked to see how TradeFortress handled "IPO Mania" the past week. ASICMINER is down a good amount so the NAV will probably be lower, but certainly not as low as these spreadsheet-lacking sheep selling as low as .25 think (thank you for the cheap shares ).

I am guessing NAV will be approximately 0.3045 based on my spreadsheet (AM at 3.8, 5% growth in Non-AM stocks). Dividends should be juicy, too, since we will get 3 weeks of ASICMINER plus a huge amount from Just-Dice which is up ~15-20% since last report.

I saw TradeFortress post about buying Labcoin and dumping it right after trading went live, so I wonder if some of that was BTCINVEST or if it was personal funds? It is so difficult to guess his trading moves but fun to try!

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

More competition in the ASIC mining sector and news about a $20 million investment into Avalon has spurred drops of most mining securities (after we dumped LABCOIN, and BTCGARDEN is still trading at IPO price), which has affected our NAV but not too severely thanks to JD's profits. Enjoy the dividends

thanks for the good work

Nav update day, when promises are kept and trust is rewarded...

BITINVEST/BTCinvest is a low risk investment fund...to deliver great returns <i>without losing money</i> in risky investments.

I sold my AsicMiner before the crash and bought back at the bottom. Here's hoping TradeFortress did something similar!

Well most of the shares are direct shares, and I didn't see him auction any off unless he made some private deal.

I'm glad I sold most of mine right after the last report since I'm getting an estimated value of between .261 and .282 per share.

100 ASICMINER shares was purchased at 2.7. The profits on this trade will be locked in soon to reduce our ASICMINER exposure - in other words, expect nice dividends next report

nice performance

But I've got a question:
The direct Asicminer Shares are valued at 3btc/share, so are the ones at btct.co. But the ones at bitfunder are rated at 3.8btc each. Can you tell me why?

Thanks!

[Evolyn]

nice performance

hell yes, the performance is more than nice

AM lost close to 1/4 in value, more than 50% of this fund is AM and NAV/share stayed close to same value. Thats really impressive. I really like the job TF is doing here.

I was expecting pretty much the same.

There was a mistake with the valuation of G.ASICMINER-PT on BitFunder. I have corrected this mistake. I've donated 16.8 BTC (half of the mistakenly calculated amount) to the fund.

Thanks for pointing this out! By the way, if you like what I'm doing, please leave me a trust rating if you haven't already: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=67058

Ponzi scheme collapsing....  TF kicking in his own money to keep it afloat. 

TF why do you think your illegal ponzi scheme should not be regulated to protect your investors?

Because the investors don't want to be protected by people with your world-ruining perspective!

TF, thanks again for managing my money with such skill and integrity.
