The worse is that Erik can anytime dump milions of shares if he decides to sell some more  Cool

Not true. There is a 30 day lockup after the IPO sells out.  The anonymous investor could sell additional shares of the 90MM not yet on the market only after the lockup ends.

So, investors are still safe until 30 days after IPO sells? What a relief  Grin

Whether they sell more shares or not is irrelevant; the shares cannot be diluted. The most they can sell is 40 more million shares.

The question is if there's a market for additional 40 million shares at IPO prices. Definitely not.  Grin And if SD becomes less profitable and Erik will dump those 40 million to the market, investors are screwed. The SD shares are ridiculously overpriced at this time. Really.

Would suggest you read the prospectus - he can't just dump them at a low price.

LOL, maybe YOU should read the prospectus yourself again and show me where it states he cannot dump more shares on market  Cool In the contract on MPEX the only thing what somehow hinders selling more shares is the 30 day period after IPO shares are sold which AFAIK is over.


You don't know much then, can even read a simple price chart.  IPO shares sold out Jan. 5th 2013.

Read the text. 
"The representatives of SatoshiDice warrant that no further shares will be offered by them for a period of 30 days from the date these offered shares are sold."

Does it say "from the date the shares are offered?"  No, its says from "from the date these offered shares are sold."

It depends on your ability to be patient. Since SatoshiDice is giving a decent dividend, to some extent it does not matter what the price does, you can hold onto shares and keep getting paid. Evoorhees can only sell those shares once (this is kind of like all the people who got into bitcoin when they were worth a few cents, sure they could sell off and drop the market for a bit, but then they run out of bitcoins and the price will jump back up to about where it was before.) If Evoorhees sells off more of his shares and drops the price, that just gives an oppuprtunity for savvy investors to grab shares at a discount.


How come you dont have a scammer tag yet ?

Before people buy sdice they should look at what happened to http://feedzebirds.com/ and decide if Erik is really worth trusting or not, or if he will just decide to one day close the site and do a runner if his luck runs out.
