Hi Thiago, just wanted to ask a question-- you mentioned you guarantee a refund in USD if it goes bankrupt and such. Where would that money come from and how would you repay if you are in need of funds right now? Just curious for clarifications. Thanks!
Good question!
Bitcoin is now a family business, this money that we invested, that ended being stolen, was our beach house that we sold. We have more things to sell (houses, cars), if needed.
Either way, we'll invest more by the end of the year, then, in the case of bankruptcy, instead of using that money for a new investment, it will then used to recover this debt.
Also, I'll invest much, much more in ASIC mining, I already bought two Avalons from 2nd batch and I have an office in USA and Canada to run those rigs... BTW, I would love to buy your Avalon... ^_^
In the near future (this year if the situation allows me), I'll buy a huge farm in Brazil, with a river within it and I'll build a small-hydro about 100 KVA (~50k USD), to give free electricity to my rigs and to others projects, like a Cloud Computing ISP, food production and to a open sourced eco-friendly community (like OpenSourceEcology) that will emerge within the farm. My main goal with this "farm / community / green data center" project, is to build the first experimental city of The Venus Project exclusively funded with Bitcoin and/or Litecoin.
This HUGE problem that hit my life, the theft of ~2k BTC of my family (worth today, ~1 million Reais / ~500k USD), will only postpone my life projects, I'll not give it up, I'm still here.
Lost I my first million, without even smelling it? Almost yes, but I'll earn another million, I'm sure about this.
I know how to do it and I know where I did it wrong (i.e. hold your damn coins, do not outsource the money management, buy low / sell high only by yourself). I learned the hard way, by the very hard way.
I'm confident that Leandro will pay the Bitcoin Rain accounts, I talk with him almost every day, he is already helping me (he already send me 60 Bitcoins as a cost help) and my family but, it is only enough to cover less than a few daily needs. Stay waiting for at least, three full months will be very hard for me and for my family...
Best!
Thiago
