when did i say we need to push this on people?
and when did i say BTC was undervalued? i used a farfetched example of if was trading for 1/40th of its current value to explain my frustration of the current situation of this security.
you have got this the complete wrong way around. i love this project, but me, like many others, are heavily invested with hundreds of BTC, and having them tied up to a security that is servery undervalued is frustrating to say the least.
i'll always keep 50% in because i believe in this project, and most importantly, i believe in the team behind it. but i'd love to take the other 50% out at a huge profit. i'd be lying if i said i didn't and trust me, the majority of investors would be too.
there are two sides to a successful investment, what you can make via dividends and what you can make via buying a selling. its usually the difference between being short-term and long-term. but most good investors will look for a split down the middle. you seem heavily to the long-term side, which is admirable, but some of us would rather not take that 100% risk.
BTC is undervalued: you never said it. I did.
I got it wrong, maybe, but the general discussion was pointing in going to Belgium to have pictures of the mining facility to eventually publish them and get more interest from new investors, creating higher demand that will generate a possible increase in price. So "PETA price is undervalued" seemed the statement to me.
I wanted to say that PETA undervalued is (for me) very similar to BTC being below what I consider the right price (and this is totally MY perception. It may be shared with many other people, but I am speaking for myself only here).
I also stated that I am not pushing BTC around sellers (or buyers). Nothing against it. It's just not me. And I strongly believe that BTC will gain more popularity because it is a good system and advertising is not needed. Every time someone IRL asks me about BTC, I never tell them to buy BTC or not. I tell them where to learn about it. I explain the (little) things I know about it and then leave it up to them to decide what to do with their money.
Exactly the same goes for PETA. I'm not suggesting my "bitcoin contacts" to enter PETA. This is an investment I believe in and I want to be accountable to me only, not to other people's choices. Sure thing, one of my IRL friends purchased PETA as well and it is a joy for me to be able to talk with him about how our fund is going, how Crytpx is delivering hashing power and so on. Proselytism is something I don't really feel comfortable doing.
However, let me also say that I love the conversations we are having here. Except some trolls and FUD spreading accounts, the rest of the people here are a pleasure to speak with and to share our ideas with.
I could say "I love the spirit" of the people here.
So, back to your last comment. Of course everyone has different situations and needs. However, if you are not in need of spending that 50% that you want to take out at a profit, where are you going to place your btc? Cold storage is a safe place, but doesn't give you any interest. In Peta we currently have a 1% (maybe more today!) interest paid weekly.
(of course, what you want to do is your complete choice and I'm not here to argue with that. Just, if you are moving to another investment, it would be nice to know, and maybe follow you there
)
I'm not going to say how many BTC I invested in PETA (nor how much money I invested in BTC). But 70% of my BTC are in PETA, the rest in Cold.
[disclaimer: I'm not wealthy. Not rich. Need to work for living. Got out of debts and not planning to get into them ever again. So my BTC/PETA investment can't go wrong or I'll be with my ass on the floor again]
Please, take all the above with me smiling, being honest and open. Not trying to have any fight here. English is not my native language and I hope I'm not insulting or being rude with anyone.
