Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't declaring a dividend before you've even sold anything counter-intuitive? If a share of profit is returned to investors through dividends, you have to have a profit first. Paying out dividends with the funds people give you for the business just for the sake of declaring a dividend and paying something out sounds too much like a ponzi. If dividends were based on a share of profits and were a return on investment, you would declare them every two weeks based on the profit of what you sold in the previous two week period.



I apologize for not making that clear but I sold about 100 USD worth of wargaming terrain in a private party sale. I was going to put it on eBay but I got more than I would've from putting it on eBay.

I see. Did you make that profit though with funds from bitcoin investment (selling shares)? Otherwise, it would seem the shareholders aren't entitled to any profit that came before they invested, so why would you pay it out?

It was still apart of the initial stock I was intending to sell. Shareholders are entitled to everything I manage to still up until the 31st when I pay out the dividend. The whole point of this is to help jumpstart the capital I need to continue purchasing products to sell for a profit. I hope that clears up any confusion.

It does. Good luck with your endeavor. There's been a lot of scams on these boards and you can't be too careful. I hope the btc investment helps you unlock some potential, but most of all, I hope you're an honest guy for the sake of your investors.

Do you plan on buying back shares at some point? Lets say I invested some btc into this but one day I need to cash out - would you buy back shares?
