What's you plan in case cryptostocks goes down?
what's even nicer is we can see the market not buying the shares. I think the investors are getting smarter!

Actually they're selling only 20% of fees, asking for 5000 BTC, but valuating the whole thing at 25 000 BTC.
What a joke.
What a joke.
Yes, I think very overvalued considering they are making 1200 BTC per year in fees (before costs?) currently..

Congrats pankakke first time in history something smart came out of your mouth. What a joke.
Note: I am not affiliated with Cryptsy. I just like investing in exchanges.
If we compare this to mcxnow who had a very nice IPO, this seems a little bit more expensive.
Help me calculate please.
mcxnow IPO was: 0.1 per share (100k shares) for 0.001% of all fees. Total valuation: 10k BTC for whole mcxnow.
Cryptsy: 0.05 per share (100k shares) for 0.0002% of the trade fees collected. Total valuation: 5k BTC for whole Cryptsy (?)

Description:
Cryptsy offers shares of the Cryptsy exchange trading fees.
Cryptsy will offer 100,000 non-dilutable fee shares for a price of 0.05 BTC per share at IPO.
Each share represents 0.0002% of the trade fees collected. For example, if Cryptsy collects 100 BTC in trade revenue, each share would receive 0.0002 BTC.
Dividends will automatically appear in shareholders’ CryptoStocks accounts every Friday around 17:00 EST.
Why is Cryptsy Raising These Funds?
We are seeking capital to help us fulfill regulatory compliance and file licenses in all the US States which require us to be registered as an MSB. It is estimated that this process will require around $1M in capital. Fulfilling these requirements will allow us to offer Fiat Currency on our exchange. We currently only trade in Crypto-Currency to Crypto-Currency pairs.
What does the future hold for Cryptsy?
Offering Fiat in our exchange will rapidly increase our trading fee income, which would also be passed along to the shareholders.
We currently are collecting in fees over 100 BTC per month. We estimate that by bringing Fiat currency to the exchange we will increase our revenue by 10-20 fold almost instantly (within 90 days to allow for licensing). This equates to fee income of 1000 to 2000 BTC per month within 90 days and increasing as more users migrate from other services. At 2000 BTC monthly income, each share would receive 0.004 BTC per month - which would give a full return on investment within 1 year.
We currency have over 13,000 users, and over 3,500 users in the United States. A very large portion of our user base has expressed that we would be their exclusive exchange once we begin offering Fiat currency exchange.
Is this offering required by Cryptsy to get Fiat Currency listed?
No. This will just speed up the process. We are already in the process of our first state application (Florida). We expect to be licensed in Florida within 30-90 days. There is an enormous amount of paperwork involved in the process. Here are some of the things we are doing now:
- Register with FinCEN (Done)
- Create a company AML program (Done - currently being reviewed by legal)
- Open an MSB bank account. These are special bank accounts required for companies engaging in MSB activity. (In Process - Expected to be done within 30 days)
- Have our financials audited by a 3rd party CPA (In process)
- Meet minimum net worth requirements for state licensing (We currently meet this minimum for most states. There are a small number of states, such as California, that require a $500k minimum net worth - which we have not yet met)
- File application in first state (Florida) - We are currently waiting on audited financials and final draft of the AML program before filing.
- Once we have been approved in Florida, it will then be easier for us to follow with filing in the other states that require it. I believe in all there are 43 states that require licensing. If we raise enough capital, then we will be able to file all states concurrently.
Is Cryptsy seeking other methods of funding?
Yes. We are also looking at more traditional methods of funding from private individuals and firms. We are not, however, looking at making any "shark tank" type of deals.
Will Cryptsy ever perform any kind of buy-back program?
It is very likely that 6 months to 1 year down the road we will buy back some shares in order to increase our retained earnings. This will only apply to those shareholders who actually wish to sell.
Where is Cryptsy located?
We are located in Delray Beach, Florida, USA. See our "About Us" page on our website for our physical address.
How do I know if Cryptsy is paying out the correct dividends?
Our API can provide you with trade activity. You can use this information to calculate for yourself what the collected trade fees where if you are in doubt.
Why didn't you list "Fee Shares" on your own exchange as some other sites have?
Because we are located in the US, we must comply with US laws. Offering a securities exchange on our website would place us under SEC rules, and that is just not something we want to deal with right now.
Is there a time limit on the IPO shares?
I will likely retract any unsold shares after 30 days. So get them now instead of waiting.
When is the first payout?
The first dividend payout will be October 25th.
Do we get more of the dividend if not all the shares are purchased?
No. However I will likely give bonus dividends to early buyers in appreciation.
