So, am I correct that you're selling below your cost because you intend to hold on the belief that the value of XPY will increase in the future? I think that's the part that the people here are not getting (if that is your intent).
I think we all get that that's the plan, but it makes no sense economically.
He could either buy $1000 worth of gold, sell it for $900 worth of xpy, or he could just buy $1000 worth of xpy.
His business plan is about as financially retarded as Garzas plan to value xpy at $20 on coinstand by dumping 2000 xpy for each 50 xpy order.
Well, as I said... in better BTC times... I've discounted services to people who had never even heard of bitcoin in order to get them to think about trying out bitcoin. It's a nice conversation topic because a lot of my clients are older-ish and have heard bitcoin in the news but don't quite get it. So, we talk about it and the ones that do make the 'leap' actually find it kind of fun. One loves paying me in bitcoin (finds it totally kewl!) so I agreed to bill him more often (bi-monthly instead of monthly) because he gets a kick out of the fact that I accept bitcoin for my work... (I think, in his mind, the bitcoin doesn't quite relate to 'cash money' yet)... he's also thrown a lot more work my way... so, it works out for me because of the novelty factor as well.
Now, would I retail something I had to purchase at a loss? Nope. Nope. Nope.
