Max Keiser interviews Second Market's Barry Silbert:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5azCsoadoc&t=13m5s


He says he bought in years ago. I wonder if he's another of the Bitcoin rich.

I think he is just one of the merely rich.

Anyone know how they calculate Net Asset Value? On the site it says it explained in th private placement memorandum, which you need an account to see.


Typically with ETFs the net asset value is equal to the total value of the fund divided by the number of outstanding and issued shares.  Second Market bitcoin invenstment trust issue shares called "BIT's", and 1 BIT share is equal to .1 BTC.  Therefore the fund has 590,140 shares issued and outstanding, with total value of $41.9 million, with a $71 NAV

oh, then it makes more sense.  I don't see the point of buying "shares" of Secondmarket when you could buy actual bitcoin, but whatever works.

I think buying shares opens it up to tax-free retirement accounts.

One more data point identified. So they bought about 20000XBT in the last 2 weeks

Or about half of all mining production....very interesting.
If that isn't a demand indicator I don't know what is.


so it has the same effect as a halving !?
