      F.DERP realised no operating revenue this period. The P/E implied value per share is thus 0 BTC.


      Miscellaneous


      It is a matter of great consternation to me that in spite of continuing depreciation in the BTC/USD pair, the volume of these shares bought on the open market increases at a glacial pace : barely 20% over last month. If you think about it, the BTC trades today for less than half what it did back when these contracts were created. So : either the BTC value as presented by the "exchanges" carries virtually no weight in the eyes of investors, or else the perspectives of a Bitcoin company scale more or less directly with the exchange rate. Or who knows, other factors. I would be interested to hear other takes on this topic.

      In any case, since the present low price levels fail to attract much business if at all, I will increase the asking price across the board by 100%, to more or less reflect the "value" of the original "investment" in these things. Curious what that does more than anything.

        In the DERP contracts, for example BitPay, "If BitPay IPOs on a legitimate Bitcoin exchange (such as MPEx), holders of D.BPAY are entitled to one share in the IPO for each D.BPAY share they hold". Does this assume that the company will be split into an equal number of shares as the D.derp issues? Or is it going to be proportional to the number of shares issued in the IPO? So if BitPay has an IPO with only 100`000 shares, is each D.BPAY share then worth 1 share of BitPay IPO or would it require 10 D.BPAY to get 1 BitPayIPO?

        It's going to be proportional. So to understand each other with an imaginary example :

        Day 1. DERP receives 10`000 dollars investment.
        Day 2. D.DERP is created, on MPEx, 100 shares.
        Day 3.a. DERP lists, and is priced (by market, as described) at 28`753 dollars. D.DERP is then worth 287.53 dollars a share
        ---
        Day 3.b. DERP takes a further 10`000 investment.
        Day 4.b. DERP lists, and is priced (by market, as described) at 28`753 dollars. D.DERP is then worth 143.765 dollars per share.
        ---
        Day 3.c. DERP behaves fraudulently (as described). D.DERP is worth 0 per share and closes.

        Make sense ?
