Hi Lakey, Yes, the vendor bond is paid and refunded in BTC - you get the exact amount of BTC back that you paid in: if you pay 4.05 for the bond, you will receive 4.05 back. I understand what you're saying regarding the value of Bitcoin crashing, but the opposite is also true. You stand to gain if it rises in value. When Bitcoin hit its recent high many vendors were receiving their bond back when it was valued at $2500+. It's HIGHLY unlikely that Bitcoin's value will 'crash' during the time that it takes you to meet the requirements for receiving the bond refund. It has reached a point of relative stability so a drop of 50% or more is very, very unlikely. Libertas
