First I don't call selling a gram of weed making money. I mean do disrespect so don't get all upset at me saying that. You will agree that it very little money. The point I was trying to make is that us vendors...MOST of us...make a lot of money...and in general the btc has done NOTHING but go up the last 11 months... And other then the vendors that were selling things at the $250 per coin...and then that dropped to where it is now or even lower...yes they 'lost" money...But in reality you dont lose anything until you sell the btc... All of us just use the BTC as like a token..So if you sell your gram of weed for $30 bucks...and at that tine the coin was worth $250 a coin...then they finalized and the coin was worth $125 then yes you "lost" money...but you really didn't..you lost value. You don't lose the money until you sell the coin. And if you are smart enough you hold on to the coin and wait..as within 7 days it will be back up over $200. But at the time I made the post I was referring to not only what I said up there...but also that the btc has gone up from the $20 range to the $50 to the $70..then it exploded to the $130 and basically went up $20+ per day every day...and when I wrote this my point was that as a vendor I believe that 95% of us have killed it...meaning we have sold something at $50 per btc and by the time the finalized it was $70 plus... Not only that but as I said above...we get paid on SR in BTC...so it is not like the buyer finalized and then within the hour you are converting those coins to cash...sure some do but again 99% of vendors take a while to do that.(sell there coins) And so even though the market took a 50% to 70% hit it does not matter as long as you don't sell the coins.. So lets say last Friday it was at its high point of $270 on SR....then it starts diving...well if you just do not panic and can hold on it will come back...as it kind of has...It is not like it was $270 for 10 days and now it is $70 for the last 14 days... And when I made my simple post saying vendors are not really losing money...I was referring to the fact that most vendors have killed it...not only that...but the crash is just on paper...so as long as you didn't panic and sell the coins you had just got at $270 for $70...you are just fine. As to the vendor I quoted... As my first line says...I was not trying to offend you by saying that your .08 btc sale is shit...but lets just be honest..that is a very little amount of money in the first place.... and unless you sold 5000 grams at .009 at the high of $270 per coin...I don't think you lost a lot of money. Also 100's of people read the forums..lets even call it 1000's...no message I or anyone can post is to everyone. I think that most (80%) are smart enough to understand that I am not saying every vendor and I do not need to be so delicate in the message I posted. People on here take things so personal(not even talking about you) ..I mean just in general. Also in here 300 people will read it..yet 1 asshole will respond... So I am saying that most vendors will not lose a lot of money with the btc losing value. Also most vendors have actually made a killing with the btc going up so much that I was also saying that vendors should not start crying (again not talking about you) now that the btc has gone down 50% as in fact it went up 1000% in the last 3 months. As a vendor you should be smart enough to figure out the btc market pretty well and be prepared for this. And again I think MOST vendors were. As not a lot of them made post freaking out. And you are the one vendor that made your post and you are talking about grams of weed at .009...I mean I clearly was not talking about you and your little hobby. Also I think even you would come in here and admit you didn't get crushed by this. At least I hope this would not crush you...if it did then I am sorry BUT you should look to do something else. As to the buyer that said when they should finalize...do so as you always would..when you get the product. It makes no difference when you finalize. As you pay in btc and when you paid 3 btc...it is going to be 3 btc the vendor gets not matter when you finalize...also in lite of what has been happening I would think that most vendors are just holding on to there coins right now anyways. And as I have made clear...no one is losing any money on the vendor side unless they were dumb enough to sell there item at $270 per coin...and then they had to sell their coin at $100 a piece. There are a lot of vendors on here so I am sure 1 or 2 had to, But I would think 99% did not sell there coin and are waiting it out... Also as a buyer...just use your coin as soon as you get it on SR...that way you cant get hurt..as most of you only buy the coin so you can shop in SR...so if you buy the coin...then you use it..who cared what the price of the btc is...just as long as you are smart enough to buy it at $100 and use it at $100. A lot of people that do not know shit have complained about how SR is slow to update their prices. When in fact that is simply not true. But also what it causes is a great thing for the buyer as you know exactly where the coin is going..so if you send you coin into SR ...you don't have to worry about it tanking in 5 min. It just does not happen. If you time it right...you will never lose a dollar. Hope everyone that reads this understands it. I tried to write it as idiot proof.
