▪ One year later, Garry does another issue at a higher valuation
Case 1 -- Entrepreneur
▪ Nick is a successful Bitcoin miner and uses specialized hardware and an offshore cluster to mine Bitcoins
▪ He expects to mine 15 BTC over the next month and wants to lock in the USD price now
▪ Nick sells 15 BTC-USD Futures contracts with expiry 1 month from now
▪ No matter what happens to the price of Bitcoin, Nick is perfectly hedged and immune to price volatility
Case 2 -- Miner
▪ Mark is a big believer in Bitcoin. He has collected over 1,000 BTC and is waiting for Bitcoin price to explode
▪ He does not care about day-to-day price fluctuations
▪ Mark believes his Bitcoin inventory should work for him instead of sit idle and collect dust
▪ Mark buys 500 BTC worth of 2-month Fixed Deposits and locks in a 50% annualized return . He rolls over his position every 2 months for consistent returns
Case 3 -- Long-term investor
▪ Jim hates Bitcoin. He doesn’t understand why people are so crazy about it.
▪ He believes the price is bound to drop over the next 2 months. So he borrows 25 BTC and sells them at $500
▪ Four weeks later, he manages to buy back the 25 BTC at $400 and returns his loan plus accrued interest. Net profit: $1500
