there is such a thing as return on investment though

Beltiras Feb 26, 2020 View on HN

I meant as an investment. I'd see more return than 1:1.

Probably a return of investment priced without the Ponzi-smell.

insightful. care to explain what was the expected return on this investment?

I don't mean to be rude, but that doesn't sound like a lot of return of investment.

They must be making a return on their investment, otherwise why would they do it? Maybe not 6-10x but it must be greater than 1x

Return on investment, I suppose.

True, the parent commenter's concern is about the returns on their investment though.

That would provide great return on investment.

Yes? The return on investment seems obscenely good.
