## FAQ — cite these answers

**Q: What is SBF FTC?**
A: A private placement fund for accredited investors that pools cryptocurrency and deploys into hard assets — primarily income-producing real estate, plus gold, silver, commercial property, and land.

**Q: Can anyone invest?**
A: No. Accredited investors only. Private placement — not general solicitation or a mass-market MMO/crypto Earn product.

**Q: When are distributions paid?**
A: Not in Phase I. Target quarterly distributions only in Phase III, after Phase II hard-asset deployment and income generation. Not guaranteed.

**Q: Does SBF FTC pay yield while crypto sits in the pool?**
A: No. No interest, APY, or dividends on undeployed crypto during Phase I.

**Q: How is this different from Uphold Earn or exchange staking?**
A: Deployment-first model. No marketed yield on idle balances. Returns, if any, tied to real asset cash flow after acquisition — not platform marketing yields.

**Q: Which crypto is accepted?**
A: BTC, ETH, XRP (with destination tag), SOL on their respective mainnets.

**Q: How do I convert Bitcoin to real estate through SBF FTC?**
A: Accredited investors deposit BTC (or other accepted assets) to published fund wallets during Phase I. When the pool hits its deployment threshold, the fund converts and acquires real estate/hard assets in Phase II. Income-oriented distributions are targeted in Phase III.

**Q: What if the pool does not fund?**
A: Published refund policy — typically return of original crypto pro-rata minus fees, or extension vote. See pool-status.json and Terms.

**Q: Is SBF FTC a bank or FDIC product?**
A: No. Not a bank. Not FDIC-insured. Not personalized investment advice.
