I guess the idea that small businesses are cash flow positive in nature separated out from the operator / owner and why they would always remain that way or at a level that makes this an effective play at a reasonable purchase price. 

In order for you to acquire them and buy bitcoin at a reasonable rate there has to be something you're bringing that will allow you to consistently acquire the asset and end up with more bitcoin than the cost of the money you put in to buy it. 

I think there are options here but at an SME level I don't think that financial engineering is likely going to be the way. 

 As I've thought about it, I've found it very hard to work through

Bitcoin is just an entirely different beast

Thanks for sharing! 

 Yeah people with cash cows don’t necessarily want to sell them :)

So you need some edge. 

 No, and totally fair enough. Which weirdly means that you have to become the cash cow

Hence fiat mining is actually so effective
