This isn't as heady as the rates currently being bandied around but firstly it's sustainable and second your original investment is guaranteed! More info : http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/23cd2cd838I make my money to some extent from investing in Bitcoin mining based on renewable energy but mainly from the precious metals market plus securities in "blue chip" companies. There's no risk to you as the investor.If you want to trust the "Pirate" bonds being offered on the Bitcointalk forum and GLBSE I would recommend you invest no more than 5% of your Portfolio in it as the whole thing smacks of a pyramid scheme for me. I could explain why I feel this articulately but luckily the BitcoinTrader's blog has done this for me:http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2012/05/bitcoin-stock-market-miners-and-pirates.htmlV.
