My favorite comment on the article is “The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money."

minus-squareValmond@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·19 hours agoYou have to pay the interests every year though so yeah why not? I’d invest in you!
minus-squareredditmademedoit@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·2 days agoWell, it’s not uncommon in some countries with perpetual loans for individuals, so sure! It’s usually a matter of agreeing the right interest and offering the right security. You will get a worse deal than Google.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·2 days agoSure! You can sell whatever you like! The trick is finding a buyer.
minus-squarewonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 hours agoHello good sir, would you be interested in giving me one million dollars for these exclusive, limited-time offer bonds which will mature in 100 years for a whopping 5% ROI? That’s $50,000 in free money†. Your grandchildren will thank you! ~† not adjusted for inflation~
minus-squareCombatWombatEsq@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·2 days agoI would pay like $1 for $100 100 year bond from a random account on the fediverse just for the novelty, tbh. Edit: actually I should probably be asking more like $800 on a one dollar investment now that I think about it. Compounding interest go brrr.
minus-squareBlackLaZoR@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5·24 hours agoI’ll promise to give you anything in 100 years if you gave me your $100 now. It’s a fair offer right?
