Like many of you posting here, I knew that the best way to earn a steady income is by lending my bitcoins out while doing what I could to carefully control the risks involved. (despite what other posters may say while promoting their services, all forms of investment carry risk - Magnr included)

In the early days of my involvement, I bought an initial $100 of btc @ $2 a piece. I traded this up using technical analysis and arbitrage into $200k which I invested into building out Magnr's trading platform. My goal for the trading platform? Allow my remaining bitcoins to be lent out to other traders on margin so that I could charge a daily interest rate to them. Just like that, I created a mechanism for me to generate interest returns in a very passive way. (in reality it is far from passive because I need to manage the trading platform now... that's another story though).
