5% return is incredibly low for this security. Some governments issue perpetual bonds at rates higher than this. The US and UK also both issue 20-30 year securities at rates around 5% (and when you factor in that you get your principal back, it's basically the same).

The 5% is for the whole 20 years though, not on an annualized basis. You can redeem these after 1 year.

You're right, this investment is extremely low-risk -- suitable to dump $1M+ into without thinking. This is a real investment for serious money, not a $1200 rig or dipping your toe in with a couple of BTC riding on just-dice profits.

You can do that with bitcoin too, but you risk losing 50% just as much as you risk a gain. I know lots of ppl who were selling in the 900's, then the 800s, then under 800, because they knew. Just saying. And that was, like, 1 or 2 months ago.

I don't see anywhere that IrishFutbol said that the investment was extremely low risk. Plus, it's a terrible idea to dump millions of dollars of BTC into any investment 'without thinking'.

Obviously, the counter-party risk here is the biggest risk factor and not something to be taken lightly.

Also, since you're here, what happened to your plans to buy DMS 'debt' for 90%? And why are you still advertising the mega-scam that is MCXnow in your signature?
