For the record. This started a joke and I didn't expect it to escalate this far but people actually sent me Bitcoins (the first honest thing I have said in this whole thread).

I have refunded all bitcoins to those that "opened an account".
Why would you even give out a valid address? You should have gave one with invalid/missing characters so the payment wouldn't go through. You're a scammer in my book. What if you gave out some random address you didn't own just because you didn't expect anyone to send bitcoins? The people who sent you coins would be screwed.

The joke may not have been obvious to people who didn't follow the pirate fiasco or for people who have no sense of humor. It's also posted in lending subforum. A mod should have moved this.

A sense of humor is the only thing that might prevent someone from investing in this?

What is to stop me from running away with your Bitcoins?


Nothing. There is absolutely nothing to stop me from running away with your Bitcoins. In fact it is better if you expect that I will take them so that you don't invest more than you are able to lose.

There is no guarantee. No promise. No terms of agreement. No terms of service. No privacy policy. Nothing.

By depositing Bitcoins into Black Pearl investments you are agreeing that they are now the property of Black Pearl Investments and that there is absolutely no expectation for them to be paid back.

Anyone who sent BTC to yokosan and lost them would have gotten exactly what was promised.

He sent the bitcoins back! After promising he would run away with them! SCAMMER!  Grin

Bad news guys. Due to a glitch in the patented pirate trading techniques™ all Bitcoins have been lost.

Thanks to everybody that invested, it was a hell of a trip while it lasted.

I'm out of here, cya.

Noooo!  Yokosan, please don't leave us!  It's obvious that you have been bullied and intimidated by the naysayers and deniers on this board, and are too kind and gracious to denounce them.  Their small minds cannot grasp your sophisticated business models, and they need to be taught a lesson.  I will send you 10000BTC now, plus title to my home and car as soon as my lawyer can draw up the documents on Monday morning.

I really hope people sent 1 BTC for the laugh (I considered doing it myself)... if someone really opened a 200BTC account my faith in humanity is more lost than Pirate's BTC.

Also still no answer as to why this 15% is sustainable, if BTCS&T's 7% was unsustainable and had to be reduced to 5%. If both strategies are the same, the 20%/week should've covered it fine.

The patent number is 8,027,893 for those so quick to assume that it was a joke. I will give you another hint: people aren't far off when they say that the price of Bitcoin aligns with Google trends.

So if fewer people google Bitcoin, you interpret that as a lower exchange rate in the future, and sell? Really?

I'ld be willing to invest, but only but only under these circumstances:


- I deposit my life savings, and in return you offer 150% interest per week to me.
- We agree to a 50 year loan term.... so you don't pay me anything for 50 years, just give me something I can check weekly so I know all the proper interest is being credited to my account.  That way I can feel confident I will get my money in the end.

Investors: 14
Total balance: 7,432.5222 BTC

Strictly Bitcoin, sorry but the methods used to acquire interest wont be anywhere near as effective with any of the alternative cryptocurrencies.
