Title: Bitcoin managed investments
Post by: grue on June 05, 2011, 01:00:41 AM
Idea is pretty simple. I give you bitcoins. You invest/day trade with them. You take 25% of the profit/loss. Would anyone do this? it's a good way day traders can make some money.

25% sounds low.

I would definitely be interested in this, I've been trading stocks/equities for the past 2 years.  I'm currently busy working a 5-day a week summer job after my 3rd year of college, but I will do my best during my free time to trade.

Sounds like a good way to get scammed.  Whats to stop scammers from trading with your bitcoins, then telling you they lost money.  Or whats to stop them from sharing the profits, and then disappearing when there are losses to share?

Well, the trader must be VERY trusted.

Or go through a trusted middleman and get both parties ID-ed. I know this would kill the anonymity
but this isn't the situation that you'd want that I suppose anyway.

That way if they run off they can still be held accountable.
