do you guys want to start a yospos tontine?

i think a minimal investment of $100,000 is pretty doable for most yospossers and we could get our dividends paid out by a blind trust investment and then in regular tontine style, as people die off, the remaining members get more.

actual death, of course. otherwise it's just an endurance contest, not a tontine

Can I enter with a bitcoin? Sure, it's worthless now, but by the time I die - which could be in only a few years - it'll be worth more than your filthy $100,000 fiat.

A tontine is a great way to insure financial independence amongst a group of friends or colleagues. How does it work? Each member contributes a relatively small amount of money to a fund that accrues interest. The last living member of the tontine receives the entire amount.

i thought it was
: a carsinogenic preservative commonly used in the 50s in chocolate milk
: a type of pasta
: a common placeholder name when declaring a constant (const tontine)
: a barouque dance
: how belgians insist "tintin" is actually pronounced
: the name of a fictional european river in an american movie
