Introducing Bond... not James, but just as intriguing. A bond is basically a fancy IOU where you lend money to a company or government, and they promise to pay you back, with interest. It's like lending money to a friend who pays for your coffee every month until they pay you back. #BondBasics #Ninjapay

Ever wonder how bonds came to be? They date back to 2400 BC, making them older than your grandma's secret cookie recipe. The first government bond was issued in 1693 by the Bank of England to fund a war against France. Bonds: funding wars and building empires since the dawn of civilization. #HistoryOfBonds #Ninjapay

Bonds come with 'coupons,' which sadly, you can't use at the grocery store. These coupons are actually interest payments you get for your loaned money. And for those who dislike clipping coupons, there's the 'zero-coupon' bond, which pays no interest until it matures. It's the 'wait for it... wait for it...' of investing. #CouponCollector #Ninjapay

Are bonds traded? Absolutely! They strut their stuff on the secondary market, a financial catwalk where bonds are bought and sold after their initial release. It's like the afterparty for bonds, where they can mingle and be traded among investors. #BondMarket #Ninjapay

In the end, becoming a bondholder means you're lending money, not owning a piece of the company. It's a less glamorous but safer bet. You might not get a shareholder's crown, but you'll sleep better at night knowing your investment is on the less volatile side of the market. #SafeBets #Ninjapay
