Where do you guys hold your crypto so as to earn interest and why? I was reading about blockfi which offers ~6% APY but it isn’t insured against losses so I’m unsure about it

Defi is risky because most dapps have admin privledges that put all user funds at risk. Plus oracle risk for any price feeds, plus smart contract risk that there is a bug in the code. And the more money going into them, the more of a honey pot they become.

I'm just holding my LINK so I've lent it out to Crypto.com. You can get up to 8% interest if you stake 500 MCO but I'm a cheapass so I signed on for the 6% yield.

So far so good, every week they credit the additional LINK to your account. You can also stake other crypto too, I know they have a rate on BTC, ETH, and MCO

They'll give us both $50 if you copy paste my referral and stake 50 MCO. You can't do it retroactively so if you don't use the link neither of us gets the credit.

the hard part about the scam is to make you think they are doing everything legit but one day, when they have control over enough crypto to make it worth while, they will just disappear. maybe they will leave behind some poor scapegoat but the crypto will not return even if he takes the fall.

where does the interest come from?

if it's from the people that joins after you, then it's a different type of scam.

if it's from some company then why would they pay you interest if they don't have access to your crypto for lending/investing?

The biggest apps you probably use have admin keys and you just don’t know it. Compound and Synthetix definitely do. MakerDAO is technically a DAO but the core team has all the voting power. The only truly decentralized app I can think of is uniswap.

I’m not saying this is reason to not use defi, because I think developers are getting better at patching up these security holes but it’s definitely still in the experimental phase

I put 10btc in blockfi to take advantage of their 6.2%
within 1 month they lowered my returns to 5 btc 6.2% the remaining 5 something else
I asked for a withdraw and they didn't respond to me for 7 days
I had to provide additional KYC/AML to get my own money back
finally after that I got my money only after escalating it with it
then at new year they sent me an email about my information not being accurate and something about taxes and the IRS and suspending my account
I didn't respond to them
my information was accurate and I am going to report the small gains I made, but the whole experience was sketchy
