it's a literal open ponzi scheme.
they're paying out old investors from new investors' money, there's no other way they can give out the cashbacks.
if they lost getting new investors today, they'd quickly run out of money to run their scheme.

soooo, you can risk it if you feel like it's worth it, but the only thing that seperates them from bitconnect is that they offer less greedy rewards, hence they might sustain longer, but everybody knows their business model is not sustainable for long.

that said, there were plenty of people ending up making money on bitconnect, so good luck

No, interest can work for legitimate companies with legitimate loan checking and whatnot.
Paying you insane levels of extra interest, independent on what and how much you deposit to them, just for pumping their tokens and vowing to not dump for 6 months? Scam.
Not to mention the credit card cashback. There is absolutely no legitimate institution that offers cashback on arbitrary online payments, because Visa doesn't pay them for those. It's okay to offer cashback for payment at specific companies, but not on all payments like they do.
It's obviously a system that relies on constant inflow of new money to keep its guarantees.

Good points, I'll take it. Can you give a rundown to a brainlet about how users pay more interest on said lent funds from these exchanges? I'm about to run the numbers as good as my numb brain allows me. I can trust coinbase as they have a minimum that a user has to have in order to receive interest and afaik they dont have lending options like binance and bitfinex(?) have

well i know bitfinex system the best so i'll explain how it works.

you have 100 ETH and like it as an investment, so you are willing to hold for some longer amount and lose the ability to sell it.

you make an offer. on bitfinex can choose length between 2-30 days, and have a book of offers you are bidding against, like when you want to sell crypto directly you need to make an offer that will be better than any other on the market.
so you pick a % (the daily interest you receive) that you think will be taken by someone (not many people will make better offers than you)


now, someone believes ETH will fall in short-term compared to some other asset (like USD, BTC), they don't hold any ETH, but want to profit off the crash. which means they borrow your ETH and will have to give it back to you in a few days with the added interest rate. they sell your ETH for whatever asset they believe will perform better in the coming days than it wilk.
if ETH actually dumps, they buy back the amount they owe you for the other asset, and can keep the rest of the other asset.
if ETH actually starts to moon hard, bitfinex automatically market sells their assets to reimburse your ETH. so you cannot lose your asset during the process. they aren't allowed to remove funds from the exchange until they have paid their loans back.

I'm not sure I'm on board with INTEREST IS A SCAM. We see this happen on a defi scale, we see it happen on a crypto scale, why is this revolutionary and a scam?

so idk how coinbase interest works exactly, but according to this article

https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/25/coinbase-wallet-lets-you-earn-interest-with-deeper-defi-integration/

they do something similar, just more complex and decentralized. they have systems where users deposit funds as collateral and borrow something else that it covers. then, i assume, they short-sell those tokens, or hold for forks or whatever. but the point is the system is still transparent and the funds loaned out are still collateralized.

>> No.18322935

the point is that crypto.com asks lower interest from loaners than it pays out to lenders.
what do you think the difference is financed from?

>> No.18322961

>>18322935
not to mention with exchanges the interest rates are dynamic, because they don't know how much they can loan out in the future, and only take deposits that they can guarantee.
crypto.com has high fixed interest rates. if peopel stop loaning any crypto from them tomorrow, they'd still have to pay them out.
not at all how it works at exchanges.

I had no idea about this and I'm pretty oblivious to the whole defi thing. As far as I have seen they are lowering the interest from lending your coins as of this week with CRO having the highest rate around 18% (still suspiciously high immo) and cryptos like BTC ETH and LINK are around 6% max.

What rates are you referring to? 12 percent/8 percent seems about on par with what I see in most of the crypto space. I would see how the 8 percent gets sketchy, but the 12 percent seems fine. The only high interest they really pay is through stablecoins and their memeass CRO. But keep in mind that those rates entail locking up your tokens for either three months or a month. From a business perspective, that keeps the rug from being pulled out from underneath them for those high rates.

For me, I see zero problem with their interest rate model for loans and holdings. Defi has proved it can be done, and crypto.com certainly isn't the only one in the space doing it. For me, the problems lie more in their card benefits. Those seem sketch, and the 500 MCO tier does seem too good to be true. However, crypto.com isn't exactly new to the space, and are on record saying that the benefits will be cut. Hell, btc rate has gone down in the past year. I do hope they add more transparency, but I think this isn't as cut and dry as its been portrayed. Currently, the name of the game is USERS USERS USERS.

How is that different from what the dude said about their model relying on new users/money coming in? If there is a difference between lender-loaner interest to be paid, they need to pay out of pocket or by new users' money

They have currently cut the btc 3month by ~3.5% p.a, or around d 35% lower payments annually. If I had to guess, they will continue to neck down interest on low profit currencies to keep thier margins larger. I would be more concerned if they started pumping thier interest rates higher. They also cut links p.a. by 25% in the last 2 months.

I know, I received an email earlier today that they will cut interests across the board as of 4/7.

It's not. But let's clarify that this alone doesn't make it a ponzi scheme. The cost of onboarding new users to use banking services is pretty small, it's the initial cost of setting up said institution that rapes the bottom line. So, once they have enough users, they make more than enough on all the fees.

Do you mean the profit? I can't really make sense of what you say on that second sentence. Making money from fees makes some sense but they have smaller fees than goybase but still does not justify their high rates. We can speculate but they need to have repeated purchases from already existing customers and desu I use them more than coinbase bc its faster and has smaller fees so idk.

Sorry I guess I said it retardedly.

What I mean is that I don't believe it's expensive to add new users and give them perks. But it is probably expensive just to run the basic system, apply for licenses, and keep servers running. So they can add new users cheaply, and the more they spend and use, the more they get out of it with little loss to the bottom line.

I'm just guessing on that, but I think it makes sense.

As long as you learn from mistakes, you will get better. But you gotta lose a lot of money before you start to make it. Imho, the 50 MCO is a modest amount and I think if you have doubts, it's a good tier to stay at because the Spotify rebate alone will pay for itself after a while, and the card has decent benefits. I'm getting to 500 for the Netflix benefit as well as getting interest on the held MCO, and I really think that if crypto.com wasn't here to stay, the there have been plenty of chances for them to do so. I like it more than I like coinbase myself, but coinbase has coinbase pro going for it. Hoping we see the exchange in burgerland this year...but a nerfed version would be nice as well.

As i posted earlier, i buy mainly from crypto.com as it's faster and has lower fees. I'm dipping my roes with their exchange but it has abysmal volume and most of it is bots imo. Tbh I haven't done much research on either CRO or MCO and just fomoed in when they were arounf 0.03 and 2.5 a few months ago bc I'm a retarded poor eurofag. I also expect a retracement for BTC which imo will depend how high will this rally will take it. I'm buying some tether soon since I'm getting a few shifts back but will stop buying CRO and keep buying ETH, LINK and MCO depending how much I can save up.

Let me explain the business model for brainlets

>They sold a shitload of MCO at the top of 2017, even if they stopped getting any more revenue they have enough cash reserves to pay current card holders for 5 years.
>Now the cards are working and people have confidence they are buying the cards, high tier cards cannot be obtained in bulk because the price would skyrocket, the low tier cards will sell in bulk and produce enough revenue to pay out the few that hold the high tier cards.

HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY
>When interest rates start going down (they update them at will) this means they are not getting the expected revenue from low tier cards.

Similar to a normal credit card model, the smart ones who never miss payment get the rewards that are paid for by the roasties who end up paying 20% interest for 10+ years on a perpetual balance they accumulate on buying dumb shit.

Ive got Jade green, going to keep staking until I see signs of stake risk worth less than rewards. Open a short to hedge my position or just unstake and dump 450 MCO, keep using card with just 50MCO staked so still get some benefits.

DO NOT BE A BRAINLET AND ENTER 180 DAY STAKE AT THE TOP. YOU ARE FORCED TO BAGHOLD ALL THE WAY TO ZERO IF IT FAILS.

If they get a proper exchange running then they will overtake binance, if they dont then they will reduce stake rewards to 0.5% or something. Thats the difference between this and bitconnect, the interest rates are not fixed, they can change them whenever they want so they dont collapse.

done my research on this, advise all to do the same. Go look at subreddit for it, so many normies are obsessed with getting "high status cards" and are buying every single dip this coin has.

Look at the charts, when bitcoin dumps, MCO/BTC price moons, USD price drops much less, unlike other coins people aggressively buy the dip because they want to be able to show each upgrade to the next tier card to other reddit fags, they dont think about the risk at all.

When their prepaid debit card becomes a true debit card MCO is gonna skyrocket undoubtedly. Only a matter of months now.

>HURDUR my bitconnect is earning me 12% daily. Why keep any money out of bitconnect
You are the obvious poorfag, your stack must be so small for the risk of losing it all to be worth only 3.5% interest PER YEAR.
Literally just buy increase your stack by 5% with cash and hold on cold wallet and you have the same amount of bitcoin but 0 risk of it being lost to some chink in hong kong. As if 3.5% per year is even worth it for an asset class that does those kind of moves daily. Learn basic TA and you can increase your stack by way more than 3.5% a year price action trading.
