Disclaimer:  I do not run, join or support HYIPs.  In fact I ban HYIP from being advertised on my own sites.

HYIPs are now next generation, with their own Mobile Apps, Telegram Bots, even their own ALT coins.

Another Trend for HYIPs is mixing crypto, daily payments of HYIP plans, and the infamous Binary plan of network marketing.

The biggest binary plan HYIP is Alt Neuro which just started last month.  

The biggest HYIP in the world is Wenzee and is 8 months old.  They still have about 4 to 6 months of life in them.

Cloud Token is a fake coin with their own APP.  I estimate they will be gone in 4 to 5 months.  You make 40% a month with them.  So if you were to invest there for 3 months, you could get out with a clean 120% profit before they fall.  Most of my friends are trying to recruit me into it but I show them it's ponzi.

In general there are 2 kinds of HYIPs.  Standard HYIP or Fast Scam.

A Fast Scam has no intention of putting any member in profit.  They will open their site for just a few days to a couple weeks with the intention of scamming every member who invested.

Standard HYIPs are run by 2 different kinds of admin.  Well intentioned or scammer.  Many times a well intentioned admin will succumb to being a scammer.  A couple examples (he has a trader, and the trader blows the investments away from poor trades, although I would estimate only .5% of HYIPs do actual trading), another example is if the site or script/programming has errors, and it kills the momentum, members panic and start cussing out the admin.  Many times he will not know how to handle these challenges and ends up being a scammer.

Then there are "Sleeper" hyips.  These are run for many years, paying a few dozen insiders or even real people.  They can't scam these real investors, because it would ruin their plans of scamming big time.  Once a few years have passed, generally they wait 2 years, they completely transform their site and make it beautiful and advertise big.  They boast they have been online for 2 or 3 years which fools 99% of the public. Passive Rev Shares, is the oldest Sleeper HYIP running since 2012.

Let's get back to the well intentioned HYIPs.  Some of these guys are pretty cool cats.  Even criminals can have honor.  They will do everything in their power to make their HYIP last as long as possible.  Granted there will always be losers in the end, but there will be many winners too.
