I totally agree. 90% of HYIP are scams or will be soon scams. But there is fine opportunities in HYIP to gain money, with a bit of experience. That's why I purpose on my website a way to follow my results, because I have now near 6 months of experience in HYIP : sometimes scam, sometimes profits. And maybe invest like me in a future if my results are good.
This french site is telling the true stories about HYIP, I'm not here to scam other people or to make them bad investment. But I think by creating a comunity, we can be able to improve more our both profit. That's all. But I know, ofc, that lot of people don't believe in HYIP. But they are wrong! There are involved risks for sure... but with a bit brain, and some experienced guys like me, it's a way like another to make profit.
Actually, for my personnal case, it's more an investment than a gambling. At beg it was a gambling, I was scammed because of my lack of experience to choose good plans. Now, I'm approx at 80% successfull investments.
I have already spoken a lot in my french thread on bitcointalk forum, and don't want to continue more to speak with skeptical people (even if I can understand all the doubt about HYIP). But my website is just a way, like another, to proove that with a bit brain we can make money (with earnings and lost, but total balance can be positiv at the end of each month).
That's all.
Have a nice day.
Can you give us an example of a HYIP that turned out to be one that wasn't actually a scam? What was the rate of return? What was the money invested used for(other than paying out people higher on the pyramid)?
I can't imagine anything with more than something like 12% annual interest being legit. But most of these things offer interest rates that are so insane that it's not possibly legit.
