    How to multiply return on bitcoin investment by 172%?

    Posted on by Аврора

    In this article, we share how to multiply the profit by depositing loans to the Biterest account balance

    How to maximize the profit while HODLing bitcoin

    Let’s consider an example: Mike invested $10,000 in bitcoin and bought 1.09378531 BTC when a price of Bitcoin was $9,142. After that he applied for bitcoin-backed loans on Biterest in order to multiply his profit. 

    1st step:

    Mike topped up his balance on Biterest with 1.09378531 BTC ($10,000). On Biterest, an initial loan-to-value ratio is 83% — the highest among different crypto-backed services — that’s why Mike was able to receive up to $8,333 in a loan

    2nd step:

    Mike applied for his first loan of $7,500 and chose the option to instantly deposit the loan amount to the account balance.

    The completed form to receive the first loan

    The amount to receive of 0.82033916 BTC was automatically added to his balance. After that Mike’s total balance increased to 1.91412447 BTC ($17,500) and this let him to borrow more.

    3rd step:

    Mike’s new loan limit increased and he applied for the second loan of $6,000 and 0.65627133 BTC was instantly deposited to his balance.

    The confirmation window to receive the second loan

    After the second loan Mike’s balance increased to 2.57039580 BTC ($23,500). The LTV became 58%.

    4th step:

    Lastly, Mike applied for the third loan of $5,000. The amount to receive in bitcoin was 0.54689277 BTC. Mike’s balance increased totally to 3.11728857 BTC ($28,500).

    The dashboard after depositing the third loan on the balance

    Mike would be able to receive more loans while the LTV (loan-to-value ratio) was 65% and available amount to borrow was $5,243.92. However, Mike decided stop as the LTV was increasing after the each issued loan. The next loan of $5,000 would increase LTV to 70%. The greater is the LTV, the higher is the risk of automatical loan repayment (Margin Call) if Bitcoin price sharply drops. It is recommended to maintain LTV ratio around 50-65%.

    To sum up:

    Mike received three loans which were deposited to his account balance on Biterest in the total amount of 2.02350326 BTC ($18,500) although his initial collateral was only 1.09378531 BTC ($10,000). Let’s fill the table with these figures:

    BTC price: 9142 USD

    Initial investment:
    10000 USD (1.09378531 BTC)

    First loan: 7500 USD

    Added to the balance: 0.82033916 BTC (7500 USD)

    Second loan: 6000 USD

    Added to the balance:
    0.65627133 BTC (6000 USD)

    Third loan: 5000 USD

    Added to the balance:
    0.54689277 BTC (5000 USD)

    30 days later, Bitcoin price increased by 14,8% (from $9,142 to $10,500), therefore, Mike’s balance increased to $32,718 (by 14,8% too).

    The dashboard after 14,8% increase of Bitcoin price

    Let’s compare Mike’s profits:

    1) If Mike didn’t receive bitcoin-backed loans: Mike’s initial investment was in the amount of $10,000 (1.09378531 BTC). When the Bitcoin price increased from 9142 USD to 10500 USD (14,8%), his investment would increased in cost to $11,480. Mike would earn $1,480.

    2) After Mike received bitcoin-backed loans: Mike’s total investments made up 3.11728857 BTC or $28,500 at the Bitcoin price of 9,142 USD. After 14,8% increase in Bitcoin price, the cost of his investment on Biterest account balance increased to $32,718.
    Mike’s used loan limit made up $18,500 + $185 of accured interest 30 days later (1% per month). Mike chose to repay the loan ($18,685) with bitcoin from his account balance ($32,718).

    In result, after repayment his balance became $14,033 (1,33647619 BTC). Excluding the initial investment of $10,000 (1.09378531 BTC), Mike made a profit of $4,033 and 0.24269088 BTC.

    The result:

    Due to a 14,8% increase of Bitcoin price, Mike earned extra 2,555 in USD and 0.24269088 in BTC by depositing bitcoin loans on his Biterest balance.

    How to invest in Bitcoin with minimal risk?

    Posted on by Аврора

    Here is the Part 2 in the series of articles on how to invest in cryptocurrencies with minimal risk and maximum profit.

    How to mitigate risks when investing in cryptocurrencies?

    The high volatility of cryptocurrencies makes them such an attractive investment opportunity but is also responsible for an element of risk. Long term investments are those that cover periods longer than a year and are not suitable for investors who panic after short-term rate fluctuations. If the BTC exchange rate is decreasing, then you should wait for the minimum level, buy cryptocurrency, put it on a cold wallet and wait for the price increase.

    However, if you are afraid to take a risk for the entire invested amount, you can insure yourself against losses by crypto-backed loans. Borrowing on Biterest, you immediately cash out bitcoins but they continue to belong to you while you are using a loan.

    Biterest provides the highest LTV (loan-to-value ratio) amoung all crypto-backed credit lines as the cash amount is always less than the value of bitcoin collateral. While the LTV is usually not higher than 70% on other platfroms, on Biterest crypto-credit line the initial LTV is 80% and on the P2P Biterest platform it is possible to set any value.

    The key feature of Biterest is the ability to contol the risk of Margin Call by additing and withdrawing bitcoin from the balance. Additionally, on P2P Biterest it is possible to set any value of LTV from 1% to 99%. For example, LTV 80% means that you can receive in a loan up to 80% current bitcoin value and risk only with 20%.

    Let’s consider on a pessimistic example: You invested $5000 in bitcoin and are prepared to “lose” no more than 20% or up to $1000. Then you applied for a bitcoin-backed loan in the amount of $4000 USD. The highest LTV is 80%, so the required Bitcoin collateral will be the equivalent of $5,000 ($4,000 is equal to 80% of $5,000). Thanks to the loan, you don’t need to worry about future drawdowns of the BTC rate, since the minimum allowable amount for which you have been ready to sell your bitcoin is already in your pocket.

    Invested: 5000 USD
    Received in the loan: 4000 USD
    Risk: 20% or 1000 USD

    Now consider on an optimistic scenario: During a 90 day period, the bitcoin price can rapidly grow in several times. Although you have cashed out $4000, the bitcoin collateral still belongs to you throughout the entire loan period and might increase significantly from $5,000 to, for example, $12000. In order to get back the collateral increased in price, you need to repay $4,000 and the $118 of accrued interest. Your total profit from the bitcoin-backed loan on Biterest would be $12000 – $5000 – $118 = $6882

    Invested (initial collateral): 5000 USD
    Received in the loan: 4000 USD
    Interest: 118 USD
    Final collateral: 12000 USD
    Profit: 6882 USD

    Sing in to Biterest

    To summarize:

    – You receive a USD loan secured with your bitcoin on Biterest;
    – When the price of bitcoin goes up, the value of your collateral increases too;
    – Repay the loan and get your increased collateral back in full;
    – Your profit is the difference between the initial and final values of the collateral minus the interest on the loan.

    Why to invest in Bitcoin?

    Posted on by Аврора

    Is It Worth Investing in Cryptocurrencies?

    While there have been short-term corrections, over a long period, the value of bitcoin consistently demonstrates growths. It has already come a long way from a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars for one coin.

    Over the past years, the market has been cleared of thousands of fraudulent projects and organizations that couldn’t withstand market competition, as well as millions of people who wanted to get rich quick while doing nothing. This was a necessary step for the further development of crypto services and the companies which overcame a protracted correction in 2018.

    Why Will The Value of Bitcoin Go Up?

    The cost of bitcoin will inevitably grow, due to the following reasons:

    — Bitcoin is gradually becoming widespread as a payment method due to its anonymity and decentralization.

    — Global companies trust in the growth of cryptocurrencies such as Facebook, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Uber, eBay, and many other successful companies.

    — Blockchain technologies are being actively implemented in various areas of the economy and human life: enterprises, virtual platforms, and state economies have been organized on blockchains.

    — The supply of coins is technologically limited, and the demand for it is growing from year to year. Taking into account these circumstances, there are all prerequisites to assert that the investments in the cryptocurrency market will continue to grow. Accordingly, the value of the assets will increase too.

    How To Join The Cryptocurrency Market?

    There are two main ways depending on the strategy that you will follow: to buy bitcoin or to earn it.

    You can earn bitcoins through mining activities, solving complicated algorithms using computer technology. If you are focused on the long term strategy, then mining will be the only way to get coins cheaper than buying them.

    The second method is suitable for those who have a lot of free time. This is what you need to invest by visiting online advertising resources (bitcoin faucets) and earning Satoshis, small parts of bitcoin for viewing web pages. If you are aimed at a quick result and you do not have experience in cryptocurrencies, then the only option is to buy bitcoin. To purchase cryptocurrencies, there is a large selection of crypto exchanges, crypto exchangers, and OTC platforms.

    Where To Buy Bitcoin?

    We will not go into details about how to buy bitcoins, but briefly highlight the main differences between each method:

    — Buying bitcoin from a cryptocurrency exchanger is the simplest and quickest way to exchange fiat to crypto or vise versa. It is suitable for beginners and works identically as a traditional currency exchanger. Be aware that the exchange rate set by the exchanger is above the average market price and there are limits on the minimum amount of transactions.

    — Buying cryptocurrency from crypto exchanges allows you to choose a more favorable exchange rate, but this is not the most suitable way for the first purchase. The user should have skills and knowledge of certain nuances. The goal of most exchanges is to encourage users to complete transactions and store assets on their platforms, which are rather risky, therefore, high fees are often imposed on the withdrawal of funds. Most exchanges require the provision of personal data and the passage of the KYC/AML procedure.

    — Buying bitcoins on P2P platforms is one of the most flexible options for acquiring cryptocurrencies. Among many offers from other users, you can choose the best exchange rate and find an offer to purchase cryptocurrency even for small amount. Also, P2P platforms differ by the ability to receive payments, for example, to a bank card of a certain bank or electronic payment systems.

    Cryptocurrencies are worth buying when the rate approaches the minimum values or just started to go up. Bitcoin has all the prerequisites for tremendous growth, despite lingering and deep corrections. If the active growth of its price starts, then it might rise above the previous maximum value.
