what's up guys jason here welcome back
[1]
to the channel when it comes to
[3]
cryptocurrencies bitcoin ethereum
[5]
most people think there's just three
[7]
ways of making money you buy the coin
[9]
you buy a fund that buys a coin like
[11]
gptc
[11]
and the last way the most risky way is
[13]
buying a derivative of a coin
[15]
big misconception there are two problems
[17]
to this thinking you only can make money
[19]
when things go
[20]
up and you need to guess which is the
[22]
right coin to buy that's super
[23]
tough so in this video i'm going to show
[25]
you a fourth way how to earn more
[26]
cryptocurrencies without having to guess
[28]
which coin or the market direction it is
[31]
lower risk
[32]
it's boring but totally my kind of
[34]
investing i'm just sharing with you my
[36]
own experience what i use so it is not
[38]
investment advice and i guarantee it
[40]
won't make you rich
[42]
i'm sorry though useful to know if you
[44]
want to earn a little bit more extra
[46]
money with your cryptocurrencies in
[47]
particular when the market goes sideways
[49]
we're going to dive into matrix port
[51]
which is one of the apps and providers
[52]
that i use and we're going to dive into
[53]
the world of
[56]
c5
[59]
so the main question for this whole
[60]
video is how do you earn more
[62]
cryptocurrency without adding more money
[64]
into cryptocurrency and i found out you
[66]
actually can
[67]
and i'm wondering are you also doing
[69]
something similar like getting extra
[71]
income from your cryptocurrencies please
[72]
please let me know in the comments below
[74]
share your secrets let me know but for
[76]
me using
[77]
products that earn interest on my idol
[79]
bitcoins or ethereum is what i do and
[81]
it's super useful or something like
[83]
a savings account but not quite a
[85]
savings account the risks are different
[87]
buyer beware always read the terms and
[89]
conditions geez jason you sound so
[91]
corporate so i'll talk about how
[92]
interest is really generated from
[94]
cryptocurrencies it's almost like when
[96]
your crypto money
[97]
money from different accounts are pulled
[99]
together and this c5 company
[101]
uses it to lend to other people who need
[103]
to borrow this money and you get a cut
[105]
of that interest income
[106]
that kind of business sounds familiar
[108]
think it begins with a b
[110]
so this is an option if you're like me
[112]
you have some crypto but you don't
[114]
want to sell or you don't have any
[115]
particular view on the markets in the
[116]
short term or you just want more income
[119]
in between but jason wait wait what's c5
[121]
then i need to refer to this video here
[123]
it's kind of like a part one video of
[124]
this one
[125]
it'll give you the basics and break it
[127]
down step by step from the
[128]
infrastructure to what it really is and
[130]
apparently many people say it was super
[132]
helpful to understand the topic and i
[133]
became
[134]
someone's financial tutor so if you need
[136]
to explain a video on what's defy and
[138]
what's c5 then feel free to check it out
[139]
later and the c5 model gets a lot of
[142]
beating and bad press
[144]
really shouldn't and i'm telling you
[145]
this first because it makes sense to
[147]
understand the risk before anyone should
[149]
do anything so
[150]
don't even think about any c5 products
[152]
without even knowing this
[153]
those of you who know me know i'm the
[155]
conservative investor type when it comes
[157]
to money
[158]
i don't like to lose it so i always look
[160]
at risks first
[161]
maybe because he's just cheap but the
[164]
biggest risk in c5
[165]
is always looking at the security of
[167]
your own money how sure are you
[169]
can you get your money back and in
[170]
comparison we do trust
[172]
our money with a bank because there's
[174]
regulation there's some form of
[175]
government guarantee there's deposit
[177]
guarantees and as well there's stiff
[179]
penalties and jail time for bankers who
[181]
try to steal our money but at this point
[184]
in time those safeguards aren't quite
[186]
there yet in the world of c5 so
[188]
we as the customer must take some
[190]
security precautions in our own hands
[192]
control the level of risk and not
[194]
fully grant 100 trust to any company
[197]
unless they really
[198]
earn all of it but we also need to be
[200]
fair because banks
[201]
and their security that we are so used
[203]
to now today it took a long time to be
[205]
as secure but back in 1929 to 1933 the
[208]
great depression
[209]
7 000 banks failed in the united states
[212]
according to the federal reserve but
[213]
jason why are you talking about banks
[215]
no i know i might be boring you but hey
[217]
we're dealing with money safety here
[219]
safe and boring is always good with
[221]
money here's four sensible things that i
[223]
would do to lower the risks
[225]
the first thing is you don't put all
[226]
your cryptocurrencies in one basket
[228]
to lower the counterparty risk so the
[230]
risk to one particular party
[232]
as a precaution use different c5
[234]
companies the second thing is to control
[236]
that concentration risk of yours don't
[238]
put all your life savings in one
[240]
cryptocurrency financial product no
[242]
matter how secure it looks from the
[244]
outside
[245]
it's always good for your financial
[246]
health as i've said in other videos if
[248]
you are a little skeptical
[250]
here's a simple test if i lose all my
[252]
cryptocurrencies
[253]
will affect my lifestyle or does it
[254]
affect my sleep and for me the answer is
[256]
no but if the answer is yes for you
[258]
you're probably far too concentrated
[259]
right the third thing is
[261]
know the company risk understand the c5
[263]
company understands business scale does
[265]
it have licenses and it's the government
[267]
or where the business
[268]
is operating in supportive of
[269]
cryptocurrencies and the last risk
[271]
most importantly is make sure you hit
[273]
that like button for this video we'll
[275]
get to other people who need to watch it
[277]
and they might just be risking too much
[279]
and full transparency for you this video
[281]
is sponsored by matrixport but i
[283]
happen to already have been their user
[285]
before they asked me one day to actually
[287]
do this video so i am doing a review
[289]
i'm sharing my experience with you so
[291]
this is not
[292]
investment advice but i'm gonna share
[294]
what i found useful
[295]
what i've learned and my gosh their app
[298]
is so easy to use and now there's
[299]
an even newer matrix port lite version
[302]
user experience is even
[303]
easier than it already already was did
[305]
that sentence just make sense and as i
[307]
mentioned just then i looked at the
[308]
company first before
[310]
really trying out their app because you
[312]
have got to find reasons to trust
[314]
someone else with your cryptocurrencies
[315]
you know rules aren't mature so when i
[317]
looked at matrix plot a few months ago i
[319]
saw
[319]
a young company it was founded in 2019
[322]
headquartered in singapore but you know
[323]
some cryptocurrencies now they brag
[325]
about
[326]
having no headquarters like it's some
[328]
really cool
[329]
updated thing i think you really do need
[332]
headquarters to show customers where to
[334]
find you i don't think companies have
[336]
the right to play hide and seek with
[337]
other people's money so matrixport is
[339]
headquartered in singapore and this
[340]
company has some size
[341]
it employs over 200 people globally and
[343]
has 10 billion dollars of assets under
[345]
management and custody not bad
[347]
not bad but i'm more impressed is with
[349]
the founding team so jihan wu who is
[351]
also linked to bitmain it's the famous
[353]
manufacturing a lot of bitcoin mining
[355]
machines
[355]
now that to me means this team is in
[357]
crypto for the long haul it's not just
[359]
some banker who one day thought crypto
[361]
was interesting so i have been using
[363]
matrix port pro
[364]
for the past few months now and it
[365]
really puts the product front and center
[367]
it's not for day trading it's not for
[369]
credit cards and crypto perks but the
[371]
way that this app
[372]
is set up it's like a wealth manager or
[375]
wealth product for cryptocurrencies
[376]
it offers funds fixed income and flexi
[379]
savings but for those new out there
[381]
i want to talk about the latest matrix
[382]
port lite version right it's the same
[384]
app it looks like this so this
[385]
is the lite version so front and center
[388]
is four main cryptocurrencies you have
[389]
bitcoin you have ethereum and these are
[391]
the two stable coins usdc
[393]
and usdt and the app background does
[396]
change color to the coin colors so check
[398]
this out
[400]
so it does help me to look at what
[401]
return rates i'm looking at for what
[402]
type of crypto coins
[404]
very nice touch you can see the interest
[406]
rate or the return rate changes as you
[408]
hit different type of coins depending on
[409]
what you have on hand
[410]
then it's clearly marked by the time
[412]
kind of like a term deposit so on the
[414]
left it's seven to 14 days so one to two
[416]
weeks
[417]
and the top right is 45 to 60 days so
[419]
not more than two months
[421]
and on the bottom right so 180 days to
[423]
240 days
[424]
so it's nothing too long term it's just
[425]
to put away your coins earn some return
[427]
in the short term
[428]
and nothing exciting two percent three
[430]
percent four percent but it's also not
[432]
meant to be
[433]
exciting it's just some return that you
[435]
can squeeze out of your idle crypto
[437]
coins that's the purpose
[439]
but these rates obviously can change and
[441]
i'm guessing it will depend on the
[442]
demand
[442]
and on the bottom there's a quick about
[444]
us about the company page
[446]
and you can see some of the business
[447]
scale and the scopes of 5 billion in
[449]
monthly trading volume 10 billion and
[451]
assets under management that i mentioned
[453]
before
[454]
700 billion outstanding loans that's
[456]
where interest income comes in and over
[457]
200 employees globally so that's the
[460]
scale of the company so before i go into
[461]
the advanced investment section here
[463]
let's look at what these fixed income
[465]
products invest in first
[467]
where does your interest money come in
[468]
that's the most important question so
[470]
let's click here the fixed income
[471]
product agreement on the bottom i know
[473]
many people don't really read the stuff
[474]
this is dry documentation but i do point
[477]
four
[478]
so you can see that this fixed income is
[480]
used for pledging
[481]
lending or leverage lending to other
[483]
users so that's where the interest
[485]
actually comes from
[486]
your cryptocurrencies is linked to
[488]
others who are borrowing it who then pay
[489]
the interest and it makes sense that
[491]
matrixport will pay you part of that
[493]
interest and then keep the rest
[494]
and point seven you can see that the
[496]
products can be terminated especially in
[498]
extreme fluctuations
[499]
but it's also the benefit for us so the
[502]
user doesn't lose money
[503]
for sort of a low risk type of
[505]
investment but again it's not a
[506]
principal guaranteed product which you
[508]
can see on the next point so point 15.
[510]
so basically this is not a principal
[512]
guarantee
[513]
it is not a substitute for bank savings
[514]
or deposits in a legal speak you won't
[517]
even be an
[518]
unsecured creditor you can ask me in the
[519]
comments below if you don't know what
[521]
that means but if something happens
[522]
you're way at the back of the line so
[524]
there is risk here but i like the
[526]
honesty on point 18
[527]
you can see that matrix port or myself
[529]
you know i'm not a representative for
[531]
them i don't work for them but just to
[532]
make it clear this is not a solicitation
[535]
to buy or sell for residents in the u.s
[537]
hong kong singapore or other regions
[539]
where solicitation is not allowed i'm
[541]
not selling you
[542]
if you're watching from these places and
[543]
if you're not from these places
[545]
maybe i am no i'm not really not so
[548]
after these tncs the terms and
[550]
conditions
[550]
if you still want to earn some extra
[552]
return on your idle cryptocurrencies and
[554]
the minimum you need for these coins on
[556]
matrix port to start with bitcoin is
[558]
0.01 bitcoins for ethereum at 0.01
[561]
for usdc and usdt they're both at least
[564]
100 units
[565]
so matrix point wants to take care of
[566]
new users so you actually default to the
[568]
lite version of the app but if you're
[569]
like me you want a bit more bells and
[571]
whistles one click on the top left
[573]
of the same app there's only one app in
[575]
the top left corner brings you to the
[577]
pro version and from the pro version you
[578]
can also switch to the lite version and
[580]
here's just a quick sneak peek of the
[582]
pro version
[583]
there's many other different products
[584]
like dual currency flexi saving crypto
[586]
funds but i won't explain all of that in
[588]
this video here otherwise i'm just gonna
[589]
keep talking and talking although i can
[591]
but i won't so i'm just sharing this my
[594]
own ways of generating income from
[596]
crypto because i don't day trade i don't
[598]
buy and sell every day i'm totally awful
[600]
at that and i'll probably lose money so
[601]
i use matrix port to earn a bit more for
[603]
my own crypto and it's just one of the
[605]
c5 apps that i use
[606]
if you do want to start out i have less
[608]
some freebie links down below in the
[609]
description
[610]
including 1288 usdc which you can use
[614]
immediately to generate returns you
[615]
can't withdraw this 1280a the intention
[618]
is using it to use some products to
[619]
generate a return it's still riskless
[621]
for you
[621]
i think you've heard enough from me but
[623]
remember this is really not investment
[624]
advice i haven't just analyzed what i
[626]
thought was useful and sharing with
[627]
everyone here on this video
[628]
hope it helps
