all right apr versus apy i want to make this real聽 easy so that all of you can understand and teach聽聽
[6]
others because the goal here is not only for you聽 to learn something but for you to be able to teach聽聽
[9]
it to somebody else at the end of the day apr is聽 the basics it's how much money you're going to get聽聽
[15]
at the end of one year by putting an聽 investment in so let's say you put聽聽
[19]
you know you put down an investment of ten聽 thousand dollars and you have a apr of ten percent聽聽
[25]
at the end of that first year you're going聽 to get back 1 000 yet pretty simple pretty聽聽
[33]
straightforward now that's not good you don't聽 want that what you want it to look at is the apy聽聽
[40]
because unlike apr you're going to be including聽 everything so if you have any fees associated聽聽
[47]
with that transaction if you're actually聽 getting paid out on a consistent basis so聽聽
[52]
compound interest is your best friend and this is聽 where real money actually gets generated and i'm聽聽
[60]
going to go into us a few charts so you can see聽 an example of what this looks like but let's talk聽聽
[64]
about yield farming that's why we're here right so聽 when it comes to yield farming take a look at this聽聽
[69]
a lot of sites will just list the聽 harvest apy this here is harvest finance聽聽
[73]
so there their whole thing is harvesting so you're聽 getting 355 apy which is great but it doesn't go聽聽
[81]
in depth as far as what does that actually mean聽 if we move over to the next one here we have ape聽聽
[86]
rocket now i like the way they do this they give聽 you the um the apy up top but they also give you聽聽
[92]
the apr on the bottom so it gives you a little bit聽 better understanding as far as how this works um聽聽
[98]
because on the top what you're doing is actually聽 reinvesting the gains that you've acquired in to聽聽
[105]
um more gains so you get the money that you got聽 and then you put it back in that's how the apy is聽聽
[111]
kind of coming about because of compound interest聽 now my favorite of all these is it's got to be ape聽聽
[117]
swap because apeswap you know next to all of these聽 aprs because these are all aprs and they're pretty聽聽
[123]
um good with this there's this little yellow聽 box now if you click here you're going to see聽聽
[129]
this this chart that shows you what your return聽 on investment is and the last one is your apy聽聽
[135]
which is the return on investment after one full聽 year you're actually earning i got to go back to聽聽
[141]
this because this is great so 323 right now if we聽 look at the apu why we're going to actually earn聽聽
[148]
2 403 and this is because of compound interest聽 it's because you're reinvesting the money that聽聽
[156]
you're acquiring because they're paying聽 you out on a daily basis which is awesome聽聽
[162]
this is what you want to see so let's talk about聽 a real life example how can you better understand聽聽
[167]
this so i have a little slide here to to go聽 over here's an example we're going to look at聽聽
[172]
a one-time investment so you're putting down 15聽 000 once the apr is 150 which is totally doable聽聽
[180]
when it comes to um cryptocurrencies and we're聽 going to look at over three years let's talk聽聽
[184]
about long-term investments and just how big of聽 an impact the uh the rate can really have and if聽聽
[190]
you really know what you're doing you're going to聽 look at the api and you're going to start telling聽聽
[194]
everybody what's the apy i don't think about the聽 apr because that doesn't include you know when it聽聽
[198]
comes to loans doesn't include fees does include聽 anything apy will tell you the true story what's聽聽
[204]
really happening and before i get into that if you聽 wouldn't mind hit that like button it will go a聽聽
[208]
long way to helping the channel and educating聽 more people when it comes to cryptocurrencies聽聽
[213]
finances in general just make sure that you all聽 are being successful long term as we get right聽聽
[218]
back into this so 15 000 150 apr over three聽 years here's what this is going to look like
[229]
two hundred and thirty four thousand dollars聽 after three years by simply putting down聽聽
[235]
fifteen thousand dollars at聽 a hundred and fifty percent聽聽
[239]
apr now here's the thing this apr is actually聽 an apy because when you're getting paid on a聽聽
[249]
yearly basis that's when you're reinvesting in聽 so essentially this one is an apr and an apy聽聽
[257]
all-in-one because it's compounding yearly now聽 if we take this a step further and we take a look聽聽
[263]
at compounding quarterly your gains just they聽 they start to go up way way quickly so 685 000聽聽
[272]
just by instead of getting paid out once a聽 year if the interest is being compounded on聽聽
[277]
a quarterly basis this is just if you're getting聽 paid four times a year as opposed to once a year聽聽
[282]
now taking that to the next level let's talk about聽 what happens when it's 12 times a year so monthly聽聽
[287]
your gains in three years just with聽 a fifteen thousand dollar investment聽聽
[291]
goes up to a million dollars yeah farming is worth聽 it yield farming is the thing because it makes聽聽
[298]
you a lot of money as long as you're investing聽 in the right thing and making sure that you're聽聽
[302]
putting money on things that are trustworthy and聽 not you know projects that are just going to get聽聽
[306]
you know get get the rug pulled from under it so聽 make sure you know what you're investing in but聽聽
[311]
compound interest is your friend when it comes聽 to these things last but not least this is the聽聽
[315]
most common when it comes to yield farming and聽 why it's so profitable because if you compound聽聽
[320]
daily your fifteen thousand dollars in three years聽 becomes 1.3 million dollars that's a lot of money聽聽
[329]
that's a lot of money so if you're able to yield聽 farm if you're able to put a little bit aside聽聽
[334]
to get a good return long term this is so worth聽 it and i can't preach enough about yield farming聽聽
[341]
because it's the way for you to earn a really good聽 passive income as long as you invest in things聽聽
[346]
that you know are going to give you a good return聽 in your investment so taking a look at the numbers聽聽
[352]
let's put this chart one on top of the other look聽 at this it is exponential the rate at which your聽聽
[359]
uh your gains just take off it's it's exponential聽 you can see that that curve is just going straight聽聽
[365]
on up as opposed to that little blue one where聽 you're only getting paid once a year so compound聽聽
[370]
interest it's your friend take a look at this聽 chart here it's a big difference here's what the聽聽
[376]
real apy is based on your compounding schedule if聽 it's yearly it's just the same as an apr if you go聽聽
[383]
quarterly it jumps up to 257 percent that's that's聽 big monthly so 12 times a year now you're at 310聽聽
[391]
almost 311 there daily you're at 346 almost 47聽 that's a huge number in comparison to what you聽聽
[400]
would you know otherwise get with just your yearly聽 payouts and your apr so be careful and be aware聽聽
[407]
of what it is that people are promising you and聽 what you're reading on the site because your apy聽聽
[413]
is going to tell you the true story if you're only聽 looking at an apr that's how people are making聽聽
[419]
money off of other people so be careful with that聽 guys thank you so much and i know i've said it聽聽
[424]
once but i'll say it again if you wouldn't mind聽 liking this video but if you don't mind sharing聽聽
[427]
