The difference between this fund and a hyip like chain is that hyips are a ponzi, where this fund is a solvent fund that invests in hyips. This isn't readily provable, but it will be evident when all the current hyip's have passed in a year or so, and the fund is still around. The other reason is there will be losses sometimes, like last week when my friend took his allocation and put it in hashtraders.biz which already went bust this week. It is amazing how horribly perfect his timing was! (We're going to have to change out allocation system). Of course, this is fun for us, it is just an experiment. I enjoy blogging about actual investments and discussing and analyzing them, but I kind of regret advertising it on a large-ish scale because it is mainly an intellectual endeavor, at least for me. On the bright side, I used to consider chain.group to be just as scammy, but after reading your comment, I mapped out its business model and it seems more sustainable than I first thought, as they get a buffer from their extra commissions they make by sending investors to HYIP's featured on the platform. It seems only somewhat less stable than Bitconnect, which has been able to sustain itself itself super cleverly for so long using proof of stake from its premined tokens.
