The fight between lending platforms , the SEC and are they worth the risk ? (Alternatives included)
At the beginning of this year cryptocurrencies caught major attention because of the rise in the price of bitcoin as well as millions of dollers lost in Iota, NEM due to Coincheck and Bitconnect.
This has caused serious attention from the U.S. Securities exchange and commission board (SEC). Websites like USI Tech and Bitconnect have received cease and desist orders to protect the public. Regulations in cryptocurrency will increase over time so its wise to look at which sites or coin are registered legally.
Davorcoin- https://davor.io/Account/Registration?r=8D2B22
Including others have a lot to worry about for me I have already received my initial investment back plus interest. I will still reap the rewards although Davorcoin has opened its lending program to include early capital release to make investors feel safer the price per dav has dropped dramatically. Rather it be the regulations or rumors/ media influence lending platforms future is looking bleek.

Conclusion: Yes lending platforms are risky and in the grey area of crypto space for now but if the platforms are filed under as securities, regulated and made legitimate they can become a very useful financial tool. I have invested in both to diversify my earnings as well as my risks. Only invest what you can afford to loose even profits can be made on small amounts invested.
