How did I generate ~200% APY in Celsius Network?


For the uninitiated this is what CelsiusNetwork is -

Celsius Network is a CeFi Centralized Finance firm which is headed by Alex "The Machine" Mashinsky. Main USP of Celsius is 

"things like fair interest(both lending & earning), zero gas fees, and lightning quick transactions"

Let's get to the topic of consideration -

Step 1 - Create your Celsius Account - https://celsiusnetwork.app.link/197823bd97

This link would set you up with a bump of $50 in BTC on depositing cryptos worth more than $400 and HODLing it for 30 days. It can be in multiple coins also. Meanwhile, you'll earn interest on your crypto for the time period.

Step 2 - Use the Promo Code = BNB40
Transfer $400 or more in BNB to your Celsius account and receive $40 bonus in BNB.

Step 3 - 

*STABLE50* -
Deposit $200 USDT/USDC in cel for 30 days ; get $50 BTC

*STABLE10*
Deposit $50 USDT/USDC ; 30 Days ; $10 BTC reward

Both codes can work simultaneously. Activate both the codes.

Then do a single deposit of $250+ and you're set to receive $(50+10) at end of 30 days (save on Gas fees)

 

Let's do some calculations =

1) Total Investment (excluding Referral Code):

a) For Step 2 = $400
b) For Step 3 = $250

c) Gas Fees = 0 
(I send all my transfers through Nexo, being a Platinum Member allows me to have 5 free withdrawals in a month) 

Total = a + b + c = $650

Total Rewards :

a) From BNB40 = $40
b) From STABLE = $50 + $10 = $60

Total Rewards = $100

Return on Investment = 100 / 650 * 100 = 15.38% in a month

APY would be = 15.38% * 12 =  188%

 

2) Total Investment (with Referral Code):

a) For Step 1 = $400
b) For Step 2 = $400
c) For Step 3 = $250

d) Gas Fees = 0 
(I send all my transfers through Nexo, being a Platinum Member allows me to have 5 free withdrawals in a month) 

Total = a + b + c + d = $1050

Total Rewards :

a) From BNB40 = $40
b) From STABLE = $50 + $10 = $60
c) From Referral = $50

Total Rewards = $150

 

Return on Investment = 150 / 1050 * 100 = 14.28% in a month

APY would be = 14.28% * 12 =  176%

 

Lesson Learnt?

APY is a misleading number.

Whatever information that I have put above is statistically / mathematically is correct but the interpretation is wrong. See the below examples -

600% APY?

900% APY?

1500+ % APY?

Now you have seen how this APY is calculated and arrived at. I can get the values for weekly/daily time periods as well. This is just a clever marketing gimmick. Tread with credence.

I have come across this amazing website which does an easy work of converting APY to APR and vice-versa. It takes weekly/daily/monthly compounding into account. Little unrelated but while we are at this subject, its good to know this information. Link = https://www.aprtoapy.com/

 

I hope you understood the point I am trying to make here. If you do, then let me know your thoughts in the comment section.

 

 

^_^ Have Fun Guys!
