I’ve deposited Bitcoin in Celsius Network expecting to earn 8.43% interest. So far, I haven’t received anything close to that. Are they lying? Is it a scam? Is my money safe with them?

Hi Sarah,

When you sign up to Celsius Network, there should be a ‘Deposit’ button on the homescreen. When tapping that, it’ll give you an address to deposit your assets. If those assets are supported by Celsius Network, then you should be able to deposit it to the corresponding address.

Should you need to reach out to Celsius Network, we recommend getting in touch here https://twitter.com/Celsius…

Hi Korean Visitor,

They have Loan to Value ratios that generally protect them in such events. Should the value of the crypto drop below a certain price, the collateral and loan will be automatically liquidated protecting them from any such events.

The Loan-to-Value (LTV) is what determines the amount of crypto collateral you need to provide. For example, if you want to borrow $10,000 in a collateralized loan and the LTV is 50%, then you would need to provide $20,000 worth of Bitcoin.

Most crypto lenders offer such solutions with significant crypto-based collateral protecting them from such events. It is a really good point though and something to look out for when choosing a lender. Generally, those without healthy LTVs are best to avoid as they could be problematic in a bear market.

I heard about Celsius Network when they just launched the platform,
I haven’t used it myself, but this article definitely is very clear, I hope you can share more info in the future.

BTW I read that Celsius Network app is available in more than 100 nations and each of these countries comes with unique laws surrounding cryptocurrency, I travel a lot so how do I know which countries I will be able to use it. ?
thank you
