Finterra fights against Ponzi Schemes

Bernie Mad off may be one of the most well-known Ponzi schemers He did it with mainstream investments. But the principle of a pyramid scheme, in which you take money from new investors to pay previous investors, can be applied to Bitcoin scams. In 2019, three men were arrested in a $722 million cryptocurrency fraud scheme. The men operated BitClub Network for years. The scheme solicited money from investors in exchange for shares of cryptocurrency mining pools. It also supposedly rewarded investors for recruiting new investors. As you can imagine, the investors never got any returns on their investments in the end. These kinds of Ponzi schemes are on the rise and are detrimental to investors and further undermines the genuine crypto industry’s credibility and consumer relationships.

Islamic Finance — How Does It Work, Why Is It Protected?

  As the launch of FINTERRA’s WAQF Chain grows nearer, I am constantly reminded about the origins of Islamic Finance and how it positions itself as a contributor to society through its charitable activities. An article from the Global Finance magazine maps out key attributes of Islamic Finance and why it is gaining traction the world over. Most people know that Islamic finance is a way of performing financial transactions and banking while respecting Islamic law or  sharia . The same people would be surprised to know that Islamic finance hardly existed 30 years ago. Yet today it is a $2.2 trillion industry with hundreds of specialised institutions located in more than 60 countries. Islamic banks are by far the biggest players in the Islamic finance industry and account for $1.5 trillion in assets. According to a 2017 Reuters report, Islamic bank assets should reach $2.7 trillion while total sharia-compliant assets are expected to grow to $3.5 trillion by 2021. The IMF plans to add Is

Virtually Everywhere — Your Cash May Be a Thing of the Past

  According to an article on News USA, coins jangling in a pocket are likely to be a thing of the past if companies that promote virtual currency (VC) have anything to say about it. "The attraction of using VC," it says, "stems from massive credit card hacks to retailers, such as Home Depot and Target — all of which have raised questions among consumers about how safe their personal information is." Currently, consumers have much of their information on display with their credit card company of choice and, for anyone with mediocre knowledge of technology and a laptop, it means open season. This is why it makes sense to consider how blockchain technologies and, with it, virtual currency, may help. One of the problems is that there are only about 80,000 merchants worldwide that recognize and use VC, but from a business standpoint, it is worth exploring.
