The extra interest is only useful when we have a considerable amount of satoshis left in our freebitco.in account.
But besides that, more number of FUN tokens directly gives us more WOF spins which directly gives us more rewards.
So my aim is mostly towards accumulating more rewards.
I recently withdraw a nice amount but before that I had about 0.1 BTC on freebitco.in so the extra interest you got, thanks to the premium membership, was a nice amount and it added up pretty quickly. As you mention, you also get more daily WOF spins which is why I think 12 500 tokens is the sweet spot.
Current interest rate is 4.08% and with 10% interest boost by holding 12.5k FUN tokens the total interest rate becomes 4.48%.
By holding 0.1BTC you were getting around 0.00001315 BTC per day which I think is pretty decent.
I hope my calculation is not wrong here. Let me know in case.
Your calculations are rigt. It might seem as a small amount daily but after some time it is a decent sum and is also one of the main reasons I wanted to have at least 12500 tokens. With the interest I have right now a little bit above this tresholf and I will probably sell these when we get a big pump in the prize.
Well, first, I agree with you definitely, but come to think of this, consider the money invested, put aside the 12500 fun tokens needed for the 10% interest boost, put aside the money spent to buy this 12500 fun tokens, lets focus on the value of 0.1 Bitcoin, 0.1 Bitcoin is currently worth over $2700 dollars, who will invest or stake this amount of Bitcoin and not expect a decent sum as interest ?
And also do not forget the fact that Bitcoin kept on freebitco are not yours since you do not have control or access over or to the keys that hold that btc, it's a huge risk after all, and not every one will be willing to take such risk for daily peanuts like 0.00001315 btc in interest ..
That is a valid point and is a major concern. Although I do trust freebitco.in because it has gained a good reputation over the past yet 0.1 BTC is something that I cannot afford to lose.
The thumb rule of holding bitcoin is that never put it in a place where you can't afford to lose it.
This is the reason why I don't hold much on freebitco.in. I hold only an amount that I can afford to lose.
