How Loans Work in Stackit.ai: A Beginner's Guide

Originally published August 2023 · Updated for Stackit.ai

Have you ever thought about using your money twice?

Most rich people buy things like houses or pieces of companies. Then, they borrow money and use those things they bought as a promise to pay back the loan. They can keep the things they bought and get more money to spend or save. But this can be dangerous if you're not careful. Stackit.ai is a platform that lets you do this safely. We'll talk about how anyone can use Stackit.ai to be smart with their money.

What is Stackit.ai?

Stackit.ai is a rules-based treasury tool. It lets you use your money to pay bills and save at the same time. How? Let's look at an example:

Meet Miguel: A Stacker

Miguel has a $25 Netflix bill. Before he pays it, he goes to Stackit.ai and adds $10 extra. So now, his total is $35.

Here's what Miguel does:

  • He puts the whole $35 in Stackit.ai.
  • Stackit.ai takes Miguel's $35, and then lets him borrow $25.
  • Miguel gets that $25 right away.

Investing Begins

Stackit.ai takes at least $32 of Miguel's $35 and invests it equally into Bitcoin and Ethereum. So Miguel pays his Netflix bill and saves money at the same time. It's not magic, it's just being smart with money.

How Does the Loan Work?

The loan in Stackit.ai is a special kind of loan where you have more money deposited than you're borrowing. The best part? There are no credit checks, and it doesn't connect to your credit at all. You don't have to pay it back every month as long as you have enough extra money (buffer) to cover it.

What if the Money Value Goes Down?

If that happens, Stackit.ai will automatically use your collateral to pay down the loan and keep your position safe. You can also always pay off the loan or put in more money.

Why is This Smart?

This is a smart way to save money and use compound interest, which makes your money grow.

Here's an example:

If you put $500 a month in for 20 years, and it grows by 15% a year, you'd have $614,661.50.

If you borrowed $415 a month to pay bills during that time with a 4% interest rate, you'd owe $148,294.83. But you'd still have $614,661.50 growing.

Rich people often do this: borrowing money instead of selling things that are growing in value.

Conclusion

Stackit.ai is a smart way to manage your money. You can borrow against your own deposits to spend and save at the same time. You can make your money work twice as hard for you!

If you want to use Stackit.ai, it can help you take charge of your money. Try it and see how it works for you!

Important Note: Remember, investing money can be risky. It might be a good idea to talk to someone who knows about money or do lots of research before you make large investing choices. This is not financial advice.
