Go to a bank and find a better ROI with just a minimum of $205 good luck!
Just depends how secure the investment is. At guaranteed return of 3*12/2000 (1.8%) - and I mean guaranteed, the investment is sound (way better than RL banks).
If there is any risk, then it infers the ROI should be higher.
Remember, this isnāt a āfairā market (itās like the DOW operating in every country from the USA to Ethiopia- the only winners are the metaphorical USA residents).
your calculation is incorrect.
It should be 3x52/2000= 7,8%
Still a lot better than ANY bank will give you.
Even with 2 ped per week itās still around 5%.
CLD/AUD are risky investments due to them being bound to a specific platform and company. Well you can say that investing/playing Entropia is an investment with high risk overall. There are three reasons I can think of to why the ROI should be higher than banks:
-
When depositing/withdrawing PEDS you go through exchange rates and a withdrawal fee. These exchange rates can be seen as risks, even if you might profit on them due to currency rates. The withdrawal fee is pure loss, which you must cover with profits.
-
Withdrawals takes very long time (up to 90 business days). This period locks your investment and you lose potential money that could have been made on interest or other investments.
-
There has always been the risk that Mindark can be interfered by gambling regulations. Comparing a bank to a company like Mindark I can say that a bank has much more secure position and financial capacities, which in itself is also a downside to investing in Entropia.
We all have chosen to invest a part of our money and time in Entropia so we believe to some extent that this is a good investment/entertainment worth to risk a part of our earnings 
I think selling at 2038 was awesome plus you got the div for 5 years.
If I was you, Iād hold and wait for the next big thing to come along.
I said 5 years ago that if investors use CLD to cease deposits and not to assist their avatar growth MA will change the game. Theyāre doing that with the new eco and efficient weapons. This trend āWILLā continue.
I donāt think CLD are worth huge values.
Part of the price hike was the āunknownā of how useful land plot will be. Itās a very clever move by MA, making them expensive to develop before you even get off the ground.
So is there really any money in the plots? thatās for you to decide I guess.
Personally Iād rather not be locked into an investment, because Iāve been steered down that road. Iād rather skill an activity because it gives me joy.
Anyway I think the tables are turning, itās players that will keep the game going, and MA have moved the goal posts in favour of active play.
I think CLDās have had their day in the sun.

well, I bought them back and even more as before after selling some storage junk. I think theyāre worth it, even at this price. Iād rather put my ped in deeds then have them lying dead in my storage or to waste it on clicking the same mob for thousands of times.
Donāt have much time to play and besides, the mindless grinding ceased to be fun to me.
Occasionally I buy some ammo for a little hunting and Iām happy that by now I can do that for āfreeā from the payouts.
All the payouts have stayed in the game though with no intentions to withdraw anytime soon.
I find more fun in logging in occasionally to see the balance in the ped flow centre grow steadily.
Iāve been here for over a decade already now, so time is getting less relevant.
Letās see where the account stands in 2025.
ā¦a year has past.
the ride went up to 2250 but now weāre back to where we were.
The trend looks like the CLD are going to take a nose dive.
Payouts have been halved since a year ago.
And at the current price of just over 2k the returns have dropped to under 5%.
Time to sell as for 5% Iām not going to sit on these deeds anymore.
I thought youāre feeling a void when you donāt have deeds.
yes, I do still feel the void now I ditched them. And it was a tough step for me to take. Feels a bit like ending an era.
So Iām going to keep 1 for nostalgic reasons. :laugh:
If they pay back over 10% again, I might reconsider stepping back in. But 5% just doesnāt justify holding on to them anymore.
Maybe Iāll try some real stocks with that cash. :rolleyes:
I think I made the mistake of logging in to often, playing to much, spending to much instead of just letting it grow steadilyā¦
That made me see the dwindling returns, dwindling CLD value and dwindling account value due to lack of loot.
