PYNK Review – People Powered Investment
There is a vivid distinction between trading an asset versus investing in one. Trading is the continuous process of leveraging the volatility of a base asset and taking chances. It is in some way, an intellectual’s gamble. On the other hand, investing in the process of evaluating a variety of assets, making calculated decisions to eventually settle on an asset or a basket of assets in the hope of expecting periodical returns.
In this age of continuous and constant change, it is considerably tough to ascertain what and how to trade or invest in. Investors are puzzled about what asset or investment will be profitable in the long run to give them returns, while the traders are puzzled at the random and unpredictable volatility. There is an obvious need for a new methodology of investing , as traditional means do not seem to fit into the current economic landscape.
Pynk.io
“We’re building PYNK to be the world’s most inclusive Investment Platform. Regardless of your wealth, race or religion – PYNK is financially inclusive and is the platform where socially conscious investors can help shape a better future for all, whilst enjoying superior returns.”
Perpetual Yields from Networked Knowledge or PYNK is the brainchild of a group of investors and developers lead by CEO Seth Ward, who strongly believe in the collective, more specifically, they believe in the wisdom of the collective. This “ people-powered ” application fundamentally runs on the principles of ‘The Wisdom of the Crowd’.
Wisdom of the Crowd is an old idea according to which, even though one man may not be able to correctly ascertain a particular solution, a group of people have a greater chance to find it. It is generally seen that Crowds are better at predicting, solving, decision-making and innovating and in some way, it can be argued that this small idea was the driving force and cornerstone behind humanity’s entrance into the Information Age.
Pynk.io is the world’s first People Powered Investment Platform that leverages data collected from its users and integrates that data with ROSE , their home-grown AI to help make investment strategies. Pynk understands that the more users they have, the higher the predicting capability of the platform. Using the Crowd, Rose – the AI and a panel of experts who analyse the suggestions, Pynk has been able to develop a fool proof, highly reliable mechanism to automate investment.
With Pynk, you can choose any of the two options in investing. One is the Everyday Investor option that allows you to make use of Pynk’s investing strategies chosen by the experts to make profitable returns. It is a lucrative option for individuals who are not able to give as much time to background research as they would like to. The other option is to join in on the Crowd Investment Platform, where the investor is asked to make their predictions about assets and instruments such as Bitcoin , NASDAQ, Gold and a variety of other assets. Pynk then uses these predictions, aggregates them with the library of prediction from all of its users and finally runs it through Rose . Investors who make the closest predictions are allocated with ‘Wisdom Points’ (WPs).
Let us discuss in detail about the capabilities of PYNK:
- Proven Reliability: As described in detail in the Pynk Paper , the Price Prediction tool operated by the Investor data, Rose and Experts forms the backbone of the short, medium and long-term predictions made by Pynk. It allows them to distribute their information input and diversify their portfolio, as they have to take into consideration the suggestion of all individuals. The investors will make predictions as long as they believe in the strategies suggested by Rose, while Rose will make accurate predictions as long as the investors keep supplying data about their predictions. It forms a two-way relationship between the Investors and the Platform, by which the success of the platform hinges.
- Wisdom of our Crowd – WoC: Wisdom Points is the mechanism that incentivizes the investors, in the end, to keep making predictions. PYNKsters, as they are called, are asked to literally “invest” their time and resources into the platform for which they are rewarded with Wisdom Points (WPs). WPs are the platform’s way to ensure loyalty and readiness to predict. Each quarter, the PYNKsters exchange their WPs for a share of Pynk Profits in the form of Pynk Security tokens.
- Stability of the Native Token: Access to the Pynk platform is restricted through their native security token. The token is an indication of a pool of base assets such as Bitcoin, Gold, USD and other stable assets. This gives value to the token and acts as a driver of value. There are many advantages to a blockchain-based solution from traceability to transparency and ease of access. The main benefit for investors, however, is the flexibility of a token model. Tokens are tradeable, which means that an investor can exit their investment at any point in time by selling to an interested buyer, without affecting the total money managed by PYNK. There are a total of 21,052,632 tokens to be issued in the first tranche.
- Types of Investments: The Pynk platform is willing to invest in the asset as long as the crowd deems it to be rewarding in the short or the long run. Primarily, their attention is towards Blockchain and cryptocurrency projects , but they have no objection with diversifying to other mechanisms.
The Team has allocated three broad categories for the crowd to segregate and predict.
- Short Term – Trading – Volatile Assets
- Medium Term – Investing – Growth Assets
- Long Term – Incubating – Start-ups
- No Limitations or Segregation: It is the platform’s mission to dissolve any types of segregation. The Pynk team expressed with great enthusiasm that the platform will not segregate between any person, be it race, colour, nationality and even the amount of contribution. Any person around the world with any amount can be a part of the Pynk Platform and contribute their time and resources to allow for mutual growth.
Is there any Opportunity of Investment?
With the Beta version of the platform already up and running, there are already about 6000 PYNKsters across more than 50 countries worldwide. A cap of $100,000 is limited to each investor, to save the platform from monopoly.
There are several reasons why the Pynk platform could be an attractive investment for any investor in the cryptocurrency space. For starters, the Pynk Native token is advertised as a Security Token, meaning that it is asset backed by the Assets under Management (AUM), it’s registered with Regulators and requires full KYC from all its investors, keeping a close check-on with the regulatory requirements. To make the investment more lucrative, Pynk has also managed to bring in institutional investors and growth partners to back their platform, including and not exclusive to the NatWest group, the Royal Bank of Scotland, 360Labs and Founder Institute.
Keeping in mind that the Pynk Team is hell-bent on making a platform that is decentralized in multiple ways, both from management point of view and information-wise, any investor will be enticed to join hands with them once they realize the future of Crowd-investing. The team is always on the lookout for improving the platform, by searching for better algorithms, better asset classes, and better experts to keep the platform in check.
Pynk is a platform to look out for in the future, because… as they actually say it themselves ‘none of us are as smart as all of us’.
