What would happen if the borrower can't repay his loan?
From the whitepaper, there are 3 ways to secure the loan, i.e. debenture, director's guarantee, and insurance.
I suspect the kind of invoices they will be attracting will be high-quality stuff, which should be good as Populous should not risk being a brand name that sells junk invoices.
Thanks...can you pls point me to the part in the whitepaper you just mentioned above? not able to locate it.
If have not all details about this, lets say worstcase the money is lost, (and I not know exactly all plans POP to minimize the risk) then your investment is lost.(simple as that)
For this reason it is very important not to invest in a single or several invoices, spread out your PPT-Pokens over 20-50 investments.
POP introduced already into there Alpha-Software a feature called group-bidding where you can invest with a group of investors in a single invoice with small number of PPTs.
Do this on 20-50 group-biddings and you have minimized your risk, if one borrower can not pay you loose only a fraction of your invest and the other 99% invoives which pay-back plus interest will
pay back what you lost.
But there also other precautions you can take (together with that what POP will provide on top) :
Take
1) Borrower which is well known on the platform to pay back in time
2) Borrower which has good reputation
3) not a new Borrower
4) Borrower from a "good" industrie(Pharma-Industrie is better than as Nigthclub, a little craftsman business is better than a newly opened webdesign office, etc ,etc
5) A invoice with > 25% interest is also not a good sign...
Also I realized today that not more than 4-5 people that write here have realized the dramatic opportunitie of Populous for us.
The rest of the people may have only understood 10-70% what Populous is doing, and what the value of PPT is.
We are here all pioneers into a complete new universe of opportunitie ! Do not let the little things distract you, and never forget - HOLD , HOLD and
HOLD Its a opportunitie of a life time.
