Right now, the only test Davor has to pass is letting people cash out, which really hasn't been tested...No one can touch Davor's rates.
If you can't cash out, then rates mean nothing.
By the way, have you ever heard of bait and switch?
They could give you high rates in the beginning just to hook you, and once they get enough people on board, they can lower the rates. Your money will be locked up in the system while Bitcoin rises higher and higher. In other words, you will lose.
This is the tactic Bitconnect used. Rates started high, and now they are dwindling.
Davor contracts are similar to Bitconnect - they're rather lengthy, plus you can lock in your loan for another 120 days to get a .1% bonus a day, which I think is a good strategy.
On the other end, Regal has the most user-friendly terms of contract, only being locked in for 99 days. However, this is backfiring, as the price of REC has crashed since the team did not work on an internal exchange that would allow them to control the price, and contracts are now expiring, causing a further sell off and lowering of prices. Still, whereas you're locked in for at least a half a year for Bitconnect and Davor, all contracts are only locked in 99 days for REC. Regal has its problems, but that is one advantage for the end-user it has over the other lending platforms (but it's coming back to bite the REC team).
Rates always start out high, and they inevitably have to drop as more people come into the program. More people = more payouts = smaller interest rates. It's inevitable for every coin. Regal was the best for awhile, but their rates have really decreased with the price of REC. I think Davor has a better means of controlling the price since Davor had an internal exchange BEFORE releasing the platform and it's working smoothly. So IMO, if someone was interested in doing one of these lending platforms, the strategy is to get in early, while the rates are high. That's why I like Davor, and it was the reason I invested into Regal in mid-October.
It's up to the individual person if he/she would rather just hold bitcoin and gain in that manner over risking getting lower returns in the short-term but profiting more in the long-term (provided the lending platform is still around in a year). If the lending program is around in a year's time, the compound interest makes the investment worth it, to me. It's a gamble, as
everything is in crypto.
For those who are interested in Davor, use the link below, sign up for an account (unlike Regal, you don't have to be approved by another member, so the application process is simplified and quicker), and take a look around. Davor is crushing it right now because they had their platform ready to go BEFORE starting their lending program, which is why REC is low in price right now - they didn't have their website together before starting the lending program.

https://regalcoin.co/ref/FIATNAMI like some of Regal's layout, but they have to get to work on an internal exchange. The question now is, how low will REC go until they get the exchange running? It could be cheaper than a dollar by that time. If so, I'm taking the plunge and buying more, betting that the price will precipitously increase once the internal exchange is up and running.
