Anyone hold or use Voyager Digital (VYGVF)? An interest-bearing crypto platform app.

I don't use or hold Voyager. If it isn't available on Coinbase, I don't look elsewhere. I don't use apps either. I don't do any financial transactions using my phone, so I can't help.

Thanks for the info. Voyager is commission free and pays interest on holdings. That makes it of considerable interest.

Harper -- re: VYGVF ... I hold VYGVF in my account.

I don't use VYGVF. This is a long-term hold.

I was going to buy VGX if it were available on Coinbase but it wasn't. I did buy Algorand (ALGO) and Cosmos (ATOM) which pay rewards (interest/dividends).

Voyager has about 50 coins on it.

Interest rates look good. They pay them on stable coins as well as 6.25% BTC, 5.25% ETH, 6.5% LTC, etc.

This looks very tempting: investvoyager.com

Particularly since I am paying a fee to buy small amounts of BTC and ETH on Paypal, and no interest.

Do you buy crypto elsewhere or just hold the stock?

I've been looking for the catch to Voyager but haven't found one yet (other than complaints about customer service, which are normal in companies that don't offer phone service anymore.)

I buy most of my crypto, including BTC and ETH on Coinbase Pro. From what I have read, Coinbase has the most secure network of all the companies and nearly all of their assets are in cold wallets saving me the time to set one up myself. Therefore, I have no intention of setting up a Voyager account.

I have BTC and ETH with PYPL for emergency use, but I do not intend on buying more with them. I will continue to buy on Coinbase Pro and then transfer to Coinbase for safe keeping.

I am getting 6% with Algorand (ALGO) and a 5% reward with Cosmos (ATOM). I think I can get rewards with all of my assets if I am willing to stake them. I don't know how so I'll leave them alone. ALGO and ATOM stake automatically so I'm cool with that. Rewards (interest) are paid daily.

When my son comes home on leave and sets me up with a new computer, perhaps I'll get him to set up the rest of my holdings for staking puroposes since I am not interested in using my cryptocurrency for purchases. I'll leave my PYPL account for that if the need arises.

Harper -- re: Voyager ... I just hold the stock.

I buy my crypto's on BlockFi.

But I could see switching to Voyager. But, I'm only interested in buying BTC and ETH at this time.

@maybenot ... You might want to consider LTC as well.

When it comes to Litecoin, there are lots of exciting things going on here. Litecoin is serving as an alternative medium of exchange to Bitcoin. Cheaper & faster transactions means more merchant adoption for general crypto payments. Along with Bitcoin & Ethereum, Litecoin can now be used by US PayPal users to pay transactions.

Then you also have to consider the fact that Grayscale has been picking up LTC like crazy for their Grayscale trust. As you know, these are the investment trusts that give institutions exposure to the cryptocurrencies in a regulated package.

There are of course a lot of other things going with the project. However, it does seem as if LTC price action is organic and makes sense fundamentally.

This may explain why LTC has been on fire year to date.
