      They stated they had vetted partners which is Genesis. They should never have used the plural form and simply kept it as vetted a "partner" because using the word "partners" made it seem that Gemini had spread out their yield program across multiple external parties. This was either deliberate to make it seem bigger than it is or simply a mistake.

      This video is about bad venture capitalists and lenders than it is the validity of crypto.
      FTX offered an 8% APR account. Gemini Earn offered about the same. Many people figured that keeping money into a simple savings account sounded like a safe investment.
      Apple and Paypal both offer a savings account, both around 4.3%. Many people already use them instead of a tradition bank, as banks have a low or even negative APR.
      Hypothetically, Apple or PayPay or whomever, can one day use shaddy investors to boost the APR to a high 8-12% to attract customers.
      If PayPal offered a 12% APR savings account, that wouldn't be tempting? I'm not accusing that you'll join that, but you could imagine a lot of people would.

      No. Crypto is intrinsically a scam since the whole "blockchain" idea is dependent on storing all transaction data in perpetuity. Imagine the days when credit card transactions involved taking a card impression with carbon paper and blacklisting of lost or stolen cards was achieved through monthly distribution of printed lists of card numbers. Now imagine that cards never expire and can never be removed from the list, so that instead of replacing the previous month's book with the current month's book, every book has to be retained by every merchant forever. This is how the blockchain works, except it's the miners who have to store every transaction for the entire duration of the thousand year cryptoreich. (Note that the original vision for Bitcoin called for every user to be a miner.) This obviously cannot work in anything other than the short term.

    Remember, investment comes with risk. When you lend out money, there's the risk you won't get it back, and that's what the interest rate compensates you for. When you buy shares in a company, there's the risk the company will start making less money and their stock price will go down as a result. They might even go bankrupt, and then you lose all the money you put in. (Unless the company gets enough money from selling all of its assets to pay all its debts and has some left over for shareholders, and even then you'll lose most of your money.)
    You're not entitled to compensation just because a known risk came to play out. Your stock broker won't compensate you if a stock you buy falls in value, just like how Gemini won't compensate you if the person you lend to fails to pay you back.
    Edit: Although, if you buy a certain company because your stock broker lies about its financials, they could be liable. Just like how Gemini could be liable because they said their loans were overcollateralised when they really weren't.

      Why put all this work into fixing someone else's idea when you can just start your own.
