Developments around Bitcoin / Cryptotrader (May 2022)

New milestone: Cryptotrader.online has reached more than 170,000 trades.

The Cryptotrader.online service started on 01-02-2017 and is still growing. Recently, Cryptotrader.online reached another milestone of 170,000 trades. To get a good understanding of the trader’s actual performance, we automatically calculate the monthly return for each user. Based on these figures, we can calculate the average monthly return of the site which is now around 2%. This means that the extrapolated compound annual yield is 26%. That is a lot higher than the 0% that you now get at banks.

Referral Program

Unfortunately, as you may know, there are many “Crypto Services” on the internet that make their money by scamming people. That is why we decided to distinguish Cryptotrader.online as a reliable service by only growing on the basis of word of mouth from users who have been satisfied customers for years.

With the launch of the Referral Program we offer you the opportunity to easily invite friends and family and get them started. As a reward for this work you will earn free bonus credits in your own account.
