@steps_investing congrats. Just wanted to clarify - is the app paying us $1 in crypto investments per 1000 steps, or is it our own money we invest. Trying to understand what till motivate people if they are investing their savings only and not gaining anything from the app. Apps like SSG give credits and freebies to people who achieve step goals, so wanted to understand what's your model. Anyway - all the best!
@msnkarthik Thank you for the comment. We're an auto-investment app where you invest your own money, and occasionally, we offer rewards. While similar to other auto-investment apps like Acorns and Stash, our main difference is that you need to be physically active to make an investment. This approach not only helps you stay engaged with your finances but also encourages you to maintain your fitness.
@steps_investing Very interesting and creative idea 👏🏻 Two questions. 1. Where do you get the data? (on iPhone from the health app I guess?) 2. Walking and investing is probably a lot of fun in a bull market. What happens in a bear market, how do you handle this situation in the UI, because I could imagine this could become an emotional problem when people walk, invest but their portfolio goes down.
Congrats on the launch 🚀
@crebuh Thank you, Christofer. Great questions.
1. We get your step data from HealthKit on iOS and Health Connect on Android devices.
2. We offer an option to simply save your money instead of purchasing cryptocurrency or stocks, allowing you to switch if the market is bearish. Currently, it doesn’t offer any interest, but we’re working on adding a competitive interest rate for the savings feature.
It’s so hard to create a memorable logo for a new venture. You’ve pinned in! Great logo!
StepsInvesting was born from our desire to make it easier for everyone to focus on both health and financial growth. We believe small, consistent steps can lead to significant, long-term benefits. We can't wait to hear your feedback and continue improving together!
I have a friend who, for the last 2 years, has been taking daily 10k step walks. Just imagine how sad he’s going to be when he realizes how much money he didn’t get haha
@anastasiia_stepko That’s a great point! Maybe he’ll start now and make up for lost time! 😄 It’s never too late to improve both health and finances.
This is such a cool idea! I love how StepsInvesting merges fitness with investing—talk about a win-win! Can’t wait to give it a go and see how my daily steps translate into investment growth. Plus, picking from cryptocurrencies sounds super fun! Keep up the awesome work, @steps_investing! Looking forward to those traditional stocks and ETFs too!
@blankwebdev Thank you for your support! We believe that taking care of our health is just as important as managing our finances, and we're excited to see how our app can help with both. Once you try it out, we'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks again and stay tuned for more updates!
@mark_curz All our data is encrypted using AES-256, and all network traffic to our database is protected by TLS. This ensures that your investment data is secure and well-protected.
How do you ensure the accuracy of your investment projections? Congrats! product looks impressive.
It offers a fresh approach to financial planning. The simplicity of their investment strategies is a big plus!
@anthony_adams_ Thank you! We’re thrilled that you appreciate the fresh approach and simplicity of our investment strategies.
@aden_will Thank you, Aden. Dollar-cost averaging is a low-risk method that helps manage market volatility. By maintaining a consistent daily walking routine, you'll effectively achieve dollar-cost averaging in your investments over time, regardless of daily step variations. We’re also planning to introduce features such as savings with competitive interest rates to use during bearish markets, as well as portfolio rebalancing.
Regarding a trial option, our app is completely free to use. You can turn off the auto-investing feature and simply track your steps and estimated investment amounts.
Great platform for beginners. Would love to see more advanced investment options for experienced users.
@alan_robert Thank you for the feedback! That’s a great point. We’ll definitely be adding more advanced investment options and analytics to cater to both experienced investors and avid runners.
Hey Tuu Ba,
This is a fantastic concept! The idea of blending fitness with finance is both unique and practical.
I'm curious, how do you ensure the security of the investment transactions linked to daily steps?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Thank you for your support and for asking such an important question! We prioritize the security of your investment transactions. We don’t access or save any bank information and use the same tokenization service for payment processing as companies like Coinbase and Robinhood, so your bank info is secure. For cryptocurrencies, we store 85% of assets in multisig cold wallets to ensure their safety. Additionally, we’re partnering with a reputable, regulated investment firm to offer stocks and ETFs. Thanks again and stay tuned for more updates!
@steps_investing oh cool! didn't connect that you were acting as broker here. i imagine pfof is a rev opportunity too then...
I love how StepsInvesting turns daily steps into investment opportunities—such a unique and motivating way to stay active while growing your wealth. I'm curious about the integration with traditional stocks and ETFs you mentioned. Will users be able to adjust their investment rate based on different asset classes or is it a flat rate across the board?
Hey @steps_investing
StepsInvesting is a cool idea! It turns walking into investing. You decide how much money to invest for every 1,000 steps you take. So, the more you walk, the more you save. It's like getting paid to be healthy. Fun and smart!
