Hey Hunters and Makers! We’re super excited to introduce you to StepsInvesting! 🎉 StepsInvesting is an app that simultaneously improves two crucial aspects of our lives: health and wealth. Just walk and stay active—your daily steps will drive your investments. How It Works: 1. Set Your Investment Rate: Choose how much you want to invest per 1,000 steps—like $1 for every 1,000 steps. 2. Create Your Portfolio: Pick from the top 20 cryptocurrencies to build your investment portfolio. We’re also adding traditional stocks and ETFs soon. 3. Invest as You Move: The more you walk, the more you invest. For example, if you walk 10,000 steps in a day and set $1 per 1,000 steps, $10 will go into your investments. Simple as that! Balancing health and wealth can be challenging. Typically, we use one app for tracking fitness and another for investments, making it easy to lose track of both. StepsInvesting merges them into one cool app, so you never forget to focus on either and can improve them simultaneously. We’d love for you to give StepsInvesting a try and share your thoughts. Your feedback will help us make the app even better. Let’s take steps toward a healthier, wealthier future together!

@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.

That's a fun idea.

@jsteneros Thank you! We’re glad you think so. We’re excited to bring a fun and innovative approach to both fitness and investing.

@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.

Congrats on the launch! I do like this idea. It's a cool way to connect your physical activity to saving. It does seem like a perverse incentive, though, in so far as investing your own money disincentivizes walking as it reduces your short-term spendable cash. Are the investments only in crypto? That would be the most difficult part for me. What countries do you support?

@jack_michalak Thank you for your insights! Currently, we’re available in the US, with plans to expand to Canada and the EU later this year. It’s true that investments can reduce immediate cash flow, but they offer significant long-term benefits, especially with consistent use. We’re also working on adding stocks and ETFs to broaden our investment options beyond cryptocurrencies.
Jack Michalak
@steps_investing I agree 100%, I just think you'll have to be careful to make sure it's phrased in the right way to avoid it looking like a cost. Psychology can be weird sometimes. Wishing you all the best!

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!

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!
Tuu Ba

@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!

Launching soon!
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!

Thrilled to see your innovative auto-investing platform hit the market! It's a brilliant concept, seamlessly integrating health and finance. The ease of setting a pace and choosing investments is commendable. I wonder if steps taken while sleepwalking will be counted.

@connor_wood1 Thank you for your support! We’re excited to integrate health and finance in such an innovative way. As for sleepwalking, unfortunately, steps taken while sleepwalking won’t be counted—our system tracks active steps only. Though it does sound very interesting!

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

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!

It makes investing approachable. How does the platform handle market volatility and risk management? Is there any free trial option?
Tuu Ba
Maker
@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.

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?
