BlockFi increasing their rates! ... no, not really. More lies.

Rate changes for September 1, 2021

In order to maintain great rates for the maximum number of clients, Tier 1 rates will be increasing for all cryptocurrencies while Tier 2 and Tier 3 rates will be decreasing. By our estimates, 75% of clients will see an increase in their APY, while 25% will experience a decrease.

BTC

4 months ago BTC apy was 6% for a full coin, then 5% for .5, then 4.5 for .25. All this while other players in the space have kept their ~6% rate while increasing the backing for it.

It's the same trend for the other coins, but I'd prefer to have the post stick around than deal with mods.
