🌟 What if the best investment strategy wasn’t about moving faster, but about staying still?

Woody Tasch, the founder of the Slow Money movement, brought this idea into finance.

🌟 His core argument is that fast money disconnects investors from where their capital goes. That disconnect reduces awareness and undermines long-term wealth building.

Research proves it. Studies by Morningstar, DALBAR, and Friesen & Sapp consistently show that a “set-and-forget” approach tends to outperform attempts to “time” the market. This happens because most investors misjudge entry and exit points, often acting on emotions, market pressure, and overly optimistic expectations.

🌟 In our latest article, we break down what the Slow Money approach means, where it comes from, and how it stands in contrast to FOMO-driven investing. We also explore how P2P lending fits into this framework.

Play the Maclear World Cup 🏆

Your chance to turn predictions into rewards.

We’ve designed this campaign in two parallel tracks, so you can maximize both your reach and your returns.

🌟 First, bring your creativity into the playoffs.

Share your match predictions in a creative post on X or LinkedIn, include the flag of your chosen team, tag Maclear, and use #MaclearWorldCup. Send your post link along with performance stats to our support team before the matches begin.

If your prediction is correct, you compete for the top spot based on total engagement — reactions, comments, and reposts.

🌟 Prizes:

Quarter-finals: 4 winners × €250
Send your predictions by July 8. Winners will be announced on July 11.

Semi-finals: 2 winners × €500
Send your predictions from July 9 to July 13. Winners will be announced on July 15.

Final: 1 winner × €1,000
Send your predictions from July 14 to July 18. Winners will be announced on July 19.

🌟 Second, make daily predictions directly on the platform and boost your returns.

Each correct prediction moves you closer to bonuses, vouchers, and exclusive investment opportunities.

🌟 What you unlock:

1 correct prediction: 1% voucher
2 correct predictions: 1% voucher
3 correct predictions: 2% voucher
5 correct predictions: €100 voucher
10 correct predictions: access to a closed high-yield project

You’ll also receive €10 for your first participation.

Predictions open daily at 00:00 on match days, and your results accumulate throughout the campaign. To join, make sure your account is fully verified (KYC + PoA) and you’ve made at least one deposit.

🌟 July Boost — for extra yield this summer season

We’re introducing a temporary premium tier for investors who are ready to scale.

🌟 Here’s the offer:

Invest €27,000 or more in Primary Market between July 1 and July 31 and receive an additional +1.5% on all investments made during the month.

💡Example:

05.07 — €10,000
12.07 — €7,000
24.07 — €10,000

Total: €27,000. All three investments receive an additional +1.5% annual yield.

Your actual return depends on the project’s annual yield as well as your loyalty level.

🌟 By increasing your active portfolio, you also move closer to the next loyalty tier, meaning that you can benefit beyond July:

• Beta Plus — +2% added to each project’s base interest rate
• Alpha — +2,5% added
• Alpha Plus — +3% added

Once unlocked, these tiers stay with you.

🌟 Important:

Primary Market only.

The €27,000 threshold includes all investments made in July, such as new deposits and reinvested funds from completed projects. This campaign doesn't include investments made before July 1 and after July 31.

July is your opportunity to step into a higher class of returns — both now and going forward. Don’t miss out!

🌟 Forewarned is forearmed: protecting your money starts with the basics

Scam activity has spiked significantly over the past month. Fraudsters are creating fake Telegram chats, impersonating not just Maclear support but our investors too, and sending phishing emails.

🌟 Please stay alert, even when a message looks like it's coming from someone you trust.

If something feels off, trust that instinct. Double-check before you act.

🌟 Here's a quick reminder on how spot real Maclear & 8lends support:

1. Stick to official websites

• maclear.ch
• 8lends.io
• courses.maclear.ch (our education platform)

Never trust links from DMs, forums, or random Telegram groups — always navigate to us directly.

2. Access Telegram only through our website

Use the Telegram buttons on maclear.ch or 8lends.io to reach our official chat and channel. Don't search "Maclear" or "8lends" inside Telegram itself — scammers clone our name and logo to create convincing fakes.

3. Verify support specialists by name (and characters used)

Maclear:
@john_maclear
@thomas_maclear
@wenzel_maclear

8lends:
@daniel_8lends
@ceviz1389
@henry_8lends
@andre_8lends
@Oliver_8lends

Not on this list? Not our support. Simple as that.

4. We will never ask for your security details

Passwords, seed phrases, private keys, verification codes — if anyone requests these, block them immediately. Our team never reaches out unprompted.

When in doubt, verify in our official chat.

🌟 Your money is worth the extra thirty seconds it takes to double-check.
