In case you're wondering, here's how the rate is computed:
Composite rate =
I bought $10k in denominations of 2,3, 5 so if I want to cash out I can do it in chunks instead of having to cash out $10k.: Better than any CD or bank rate if you want to stay in cash.

Then in addition, you can select up to $5K of a tax refund per return (not per person) to buy I-Bonds.
Good luck on getting the money back out if you need it.
One hundred trillion dollars—that's 100,000,000,000,000—is the largest denomination of currency ever issued. In Zimbabwe, from 2007 to 2008, the local legal tender lost more than 99.9 percent of its value (Hanke 2008).
I am looking at historical rates over the past 5 years. The average seems to be around 2.5% a year, which isn't horrible if you are over 65 and need to park your money somewhere super safe.
Then again if you invested in Amazon 5 years ago, your investment would be worth 400% more, Walmart 200%, Bitcoin 300%.
If you are under 50, you are literally throwing money away investing in treasuries because of the time value of money. You aren't going to be wealthy turning $700 a year on $10,000.
If you believe the stock market is going to crash (it could), you should be keeping your money available, so you can buy stocks at the bottom.

Voyager offering 9% on USD coin and anchor protocol offering 20% on UST albeit a bit harder because you have to learn to convert dollars to UST using a middle man. Think there's a direct conversion defi launching soon
