Yeah they still participate in hyip simply because they believe they can make huge profit on their investment within a very short period of time,well hyip can be very profitable but the risk is very huge,for someone to succeed in hyip then need to understand that they are exposing their investment to a very huge risk which would make them loose all their investment so that is why i will always advice anyone to stay away from hyip because the dangers in hyip outweighs his rewards and besides most hyip programs are just plain ponzi schemes
