What is the higher priority for poor/lower class people, feed their family today or invest for tomorrow? Tomorrow never comes if you don’t take care of today today.

I am building an algorithm that gives monthly consistent returns.My application is not for getting rich quickly,is for monthly usage.

FOR example I invest $100 in app and it gives at least 8 to 9 dollars returns per month it is good for students or house wife.

That's almost monthly 10% (annual 150% if you don't extract the money). That's a lot.

One possibility is that you are planning an investment that is very risky. If you are lucky, it will be good for a while but sooner or later it will explode and a lot of people will lose their money and hate you.

Another possibility is that you are planning something that is equivalent to a Ponzi scheme without realizing it. If you are unlucky, it will be good for a while but sooner or later it will explode and a lot of people will lose their money and hate you and you will go to jail.

I agree. The main problem is that in spite of the good intentions, a project like this will attract a lot of scammers, and people will lose their savings faster.
