Title: Growbitco, grow-btc, 100x btc -- are all SCAMS ?
Post by: jtipt on April 03, 2015, 01:29:16 PM
http://growbitco.in/   
this website and few others are quite intimidating, pay 0.01 and get 1 BTC in 24 hours. Thats common in all the websites, and they have transactions to prove it which look pretty much legit.
Are they scams ?

Absolutely these kind of sites are precisely designed to lure you in and give money, while they'll payout occasionally if they start getting big enough transactions they'll run off eventually, they always do, the ones that don't scam are simply waiting for a big score to come along, just depends on how ambitious they're feeling.

Sad to say it, but it's easier to operate a scam in the Bitcoin world than it is a legitimate business because people are greedy and stupid, mostly stupid.

Yes.

They're ponzis or outright frauds so they depend on fresh blood constantly pouring in to pay out anything (that's if they pay out anything at all).

If you want to get more coins without spending money then look into signature campaigns, selling old stuff you have on here or offering a service. Don't bother with faucets either. Life is too short.

That's a big fat no.

Maybe in the future there'll be more legit options to invest bitcoin in companies, proper ones. Don't go anywhere near bitcoin stocks or securities as they are now let alone gambling or ponzies or weird 'investment' schemes.

Giving your bitcoins to others to safely grow them is a few years away yet, if ever. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.

Without risk? No, I don't think there is way to multiple money without risk, even going to work is a risk - you can have an accident, you can damage some equipment etc.
Investing in casino is safer than ponzi, but earnings are much, much lower.
And as for ponzis, new ponzis appear everyday in Economy > Marketplace > Gambling > Investor-based games (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=207.0) subforum, if you choose right one and invest early you can make some money, but every ponzi will collapse someday and some ponzis are outright scams.

I have some tips for that kind of site:
- Invest some BTCTC but not too much
- If you lucky, they will pay you
- After that, don't invest again :D
