Title: Telltale signs you may be falling for a pozni Post by: TooDumbForBitcoin on October 27, 2015, 06:32:36 PM A new get-rich-quick offer shows up on bitcointalk. Is it a pozni? Here are some telltale signs:
1. The tokens being invested are not accepted at The Dollar Store, IHOP, or Bass Pro Shops. 2. Transactions cannot be confirmed in Internet Explorer or at AOL. 3. The currency is not mentioned by the journalists at CoinDesk. 4. 4Chan refers to all investors in the scheme as "milkbag toting 1337 slaves". 5. NY FINCEN refuses to regulate it.

Title: Re: Telltale signs you may be falling for a pozni Post by: TooDumbForBitcoin on October 28, 2015, 11:08:51 PM A pozni is a cryptocurrency scheme possibly intended to transfer value from the unwashed to the perpetrator by any number of ways - theft, rigged gaming, overvaluing a sale, etc.
Unlike a ponzi scheme, which is operated by a central controller to lure new investments to pay portions of impossibly high promised returns to old investors, a pozni is any other suspected cryptocurrency scam that is too hard to understand, describe, and/or summarize. Don't understand the mechanics of a new cryptocurrency distribution? It's a pozni. Unscrupulous devs victimizing "innocent" dreamers with vaporcoin? It's a pozni. Some people get rich by honest, intelligent investing/development/luck, while other people don't due to bad timing, poor decisions, sloth? It's a pozni. |
