Bitcoin Forum

I made this video to turn people away from Gladiacoin, but I'm hoping that it also makes people think twice they hear an offer that is too good to be true. Please pass this on to any friends/family that might be looking at this huge Ponzi.

Ben Perrin!

Ben's videos are great for beginners and veterans alike.

He deserves much more fan fare than a single "newbie" post about one video. Don't get me wrong the video you have posted here is great and should help people (especially beginners) think twice about investing in the next "hot alt coin".

But your entire catalog is worth watching. So here's a link to Ben's channel on Steemit: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@benperrin117/the-btc-sessions-bitcoin-for-beginners (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@benperrin117/the-btc-sessions-bitcoin-for-beginners)

Welcome to this forum Ben!

This is s good idea. We should also let new users know of altcoin Devs who run off after they dump and abandon the coin. There are so devs who just abandon coins. That is not a scam though. I also hope many new used don't fall for those flat out bitcoins scams that allow you to "invest" to earn x% every day. I don't think people fall for Bitcoin doublers anymore thank goodness.

Very decent of you. To show people that this is scam, problem is there are so many scams out there, if you wanted to create video about all of them your life is too short sadly :/.
Mining scams, exchange scams, you name it.

The reason he made the video about Gladiacoin is because it's a service that acts as a legitimate operation, and it's not obvious to many people that it is, in fact, a huge ponzi. The other scams that you see around are easily identifiable as scams, and I do believe that if you are greedy or naive enough to invest in those sites, then you kind of deserve to lose your money. Gladiacoin, however, is a huge ponzu that has really taken off and will inevitably disappear one day. It's clearly still gaining a huge amount of momentum, so there is probably still life left in the scam, and I applaud Ben for making this video. It could literally help people save their money.

I would normally take the stance that you have taken in asking why make a video about this when there are clearly many other scams around, but Gladiacoin has been popping up EVERYWHERE.

Thanks for this, Ben! Welcome to bctalk!

thank you for this ben. i followed you in youtube. hopefully you also make video for legit sites. thanks

That's the main thing with scams, if it sounds too good to be true then it is probably a scam of some sort. I'd suggest, and I always do, to every newbie to first ask here if they're planing on investing somewhere like cloud mining or some investment website.

For all newbies out there, if u read this don't believe in any hyip mine clouding except one who has history like hashflare and genesis-m. Because they will likely scam you around 3 weeks. Better accumulate ur btc and trading or gambling if u want.
