Title: Biggest Scam & Duds of 2018
Post by: KimJungUn on December 22, 2017, 05:13:01 PM
You can see a lot of pumping on this forum, while following peoples post history all they do is post about 1 coin in threads that have nothing to do with the topic being discussed.  A good sign that the coin is backed by nothing other than users trying to manipulate people to pump cash into a blackhole.  When you look into the coin, you see that it's trash.

Lets hear what everyone thinks will get the title for The Biggest Scam and Dud Coin of 2018


A thoughtful discussion please, not just 1 worded answers.  Back up your opinion.

It's gotta be ICOs. Some still alive even now but huge live ripoffs from unsuspecting buyers, eg have a look at Confido's story.

With solid teams however, like Arcblock, you cant go wrong. Industry-known advisors, certified devs and great plan.

I would like to nominate PACcoin.
Insane volume on 05.01.18, and the volume is still unreasonable high for a shit coin like this.
The market cap just got cut in half in under 10 minutes.
I bet the pump groups made good profit of this, RIP the rest.

i find some of the posts popping up on this forum a bit concerning.

there are a lot of really new users, with no posts that have copy/paste information on coins.

for example, one thing that concerns me is the number of Spectre users copy pasting their image and information with proper formatting.

feels like it is being artificially pumped by fake users.

maybe its not right, but maybe...

it might be the year of pumps and shill accounts. granted, if they have shilled it to death, it is working, and might be part of a marketing plan to make an otherwise boring and unnoticed coin, become noticed.

 also, that being said, i never really post here, i have maybe 2 posts, im kind newly registered, but i was reading for a very long time before registration. as i dont have a huge amount to contribute.

You mean DADI the ICO which has nothing to do with Raiblocks. in which the raiblocks dev has publicly said this?
