this is another ponzi scheme that promise a big and incredible return for an investment.
but it's just a way to scam money from people, if you think it's really impossible earn 0,30 btc in a couple of days from just 1 btc!
Believe me, we know that these promise are just fake, but a lot of people every day trust these site even if we discuss here or on another public board their fake activities!

As far as I'm aware... "Airbitz" is a legit website and wallet: https://airbitz.co/bitcoin-wallet/ Although, apparently it rebranded to "Edge" back in Oct/Nov 2017 (https://airbitz.co/go/airbitz-now-edge/).

I assume that the play here is to get you to visit a "fake" airbitz website... and either download some malware or get you to deposit to a fake wallet offering ridiculous ROI and then they steal your coins.
