Well he must be fucking blind then, because this campaign is a joke for quality.
It directly contributes to a lot of the worst spam and shit posting I have seen to this forum.


Fuck off.

And if it continues to rise after $295? What would your 'careful study' have you do at say, $320?

Only about 170 years.... 

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companies_House

"In February 2008, The Times and Computer Weekly broke a story that almost 4,000 of the names on the Companies House register of directors were on international watchlists of alleged fraudsters, money launderers, terror financiers and corrupt officials."

The UK has some sort of respectability among uneducated investors as a place of integrity. People who know better realise this is complete nonsense. Companies House specifically state that it is not their remit to investigate information given to them when a company is registered.
 

Explain for me what a legitimate hyip is, please... (here's a clue: neither of that the examples you give are.)

What is that supposed to mean?

Why don't you try http://www.rapidpaydayloan.net/ ?

So, this guy usually sells something or things for $825, but he decides to accept 3BTC instead of the dollars, even though he "doesn't trust the internet", even though he's "trusted the internet" enough to set up a wallet to receive the coins.
So, he accepts 3BTC and then is willing to sell them for $166.66 each, a loss of $325....
 

So you're broke.
So what I would do would be to go on a Bitcoin forum with a bullshit story to see if you can con somebody into fronting you some money to buy these amazingly cheap BTC from established businesses that take Bitcoin as payment but don't trust the internet.
Wait, you already did that....
GTFO.

Seven pages of advice about "Best Investment" and that's your conclusion.
 

It's not quite the same really.
"Investors and Games" is mainly people in the know who realise that it's an unsustainable gamble, but reckon they can win by out thinking the others (and hoping that the admin isn't just going to run off as soon as he has a few coins).

MMM and the other global stuff are different, they exploit unsophisticated and unaware people with their relentless lies and promises. Easy meat in a world where everybody is told they are nothing unless they're rich.
I'm not making a big deal about "morals" and "ethics", just to my sense of values it's a shit way to make money.

But they are not taking advantage of the company, they are taking advantage of other people who pay in later because of ignorance and naivety.
The money you or anyone else makes out of a ponzi comes directly from another person, less some which goes to the admin scammer.

If you prize money to that extent, then carry on, but you're part of the problem.
It's a shit way to make money imo, do something creative instead of being a parasite.

Yeah looks like anybody and everybody mate, spammers, bots, the lot.
Post any old shit and get paid for it.

 

You got it.
And also make the likelihood of anti BTC legislation more likely in the wreckage when they fail.

Maybe, but only in a limited pump and dump scenario.
Rookie 'investors' were promised a price magnitudes above what is currently trading (~0.00002 BTC on Bittrex) and that will sows the seeds of doubt.

It's like ponzis, if the poker type charade is played out amongst people in the know who are gambling and aware of the risks, there is limited damage.
With the massive MLM industry attached and recruiting everywhere, see OneCoin, ClubCoin, etc. then the numbers can be huge and the damage far more widespread to the crypto zone rep in general.

For me, it is difficult to visualize legitimate cloudmining or small scale real mining being sufficiently profitable to outweigh the risks at any time in the future.
Now that large operations are established, exploiting economy of scale, bulk cheap power deals and volume discounts on hardware, the best that can be hoped for is a traditional type investment in a large company which would pay a dividend similar to big industrial fiat companies.
Which is not without its risks either...

Just in case you think my "BUYBUYBUY!" was serious, it wasn't, it was sarc.

GCR isn't your "normal" pump and dump shit coin played with by a few insiders, it's part of a new breed which is being adopted for exploitation by the huge MLM industry, to scam new 'investors' who are ignorant about crypto and is, imo, more dangerous to the goal of wider trust in and adoption of alternatives to fiat because of that.

There was a wave of this earlier in the year, after Mavrodi's Magic Money started crediting "Mavro Extra" to mugs who posted on social media etc.
I think we nuked about 50 of them.

The forum will do nothing, in accordance with its libertarian Caveat Emptor policy.
It's up to us as individuals, if we feel the need, to try and push back at this exploitative scam.
I'm doing what I can in various ways, get out there, don't just sit in here and moan about it, have some fun!
Fuck up a scammer today.

 

BUYBUYBUY!!!!

 

my s/t edit

Does this happen very often?
When I read a comment from a new user that piques my interest, I look at their profile to see their posting history, quite innocently.
To think I might then be included on a "stalkers" list and, should anything happen in the future, be on a shortlist of suspects, makes me uneasy.
Surely anyone contemplating "cloning" you would be sufficiently motivated to cover their tracks by the simple expedient of using a throwaway alt for research.

An emphatic 'no' from me. (Does that put me on a 'potential suspects' list?)

PS
I don't disagree about profiles being made unavailable to non signed in browsers, slighly contradictory though that may sound.  

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that it was sold or passed on and is being paid for bit by bit, as it were?
