I heard that you can download it not easy for free.

I do agree with this statement but bitconnect used the traditional ponzi system while this one use a new mechanism that will fool the people who have activated the level 2 or 3 to get the minereum coin.
This coin is a crap coin.

I came across this token while watching one of the local youtube creators on our country. The video they made is sponsored by UPStake Token, after checking and reviewing the site I find some red flags about it.
Site: https://upstake.com/
Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4433672.0
Bounty: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4441123.0

I Immediately check their site and find these features of the Token:
What is UPstake?
"UpStake tokens (UPS) are designed to increase in value over time."; from that I am already in doubt about the coin because they fail to acknowledge the law of supply and demand.
Key features:
Limited Circulation
Value increases hourly
Proof of Burn
Anti exchange manipulation

Hoping to get more info, I search on Coinmarketcap and WorldCoinIndex to know it's trading volume but the coin is not listed.

Checking User interface menu: I'll just talk about Exchange and Edge sections because that is the main concern of this thread.
Exchange - Site exchange; which is the only exchange you can trade the UPStake token.
*Here's interesting, as a result of disregarding supply and demand, you can see that there is currently 0 buy and 21 sell order. If this continue you'll find your UPStake funds stuck on the platform without a chance of converting it to Bitcoin thus making you losing money.
NOTE that the trading resets every hour so you either need to waste your time every hour just to put your Sell order at the top or accept the fact that your money is gone.


*Calendar view of UPStake value


Edge - UpStake Edge is another feature of UPStake which is a crypto investment that allows you to make passive profits through micro networking.

https://youtu.be/kgnbwt2FOyg?t=10 - After watching the video; I know that's Ponzi.
The one at the top will benefit the most and latecomers will be the one at high risk.
*UPStake Edge membership

It is like one of those 10%,20%,30% growth whenever you make referrals on your downline. 'Active Silver Edges' is the number of team you have below you.




Some of our local youtube creators with a huge number of audiences is being sponsored by this token. There is a chance that someone may fall into it because creators are influential enough with their fanbase.

UPStake thread:

*I can share the account I used on UPStake if you want to see it's interface inside or is it okay to make the account public?

“Mr. Firano in connection with his operation of Bitgrail, reported to the Bankruptcy Court that between February 2nd and February 5th, 2018 — days before Firano would make his public announcement about the 17 million NANO loss — Mr. Firano had deposited a total of 230 Bitcoin (approximately $ 1.8 million) in a personal account on a BTC-EUR cryptocurrency exchange called The Rock Trading.”

The Court found that in July 2017, 2.5 million NANO were lost by the exchange. The Court noted that Mr. Firano had been aware of these unauthorized withdrawals almost immediately after they occurredand found that Mr. Firano had reported on Twitter in late July 2017 that he had blacklisted accounts connected to the unauthorized transfers.

The Court reported that three months later, in October 2018, another 7.5 million NANO had been improperly removed from the exchange. Again, Mr. Firano took no meaningful action.
