Hey guys I have seen a fair few people selling Bitcoin max accounts that have apparently 60btc in them for 25 btc and all of that.
Was wondering what is bitcoin max and why are these people just giving money away?

Thanks.

It was a pass thru to an investment. That tier 1 investment has since default and has yet to pay out the bitcoins to the users. That is why they are so cheap.

They are not giving any money away.

BitcoinMax was just one of those ponzi-systems were people deposited money to earn interest.
Now it's closed and people can't get their deposited money back, so they try to find someone stupid enough to buy their accounts.
If you are one of those stupid enough, you can buy an "account worth 60BTC" for only 25BTC,
but you'd probably just lose those 25BTC and never get the 60BTC.

Your choice.  Wink

Such harsh words calling people "stupid."  Many of those people have been involved in this community a lot longer than you have.  It was a gamble, however likely it might have been.  However merve10495, I would definitely stay away from this as it's looking more and more likely that none of that money will ever come back.

I'm not calling those that "invested" stupid, they probably knew about the risk anyway.
But what would you call someone who now buys any of those "closed BitcoinMax" accounts?

i'd call them "people who already know about the risk anyway".

Well, ask you can see by the OP, not everyone knows about the risk, some people think it's "giving away free money"

Sometimes logical sense is required, no offense intended.

I'd call them Newbies Smiley That is why I am posting this in the 'Newbie' section.
Thank you all for the quick and informative replies.
I wasn't going to purchase one but I had seen a lot of them and was not sure. Thank you guys very much for clearing this up.
