Seen these videos myself when I have done searches on YouTube and they are really annoying especially when the majority of videos are from this guy. He is either a kid in his bedroom with nothing better to do or just a lonely guy with no life trying to scam people fro easy cash, either way he is not worth the time of day.
I think he is just someone trying to spread FUD. Nothing more then a troll. It would be very well possible that he somehow has a "short" position on bitcoin, but I would doubt even this.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

This kid knows how to rank his videos. He must have use fake views and likes to make his videos on top. If we flag his videos he will only create another one with slight change. He may also using automatic video uploader and video spinner.
To counter this videos we should rank our own bitcoin videos and outrank his bs videos.

Ranking videos costs money. If you aren't making profits from it, you'll lose money. If you go into this endeavor looking to actually make a difference, you'll likely lose more money attempting to prevent these scams than the scammers actually make from the people they scam. Nobody is losing big money here. Newbies will become more educated after wasting their time on this and either continue onwards and become an experienced user or drop out. Nothing wrong with that.

Congratulations guys. With enough of our crowd sourced flagging these "bitcoin generator" scam videos on youtube have almost completely been stopped. It appears for the last couple months the scammer/s was discouraged and stopped setting up fake accounts.

Yes, we need to still hunt them down and flag when we see them , but for the last couple months I see practically none being uploaded where a couple months ago we say 10-20 videos a day.

There's always greedy fools who just want to get rich quick. They're always blinded by their own greed and unfortunately fall victim to it, but this is usually the only way they'll learn. Smart people rarely get scammed to be honest.
Yep unless its something like keep the money on an exchange Then get scammed because the exchange runs with the money ... Other wise good most times
