I'm not sure if this is outright scamming or just very unethical and shady, so i wanted the community to have a look at it:


1) HitBTC 1 month paid listings --> specially made for pump and dumps?

2) HitBTC sends the same offer to all coin/token devs who ask for a listing.  I confirmed with 3 coin/tokens devs so far. Everyone got the same offer.

3) The 1 month listing is a obvious play at making money from pump and dumps. Someone makes a token, pays for listing. Price goes up and dumps it all in one month.

Evidence:

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Well it's definitely shady since it's not directed to anyone in the public but rather just devs that are privately contacted can get this deal. It's obvious that the only reason why a dev would want to list their coin for one month only for a fee at a guaranteed level would be pump and dumps.

The fact that anyone would even be willing to pay this means that their project has absolutely no interest.

HitBTC is directly targeting those people, basically encouraging scammers.

Greedy scammers can deal with greedy hitbtc devs and make success; This is a real foolish market!! Indeed am surprised reading this about hitbtc listings. I considered it as a worthy trusted third part since 2014 despite all the faced issues!! Now users should think twice before trading a new listed coin there as noted that HitBtc is known by its early integration of new coins into its market. This post may ruin their reputation for ever.
