So I went to a onecoin meetup.

Yes i know, It was advertised as an ICO group. (Probably  to avoid tripping fca alerts ) So I expected groups who were developing  coin/tokens launching or had launched ico or were just generally interested.

Instead I got onecoin (I think I put them off when my answer to what else do we know who is behind it Was etherum foundation in zig,switzerland. )  I was avoided while they worked the room.

What I can't figure out though is how they are able to troy out so many merchants who are willing to take payment in onecoin given how it is worthless. Sure I can figure 50/50 just raise your prices by 50% then take half onecoin and half fiat. But 100% onecoin. That makes no sense unless there is value to the coin (which there is not) so do they hire actors or something? Or do they pay merchants at a different rate? Or is there some other trick.

Are they really? This part sounds intriguing, so either the merchants are scammers themselves or they are scammed too.

Yup. That's what intrigued me. Some even claimed to be accepting 100% payment in onecoin for their services.

Of course anyone can put on a suit and say I'm a merchant. So they might just be scammers buying cheap cr*p then selling it for worthless one coin and taking a cut of the company profit from selling it one coin and not really independent. I can't really see how they can scam.the merchants. Yes accept payment in onecoin then spend it on my platform. Really what about taxes?

Although my fave part was how it was the world's only centralised blockchain. I of you brought that I have an internetless email account I'd like to sell you.

I will give them it is impossible to hack though. My non-existent  software is impossible to hack too. What is impressive in a way is these people can drumpnup millions yet deal deserving projects that could impact a lot of people might be starved for funding.
