Bitcoin Black - Legit or not ?

[laser212]

Hi Everyone cant say i'm new to crypto but haven't had an interest in it in a long time, so i come across this BitcoinBlack coin and was thinking about buying 100k coins in its presale. 
The thing is this coin dosent strike me as legit for a few reasons.

1. The Facebook reviews are nigerian prince style scams. 
2. looks like a rip of of NANO (whatever coin that is not sure) going by their github they are just copying and pasting code without even changing. 
3. wallet looks shite

So anyone here know weather or not its legit if it is i might risk 150 squid on 100k of it. 
otherwise what other new coins should i be buying and why the hell is the Antminer s9 tripled in price in last 2 weeks is there a new coin that can be mined that makes it profitable again  ? 

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

This is going to get a lot of hate but if it says Bitcoin in the name, and it's not Bitcoin, it's probably a scam. If you are new to crypto you need to do more research before making your first investment.

never heard of this one before. it sounds like another of those bitcoin forks which are obvious scams (all of them, I consider Bitcoin Cash a scam too, some people may not agree with that). and if all those points you mentioned are correct then this one is even worst than others. and they are running a presale too to grab people money (most other forks didn't do that at least)
I would not buy this. and I don't advise you to do that either.

I knew that Bitcoin black, the project claimed to beat or surpass bitcoin but I knew that's a big joke, I earned 3600 of this coin through airdrop and the wallet app is available on playstore too but there is no development or updates anymore, it's probably a scam, I can't even sell the airdrop I earned, it looks abandoned

[WalkerIVIV]

Bitcoin black was a scam coin. there are so many people in quora are saying it's a scam coin too. Anycoin that was using the name of bitcoin to catch the attention from the buyers can be catagorized as scam coin too.
There will be no more bitcoin and bitcoin is the only one that will rule crypto.
The name of this coin reminds me with so many scam bitcoin fork coin like Bitcoin diamond or bitcoin gold.

[poodle63]

A coin that's tailing a popular existing coin such as BTC usually a scam. It's not a new thing that some people created these kind of coin mimicking bitcoin just to trick people into thinking their coin worth as much as the real deal.

It kinda reminds me of that time when it's popular to create tokenized erc20 version of popular coin which in turns just become massive pump and dump game. I'd recommend not to invest anything.

If you don't buy bitcoin, you can buy some altcoins. I don't tell you that altcoins are good for you but if you really want to buy altcoins, please only buy altcoins that don't steal the name of bitcoin and make their names as:
Bitcoin Gold
Bitcoin Pink
BitCoin Black
Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash Vision
They are never good altcoins as they steal the source code of Bitcoin, and try to steal the name of bitcoin.

How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!
To newcomers: make sure when you buy bitcoin you are buying bitcoin!

150 "squid"? That's a lot.

Kidding aside, the copy-paste code without changes is already a red flag. No matter how legit their Facebook review is and how shitty their wallet is, that plagiarism of codes definitely doesn't save the face of the actual project. Definitely a scam.

[ethereumhunter]

I never heard of that coin, so I do not suggest you buy that coin, even if the price is too low for now. No one can guarantee if that coin can increase or beat bitcoin in the future. If the developer claims that their project will have more benefits than Bitcoin, they need to prove it to the crypto world, and we will see it later. Maybe you can select the other coins that will have the potential to increase in a short time or a long time, so you don't waste your time buying the wrong coin. But that will be up to you, we can only suggest you like that, and the rest is up to you.

If you have felt something like that, then it is no longer possible, but it is clear that black Bitcoin is a scam, because how can they beat Bitcoin while itself cannot be traded and there is no further development, not to mention the supply for such an Airdrop. big, this is very funny in my opinion and they are dreaming too.

I'm not quite sure if it's legit or not would you provide to us the official website of that particular project maybe we could find something on their whitepaper so we could check whether that could be a good project or not.

[Akiko]

Any project that's has Bitcoin name in it is mostly scam and use Bitcoin popularity to increase their demand and adoption  and fooling people that they can become Bitcoin someday . If I were you i will invest directly to Bitcoin than other project that use Bitcoin name. You already have idea with their supporters which  is mostly Nigerian and supporters of many scam and MLM coins .

[erikoy]

Well, you have laid your reason already so why keep believing in every ICO projects? I never want you to get regret soon but if you really want to invest then think the basic rule of investing. Invest money you can afford to lose. In this case, I do  ot believe that it will going to work out. It does only have a good name but I rather not believe in it because it just name after bitcoin it doesn't mean that it will be a good project. Reminder that there are many bit name project and most of them are not successful.

[mu_enrico]

A coin doesn't have to be legit to get pumped, just look at the top gainers https://coinmarketcap.com/gainers-losers/
However, I don't like Bitcoin Black simply because it is racist

Just play with money that you can afford to lose, DYOR & DWYOR.

150 "squid"? That's a lot.    

your expression made me think that squid is really expensive but you posted a real squid but what is that squid the op mean ? was it a coin and was that expensive ?

edit : i googled squid crypto and found nothing .

@jamal . bch is the only fork of btc that i know that is legit . black coin is not a fork of btc but it can be a token that copy the name of btc  . i think i have heard that name before but i wasnt sure if it is btc black or black coin . i know nano but i dont like rip off's .

That's a scam. The coin is only being created to be the scam coin. it can't even be called as crypto. it's a scam scheme that created by the scammers.
OP has mentioned all of the points that strongly proven that bitcoin black just another scam coins. This project has so many redflags and did you watch the thread dude?

In my opinion, Bitcoin Black is not clear because they even say that 36 billion coins are already in circulation which means that there will be more coins to be mined. I think you better avoid investing in bitcoin black and invest in other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, ETH, XRP and so on which already have a good reputation and are well known in the world.

very good advice and it is necessary to do because as long as we cannot know the actions of new coins it is clearly very risky to buy them, besides being able to provide reasonable proof. all new tokens are better to pay attention to first and don't be too hasty to make transactions. Moreover, we know that currently bitcoin is in a period of quite high prices, it is better to invest in bitcoin or ethereum as well as the best and top-ranked altcoins at this time.

I think what he meant was quid. It's a slang term for Pound. Look at the quote below

Quid is a slang expression for the British pound sterling, or the British pound (GBP), which is the currency of the United Kingdom (U.K.). A quid is equal to 100 pence, and it is generally believed to come from the Latin phrase “quid pro quo,” which translates into "something for something," or an equal exchange for goods or services. However, the exact etymology of the word as it relates to the British pound is still uncertain.

He probably has listed an extra S and make it look like squid. Lol.

@OP - Correct me if I'm wrong, please. 

[Kabul]

I have never heard of this coin before. Though I guess I will make some research before making an investment or some sorts of that.

In my opinion, using bitcoin in the name often a trash coin. Bitcoin cash is also trash. If you want to invest your money in bitcoin black, try to avoid it. Invest your money on tezos is better than this shitty unknown coin
