Crypto Ad you would not like to see is spreading across India!

[cheezcarls]

I don’t feel good about Floki getting advertised like this. It would only get worse to do like this as government is gonna crackdown on crypto ads like this. Only if they mentioned some disclaimers like “DYOR, only invest what you can afford to lose, etc.”, I would kinda be a bit decent and friendly letting people aware about the risks.

but as long as your government is allowing that then I'm sure there is nothing we can do but to accept that reality though we can still help others before falling into this trap by letting them know the possibilities of this turning into scam lol.

the name it self sounds a Big Joke lol.

This is just advertising, foolish advertising,the government generally does not have a problem with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, they do have a problem every now and then but at the end of the day, all these Altcoins are not really going to get the public recognition that they think they deserve but what's gonna happen is them trying really hard and using the money on advertising, plus these adds are not really that expensive considering the country.
The government needs to put forth a sane background check before they allow such advertising for obvious reasons. Right now the government of India wants to regulate rather ban cryptocurrencies.

It would be a good idea to add things like that but I do believe that :
People are already aware about the risks I do think that background checks on the particular company and ads are much needed (but then again tobacco companies still do it so a lil Disclaimer would be nice). It's 2022 now and there are many active crypto users in India. Even if they have absolutely no idea then they would be able to investigate the moment they make an investment, I have never heard of someone who would invest without thinking or analysing the market.

Hopefully, those people who see the advertisement will search for furthermore so they will realize that the advertisement can lead them to the wrong side.
They will find that bitcoin is a real investment than the other coins and they can start to invest in bitcoin using any amount, even for just $1.
Maybe they pay for some money to the advertisement broker to show their ads to the public so people can see them.
We can help them by telling them that the project is one of many projects in the crypto and so far, people who involve in the crypto world use bitcoin as their main investment.

There are so many altcoins spreading the false news that the Bitcoin train has already left. It hasn't yet. Nobody is missing Bitcoin. I believe that even at $46,000, Bitcoin is still a good buy and anybody who wishes to hop on board today is not yet late. They're maybe late if they compare themselves with those who bought at $1 or $10 but the bigger population of the world has not yet even considered buying. Buying today means a lot years and decades from now.

It's more psychological for those people when they see 1BTC is $46000 and the hope that 1 Floki could also turn into $1. They won't realize that even Shib Inu had been promoted widely that Coinbase added the token had not even reached a price of $0.01.

The ad is misleading people to pump and dump tokens but I would look at it in a good way because after this, the victims will have the chance to learn. What really matters in crypto, they could either learn to ride the pump and dump tokens or simply find their way to really analyze the BTC market and trade.

It depends. There is also the possibility that by losing money, by becoming victims of these specific cryptocurrencies, they will generalize and leave crypto altogether. There have been such cases. They're disappointed with their early or newbie crypto experiences so much so that they didn't come back to crypto anymore after their traumatic experience. That is why these types of marketing is wrong especially if they are targeted at newbies. Newbies should better study what crypto really is before jumping immediately into making investments.

OP updated with a new pic, I have just come across about the same ad, on a Kolkata Flyover.

While the government of India is still in discussion about presenting the crypto bills shit tokens are trying to use this time to get pumped by advertising openly. I guess this is the first crypto project that has been advertised on an Indian street. I have hardly seen them marketing on any internet platform. I am pretty much sure many Indian might have already invested heavily into it without even knowing what exactly FLOKI is all about.

Seriously? Metro? Flyovers? These people have gone so crazy that they are promoting spam projects on such platforms? This is really going to give a very bad name to the Indian crypto community, there are going to be Tons of people who will buy these Cryptocurrencies based on these ads as they would think if these are posted in metro then must be real otherwise government wouldn't allow it and then would get duped. I am surprised to see no authority is bating an eye on them, i remember unocoin founder got arrested for opening a Genuine bitcoin ATM while these people are promoting spams openly.

It is very clear that the management and team of floki coins don't have enough funds for advertising on this forum, street banners are cheaper than advertising on internet media, they think advertisements like that can be successful like the prime minister election, advertisements like that only a few Indians pass by who see it, the rest don't, how will floki coin investors know if it's like that.
