So who is up for an escrowed bet on whether this is a scam? (I'm taking the "yes it is" side).
How can you ever prove it is a scam though? If the deals dont go through and the project fails, it doesnt mean it was a scam.
That's the challenge. So far my best idea is to short it with escrow. This doesn't really judge if the project is a scam though as the market is easy to manipulate.
I guess I would also equate "really stupid idea that the creators of the coin knew wouldn't succeed" with it being a scam.
You could also have a bet that the value would be less than 1/2 of its current value six months from now. I might take that bet at 1:1 odds for a small amount (I'm not rich). Hmm you could set it up on one of the bitcoin betting sites (like bitbet.us).
