RE: Exposing the BIGGEST SCAM in cryptocurrency: Trevon James and BitConnect

in #steemit7 years ago

And with regard to Genesis, I completely agree. Same scammed dressed up as something else. @trevonjb I hope you see all this man, you know that 1000's of people in the community already hate your guts. You may have made a few $$$, but your rep and credibility is fucked, and only newbies listen to what you have to say. As I've already said, anyone with a decent amount of crypto knowledge has already called this guy out / knows he's full of it.

Sort:  

I've been in the "crypto game" only for 7 months, but I always do my research. I think his followers like him and voluntarily do this to themselves. Look at the comment section - they're all spamming their codes. They're aware of the fact that that's the way to make a profit faster. There's also related videos on the side which offer critical assessment. If a guy has found their way to Trevon, then they have the research ability and the mind to consider that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That's why I think that most of the people who got into this cannot be seen as victims. They know what it takes and I don't see a problem with it. Be and let be. I've also considered Genesis Mining and making videos myself, but I just don't have the extra cash for that and I don't think they'll be around for 2-3 years. But I am certain that I'll be successful, much like most others who do this and upload videos. Look on the bright side - their community is pretty tight. Few thousand people helping each other out by using each others' codes. In the end it's always the site owner who makes the most $$. I don't know. I just see it as a contract and not a scam. If you know what you're getting into, then you aren't being scammed. You're just playing the game.

I only worry, because as I've said, it's only a matter of time before the referrals start slowing down, and everyone starts to cash out. When that happens, you're gonna see a stampede of people trying to get their money out, and some people are bound to be left behind, broke.

Said people will then go on to lay a complaint, take a class action lawsuit against BCC or something, and next minute regulators are all up in the crypto space, trying to prove that everything is a scam.

Bitcoin already has connotations that it's a scam, do we really need this?

Hi CC, thanks for the info. I knew something was up with this guy posting a coun count every day (how gauche) and spamming his promo code. It all makes sense now.

Fundamentally he's just looking out for number one -- which is acceptable, if done with a little more taste and a little more generosity.

Thanks again! I've already wasted enough minutes looking at that greedy-stoner.

Cheers! from @thedamus

Yeah it's all a bit too, I dunno, obvious? I guess the coin count attracts people though, people who are super greedy

There's a way to be productive, earn money, be a little selfish, but not be a total D-bag...

And Trevon has not found it. Lol
Don't'cha worry too much though -- people get what's coming to 'em

Agreed 100%! Well anyways, thanks for being one of the very few to actually read this and take it on board, you'll be rewarded one day when you still have all your money, and all the trevon fanboys don't :)
