FINANCE WEDNESDAY @SteemPh 10/03/2018
Hello Finance Wednesday readers. I have mentioned last week I was busy in a debate. Below are the details about it.
During these past days I have been busy mingling in the facebook community regarding Ponzi scams. I have come across these group who are saying they are educating people regarding crypto and the block chain and also EXPOSING ALL THE PONZI SCAMS THAT PLAGUE THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY
I was impressed at first because I thought there is a white knight to protect the innocents but when I dug deeper these guys have created their own cryptocurrency called XPONZ coin.
I went looking for their website and found it. Then I have had conversation with their lead developer and founder and all I could find was negatives.
It looked like something is wrong. They are offering a “mining hash for rent” for about $19 USD per 7 days. They also provide education regarding crypto currency and the blockchain.
This XPONZ project did have an IPO in the Philippines. I understand that this type of projects conduct ICO or IPO to raise funds for their projects.
However, the lead developer and founder told me that all those mining rigs are his even before the IPO. Then I looked at their first website and to my surprise their first website is a FREE website from wix.com. The problem is that, if he was able to pay for the mining rigs which is worth more than 700,000 pesos then he would be able to afford a proper website domain and web hosting. He said he have 9 years experience in business but I don’t know why he did not think that having a free website for the business is bad for the business.
The XPONZ lead developer and founder also told me that their IPO only have 41 participants and all 1 billion xponz tokens/coins are 100% distributed. These 41 individuals hold the majority of these coins. There is a possibility for a big dump when the price of this coin go up which bring the price down very low. On this situation people will lose faith on the project and the people who bought at the highest will lose out because the price will never go back up to that high price.
I made a review about their xponz coin and they were not happy with my negative find outs. The discussions are still on going so there will be more update about this so called XPONZ coin the anti-scam platform.
Anyway, I could keep talking about it here but it will just kept on going.
I would like you to read the article though because there is a lot to learn from it especially if you are a Filipino and living in Philippines.
Here is the link for the article.

I believe that many may have fallen victim of this in Philippine but it’s still not too late for people that may come across this post.
Thorough investigation needs to be done on such schemes.
Thanks for your effort and for those interviews and interrogations you made @steemph
I think it became .. dog eat dog...
People trying to battle this type of scam but then they themselves have now made it a business. You need to pay to be educated about this scams now.. it would be nice if they left it as just a community service to help the people that don't understand so that they will not fall victim.
Exactly!
