Tnx for sharing. I believe that one of that scams is Bitconnect.

My question:
Who the hell takes investment advice from Youtube?

Thanks for sharing this post, it seems to me an unscrupulous action, thanks bro @calaber24p

yeah there are many bloody scamers which play the feelings of people and not think any thing and good to share and talk on it @calaber24p

+1000000... Im sick of these people trying to drag you into ponzi schemes, they do nothing else, only promoting scam sites, all their money is made by these scams, you go to their YouTube channel and there is no useful information at all, only: "lending xx$ in shitscamconnect site :O"... This is unfair for so many new crypto people who will soon or late be disappointed and will blame crypto community when these ponzi's blows...

Matter of thinking. Not completely depleted.

Well, it is nothing new. This is how marketing works :) When you make a new product, let's say some shitty balloons, you go to the same youtubers and ask them to promote your product. It could be a cool invention or a total garbage, but they don't care they just "pump" the same way like they do with ICOs. And yes there is a lot of scam, but it is more related to the fact that there are no institutions that control and issue licenses for new ICOs.

Youtubers either don't even try to analyze projects they advertise or either are too greedy

Thanks for the info! I’ve had a few friends try out Bitconnect, but I’m staying far away from it

Where there are people willing to buy, there will be thieves willing to sell.

Plenty of scam pusher out there unfortunately. And for any newcomers...ALL HYIPs are scams...STAY AWAY. You've been warned.

there is a french youtuber that is really great and truly loves sharing is knowledge on crypto @hasheur. Wanted to share someone who is actually not a scammer. lol

Hey @calaber24p

Scamming is part of digital marketing. There are many sites where I see scam advertisements and nowadays it's become easier to blame program or service just because it didn't work for a person.

There are many MLM schemes which are elite but people think MLM is a scam.

I think you should not blame only Youtubbers because I see scam/spam posts on Facebook, Twitter, and on Steemit. 

It's upto us, we should always research about companies and websites before investing our time and money. Don't you agree, @calaber24p ?

I think it's important to realize that if you choose to invest in something that sounds too good to be true, it is. I made the mistake of ignoring clear flaws in search of profit with Bitpetite a few months back, and it broke. I do think it's for you to do your own research and invest at your own discretion.

I'm with you! There always people whom just want to make money and hustle people. ICO looks like the latest scam magnet...
