Warning: Here is a list of crypto ponzi schemes and people who are/were promoting them on YouTube

in #crypto7 years ago

Defunct ponzicoins:

  7. Coinreum
  8. Cryptodouble
  9. Metizer
  10. Microhash
  11. Thunderbit
  12. Vixice
  13. Vone

Note that the above coins are only ones that I think are ponzi schemes. There are many other scam coins out there, but I haven't included them here because many of them are controversial, so coming to a consensus on which are scams would be impossible, and because making this post was already a lot of work.Below is a list of YouTubers (that I'm sure is far from comprehensive) who are/were promoting at least one of the above coins. Some of them have removed their videos since Bitconnect collapsed, and some continue to shill other coins listed above. The purpose of this list is to be aware of whose advice to be especially skeptical of, and ideally to avoid watching them altogether.
