is Hex a Scam?

Just like bitcoin is. In the early years that was called a scam too. Depends how many people believe in it.

If people believe that shiny stones have value, than they will have value.
If people believe that steem tokens have value, they will have value.
If people believe that Hex tokens have value, they will have value.
Hex is a immutable smart contract on Ethereum, with scam-like properties, because it can attract attention and spread like bacteria. Only time can tell who was right or wrong here, but i would not miss a brilliant idea just because others are screaming scam loudly without proper reasoning.
Can it go to zero? Any time, just like any other crypto. Can it do 1000x? Any time, just like any other crypto.
Invest only what you can afford to lose.
Bitcoin hodlers can claim it for free, no investment required.
Enjoy the game theory built into the code, it is going to be fun. It is still early times, started just 12 days ago.
Maybe not for Richard - who can go to prison for it, as he is the face of this project.
