It's a guaranteed $60k now or wait for a potential $300k plus.
If I was greedy enough to make a living from scamming people then I'd also be too greedy to give up the potential of $300k plus.
$60k is a few months worth of coke, whores and fast living. Even less if it has to be split between a group.
$300k plus can change most people's lives.
It's a bit of a catch-22.
The only way to get value up is to hype the coin and make twitter posts about 'really cool upcoming news tomorrow guyz!". You need to take your money as soon as the market responds to that news else you're gonna get called out the next day and the price drops.
(I'm just talking about scamming generally, not specifically ELITE)
