Today I saw Coinmarketcap to advert a ponzi scheme site, promising 12% daily interest : https://laser.online/

Does such stuff make you loose faith and trust in sites who are advertising it?

They just advertise the site which pays them the maximum and wash their hands of it. As long as the site is legal, I don't think they really care. In the end, the people visiting the website have to be careful about which sites they trust.

Couldn't find any advertising terms for coinmarketcap but I think it is quite mandatory because coinmarketcap is visited by many crypto lovers and newbie investors who will easily get scammed by ponzis like this.

Looks like that ponzi have paid more than $10,000 for that top banner or even more and coinmarketcap is busy on counting those money rather than filtering what they are advertising.

That is generally on crypto websites which can be seen on faucets and news sites. The newbies are confronted with these promising investment programs and in the end, they are victims themselves.
Coinmarketcap and many others remain neutral concerning this type of advertising because this kind is the most profitable next to ICOs apart from Bitcoin Casino and Faucet advertising.

I understand them so well! It's hard to make money from publishing on the web, so most editors accept anything. It's also possible they're not aware of that advertiser. I don't blame them.

You are right this is what happens normally i have seen many adverts in past which are running a ponzi scheme or are a pure scam but coinmarket doesn't care you need to have minimum budget of $500 to advertise on their site if you pay that they will advertise mostly anything. They don't permit adult sites but any crypto related site is permitted.

Maybe that's why they didn't put any disclaimer in the first place. They are already cleaning their hands before any claims against them could be made. And $10K is a lot of money. Maybe that ponzi scheme really have lot of money to begin with, money they collected from all the ponzi scheme's they run throughout the internet. Again its premium pay, coinmarketcap would just accepts it as long as you can pay them right? Just sad though when you see newbie threads popping and claiming they have been scammed, maybe they got it from coinmarketcap, or maybe not. Huh

Well its pretty disappointing but then the site is making money from it so those people who visit the site should know better and do their own research. For the newbies to crypto world, it might be pretty enticing but to those who are experienced enough will know that those kind of sites are scam or even the newbies will know also at first glance but would still try in the hopes that it would be paying and given that it is advertise by a reputable site makes it more attractive.

Like others said the site has no direct connection with the mentioned site its just doing what its paid for although, I agree they should check who they are advertising before putting it up many innocent users with low knowledge about these type of scams fall for it but in the end that's how they are making money to keep the site going cannot blame them either.

It is not wrong to advertise anything into a site as long as money matters at least for a site owner.
People creates sites to make money, right? Maybe coinmarketcap received the best offer from laser.online and placed their ad.

It will be wrong if a mature person falls into the trap of ponzi.
Those who are mature enough to make investments online then they should also know the definition of DANGER.
And they should always think of their own safety, I mean, their own money safety.

Ponzi sites are still in market, it is due to some people still support this.
Imagine if no one support this shit, what will happen to ponzi sector? Simple, it will be vanished!

We, bitcointalk community are always fighting against ponzi. But still we need more time to win this war.

Where is my ring of blades...

none of them care really, they just want the money and they want more traffic to get that money.
a simple ad, which is advertising a service elsewhere is nothing! coinmarketcap used to list all kinds of scam coins that were too obvious. after so many complaints they removed some and do a little more screening now.

besides, scam advertisements are not new in this world. all the so called news sites are doing it. you just have to pay the price of it!

Agreed. They really should put that terms/disclaimer somehow to decrease the liabilities on the effects of the advertised site unto their visitors (atleast giving notice to them will lessen the risk getting scammed). I guess that's the only cent I could also suggest to them to clean this up. I understand that coinmarketcap also needs its maintenance for running their crypto service.

P.S. I don't support ponzi

No it doesn't , I'll still use it for cryptocurrency list and info needs. Coinmarketcap also list possible scam and shitcoins so that's not a new thing and I think, it doesn't mean that they truly endorsed such site by putting the ads.
They only want to have monetization , the same with bitcointalk (check ads disclaimer on every first post).
Also, you'll see on their site's faq "We're not here to judge the merits of any cryptocurrency, but we provide the best tools for you to make your own conclusions."

It is what it is mate. This is what's keep the site still alive and giving valuable informations we need for statistical analysis on cryptocurrencies. Maybe this give them good profits. But this is bad because they are promoting ponzi sites. Im not sure it's a ponzi. But 12% seems suspicious to me. Anyway, it's fine to me since im aware about ponzi schemes lurking all over the internet. And wee have nothing to do about that since it's their site. Actually even on some legit sites we see some ponzi advertisements on them. So invest at your own risks. Me, i just ignore them. Quite annoying but what can we do about that?

For us who are familiar with Crypto-Currency world it's not a problem as we can detect a Ponzi scheme easily, but for beginners it can be considered a legit site, especially being advertised by a popular Crypto site that is Coinmarketcap... That is a trap for newbies and I think Coinmarketcap loses reputation by accepting this kind of banner on their site.

When I click on the banner I can see really fast the referral link: "Noah12". So they are not only promoting the site, but referring people to earn comission over the investors.

I think they just accepted that advertisement to be put in their website. Everyone has to make money in someway, And I see that when you click advertising link:

Quote

What is the approximate budget for the advertising campaign? ($10000 minimum order)

But I haven't seen any policy about advertising scam ICO or projects.

So if anyone can afford to pay that amount they are definitely going to advertisement it on their website. I don't know who run coinmarketcap though, if it still own by CoinTelegraph. They also have a thread here:

Every time i check coinmarketcap i always seen cloud mining site or ponzi site.. But since coinmarketcap is a free tool i think they are just adding this advertisement for maintaining their website.. Well its not a problem you can ignore it if you see ponzi site that actually are scam..
For me its not annoying not the same as pop up ads that will really annoying .
Mostly i seen here are cloud mining like genesis mining and ICO's advertise randomly..
Just notice referrals links they use for every banners..

We know that coinmarketcap has giving has a real time updates about the market and we really can't blame them to advertise a ponzi / scam site to their page. They are not encouraging people to invest their but they are only for the payment of advertising.

Because of their service they are well known place for a good advertisement and views for any company that wish to advertise to them but they should have a policy that they won't be supporting any scam nor advertising.

That banner says,

Quote

Tired of fake ICOs?

As if they are not a fake investment scheme. This is a desperate move for that ponzi, 12% profit daily isn't realistic.

Anyway I didn't noticed this as I'm focused all the time with the content not with those ads, thanks for noticing it then.
