I find it bizarre that people would even consider it an investment let alone be stupid enough to give them bitcoin  Huh

Its great for them though a capital raising without giving out shares, just fake trading tokens that "investors" have to hope to find a even larger fool to flog them off too, to make any kind of return.



agreed and the amount claimed to be sold already as their center piece in their media campaign hyping / advertising stinks and is pretty fishy !

i also don't see the OP addressing that but creating a new topic and dodging the point brought up on other topics like the one i made on this coin last week..

It's not fishy!
go watch this video, and the other 30 some videos next to it.

What you'll notice is that there are a group of people working on the Ethereum blockchain itself, and shit ton  of other people working on applications that will sit on top of the ethereum blockchain. If I was going to bet, i would bet that most, if not all of those people are also bitcoin-heads and Cyberpunks who have bitcoins and probably got in early. That would explain all the "investors". You know who is willing to trade their BTC for ETHs? people who are working on the project and fully understand the implication of their creation.

again, all Im asking you guys to just stop calling it a "scam" because you have ZERO proof of such BS.









It may not be your typical 'scam'. It will be as close as it gets though.

We just posted a contract about the Ethereum sale - if you predict it won't go above 25K BTC, chime in with your BTC here:

All I hear is , Scam!!! SCAM COIN!!! Con Artists!!!

Please watch this presentation, and i mean watch the whole thing, not like 4 minutes of it and tell me how you can possibly believe it's a  a scam "coin"!! There are a lot of moving parts and a lot of dedicated people working on it. ( unless everyone are actors and this is a conspiracy to run away with all the coins they can get their hands on) I'm big fan of conspiracies but this one i have to say probably not.

These guys are trying to build something very important here. I'm not asking you to give up your precious bitcoins for some unknown Eths. I'm just asking you to dig a little deeper, before you just call it a scam coin. Frankly, when i talk to some of you, i feel like i'm talking to some MSNBC talking head about bitcoin.

I find it amusing that people call them scammers ... while they support different altcoins .... this is something beyond my capacity of understanding .... at least you can see this guys ... but yet you prefer to trust someone you never saw and never will and invest into a shit altcoin!

Does it really matter what people say here? I mean, probably half the time people are flat out lying. I'd say it's more than half.

Some people do have valid points, but if you like the coin, just buy it. It's actually in your best interest for people go around screaming scam, as the less people who invest, the better off you are.



it's not a coin

Yeah, I know. But you know what I mean.

if i think about it, we had that situation earlier and it lead to this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stfu-crypto-excuses-shut-your-dick-holsters-708620

it's not that i don't care when they extract a few thousand btc out of altcoins for crack.

Actually we are not haters.

I think what ethereum is trying to do is quite big,
Unfortunately I think it is way overpriced + no final coins cap + I think bitcoin will at least double itself in the next 6 months.

I remember those days when a project needed 2 programmers and few pizzas,
I guess time has changed and today you need around 10M dollars Smiley

Goldman Sachs doesn't care about pizza

I still think it will be the java applets of the alt-coin world. Plus as many people pointed out, this is a stolen idea. Look at Charles Hoskinson, he isn't really a person on the up and up.

Isn't there a vid of an interview where the ethereum guy laughs about people stealing lots of money from others to start a community or something?

Yes. Vetalik after highschool apparently went to a bunch of co-ops and alt communities and worked on bunch of bitcoin projects. In one of the co-ops in Spain he tells the story of some guy to took out loans from banks and defaulted on them and spent all that money on buying those buildings or something like that.
