I never dump my valuable and promising ethereum just because of a stupid Google adsense advertisement. It has a bright future.

I think people want to justify the fact they didn't buy ethereum by calling it a scam or doomed to fail. I must say though that its short term prospects seem a bit bleak with regards to the scaling problems it faces even though I believe in it for the long term.

ICO craze ... the year Spoetnik decided Monero was pretty fair for a cryptocurrency.

I have said before i would put fair launched ANON coins above any ICO.
EVEN if i did not like the ANON concept or felt it would succeed.

I get what you are saying but i was on the record saying that in previous years. Wink

Anyone supporting an ICO is a scammy greedy douche that is damaging crypto's future.

The people who do that are not project supporters but profiteers.
They pile in like vultures screaming buy then run out in a stampede screaming sell.
..leaving the project a dead drained husk.

But i get what you mean though.. this ICO craze really sickens me.
I also couldn't care less what any of them are worth.
You have to draw a line in the sand at some point guys.  Angry

yeah it's the greatest ponzi tech ever invented. don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise and ignore any facts that disagree with what you have already decided, you made up your mind ignore any evidence to the contrary that's smart

Or when you start seeing "Launch your own ICO in minutes" advertisements on facebook & reddit . . .





Yes. I started to see some advertisements like this one. Everywhere full of ICO but Like It is not enough so they want to produce more and more ICO everyday. Because millions of investors are waiting out there. It's getting more dangerous everyday. Hope wont end bad.

But who are really the people profiting from this?
Ain't we all? With just a little knowledge with ICO's we could try to make a use of it.
Yes I agree they have the biggest income out there. But there are also people who want to have a part of it.
With a cheap price we ciuld buy and wait for it to end with a blasting price then maybe profit from it by selling even if for just an average amount.

For me, this is not that ad itself that is important, but mostly the fact it's becoming mainstream, and this is not better  Cheesy

These ads traget ETH but this could target another crypto, that would be the same thing.

There has been much more Bitcoin scams lurring people, so why just attacking Ethereum ?

It wasn't the first time, it won't be the last one. A successful idea attracts scammakers to do their own dirty scemes under the bright name.

i've seen ethereum and ico ads on youtube and in my yahoo inbox. it's crazy how far they've spread around. i don't know if it's all being directed by one group but it's certainly impressive.

i still think ethereum is a(n even bigger) disaster waiting to happen so i wouldn't put my lunch money into it.

Bitcoin is a sincere and honest attempt at an adopted fully functional currency..
Ethereum is not.
ETH is coin #1721 that rips off the concept but with a stupid gimmick attached to it.

One is a currency and the other is a profits platform.
See the difference?

Need more reasons?
See my comment 2 posts back or..  wait 5 minutes and I will repost it all over again.

NOOB I created a scam topic on ETH in 2014.. Read it?  
You have 5 posts here kid LOL

Why you ask?
You've been told but your ears are plugged with ICO shitcoin ROI's Cheesy

Why immediately train your guns at ETH just because a stupid scam ad coming out? Does that come from ETH people themselves? Of course not. Why would the people behind ETH commit a suicide on such a scam when they are already trusted? That would be suicide. Why the obvious hatred to ETH? It is fast gaining and investors are banking on it. I would say I would love to invest on it.

You know back in my day when a coin was launched as an IPO / ICO it was considered a scam..

They are still considered scam. All of them.

That does not necessarily mean that all are scams.

No but I explained how bad is bad ever since over and over.
Problem is people show up making dumb excuses like I need to be paid...
Which does not make them good.

They are not an improvement over Bitcoin.
So if the Altcoin in question is worse than BTC.. We have a problem.

It's not about right or wrong.
It's about progress and success.
And no one watching this ICO shit thinks it will end well.

You all keep lowering the bar on ideology.
For example..
If users are willing to hand over their picture ID to Coinbase?
While they hand it over to govt agents who get us arrested (Kickasstorrents)
How can we expect decentralized exchanges to take over.
And the ICO is centralization to the extreme and as exploitable as possible.
The initial distribution is as important as the properties of the coin itself..
So I have a problem when people imply the scammy ends justify the means.

I say this so crypto can be successful.
I don't care about your scammy short term profits.
And you scammy losers don't care about crypto.
Pretty simple really.. ICO=SCAM.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
:-)

I actually am curious to google income out of this whole cryptothing.

seems we are creating an economy around us?

thousands of people employed
millions investing
hundreds of companies

interesting.



I agree with that. Cryptocurrency is internet 2.0.

Like a dot com bubble?
That is a bad thing.
Yes, for now...

But if you bought Amazon stock in 1999, I doubt you'd feel so disappointed by this point.  It's not like e-commerce didn't work out in the end.

Just because of some advertisements doesn't mean we should dump ETH immediately. There is nothing wrong with ETH, isn't it? I will accumulate while the price is low.

Price isn't low anymore. The time to accumulate while it was low was a year ago.

The reason these advertisements are bad is that it is only marketing to draw new money in so early adopters can cash out.

Guess everybody needs to burn their fingers at one point to learn.

Everyone has to make their money someway. So this is a good opportunity for those who bought at < $100 to cash out, coz returns are nearly 3 times already.
