I've been reading both sides and I want to invest in this coin (invested a small amount already).
Look up torcoin
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/torcoin-tor/It was exactly the same scam. It reached $3 or $4 once then kept going down just like DumbOnion.
Theres no real life use to it. No investor will trust the shill posts, they are so easy to spot as
for what they are. Fakes by little children who own their first 1000 coins ever and hope it
will be the next bitcoin but there is 1000 other coins and deeponion is actually the worst of
them all.
I would not be suprised if DeepOnion becomes the first coin that goes to a negative price,
like -$50 so your exchanges will ask you to send more money to hold the coins you already
own.
I have actually read up on Torcoin, but the big issue with that was that there was a shit ton of lying about the product. It didn't even use the Tor network even though it implied using it. I can't say the same for Onion. Not trying to discredit you or anyone, but I just want to get a good handle on what's going on. There is a dump right now, probably because of the China situation as well as people trying to cash in easy. I would lose some money now if I cash out, but I don't really care about it too much, even if it completely tanks (only invest what you can afford to lose amirite?). However, when I was researching Darkcoin (Dash) I came across similar skepticism, I even found an article trying to go down the rabbit hole again today that was posted 3 years ago
http://cryptolife.net/darkcoin-the-next-big-thing-or-just-another-pump-and-dump/. So obviously I am a bit weary with these claims.
The only thing that I'm not quite sure about is this post:
Deeponion is 100% designed to enrich the creator. The topic is heavily spammed by paid shills daily to make the illusion of community activity. A lot of hacked accounts used. Dev will censor any negative comment (self-moderated topic) Top 25 wallets are holding 93 % of onions which equals approximately 35 million dollars. All this wallets belongs to dev and his friends.
http://178.62.250.234/richlist Developers airdroped very small amount of onions on the first airdrop and after that banned almost all participants. Now they are airdropping the coins to themselves. Price is pumped up (classic pump and dump) Developer is well known Russian scammer Vladislav Smolensev
https://empireflippers.com/russian-scammers-vladislav-smolensev-alexandr-smolensev/. If you want to enrich Russian scammer go ahead. That mindset of deeponion supporters is similar to this :Hey do you wan´t to vote for satan as president of the world, I give you 50$? Yeah of course, money for free, fuck the world why would I refuse free money?
If the Dev is indeed Vladislav Smolensev, then there is no doubt this is a scam. However, I can't for the love of me figure out how they came to that conclusion, especially someone on a new account (I know, I'm one to talk
).
