It's easy to nail/ban these users, they
seek the threads that are easy-to-reply-to and can simply give a shallow opinion that contributes (read: "contributes"). I feel those "Is Bitcoin going to be used in 10 years?" threads are the hotspots or even made by people to allow these random "discussions".. It's the allure of getting quick cash for non-work that keeps it going, and those in less-than-ideal-income countries do it much more willingly/will continue even after it fries your brain for just typing nonsense all day..
Now we haven't even talked about the new IEO products they're offering. They switched from Pump&Dump ICO's to IEO's, which are basically an even bigger sack of horseshit (or simply renamed?).
https://yobit.net/en/ico/timer/They are conducting IEO for coins that do not exist - it's not a project. They make a paid "SHROOM" let's say, and that's it, new coin added. It's to generate profit for those who get in early - a kind of gambling game. It can be profitable or very taxing. I guess nothing wrong with that and up to each use to play their part or avoid it.
Mind you, this is a quote from someone that actively participates in them. (And even he can't make it sound like anything but a huge freaking scam..) they don't even offer any product at all to their users...? (Which is somewhat the case with ICO's, you get a withdrawable token, (which is usually not worth shit either, but still.))
It's pretty clear that they are non-tokens and purely a gambling game of "get in/get out". It's not a ponzi though, but "hoping someone else buys at a higher price than you did" game. This is what Crypto allows and it only continues to exists because people are tempted/ready to play/gamble.
Exactly, the same opinion must be applied to nearly every single ICO that has existed that was a "utility" token. We're in the midst of a bubble, most things/most people are out-of-touch with reality. Like what the fuck is BNB? What the fuck is Litecoin even? Bitcoin/Ethereum/maybe 5 other systems (DAI/Maker? Gemini dollar? 0x? Mana?) I would argue are the only systems that matter until *new* systems (not just replicated) come along. Even then - Bitcoin is the other thing that seems like it can really stick around (everything else can be merged into it AFAIK.. Layer 1 (instant payments), Layer 2 (computing layer), Layer 3 (
), etc..).
Then we can apply all this logic to the "real world", and realise everything is bullshit too. Apple, Amazon, Google stock? What do you actually own.. Nothing.. It's for the (hopeful) price rises - well, actually dividends of their profits too sometimes. Crypto is just another way of someone/something out there rushing to print a shit ton and get real tangible assets ASAP. Crypto is crazy if you think about the implications/what it reveals..
EDIT: Sorry for tangent, but all of this is very exciting/confusing/out of whack.. and I believe for most people..
