Warning: Here is a list of crypto ponzi schemes and people who are/were promoting them on YouTube
I originally posted this here, and it was suggested that I make a separate text post for it.The ponzicoins currently around (that I'm aware of) are:
- BCC Cash (note that this is different from Bitcoin Cash)
- Binary Coin
- BitAI
- Bitclub
- Bitconnect X
- Bitfinite
- Bitglare Coin
- Chrysos
- Coinrium
- Cointeum
- Coinspace
- Davor
- Eigencoin
- Ethconnect
- Exacoin
- Falcon Coin
- Ficoin
- Forzacoin
- Gold Reward Token
- Goldgate
- Hextracoin
- HotCrypto
- Ibiscoin
- Ideacoin
- Knox Coin
- Lendconnect
- Libra Coin
- LoopX
- Martcoin
- Moneroconnect
- Monetize Coin
- Monyx
- Neoconnect
- Numiv
- Onecoin
- Pagarex
- Regalcoin
- Secular Coin
- SFICoin
- Steneum
- Stepium (actually a pyramid scheme)
- TEX Coin
- Thorn Coin
- Ucoin Cash

Defunct ponzicoins:
- Ambis
- Bitcoinly
- Bitconnect
- Bitlake
- Bitpetite
- Chain.Group
- Coinreum
- Cryptodouble
- Metizer
- Microhash
- Thunderbit
- Vixice
- Vone
Note that the above coins are only ones that I think are ponzi schemes. There are many other scam coins out there, but I haven't included them here because many of them are controversial, so coming to a consensus on which are scams would be impossible, and because making this post was already a lot of work.Below is a list of YouTubers (that I'm sure is far from comprehensive) who are/were promoting at least one of the above coins. Some of them have removed their videos since Bitconnect collapsed, and some continue to shill other coins listed above. The purpose of this list is to be aware of whose advice to be especially skeptical of, and ideally to avoid watching them altogether.
