RE: Steemit-Based Reality Game Announced: $10 million prize pool
What's up with the hostility? Sure no one knows who created bitcoin, but it was free to join and you only needed a CPU to mine it, not thousands of dollars up front.
All you needed to do to take advantage of OP's marketing efforts was to buy and hold some bts.
Instead, the naysayers and trolls are calling something a "scam" because they don't understand it. It is the height of ignorance and I am tired of several years of this. Hence the hostility. Thank you for asking :-)
I did that, but not thanks to matttrainer. He wasn't asking me for BTS to "get in early" on his project, he was asking for USD.
What is there to understand based on his seminar? Just blindly trust someone with my money? Why are you being so ridiculously sided with someone who behaved so unprofessionally, not to mention the post of promises of big profits and examples of "newbie grandmas" making a ton of money screams scam. We are already sold on blockchain technology and understand the advantages it provides and the difference between something being open-source and clear to the public instead of this Nigerian Scammer/ Onecoin Scamming level of bullshit.
That would have been unethical way of profiting.
I do understand it very well, I have seen several similar projects before. If this wasn't a scam, why it was build to look like and marketed like a scam?
The fact that the guy quits very soon just proves this. If he had had a real business plan, he could have just smile and say "just wait and see", execute the plan, and show everybody that it was a real thing. But no, he acted like a scammer would act in a situation where he faces a lots of critique: ragequit because he understands that he can't scam people in an environment like this.
