What's Up STACKERS!!
If you were around the last couple of days, you probably already heard that of two most popular Crypto "Fake Lending" programs were just shut down and took off. 🙇🏼♂️
Who should you "Blame"?... with tons of "Internet Marketers", "Bloggers", "Content Producers" and "Influencers" becoming "Crypto" Experts overnight putting people into these"Ponzi Schemes", are they at fault? 😨
Should they be accountable? They made "Millions" off of you pitching lies and deceit to you all over Social media.
You guys know me, I was offered sh💩t loads of "Deals" to promote these programs last year and got pitched numerous times a day. They all just wanted me to "Shill" it to all my followers. I just couldn't do it my people just to make a quick buck. 🖕
What was my sarcastic replies to all of them? Pay me 3-5 Bitcoins... just to see what they would say as a joke and to leave my ass alone. 🤣
So who's to blame? The Company, The Promoter, The Sheep? I would have to say everyone who was involved is to blame... including people who signed up.
"These Promoters" who knew it was a "Scheme" from the beginning still pitched it to you and you still called them your "Social Media" friends? They just took your money!
Now moving forward, they will still start promoting more "NEW"Schemes" to you all over again... and if you didn't learn your lesson and still follow them, it's your damn fault.
Always take full responsibly on all the decisions and choices you make in life... if you still let these fake "Social Media" influencers to entice you again with there charisma and personality, your the sheep and it 100% your fault... Stop the Bitchin'. 😳
This is a very touchy subject to most because it involves with your hard earned money. To each his own, but if you had some self awareness you should of known better.
It seems some of these people (that made millions scammin' people into there deals) are coming back to Steemit, well if you are the ones still support them on here... they are not the problem anymore, it's actually the people who still follow them.
Hate Me Or Love Me, it's still the truth. 🤷🏼♂️
Keep On STACKIN! 💞
For those who are interested in following my "Daily Activities" that I do in very "short form". Follow me here: @charles-fuchs.
I've been DM'd many times in Discord by people trying to get me to sign up to this BS Ponzi scheme.
Good riddance I say. Buy and HODL, don't fall for these 'get rich quick schemes' as they always collapse leaving the last to enter getting ripped off.
Nice one @stackin

I am so glad I never got into promoting these things. I think my very first video on Steemit was about Genesis Mining, which is shady enough and I never did it again. When I learned about those you have not named here from "CryptoNick" on YouTube I thought I could do the same for sure. But I always felt like it would be wrong to promote something I barely understand and that is being called out by many as a ponzi scheme. (So was Steemit, even on Wiki, but here I trusted my instinct as well and it was totally different)
It turned out to be a very wise decision.

I thought exactly the same when I watched his video today. "I cannot believe my eyes after so much they have done for me." He should have said: After so much he has done for them! Because the million he earned multiplies into millions he has delivered to them via his videos.

I dont want to defend the people who were promoting that but one thing I think we should consider is that BTC was created to give us the power over our money back

I think to blame are the people that believed this youtubers and let themselfs be influnced so much. The problem nowadays is that most of the people are taking financial advices from facebook and youtube. That is ridiculous ! If you meet someone on the street and he tells you, hey man invest in my coin it will give you 100% return, what you will tell him: Go away i dont even know you. But now every one is taking the information from internet as financial advice. Until everyone is doing this, a lot people will lose money and the people thinking with their own brain will win money. I hope after this with bitconnect people start asking themselfs, who should i really trust ?!

The only people at fault are the owners and also the investors. If you put any money into this crap which clearly screams ponzi then I feel like you should buck up and take your own responsibility and pay the price for your miss calculated mistake.
However I do feel a better job could be done by agencies to close this kind of crap down. It should not be that hard and take this long to figure out it was a scam hell we all knew it months ago if not the day it opened.
So then you question if they are just playing some evil game where they let people put hordes of money in and then when there is a lot they shut it down and claim to do all this research work on it etc to get people their money back. Which either 1. Never happens or 2. takes years and after all the fees your lucky to get half what you invested back. The entire system seems totally rigged if you ask me.

Completely agree. Everyone that participated was to blame and it was pretty obvious it was coming. I wonder if Bitconnect is dumping their Bitcoin and that it was is causing the price to crash. Doesn't make since for them to crash the market like this, but they are making a ton of money since most of this Bitcoin was probably given to them around the $5000 mark.
