YoCoin Is An MLM Backed Scam Coin - Yo Coin Review

in coins •  8 years ago 

YoCoin is the latest MLM investment scam looking to capitalize on the popularity of Bitcoin and other digital currencies by parting unsuspecting investors from their cold hard cash.

Since the massive success of Bitcoin in 2013 when the digital currency soared over $1,000 in value, there has been a drastic increase in online scams and schemes attempting to capitalize on digital currency. These scams range anywhere from fake cloud mining operations who promise exorbitant daily payouts, to companies selling fake made up coins that don't even exist outside of their own company website. No matter what the scam may be, the constant is that these companies all prey on unsuspecting investors and novice crypto users to line their own pockets.

The newest such scam exists around a coin called YoCoin (YOC). At first glance, YoCoin appears to be your average run of the mill scrypt coin. You can find hundreds of similar coins announced on the website bitcointalk.org. However, YoCoin has increased in value nearly 3,000% over the past week! Why? Because Yocoin is the latest MLM investment scam coin!

The details of the investment side of YoCoin do not appear to be publicly available. However, there are already several MLM savages that have been posting YouTube videos and spamming referral links to the scheme all over the internet.

In short, one makes an investment and in return, receives YoCoins. After doing so, they become part of the scheme and must then convince others to join via their referral link, and purchase YoCoins as well. Members are then compensated whenever people they refer or others in their downline purchase YoCoins.

You might be wondering, where do the funds come from to compensate the sponsors when their downline purchases YoCoins? The answer, the PREMINE! When the coin was first launched, the creators of the coin premined 20% of the total coins, or 16,800,000 coins! This means the owners own 20% of all coins in existence, and could sell them on the open market at any time and collapse the market.

With such a large premine, it would be impossible for the creators to sell their coins without crashing the market. Thus, the scheme was born! Instead of selling their coins on the open market, the company is selling their coins to "investors". These investors happily purchase the coins at the current market value with the promise of riches if they can persuade others to do the same. Over time, the premine will be sold generating huge sums of cash for the creators of the coin. However, once the entire premine is sold, what motivation will the creators have to continue developing the coin? None!

Eventually, the investment scheme will collapse, and coin holders will rush to sell their YoCoins on the open market. In doing so, the value of the coin will plummet, and investors will be left with pennies on the dollar.

In conclusion, I urge you to beware of the YoCoin scam! The investment model is a scheme, and there is no real future for the coin. When it comes to investing, always remember the old addage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".

Bitcoin Alternative YoCoin, a New Cryptocurrency With Mainstream Appeal
YoCoin
PRESS RELEASE JUL 7, 2016
New easy-to-mine cryptocurrency YoCoin is making waves across several exchanges with exciting new innovations yet to come.
Bangkok, Thailand, July 7, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Cryptocurrency has become a phenomenon that will not be going away anytime soon, and YoCoin is leading the charge to take cryptocurrencies mainstream and make them accessible to everyone.
Unlike most of the alternative cryptocurrencies, YoCoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency based on the Scrypt mining algorithm, making it far more accessible than Bitcoin is when it comes to mining. Anyone with a decent graphics card in their computer can start mining YoCoin at home with little effort. With wallets available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, no digital currency enthusiasts are left behind. For those looking to buy YoCoin, there are several exchanges to choose from. YoCoin is actively traded on exchanges such as C-Cex, SafeCex, Alcurex, CoinExchange, Bloombit, and others.
Targeting the younger crowd, especially millennials, is one of the main reasons why YoCoin was created in the first place. YoCoin sees itself as the premier internet currency, providing a once in a lifetime opportunity to help revolutionize the business world and payment systems of today.
“We’ve been working hard on this project for a long time,”
Said Dave Wilson, Chief Operating Officer of YoCoin.
“We look forward to taking YoCoin to the next level and beyond.”
With a dedicated development roadmap in place, there is plenty to look forward to when it comes to YoCoin. On the to-do list are the release of a mobile wallet for Android users, as well as the issuance of physical YOC coins. These limited edition coins are great gifts for friends and family, and they make for great collectibles as well.
Any cryptocurrency is only as useful as where it can be actually used, and the YoCoin team is working hard on establishing new use cases every day. Bringing this cryptocurrency to casino platforms and other merchants is planned for the coming weeks.
