I think she may have already pulled the trigger even when I told her not to..... She just kept going on and on about how much money can be made and that I should just listen to the presentation or whatever to "understand". Good to know how little faith she has for me.... I mean, I only hold a degree in commerce with a specialization in finance and probably going to do my MBA when my son is home and stable... what do I know, eh? I'm just now thinking what recourse is available, like what paper trail is required before going to the BC Securities Commission or something.

Rumour has it that DasCoin is a ponzi scheme. Her "friend" received DasCoins for referring her and getting her to sign up. That's textbook Ponzi. I hope she bought it last year and was an early investor or her money is most likely gone if she just joined something so public. She's going to have to screw over a lot of people that she knows just to even have a chance at getting something back. The founders of Centra just got arrested by the SEC here in the US for their bogus Initial Coin Offering. One of the things that Centra claimed, as does DasCoin, is that they have connections to Mastercard and Visa. They didn't. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/02/technology/virtual-currency-arrest-centra.html The SEC is also investigating dozens more people/coins for their I.C.O. shenanigans. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/28/technology/initial-coin-offerings-sec.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharmalaw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 the last place i would have expected to find a cryptocurrency thread haha... am a long-time crypto investor and am still very bullish about crypto/blockchain tech despite our current bear market... Now is a great time to enter if you have spare cash... only invest in projects that could/would survive a crypto apocalypse.. my picks are as follows (note: i do have big holdings in some of these so do your own research)... i'm not a day trader.. only focus on good projects and prefer dividend/staking coins... bitcoin ethereum neo vechain (my favourite project) icon omisego eos currently very bullish on high performance blockchain as well... happy hodling guys!

The Vancouver Connection Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 anyone who thinks cryptocurrency will be dead or is a fad has no idea what they're talking about. It's an unregulated market, this why you see massive swings, but this is also how you get rich. Just don't put more than you can afford to lose and you'll be just fine.

Just because 1 or 2 coins are building Ponzi-like schemes into their offerings, doesn't mean the rest are bad. People just have to be smart in which currency they invest in. If the currency that's being offered needs it's own investors to literally sell it like DasCoin, which is most definitely a Ponzi scheme that's attached to a coin, it's not a safe investment.

GLASSJAW Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 another pump just happened. looks like a LOT (if not everything) is going up. there was a lot of rumors about a bullrun starting mid april, but i've learned to ignore most specifics like that. been a pretty interesting day though - could just be a one-off, but interesting nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
