Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

Attention, attention if you ever said what about site blahblah.blah and went to bitcointalk forum to see if they are legit or what the reviews are. You are making a huge mistake.

first off the OP can remove any negative thread and there is nothing you can do about it. so if site blahblah rips off a few people a day and keeps a few hundred floating they can last for years doing that and just removing bad posts on their thread.

So my long winded announcement is do not trust bitcointalk for reviews or stuff like that and also be fully aware members sell loan and borrow against their bitcointalk accounts.

so they're selling a bunch of astroturfing/shill accounts to boost pump and dump sc.ams and the like?

unfortunately, i think it's just another dark part of the crypto world just like a ton of a-holes take our stea.lth tactics here to hock ill.egal shxt and/or sc.am people on a daily basis.

Not surprised of that forum...

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

The sad part is tons of people trust it and use it all the time to check on sites or ICos or whatever

Good shout! :thumb:

If your going to invest in crypto, my advice would be stick the top 5, things like Bitcoin which have been around for a while (consistently increasing in value year on year) and Ethereum which has vested interest from large conglomerates.

Coins that are further down the charts seem consistent with the pump and dump schemes.

You have ALWAYS been allowed to buy/sell/trade your accounts on Bitcointalk, you have only just realised this? A metric ton got stolen when their DB was dumped, tons of accounts floating about with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ reviews, scam sales and partaking in the launch of bull**** alts.

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

yeah but I think tons of people think its legit and use the reviews and the members to give cred to lots of things that dont deserve credit for sure

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

I have one of the best BTC profiles out there and I barely learned this when I had a dispute with cloudbet and they just removed all the bad comments I made and kept the good ones and after doing research I learned that almost half of the accounts commenting on my thread were actually cloudbet accounts that they had bought and the comments they removed were not nice but they were not against forum rules, it is just standard for bitcointalk to let OP remove anything they dont like.

here is my LBC profile to show I am not bull****ting

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

just showing my cred to say I am not bull****ting on the bitcointalk stuff

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

who cares

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

I know you're not dude, bitcointalk holds a huge marketplace weather it be directly selling goods or advertising services. Since the very start buying/selling accounts was allowed which is odd for a forum, but you really cant trust people on there.

I totally agree, I thought it was just common knowledge is all.

Re: Crypto Public Service Announcement
 

i think lots of people are getting into cryptos and researching crypto stuff now hence the section on aspkin now, so that is who cares maybe, maybe not too
