Trap 1: Blockchain is to make money and make money.
Fraud routine
Blockchain is an epoch-making technological change and the last bus to take you to the road of wealth and freedom. I missed 10,000 bitcoins, and I still have to miss 10,000 ××××× coins? Xxxx coins, bitcoin is more powerful and has unlimited potential! Today, if you invest in our XXX currency, you can quickly realize the freedom of wealth.
truth
It is a concept of stealing to equate "blockchain" with "issuing currency". Blockchain is a technology, and coin issuance is a behavior derived from blockchain technology. At present, most blockchain applications based on coin issuance and speculation are suspected of illegal fund-raising.
Trap 2: Buying coins promises high returns.
Fraud routine
I missed 10,000 bitcoins, and I still have to miss 10,000 ××××× coins? Xxxx coins are more powerful than bitcoin and have unlimited potential!
truth
From directly building a website to selling coins to collecting money, to the junk cottage coins renamed after cloning Bitcoin, and then to the so-called ICO ... In recent years, scammers are also advancing with the times and upgrading their technology. However, the core of these routines will never change-I can make you rich overnight. But the point is, if the return is really that big, you have already made a fortune in silence. How can it be your turn to be irrelevant? You are not his father!
Trap 3: Decentralization can solve all problems
Fraud routine
Join us and the decentralized blockchain will change the world! At present, we live in a centralized world: when you transfer money from a bank, you need to transfer money from the central system; If you give advice to the company, you need to report to the supervisor first ... what if it is decentralized? You can bypass the center and do what you want directly. There will be no center to restrain you. Isn't this a way to change the world?
truth
Decentralization is one of the most valuable features of blockchain, but this feature is realized at the expense of its network efficiency, which not only decentralizes, but also improves efficiency. There is no perfect solution at present. Moreover, the application of decentralization is not suitable for all fields, and it is a misunderstanding and trap to make decentralization universal.
Trap 4: Having a white paper is practical application.
Fraud routine
In order to gain the trust of the people who eat melons, swindlers often throw out a blank sheet of paper and preach: "It is useless to dream divorced from reality. We are a real application project. We have published our own white paper. "
In its white paper, all the founding team members have overseas academic qualifications and won grand prizes; The technology of this project is described as very mature and has been applied. However, most of the contents of the white paper are written in English, and some technical terms are obscure.
truth
In fact, if you look at Baidu, many team members' academic qualifications are deceptive. In addition, blockchain technology is still in its early stage and it is not difficult to apply. If you claim to have an application based on a white paper, it is a deception in itself.
Trap 5: Celebrity platform is a good project.
Fraud routine
Some people say that the blockchain application is difficult, but our project is different and obviously superior to other projects, which can be seen from the background strength behind us. You see, this is the famous investors XXX and XXX, and this is the well-known bull of blockchain technology in the industry. You can check their information online and you will know how powerful they are.
truth
Finding celebrity platforms has become a common scam routine for many "blockchain scams". Because they don't have much strength, they can only rely on celebrities to "support the scene." And the possibility of celebrities "touching porcelain" is not ruled out.
Trap 6: You can also make money by lying on the mining machine.
Fraud routine
Besides buying our tokens, you can also buy our mining machine and lie down to make money. Through this mining machine, we can produce our tokens, and when the tokens are circulated to the market, we can wait for appreciation to make money.
truth
First of all, mining by mining machine requires cost, which consumes a lot of electricity and costs a lot of electricity. Secondly, although mining can get some tokens, the price of tokens will fluctuate constantly, which may lead to a lot of money loss.
In addition, ICO has been banned by the state, but in order to achieve the purpose of issuing coins, some blockchain projects have come up with ways to let investors mine and hold coins by selling mining machines. This IMO method has been characterized as "disguised ICO" and is also an illegal fund-raising behavior.
Trap 7: WeChat transaction collects money
Fraud routine
Some people make their circle of friends very eye-catching, which makes Xiaobai users feel highly credible. Then they pretend to be users who collect money from different places and ask the other party to transfer the token before paying. If you get it, you will turn your face and deny people, and then continue to look for the next prey.
truth
Because the current token address cannot be associated with the user identity, it cannot be found after being cheated. Moreover, virtual currency is not legal tender, and this kind of thing will not be filed even if it is reported to the police.
Abstract reminder
The "high-up" blockchain is not something that ordinary investors can play. In the face of obscure technical terms and myths about wealth, it is best to stay away from them.
Moreover, the means of scammers are also advancing with the times, and they will improve their ability to fool through various means. Investors should be vigilant, don't be fooled by exaggerated profit returns and "celebrity effect", and must remember that high returns have high risks, and prudent investment is king!
