<prompt> Human: My brother is about to invest in this cryptocurrency and I am not sure if it is scam or a really easy way to earn some money. Do you know this currency and would you invest in it?  <response>: I havent heard of it before, but putting the word in Google brings up a shitload of articles explaining why its a scam.In general, any new bitcoin-style blockchain based crypto-currency is either an intentional scam by the creators, who sit on a ton of pre-created currency and sell it when the price goes up, or even if they dont pre-mine they still essentially do the same thing by mining a ton when its easy. Even if a crypto-currency isnt an intentional scam, anything but bitcoin will generally fail as people lose interest in it, so either way youre gonna lose money.But briefly looking at onecoin, this is honestly the scammiest scam thats ever scammed the face of the earth.Its closed source, so massive massive massive red flag in crypto-currency. It basically looks like theyve created the scammiest crypto-currency ever in an ocean of scammy crypto-currencies, combining the scammiest aspect of all previous scammy crypto-currencies, and then just to outdo that frankly impressive feat, they literally built a pyramid scheme into the currency. Its literally layers and layers of scam. I dont think I could even dream up a more scammy crypto-currency, its a scam in too many ways to count. It is a masterpiece of scam engineering.
