I completely agree with this.

It's insane how many people are being taken by this scam. Everyone tells me "But a trusted friend told me it was okay" but they don't realize that's how this scam works. It's a pyramid scheme where 1 person thinks they make money by inviting their friend and it just goes down the line until everyone gets screwed. Everything in the 1 pager is a complete lie, it's a centralized platform running on servers owned by one guy @diamondhands and he awarded himself 8 million coins valued by him at (1.8 billion) so he can charge people $170 a coin to sell them one but offers no way to transact it back and all the outside services that are allowing you to sell it are just arranging ripoff deals between you and someone else based on the price fixed by @diamondhands and not the actual supply and demand of the coin. There is no stability, no expandability, the entire platform is a giant cash grab by someone who has done it before and is outside of the United States on purpose so he can just take the money and run.

It's mind blowing this already has robbed people of $350 billion and caused a lot of celebrities to throw away their brand screwing their followers thinking it's legit. However, many of them I suspect got big pay days for just accepting their token on the side since they obviously wouldn't want them selling the clout since they need that falsely boosted clout pre-public launch to ensure their audience buys them and send BTC to @diamondhands.

My god people get really dumb when they think they are going to get money even if it doesn't make any sense.

@Barnacules Do you really think people put $350 billion into this? Not even close... 🤣

Why don't you take time to explain how this Electron app, that simply loads bitclout.com, is capable of installing malware or "intercepting anything" rather than spreading FUD?

Doesn't matter what this application does, it still loads this scam website and that by itself makes this app bad.

Everything that's been said is correct in my opinion. It's a scam website so this application just should just not be trusted. I think you may be the one that needs to check the facts about this website.

@Barnacules Luckily, this repo has the (basic) source code, so no need to install any binary -- you can build right from source! 😀

They should be jailed for this.

They definitely should be.

That's one way to look at it. The other is that you are leaping to conclusions. The only way to know is to keep digging and wait. You talk about what could be, but you do not know what is or will be. Thanks for your concerns but be more professional and don't spam in the Github.

As one of the most vocal skeptics/critics that is part of the community, I guarantee that I have done more to help people understand risks than you have. If you convert your youtube video into a report, I would take a look but not adding to your stats there. I'm sure you are mostly conflating risk with scam, like most ppl are doing.

Hey everyone, GitHub is not an appropriate place to have these discussions. Please take them elsewhere.

Really surprised at how many people are so aggressively attacking this. This is literally just an electron app currently. Nothing fishy at all. If you're worried about BitClout, then don't buy any. You can still use the app.

that is not the reason, what we are attacking is the pyramid scheme behind it.

ghost commented 3 years ago

Like how the people attacking it have minecraft code on their commits. Facebook and twitter, etc., are pyramid schemes, because you have no control over your own value.

What do Minecraft plugins got to do with this? Please look into this scam before you get scammed. Trying to defend Bitclout is quite disgusting.

Rhys-Woolcott commented 3 years ago

You are aware you have no credence? Explain what Bitclout does that makes it a "pyramid scheme", that other social media platforms don't also do? If you mean spending or burning crypto to enter the blockchain and gain bitclout balance, your argument would validate bitcoin, uniswap, defi, and any crypto or digital currency is also a pyramid scheme along side any ap that requires a payment. Where are your facts? So if a bank, tech company, government, etc. does it and steals your value it's ok and normal, but bitclout is a pyramid scheme... Who made bitcoin? How many other currencies have no owner? … On Thu, Apr 22, 2021, 8:57 AM Aerial-Knight-Studios < @.***> wrote: Like how the people attacking it have minecraft code on their commits.
