Without any shadow of a doubt, WTC is a scam.

Get out while you can!

There is no reliable record of the team i.e. linking them and their experience to the project.
Try and find evidence linking the supposed former VP of Samsung to Samsung and the project.

This forum and Reddit is full of very blatant WTC shills. The comments on Reddit are beyond belief.

Listed on only one exchange, with a relatively small number of tokens (compared to similar projects) the price looks like it is being manipulated.

They are pretending to win a competition that does not exist. The "Jinjiang Competition" - there is no reliable source for this whatsoever. This is an unverified/fake news http://www.kinews.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=110897
Seriously, they have just won a major competition - logos stuck on t-shirts, with a dodgy banner outside a sports centre. I've been to plenty of award ceremonies and competition results, this is a joke.

The website is poorly developed. If these people are serious/investable why can't they design a website or t-shirts. And it's called Walton coin. Serious business people would be much, much slicker than this.

I suspect a lot of effort has gone into making this appear credible but it isn't. Some people have seen big returns this week and are talking about market cap increase to $1billion+ and are dismissing my point of view with comments like "ah, well, things are lost in translation. they all have similar names and everyone is VP at Samsung. Western news would not cover the competition" etc.

You have been warned!

My only interest is for good people not to lose money.

For the record, my investments are: Waves, Wagerr, Zcoin, District0X, ARK and Monero.

I have no conflicts of interest and nothing to gain from this post.

Here, he is the Chief Scientist for Silicon Group (who won the Jin Jiang competition), and who sponsors Walton Chain: http://www.xmsilicon.com
Looking around on that site, it looks like they pretty much ARE WaltonChain. Mo Bing and Chen Zhangrong are also directors there: http://www.xmsilicon.com/col.jsp?id=130
On this page, the picture of the office looks to be the same one in the WaltonChain tour video, which further substantiates WaltonChain's link to Silicon Group: http://www.xmsilicon.com/col.jsp?id=104
Or how about Chen Zhangrong, who you're labeling "budget actor"? An article on him when he was (or still is) president of Tianyu International Group, Co. Ltd.: http://news.china-ef.com/471356.html
There are also countless news articles about the Walton team & their partnerships:

Here is one about their cooperation with Septwolves: http://tech.china.com/article/20170824/2017082452565.html

and there's likely much more that I missed over.
Mate, their credentials are definitely legitimate.
