i am a business owner, have been for the last 5 years. I had a few friends trying to convince me, respectable people, military personnel, nurses fellow business men all respectable....all getting duped into these silly ponzi scheme sites. I am of the opinion that most, if not all are merely scams, paying you with btc they receive from punters who've lucked out (via difficulty increases, contract price increases etc etc.)
Having looked at Genesis, seems to be a very nicely done investment "pretend" site. The fact that the Australians (who seem to love these types of marketing scams (you seen their "forex" cfd sites or Avon or even goddamn betting software?)) push it, tells me it's a scam...or t the very least a get rich quick scheme...Which, any real investor knows, that you have to play big (10k+) range, and that off of that 10g you will make (on a very very good year) 3g. And no its not sustainable...But any company worth it's salt knows the only real way, sustain-ably, in the world of crypto is to mine big, have an exchange, enforce usage of a token or new coin, collect negative returns( i.e be a negative geared company)in power or generate their own low cost power (Utilizing asset depreciation as another leverage point) pump and dump, then restructure....but THESE Mofo, they're big promises and big dreams. Here for the log run...big time scammers they would be in any other industry..
And half of the people here rallying to support the machines....are really just cogs in the system. It's naive to think that the systems immune response won't be initiated when you prod the bug....Good on ya OP, go hard!
