scam

no. the price electroneum now almost $2. very fantastic price of ico prices. many people invest in electroneum including me. and I have also made a big profit, so electroneum is not a scam. its good project.

Almost $2? No. It's only $0.17 right now. Honestly though, I don't find ETN as one potential coin. I mean... it's just a mere copy of XMR, nothing more. But since this is crypto world we're talking, everything is possible. Also just because you made a big profit, doesn't mean one project is not a scam. I'm not saying this is scam though. FYI Bitconnect is like $400 now.

You may be one of a few who speaks sense - it started out as a learning experience but I've met some of the biggest idiots I've ever come across in my life associated with or backing this project; you ask a valid question, you either don't get an answer or you get told to shut up. All the disciples seem to know is how to high-five each other when the going's good and ignore when it's not. High or rising price doesn't equal 'good project'. I suspect many people who are hell-bent on protecting it have invested their small wealth into this believing and tricking themselves that they will get rich with no effort. Honestly, this isn't what crypto needs. I'll be moderately happy if I make a bit of money out of this thing but that's all - I don't see a long-term future. All the 'Electroneum team' have is good marketing, well actually, just enough marketing to suck in people who are easily coerced (or just plain stupid - I would put money down that a tiny percentage actually read the white paper), the actual technical backing or knowledge is tiny. Every time you mention copying the Monero source code, they just say, 'it's a fork' or doesn't matter. I honestly believe this is just biding time until the ICO funds are unlocked (12 months) and then it's going to be anything goes...

If I thought I could make money by copying an existing coin, assembling a half-decent marketing team to hype everything up, paying some big and high-profiile firms to associate with it (HackerOne and the PR firm), making the odd lazy post on social media and still have most of it leftover for my exit - well, that would be amazing wouldn't it!

very true.. and when they delete people's messages for asking about exchange listings, you know they are good for nothing.
