You haven't answered anything he even asked - your argument is ad hominem...

Well, although I didn't come here to answer him at all, I actually managed to answer his last question: "Is this a problem with Cryptopia or #ETN?".

And yes, one of the biggest problems they have is that despite having a large market cap (mostly because everyone is too busy high-fiving themselves about how amazing and 'revolutionary' this coin is) is that it only has one exchange - why have they not made getting listed on other exchanges? Maybe, I dunno, during that month when they shut everything down and locked the wallets?

Couldn't agree more... However, getting listed on exchange is not easy, nor cheap... Actually exactly the opposite, pretty hard and very pricey. Not being listed on more than 1 exchange doesn't mean that coin is a scam. Hope we can agree about that.

There is no 'idea' behind ETN, it's just Monero with the promise of mobile mining - which in turn has interested people who probably shouldn't be playing with crypto in the early days because they clearly can't afford to and just think that it's an easy way to get rich.

Most of the stuff in this (real) world are a "copy" of something else. With a different package. And yet, you, like the rest of the world is buying it. I personally don't see that XYZ chocolate is a "scam" just because Milka had chocolate years before XYZ and there's nothing revolutionary about it even though they are marketing it as a "revolutionary" chocolate.
People who thought (or still think) that Electroneum will make them rich "easy" and "quickly" are just stupid. There never was and never will be such a thing, at least not for majority of world's population.
Still, however, this doesn't classify something as a "scam". Can we agree on this one too?

Try addressing the valid issues people have with this rather than just attacking the individuals and maybe it'll have some credibility. Also, don't come to a thread called 'is Electroneum a SCAM' expecting everyone to be high-fiving each other and saying how amazing it is or are raising valid concerns not allowed now?

Again, I completely agree with regarding this.
I didn't expect people high-fiving each other on this topic, I came with one reason only, to reply to the post I replied to because I have noticed the same post on a different topic and I couldn't resist to put my 2 cents here and try to explain some things which should be more than obvious. I apologise for that and I admit that I made a mistake by coming here completely.

You are completely right when you say that people have "valid issues", but in my eyes, at least the topic title is misleading, because literally each and every "valid issue" has nothing to do with "scamming people". No one got scammed yet, as far as I know. People have lots of questions, lots of confusion, they are impatient, have problems with Cryptopia, but why labelling something as a "scam" then?

My disclaimer - I don't think it's a scam and I do hold ETN, I also think it's incredibly mismanaged and over-hyped; but that doesn't mean I won't try and make money off it.

100% agree :)
