I first heard Bitcoin from a friend of ours back in 2014. During those times, we are those edgy kids who thinks we are all knowing who engage in deep web kind of things in Facebook. That's when I first heard Bitcoin and how it is used there but I didn't engage as I don't see any means of making money back then. Then 2017 came. One of my friend ask me to help him make any money around online so we search. That's when I heard Bitcoin again but this time, in a scam app in a mobile devise, it was super easy to earn there but of course, all our efforts wasted because it's not paying, but we didn't stop and that's when we got in this forum. Best discovery of my life.
You are right if you receive information about bitcoin which turns out to be a scam, because I observe a lot of inappropriate information about bitcoin. Where bitcoin is likened to a ponzi scheme. This might be the impact of the activities of the few people who turned out to use the ponzi scheme for member fraud. An example is the case that ensnared GG Miners CEO Josh Garza. Garza runs a ponzi scheme in his company by embezzling around USD9.8 million from his customers.
