The analogy is not admissible, for two reasons:

(1) Yobit Investbox is almost like a gambling site which promises EV+, and most especially promises extreme EV+ on “Investbox”.  I say “almost”, because it is worse:  A typical provably-fair gambling site has a house edge of only around 1%, and thus makes a far superior “investment”.

I'm looking in that more phylosophical, as i think. Invest box is scam. And when Yobit tried to push such signature - i removed my own, because for me it's obvious scam. But now, i'm not advertising invest box, i'm advertising Yobit.

And you trying to push narrative "Yobit == Investbox". Invest box is part of Yobit, but not Yobit itself. The same as corrupted police is part of Ukraine, but not Ukraine itself so narrative from some Western assholes like "Ukraine is corrupted" is not true. And smells shitty.

Maybe people who don't live in post USSR countries can't understand that important moment, how something which obviously has some bad or scammy parts may not be a bad/scammy thing by itself. I don't know for sure.

At second, as i said, i personally never have any problem with Yobit, also i know many people who honestly telling that they haven't any problem with Yobit. Yobit is one of the important places, because this is centralized exchanger without KYC so in crypto industry is high pros.

Gambling sites which honestly do what they say on the tin are not scams, not even remotely comparable to Yobit; and to call Yobit a “gambling site” is an unwarranted calumny against actual gambling sites.

It was a bad comparison. Better it would like to compare Yobit with something like a swamp - you can live there, you can cross over it, but one wrong move - and you're dead.

The unavoidable result of this analysis is that advertising Yobit in any way is advertising a scam site.

Wrong.


later-banned user alia for promoting an allegedly EV+ gambling script.  That was a scam.
It's of course out-of-topic, but remind me - this was you who highly promoted user alia and accuses everyone who had any suspicions about her. And pam-pam, user alia is scammer. So, did you beared any responsibility? You know, there a very good term invented by highly respected Nassim Taleb - Skin in the game.

In fact, you "advertised a scammer"
