❶ Blockchain wallet scams.
What I want to share with you today is a blockchain wallet scam.
At present, various blockchain projects are flying all over the market. Whichever industry is popular will have which chain and which currency!
These blockchain projects are financial investment projects and are different from the blockchain technology advocated in my country’s key development directions. It is a fund package that uses blockchain technology as a bait for packaging, speculation, hype, and money trapping.
Blockchain is a decentralized super ledger that cannot be copied, falsified, or changed. A technology like this is still used in many practical scenarios in banks, insurance, and large companies such as Alibaba and Tencent.
Many so-called blockchain projects do not have any service targets, so just build a blockchain. Who will they serve? Where will they be applied? It is nothing more than creating a concept. Raise the currency price to make money.
I think there are two types of people who understand human nature best in the world, one is psychologists, and the other is liars. In the eyes of these behind-the-scenes bosses and liars, the new technology of blockchain, mixed with virtual currency, is an excellent story framework that can be used to make money with a little processing.
Those mainstream virtual currencies do not have extremely short cycles and collapse at the speed of light like domestic MLM coins or altcoins. Instead, they fall, rise, rise, rise and fall in a long cycle, just like the stock market. . There is a saying in the currency circle that it is harder to keep money than to be a widow
Therefore, those who have the fantasy of getting rich all day long hold in the hands of these seeds that are said to be able to get rich, but they watch them fall every day. It goes up again and again, up and down again. Isn’t it like sitting on pins and needles? How many ordinary people can sit still?
At this time, the blockchain wallet came into being. “As long as you put the money on hand The virtual currency is deposited in my so-and-so wallet, the capital is guaranteed and the income is guaranteed, and it is quite comfortable to get rich while lying down."
There was once a very popular wallet product that claimed to guarantee principal and provide monthly interest rates as high as 10%-30%. The operation is even simpler than P2P. First deposit the virtual currency into the app account, then turn on the "smart dog" brick-moving mode, and then open the wallet every day and watch the assets rise. That is to say, you can make money while lying down.
Moreover, as long as you use the compound interest investment model and recruit people, the annual return is conservatively estimated to be 700%! If you recruit people to level 10, the rate of return will be 1400%! All fools know that it can Get rich!
Haha, this is the brilliance of a trader. One product can clearly arrange the psychology of leeks!
The wallet, to put it nicely, is called "quantitative trading bricks" "In fact,It's just a disguised fund disk. The essence is fixed rebates. In fact, those traders in the past found that consumer rebates are not easy to use, so they started to package them. Seeing that the blockchain is hot now, they used mainstream coins to make an article. I packaged a wallet and said My wallet has high-frequency cash out and high-frequency trading functions. In the past, you used to use money to buy products, or you gave me money directly. You are worried. Now I don’t want money. You use the money to buy Bitcoins. Then put your Bitcoins in my wallet, and I will give you interest every day of the month based on the amount of coins you put.
Well, Bitcoin is money, and you bought your coins with money. In the end, he may shut down the Internet and run away, then take all your coins and go to the transaction himself. All cashed out.
You want his interest, he wants your principal!
The blockchain wallet model is actually a model that uses fixed rebates to attract investors. The difference is that the deposit is virtual currency. The most typical blockchain wallet is the plus wallet.
For example, after you deposit Bitcoin, you will receive rebates every day. The source of the rebates claims to have smart arbitrage as an income. source, and then return you the platform currency, and then exchange the platform currency with a digital currency in the international market, and then go to Huobi.com to withdraw cash to obtain profits. When you withdraw cash, you will be charged a handling fee. For example, if you withdraw within 28 days, you will be charged a 5% handling fee. If you withdraw after 28 days, you will only be charged a 1% withdrawal handling fee.
It was officially launched on May 1, 2018, and the plus wallet trading platform was launched in October. It collapsed in June 2019. After running for more than a year, this disk package became one of South Korea’s Team operation is actually driven by the Chinese. Six traders have been arrested by the Chinese police. This project has 1 million members participating and the funds involved reach 20 billion yuan.
Judging from the running time, this product has a long existence cycle, which should be beyond the imagination of many people at the beginning. The reasons are:
First, it uses What you invest in is virtual currency, and what you withdraw is also virtual currency. For these mainstream currencies, Leeks have better illusions, thinking that there is still a lot of room for appreciation, and it will be more profitable to keep them. Since it is just a matter of putting it forward, why not continue to put it in the plus wallet to get the profits? To a certain extent, it delays the time of large-scale withdrawals.
Secondly, Plus Wallet spent a lot of money on publicity. One moment it sponsored some blockchain conference, the next it talked about developing new products and launching new systems, and the next it talked about going public. The purpose of this crazy campaign is to exchange time for space.
Let me introduce you to several routines of blockchain wallets in detail:
Point 1,The so-called arbitrage cannot support your subsequent rebate income.
Because the real income from moving bricks is not a stable income, and it will not be as substantial as he described.
Like Plus Wallet, based on the rebate data before the crash, it needs 700 million yuan in rebates every day to continue operating, so this number is astronomical. Obviously there is no way to do smart arbitrage. If you think you can, then you have nothing to do with it. With such high skills in moving bricks, do you still need to rely on rewards to attract people? You can move it yourself, and there are big institutions rushing to invest, so there is nothing to do with you!
The second point is that the money returned by the platform to the people in front is mainly the funds coming in from behind, which is exactly the same as the characteristics of the fixed rebate plate.
If you want a promotion reward system with up to 10 levels, as well as super high rebates, you also have to pay high deposit interest. Therefore, soon the subsequent funds will not be able to keep up with the speed of rebates, and problems will arise in the capital chain. The platform will shut down and run away.
The third point is that the platform currency exchange channel for Bitcoin can be closed at any time. As for when to close, only the trader can decide, so you are faced with huge risks at any time.
Point 4: It is stipulated that you will be charged a 5% handling fee for withdrawals within 28 days, and you will only be charged a 1% handling fee for withdrawals after 28 days. This purpose is to allow you to extend the withdrawal time as much as possible , he can deposit more funds into the capital pool.
Originally, everyone entered the currency circle because it is a decentralized technology. You store the currency in a real wallet, and as long as you keep your private key, no one can take it away from you. assets.
As a result, you hand over decentralized assets to some centralized platforms far abroad.
Let’s analyze it from another angle
The private key is a 256-bit binary code, encoded into numbers and letters. Finally, it is mapped into words to facilitate memory, also called mnemonics.
Some wallets have different mnemonics. The mnemonic phrase for plus is a bunch of random characters. Some wallet mnemonics must be made in Chinese, etc.
In short, the core of the blockchain wallet is to allow you to deposit mainstream currencies into his wallet, and then return to you a lot of their platform coins. Your currency is money, and its currency can only be coins. If you recommend others to come here to deposit coins, you will also get promotion benefits. In fact, you can understand its essence if you think about it. It is the same as getting money back, but it is just using coins. Then I will tell you my capital flow. It is safe. You don’t have to worry about crashing or running away, because I don’t touch the money. Who am I kidding? Coins are not money, right?
If you want your mnemonic phrase to be different, change it.Can it be imported into other wallets? It's definitely not possible. Only your wallet can be used. Doesn't this become a completely centralized platform?
❷ Is blockchain investment true or false?
Legal objectivity:Article 123 of the "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China" states that civil subjects enjoy intellectual property rights in accordance with the law. Intellectual property rights are the exclusive rights enjoyed by obligees in accordance with the law with respect to the following objects: (1) works; (2) inventions, utility models, and designs; (3) trademarks; (4) geographical indications; (5) trade secrets; 6) Integrated circuit layout design; (7) New plant varieties; (8) Other objects specified by law.
Legal subjectivity:Blockchain technology itself is not a scam, but it does not rule out that some people use blockchain as a cover to commit scams. Several problems exist in blockchain: 1. The problem of excessive blockchain size. With the development of blockchain, the volume of blockchain data stored by nodes will become larger and larger, and the storage and computing burden will become increasingly large. The heavier. Taking the Bitcoin blockchain as an example, the size of its complete data currently reaches about 71GB. If a user uses the Bitcoin Core client to synchronize data, it may not be possible to complete the synchronization for three days and three nights. Moreover, the data of the blockchain The volume is still increasing, which brings a great threshold to the operation of the Bitcoin Core client. 2. The problem of blockchain data confirmation time. The current blockchain system, especially the financial blockchain system, has the problem of long data confirmation time. Taking the Bitcoin blockchain as an example, the current confirmation time of a Bitcoin transaction takes about 10 minutes. In the case of 6 confirmations, you need to wait for about 1 hour. Of course, for credit card transactions, the confirmation time is 2 to 3 days. Bitcoin has made great progress, but it is still far from the ideal state. 3. Dealing with the problem of transaction frequency The blockchain system faces the problem of too low transaction frequency. Taking the Bitcoin blockchain as an example, the average size of each transaction is about 250 bytes. If the block size is limited to 1MB, the number of transactions that can be accommodated is 4,000. Calculated at the rate of one block every 10 minutes, 144 blocks can be generated every day. Yunzhou can accommodate 576,000 transactions. Divided by the number of seconds per day, 86,400, the Bitcoin blockchain can process up to 6.67 transactions per second. trade. Currently, the actual daily transaction volume on the Bitcoin blockchain is close to the system bottleneck (picture). If the expansion problem is not resolved, it may cause congestion and delays in a large number of transactions. Average number of transactions in Bitcoin blocks (Source: Block Yuan) In comparison, Paypal's overall number of transactions in the third quarter of 2013 was 729 million, with an average of 93.75 transactions per second. Information from the official website of VISA, the world's largest payment card, shows that VisaNet achieved a processing capacity of 47,000 transactions per second in a 2013 test. Compared with several major payment networks such as Alipay, the Bitcoin blockchain is more like a newborn baby in terms of transaction processing frequency. Of course, this was also a deliberate design by Satoshi Nakamoto in the early days. The Bitcoin block size was limited to 1MB, in order to avoid the malicious behavior of rogue miners and have a negative impact on people. The reason why the Bitcoin blockchain payment network has grown to be worth billions of dollars today lies in its decentralization. 4. The development of blockchain is restricted by the current system. On the one hand, the decentralized and autonomous characteristics of blockchain dilute the concept of national supervision and have an impact on the current system. For example, digital currencies represented by Bitcoin not only pose a challenge to the country's right to issue currency, but also affect the transmission effect of monetary policy, weakening the central bank's ability to regulate the economy, causing monetary authorities to remain cautious about the development of digital currencies. On the other hand, regulatory authorities also lack full understanding and expectations of this new technology, and the establishment of laws and systems may lag behind, resulting in a lack of necessary institutional norms and legal protection for economic activities related to the use of blockchain, which inadvertently increases reduce the risks of market entities. 5. The integration cost of blockchain technology and existing systems is relatively high. For any innovation, existing institutions must ensure that it can not only create economic benefits, but also comply with regulatory requirements and connect with traditional infrastructure. Especially when deploying a new basic system, the cost of time, manpower, and material resources is very large, and the resistance encountered within existing traditional organizations is also not small. Of course, the existence of problems cannot hinder the development of blockchain. The proposal and in-depth research of technologies such as simple payment verification, side chain, and lightning network protocols have provided ideas for solving the above problems.
❸ Several people around me have been deceived by blockchain
Nowadays, the concept of "blockchain" is very popular, and blockchain scams are also coming. Many people who dream of getting rich overnight are brought into the "cage" because of their ignorance and become "leeks". Harvest.
Trap 1: Blockchain is about issuing coins to make money
Fraud tricks
Blockchain is an epoch-making technological change. This is to guide you through The last train on the road to wealth and freedom.

Today, if you invest in our ××× coins, you can quickly achieve financial freedom.
The truth
Equating "blockchain" with "issuance of currency" is a stolen concept. Blockchain is a technology, and currency issuance is an act derived from blockchain technology. At present, the vast majority of blockchain applications that focus on issuing and speculating coins are suspected of illegal fund-raising.
Trap 2: Buying coins with the promise of high returns
Fraud routine
If you miss ten thousand times of Bitcoin, you will also miss ten thousand times of ××× coins ? ×××coin is more powerful than Bitcoin, and its potential is infinite!
The truth

But the key point is that if the rewards were really that great, I would have made a fortune long ago. How could it be your turn to be a non-relative? You are not his father!
Trap Three: Decentralization can solve all problems
Fraud Routine
Join us, decentralized blockchain will change the world! We currently live in a centralized world: when you transfer money from the bank, you need to transfer it from the central system; when you make suggestions to the company, you need to report to the supervisor first... If it is decentralized, you can bypass the center and directly Do what you want to do, and there will no longer be a center to constrain you. Isn't this a way to change the world?
The truth
Decentralization is one of the most valuable features of the blockchain, but this feature is achieved by sacrificing its network efficiency, which not only decentralizes but also improves efficiency. There is currently no perfect solution. Moreover, decentralized applications are not suitable for all fields. It is a misunderstanding and trap to regard decentralization as "universal".
Trap 4: Having a white paper means practical application
Fraud tactics
In order to gain the trust of the masses, scammers will often release a white paper and Promote: "Utopias that are divorced from reality are useless. We are a project with real applications. And we have released our own white paper."
In the white paper presented, the founding team's Each member has a high degree of overseas education and has won a certain award; the technology of the project is described as very mature and has been applied. However, most of the white paper is written in English, and some technical terms are also difficult to understand.
The truth
In fact, if you look online, you will find that the academic qualifications of many team members are lies. In addition, blockchain technology is still in its early stages, and it is difficult to implement its applications. If you rely solely on a white paper to claim that there is an application, it is a kind of deception in itself.
Trap Five: Celebrity Platform is a Good Project
Fraud Routine
Some people say that blockchain applications are difficult, but our project is different from others. It is obviously better than other projects, which can be seen from the background strength behind us. You see, here are the famous investors ××× and ×××. They are blockchain technology experts and are very well-known in the industry. You can check their information online and you will know how powerful they are.
The truth
Looking for celebrity platforms has become a common fraud routine for many "blockchain scams". Because he doesn't have much strength, he can only rely on celebrities to "support the scene." Moreover, the possibility of celebrities being "touched" is not ruled out.
Trap 6: You can make money just by having a mining machine
Fraud routine
In addition to buying our tokens, you can also buy our mining Machine, lie down and make money. Our tokens can be produced through this mining machine, and when the tokens are circulated in the market, we can wait for appreciation and make money.
The truth
First of all, the mining machineMining requires costs, consumes a lot of electricity, and the electricity cost is very high. Secondly, although you can get some tokens through mining, the price of the tokens will continue to fluctuate, and you may lose a lot of money.
In addition, ICO has been banned by the country, but in order to achieve the purpose of issuing coins, some blockchain projects have come up with the idea of selling mining machines to allow investors to mine and hold coins. This IMO method has been characterized as a "disguised ICO" and is also an illegal fund-raising behavior.
Trap 7: Collecting coins for WeChat transactions
Fraud routines
Some people make their circle of friends very impressive, making novice users feel trustworthy. The credibility is very high. Then he pretends to be a user who collects coins off-site and asks the other party to transfer the token first and then pay. After receiving the token, he turns his back and refuses to recognize the person, and then continues to look for the next prey.
The truth
Since the current token address cannot be associated with the user's identity, it is basically impossible to retrieve it after being deceived. Moreover, virtual currency is not legal tender. Even if the police call the police, the case will not be filed.
Summary reminder
The "high-end" blockchain is not something ordinary investors can play with. In the face of obscure professional terms and myths about wealth, it's best to stay away.
Moreover, the tricks of scammers are also advancing with the times, and they will use various means to improve their deception capabilities. Investors should remain vigilant and never be fooled by exaggerated profit returns and "celebrity effects". They must remember: high returns come with high risks, and prudent investment is king!
Excerpted from the Internet
❹ Is blockchain a scam?
The reason why the word blockchain was first mentioned was because Bitcoin came into people’s sight Later, with the fermentation of Bitcoin craze and the proliferation of topics, blockchain has become a familiar topic to the general public. It once became a greeting among entrepreneurs (Are you doing blockchain? Is your entrepreneurial project related to blockchain? ? Wait) The application of blockchain in the market is now very crowded, and ordinary people’s concept is almost stuck in the stage of speculation. What is blockchain? Is blockchain a lie?
From a global perspective, it is not only our listed companies, shareholders, everyone in the currency circle and investors who are fascinated. In 2016, Citibank, BBVA, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Swiss Leading financial institutions such as Bank of China have jointly established the R3CEV Alliance (Goldman Sachs Group has now separated from the R3CEV Blockchain Alliance). Therefore, from this perspective, blockchain technology has been applied to a certain extent around the world. At this level, blockchain It is a new invention, and I am not lying. Many readers are curious why many people now hear that blockchain (digital currency) is like a scam. Buffett said: Stay away from Bitcoin, it is just an illusion. In my opinion, it has great intrinsic value The idea is a joke.
The author believes that there are no correct mistakes in technical books, but the application macro practitioners think that the correct mistakes are correct. Many people envy the currency circle (application of blockchain) to make a fortune overnight, but forget that returned to poverty overnight (its multi-currency operationsThe method is the same as that of the silver spot stamp cards at that time). This should be people’s most intuitive concept of the blockchain.
What is the blockchain? Is blockchain a lie?
The definition of blockchain in the Internet Encyclopedia is a new application model of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm. The consensus mechanism is to realize the connection between different nodes in the blockchain system. Mathematical algorithms to establish trust and obtain rights and interests.
❺ What are the financial scams in the blockchain and how to spot them
With the continuous development of social economy, in our In real life, we always encounter various problems, especially scams about blockchain fund fraud, which makes every one of us investors hate it very much. Next, the editor will Let us take a look at how we can spot blockchain funding scams when we encounter them, and how to prevent these scams.
To sum up, we can clearly know that blockchain funding scams often have these types of scams, so when we find that these types of scams exist, Sometimes, we must not believe it, and in the process of investment, we must invest in regular big brands and big projects, and do not casually believe in the high returns that someone brings to us. This is all Fake.
❻ Is the blockchain investment platform a scam?
Blockchain investment itself is not a scam, but its price formation mechanism is opaque, which can easily cause huge losses to investors and lacks supervision. , and therefore may become a scam. If investors are defrauded due to blockchain investment, they can defend their rights against the exchange and the project party. Any behavior that constitutes fraud or other crimes should be reported promptly, and the judicial authorities will investigate the corresponding criminal liability.
[Legal Basis]
Article 3 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" If the law expressly stipulates that the act is a crime, it shall be convicted and punished in accordance with the law; if the law does not expressly stipulate that the act is a crime, it shall not be convicted and punished. Article 13 All activities that endanger national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security, split the country, subvert the power of the people's democratic dictatorship and overthrow the socialist system, undermine social and economic order, infringe upon state-owned property or property collectively owned by the working people, and infringe upon the private rights of citizens All property, infringement of citizens' personal rights, democratic rights and other rights, as well as other behaviors that are harmful to society and should be punished according to the law are crimes, but if the circumstances are obvious and minor and the harm is not great, they are not considered crimes.
❼ Is blockchain a scam?
Blockchain is a scam. I hope that everyone will not rush to invest in those Ponzi schemes, and do not have fantasies in your mind, because the window of time to get rich overnight has long been closed, and the ordinary people who come in now are very miserable and will be cut off. , everyone must respond to the government’s call and not be defrauded of illegal fund-raising.
❽ Nine out of ten blockchains are scams
Ponzi scheme is a term used to defraud investment funds in the financial industry.The ancestor of the Pyramid scheme, many illegal rumor mills use this trick to amass money. This type of scam was "invented" by a speculator named Charles Ponzi. The Ponzi scheme in our country is called "removing the east wall to pay for the west wall" or "borrowing chickens to lay eggs". To put it bluntly, it is to use the money of new investors to pay loan interest and short-term profits to old investors in order to create the illusion of making money and thereby obtain a large amount of investment funds.
The assets on the blockchain have just entered the stage of explosion, lack of reasonable management and control, and market management is still in its infancy, so it is the most likely place for Ponzi schemes to appear. If 10% of financial products in the traditional world are Ponzi schemes, then the blockchain world has gone backwards, and now 90% are Ponzi schemes!
In fact, blockchain always has this One potential handles things, so there is no need for intermediary services, so many intermediary costs will be reduced. The blockchain solves a problem of trust in blockchain technology. For example, the payment wallet we are using now is all a Centralized.
When you are not a professional and your risk-taking ability is not high, then you are definitely not suitable for today’s blockchain venture capital circle. Because the proportion of Ponzi schemes is too high, 9 out of 10 are scammers (although the elite team does not feel that they are scammers, in fact they have engaged in deception).
However, we also need to be more objective. Although 90% of the market is Ponzi scheme, many people did make a fortune last year by investing in blockchain, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. , NEO have all risen a lot, and even some gas coins and "MLM coins" have made money.
There are very few people who really make big money by owning blockchain assets. The chance of winning is the same as buying a lottery ticket. Don’t be deceived by the illusion!
