How do you tell the difference between an affinity scammer and a genuine convert?
Discussion
Where’s their money 💸? 🤔
Time.
"other coins have different use cases"
Time
Time saving: Using pub / private key authentication systems in the future. ;-p
Depends how much the price matters to them
Converts stay humble
Are they selling a separate currency while claiming to be about Bitcoin?
Um, the one's not asking you to deploy your capital to hold their ship steady lads
Time will tell who's into #Bitcoin for what reasons
Hi there! How's your trade going? 🤣
Pretty simple imo - genuine converts wouldn’t shill scams
So tough… when I first got into Bitcoin for real I came across pomp.
Turns out he’s no good and I pretty much only pay attention to Cory klippsten, you and a few others
What are they selling is a good place to start
Look at podcast sponsors or other projects they're interested in.
Lyn Alden vs. Raoul Pal
TFTC vs. Pomp
Also, don't be cynical and give unknown new voices time. Proof of Work + Verify.
Same as with regular scammers:
- Emotionally charged appeals
- Too good to be true proposals
- Lack of proofs
- High-pressure tactics
- Unsolicited contacts
- Requests for personal information or money
