New to Zig Forums. What coin was the biggest, most shameless scam in history? I could use a good laugh. (Serious answers, not coins people are still buying, please.)

bitcoin
Monero gold
Prodeum
XRP obviously
protip: all coins are a ponzi scam
It is XRP, nothing compares, so many bag holders to this day.
YAM
Xtrabytes hands down.

Proof of weak hands, transparent scam tho
Bitconnect
Honestly most coins
Chainlink
Ghost scammed more than half of the people on this board
Monero gold was a literal scam. It had nothing to do with monero at all and was eth based. They built up Twitter hype for several months then exploited a flaw in eth to allow them to rapidly expand the supply of coins and market dump them for profit before everyone else realized what was happening.
Prodeum was an exit scam and after jumping ship with their investors money they changed their website to say "penis"
This. It's the OG crypto scam and every scam ico pales in comparison. They are still dumping to this very day. Honorable mentions go to eos and cardano, lower tier would be binance and vechain.
Wooden handlets will always say XRP despite it still having 14 billion MC and all the proven partnerships and soon to come adoption of xRapid for remittances.
hello retardo
Wasa-wasa-wasa-wasuuuuuuuuuuup?
The Confido exit scam was a work of art
in terms of scale and bagholder size, it's xrp and it's not even close
Bitconnneeeeeeeeeeect
I forgot tether. Bootleg usd minted by chinese bitfinex which single handedly pumped btc to 19k and eth to 1.2k.
Those were the days just watching the tether mint 250m every day and just waiting for the pump. Once more mainstream places caught on and the 1:1 peg started to break everyone knew it was going to collapse. Honestly it was and still sort of is the most epic scam in the world. The federal reserve of crypto. Thank you tether
HEX. Literal ponzi coin whose purpose is "pumponomics, it just pumps bro!". I laughed so hard when it crashed to shit, yet despite all that, retards still buying in rn
$HEX was the most obvious, and is one of the largest still going. He literally named it Hex, as in a 'hex' on your money:

Richard Hart the founder, in part, is a victim of his own success. The scam is so large he can't just dissappear anymore. He is trying to legitimise the project, but never forget the basic principles of the project - your eth -> his personal wallet.
At least XRP and other scams had the decency to pretend to be a legit project...
If not Bitconnect, then probably Verge, aka DogecoinDark, aka Pornhub Coin
Nothing like buying into an ICO when the CEO is not even a real person cnbc.com
>after jumping ship with their investors money they changed their website to say "penis
God that's epic and based
Richard Hart is someone I have not heard in fucking years, I heard he was 'doing something' I guess it was HEX, does it surprise me that he made a literal ponzi scheme? No idea.
Careful there, you may anger the jannies
USD

I remember watching wraith protocol countdown waiting for price to skyrocket again. Depressing, such a noob.
Verge was a good one, TRON was originally a scam, but the chink saw he could make more money and made it legit.
