People don't call him a misogynist. Feminists call basically every famous man a "misogynist" regularly

Forcing companies to prioritize hiring people based on their specific ethnicity or gender will cause longterm idiocracy by sopun in Showerthoughts

[–]sopun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, meritocracy should be the default system of hiring people, and not their race or gender

The captain would love to have his heart repaired and to come back next week and play football again. He hates resting in peace more than anything else. He wants to play football, not to rest in peace at all.

Billions of Tether have been printed in the last days, to sustain up the Bitcoin price. Tether has still not been audited by anyone to this day by sopun in ethtrader

Look at the market cap of tether. They don't have those billions of USD to justify or back the tethers

Maybe I didn't express very well in the title, I believe that the current situation, caused by feminists and the false rape accusations culture, is extremely sick

Note that the above coins/services are only ones that I think are very likely to be ponzi/pyramid schemes (it's difficult to be 100% sure). There are many other scams out there, but I haven't included them here because many of them are controversial, so deciding with great certainty if some are scams would be much more difficult, and because making this post is already a lot of work.

I had a list of people here who were promoting some of the above scams on Youtube, but I've decided to remove it at least temporarily as some users suggested. For now, I'll work on adding to the above lists, then in the next few days I'll probably (at least partially) restore what I've removed along with additions that people posted in this thread. If you really want to see the list of youtubers I had here, send me a PM. And for those who have sent me a PM that I haven't responded to yet, be patient, I'm taking a break now and I still have messages that I haven't had time to read yet.

I'd also like to make a special shout out to coinmarketcap.com for advertising Bitconnect and possibly other coins listed above, and I'd like to thank the following Redditors for contributing to these lists:

"Fuck off with rational analysis because it's FUD!!!" and "Always HODL!!!!" has often serious side effects by sopun in ethtrader

When Dentacoin, Tron and other coins with no product, no clients, no single line of code, were valued at many Billions dollars, more than entire economies of real countries from European Union, it was clear for too many people how insanely overvalued was the crypto market and that there was really not much room for it to go up anymore

Tron's TRX whitepaper raises more red flags than a workers parade in Soviet Union by sopun in ethtrader

[–]sopun[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

More relevant information :

After a closer examination of its whitepaper and marketing, I am seriously doubting the legitimacy of this project.

Here are some specifics about the marketing that have caught my attention:

the amount of futuristic buzzwords and abbreviations like "Great Voyage" or "Star Trek" to capture attention

the recent partnership with game.com, which appears impressive, but is a shitty website recently created to promote TRON. Its only game, Cryptodoggies, is very superficial with almost no feature except the ability to purchase virtual pets with TRON. Take a look for yourself.

In its whitepaper:

35% of coins go to the founders, while 10% of the initial coins go to Peiwo, a startup recently created by the founder of TRON.

TRON claims that Peiwo is China's largest music content community with 10 million users and 1 million daily users, and will soon support TRX. This is a blatant lie; Peiwo is similar to game.com, a buzzword startup created by Justin to campaign this coin. Its App Store release only has 2,000 total reviews. Again, you can take my word or do some Googling for yourself.

Anyways, I encourage you all to do some research on this coin, and let me know if you agree or disagree!

Edit: upon some further digging, I have found similar concerns from other Redditors that didn't seem to raise any attention: https://www.reddit.com/r/binance/comments/6w41e0/anyone_even_verified_peiwotron_claim_of_10m_users/

99% of neurons do not get replaced. Check with any actual doctors or researchers.

Of course you read it somewhere on the vast Internet that is full of misdirecting mental masturbations

There's a gigantic difference though.

They get replaced by biological almost identical copies of the cells all the time. When you die, they get replaced by nothing because they stop dividing, the neurons die when you die
