Hiveway announces it's shutting it's doors
AFTER raising 108k dollars in ETH
With nothing more than a page of faces, a single blog post, a free Masto instance, a website, and a compelling PDF.
@starbreaker hahaha right?? That's like three years of income for me, adjusted for CAD.
Proof that all you need to make a buck is good copy, good design, and some loud (dumb) voices
Hiveway, going for private funding and probably under a new name, means being able to defraud investors and advertisers directly, without the elaborate hassle of trying to steal the publics cryptocurrency instead.
@Mainebot I support the mission of defrauding both those groups!
@Mainebot It's not as successful of a scam as Bitconnect. But still!
@Mainebot I am in the wrong business.
@espen possible, but their target was 10k ETH. If it was a fake counter, why not meet their fake target too?
@Mainebot Because it blew up in their faces and the branding is now too soiled. Officially they hit the abort button and shutting down but I suspect they have just gone to lay low, lick wounds and rebrand. They will be back again.
@Mainebot
Grand opening
Grand closing
@Mainebot so it was just a small-time grift
@Mainebot that was fast.
MOOOOVVVVVAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!
@Mainebot LOL! I read that as raising over 108K in METH.
@Mainebot i mean...they sure know how to make profit, amirite? 😂
@Mainebot Ever get the feeling you're doing something wrong?
@Mainebot pack everything up, move on to the next town!
@Mainebot hmm, but their Twitter account says: "Dear community, all contributions have been paid back. Thank you for your support."
@Mainebot I'm in the wrong line of work.
