Oh my, while my friend is quite a bitcoin enthusiast, he has been talking about this ponzi-scheme, which is a negative side of investing in alternative coins. While people think they're investing, and some might think they're investing into something which brings great opportunity to mankind, a lot of people walk away after realizing that they have been investing into something that has only been created to rip them off.
While this is a well-known and long talked topic, I still feel the grief of people who start to invest into coins with the hopes of gaining a bit of profit, not thinking of much to gain at all but at least a little.

I am glad that you posted this information and I'm looking forward to see more from you!
