Smoke.io / Smoke.network
Now.. Obviously I love to smoke bud, hence the name.
So when I first heard about the Smoke.io network/blockchain/etc, I got excited!
Then, I noticed something fishy about it.
I did a little bit of research and found some inconsistencies.
At first glance, it doesn't seem that anything is out of order.
However... If you look on their homepage, you'll see something a bit disturbing...
Might be a bit hard to see, so I'll blow it up a little for you...
Now, as you can see.. If anyone knows of Wu Tang, Raekwon D(a) Chef, is a popular member. He is very active on twitter. Yet... there is and has never been any post made by him about the smoke network or coin...
It's a deception...
A simple letter replaced (a to e) and most would be easily fooled without a second thought...
After seeing this, I started to HIGHLY doubt the credibility of the "platform" and with good reason.
Upon further investigation, I found out where that post was actually made and by whom.
It was a farce.
As you can see, the post was ACTUALLY made on someone else's account and probably got taken down because they were trying to impersonate Raekwon Da Chef...
This is very disturbing to me. I'm beginning to wonder whether there is any actual legitimacy to the coin or not and whether there will actually even be a release or not... or, as with a lot of things in crypto... if this is yet another SCAM about to take place...
I'll let you decide for yourselves, but to me, this seems like a very bad sign. It was either meant to deceive people or it was meant to generate false HYPE for the coin/blockchain. Either way, it is NOT a good look...
