Bro give me a break, companies and corporations work with influencers every second of the day to help them get other people hyped for their product. Why do you think the founders tried to stay hidden and just put already public figures to lead the hype train? So that they wouldn't get hounded after they ran with the money.

Every coin with no realistic monetization path is essentially a ponzi scheme at this point, yet a quick look at steemit itself would show you there will always be people shilling for them and telling you the price will surely moon. At least trevon here stopped making assumptions on price a while ago.
