Hey, that's opportunism for you. If you had a camera, some recording software, a few hundred $$ and uploaded videos frequently, you could become a pyramid top too. Lots of people are doing it right now and exchanging codes. The only ones who get really upset are the ones who don't read the rules before getting into it. If you understand that it'll take a year to get your money back, and that you need to get people to use your codes to make a profit, then I don't see a problem with it. I don't know whether there's any truth to the "trading bot doesn't exist" claim, but I will research it. There's also people saying that Genesis Mining (similar operation) isn't really giving you mining power. Why would they do that when they can just mine for themselves? People say they simply buy and sell the top crypto currencies, but who knows.. The fact is that people DO make a profit, but that requires work and throwing people under the bus, be it them doing it voluntarily and with full knowledge of how it works, or innocent viewers who get hyped up and want to make some money without thinking and researching first.
