I'm always shocked at the size of these scams. Like there have been so many notorious scams already for "coins" that...hold no intrinsic value whatsoever. And yet people keep diving into the new cryptocurrencies and putting it all on black in the hopes of winning big.
They are appealing to human nature because it is absolutely human nature to gamble in the hopes of winning big and these scammers take serious advantage of that. Something for nothing is always extremely interesting.
