Socrates once said I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing. There is a lot of truth to this in the sense that a wise person knows there is more that they don't know than what they do know. However, in our day to day lives, more people act in a way directly opposite to this notion. People pretend to know more to impress or confuse others and it could lead to unideal outcomes for those being manipulated. This would seem obvious, but you'll likely encounter a lot of people like this in your life and the simplest and fastest way to see through this is to have them answer questions about it. Someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about something will be happy to explain it, whereas someone who is fronting will likely come up with excuses rather simply answering.

I’ve talked a lot about crypto scams and sketchy projects in the past, but what I didn’t cover was the communities around them and their supporters. I’d like to address this now in this video while going through some examples of sketchy projects and how their communities operate. The 4 main projects I’m going to look at to cover a few different categories are Hex, Theta.TV, SoMee, and Whaleshares. This is my video previously talking about Theta.Tv – https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/Why-I-Don%E2%80%99t-Recommend-The-Theta-Network-1:e In summary, the Theta node owners are benefitting off of the adoption and publicity from the streamers and people using Theta.TV while at the users’ expense. This is my video talking about high value not equating to legitimacy – https://lbry.tv/@ScottCBusiness:4/scams:5 This is my breakdown of why I believe Hex is sketchy and don’t recommend it – https://read.cash/@scottcbusiness/why-i-sold-all-my-hex-8b609671 In summary, SoMee is sketchy to me because they misrepresent the value of their cryptocurrency and only allow you to withdraw your earnings or deposited funds from the platform after you pay to certify. *Correction: In the video, I said Paypal is used to certify on SoMee when actually they use Square. Also, I want to be clear, that if you certify you can withdraw your SoMee from the platform, but otherwise you cannot. Also, to clarify you can do whatever you want with ONG outside of SoMee.* Whaleshares previously scammed users and has a history of scamming, so should we trust that they are done with it? What do you think though? Are any of these scams? Am I wrong about anything I covered here? Is there something you’d like to see me cover? Let me know your thoughts in the comment below and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe! This is a statement from SoMee: "Scott, thank you for your insightful video, and thank you for watching out for the crypto community as a whole - it's important to realize that even projects with the BEST of intentions can sometimes seem to be slow to adopt or adapt to changes in the market, and to some, that can make them look sketchy or like a scam. To address a few minor points in your video about SoMee: What you earn on the platform is pegged to the price of ONG, so as that price changes, the value of what you earn changes as well. And, as is required by national and international law, before you can withdraw your points to ONG (crypto), you must go through verification. It's a single step verification that verifies your identity; once that passes, you can swap to ONG without issue, and do whatever you want with your crypto. We put the price at around $99 without buying a power up package because it stops scammers, and prevents them from profiting on our system. We will be implementing alternative ways to pay for the KYC (such as with crypto, somee points and ONG) in the near future. Please do keep up with SoMee at our official development blog: https://bit.ly/someedevs and continue to keep the community informed about your experience with Crypto Projects :)" ***This is a LBRY first video meaning it appears on LBRY at least 1 hour ahead of any other platform***
