WARNINGHere is a list of crypto ponzi schemes and people who are/were promoting them on YouTube (self.CryptoCurrency)

submitted 3 days ago * by PM_PoutineAltcoinerx2

I originally posted this here, and it was suggested that I make a separate text post for it.

This started as a list of ponzi schemes only, but I've also found some pyramid schemes, (and quite a few that I think are both), so I've added them here as well. The ponzi and pyramid schemes currently around (that I'm aware of) are:

Note that the above coins/services are only ones that I think are very likely to be ponzi/pyramid schemes (it's difficult to be 100% sure). There are many other scams out there, but I haven't included them here because many of them are controversial, so deciding with great certainty if some are scams would be much more difficult, and because making this post is already a lot of work.

I had a list of people here who were promoting some of the above scams on Youtube, but I've decided to remove it at least temporarily as some users suggested. For now, I'll work on adding to the above lists, then in the next few days I'll probably (at least partially) restore what I've removed along with additions that people posted in this thread. If you really want to see the list of youtubers I had here, send me a PM. And for those who have sent me a PM that I haven't responded to yet, be patient, I'm taking a break now and I still have messages that I haven't had time to read yet.

I'd also like to make a special shout out to coinmarketcap.com for advertising Bitconnect and possibly other coins listed above, and I'd like to thank the following Redditors for contributing to these lists:
