tapped the upvote, but this screams ponzi or pyramid scheme. .. could be wrong, ad that wouldn't bug me... but man... this yest sets off all kinds of red flags

Yup, I understand your concern, especially since the recent BitConnect exit. Something that eased my concerns before getting into Lisk was researching the team behind it. I would recommend you research the team behind Lisk as well. They're a solid team and are providing a ton of value to the crypto community.

Also, something to note about this is that I don't see this "Get Rich Quick" scheme, but rather something that builds slowly over time, just like a stock dividend. If I thought this was like one of those schemes, I definitely wouldn't have created this video.

Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a risk getting involved with Lisk, but after researching the management team, team vision, and goals I personally see a future.

Also (and I probably should have mentioned this in the video), this process is also known as "Proof of Stake" (Lisk), rather than "Proof of Work" (Bitcoin). There's a lot of debates about which system is better. Also, I believe Ethereum is looking towards moving to Proof of Stake.

Hope that helps!
