To be honest, I have no clue what cryptocurrency is and I don't really care to know, but I would like to know. That's really contradicting but lets do this! The article is called CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMS ARE JUST STRAIGHT-UP TROLLING AT THIS POINT, by Louise Matsakis. First off, what is a cryptocurrency? Defined by Oxford Living Dictionary, a cryptocurrency is "A digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank." SO basically this article is about how digital currency are "trolling" people to buy more.
When I first read the title, I was not very interested but I clicked on it anyways. As I read through it i was becoming more and more interested. The article goes on to explain how Facebook is banning cryptocurrencies from advertising on their site. Later it talks about how some of these cryptocurrency sites pop and then disappear by a week later, maybe even less. For example, "Prodeum...a Lithuanian cryptocurrency startup that appeared online Thursday. By Monday, it was gone." These cryptocurrency sites are causing more harm than good and I want to know why they were causing harm when they were meant to be here for something good. the article is an interesting read, the link is down below!
