How is a great product vision ‘mass adoption’? If you release a product, everyone wants widespread acceptance. No one is going to go ‘I’ve launched this great product, I hope no one uses it’.

You have come to a thread called ‘is Electroneum a scam’, did you think it won’t have strong opinions either side? A month down and it’s still botched, from the way they did it you would think that no one has ever launched a cryptocurrency ever and has nothing to learn from. I don’t think it’s a scam, I think it smells bad and something is not right or being kept from the users - even if it launched with the best of intentions that is waning now. There is so much hype and all the diehards are quoting things from the white paper which I recommend you read as it’s just a load of marketing bumph. Of course, all those who vehemently defend it have investments in the ICO or a holding - it’s human nature to defend what we have, just look at Apple/Android fanboys.

The real idea is not mass adoption. This is their strategy. Their tactic is the perma airdrop. And this is the brilliant part which differs them from others. Effects on price level are unclear at the moment

If electroneum was a scam, this post would of ended by now.

News on twitter say they have suspended accounts that belonged to the CEO, dont look good for Electroneum, or so it seems.

I am believe Electroneum is not scam..it's real project...just wait the next step from dev..to release this project after New Year...thanks...

Yes it seems thats why the CEO of electroneum deactivated his social media accounts.

I have some considerations for this project. I am too far away to be an expert on crypto coins. I have just started trading it recently (Used to trade on Forex for years). All the markets are based on supply VS demand. After days reading and re-reading posts, infos and as much as I can of important infos about ETN, I have concluded that:

1 - If ETN was a SCAM, I am pretty sure they would have not stopped the ICON at 40m and would have raised more and more money and disappear after that.
2 - Instead of disappear, they are trying to get better systems for us (Monero news) and they keep in touch with everyone via email, social media, groups, etc.
3 - NONE can predict a price. That's impossible. It's up, as I said above, to the demand.
4 - It's a real fact that crypto world is still very young and a small number of people know how to walk into it. Ok, a few people knows about the existence of crypto, but most of them don't have a clue how to buy, how to use, for what does it serves, etc. ETN is looking to the masses, if they get sucess on this, the demand will be definitely HUGE.
5 - It doesn't really MATTER if it will dump at the first days, months or years, If they get success introducing the masses to it, it will grow up organically. So HODL!
6 - I have seen a LOT of people crying around groups for not buying enough coins, they are really sorry for it.
7 - About dumping it: If I bought at 0.01, WHY THE HELL I would sell for less than that? Dont make sense! If people sell their bonusses for 0.01.. I am sorry for them... it will grow later and they will cry again.

I believe in the ETN purpose, I see their vision for the future. I am in this project for at least 5 years (Unless It reaches a good price before that).

Can anyone tell me what really concrete there is about Electroneum (taking away the mediatic appeal and the fireworks)?

Today I only see locked money, ICO irresponsible for lack of technical knowledge and no practical application (not even prototype).

All this together leads me to believe that this is nothing more than a scam.

Are you kidding? I doubt that you would invest today knowing that it would be this dark chaos

Not even in the nightmare would I imagine getting my investment supposedly locked up ... that's a great absurdity! A serious company would never make such a disgrace with its initial investor.

You do not think it's a SCAM because you're hoping to have your investment back ... I want your hope to come true, but at the present time, it's hard to believe it.
