Different dragons I suspect, more likely sharks after a killing.
It's a brave man who put money into bitcoin.

I know two people that have put money into crypto and both have lost out

Think I’ll give it a miss, it’s far more comfortable sleeping on it

The specific currency in the advert mentioned in the original post is a scam. Google ‘bitcoin dragons den investment’ for more information.

Definate scam. Deborah meadon has even put a warning on her website. She was quoted in the scam as having been an interested dragon....

Search google for Bitcoin price chart to see what's happening with it, like most things it's heading downward at the moment, you pays your money and takes your chance. personally I wouldn't, but i'm not you. Had we been there at the start we might be very rich now.

I'll start off saying the same thing I say to anyone investing in anything, stocks, forex, crypto or otherwise.... Always do your own research and never rely on anyone to give to all or even the correct info.

Whilst it's up to you to decide on whether you think that bitcoin or any other crypto is a viable or not, the dragons den advert that's been doing the rounds is definitely a scam, designed to decieve newly interested people and those looking to get rich quick.

I hold 3 crypto’s.

I am still ahead but I bought them to hold for 10 years plus just in case they do become the next big thing.

The Blockchain technology behind all of this is definitely not a scam considering the many multinational companies investing into and developing solutions with the technology.

It is less clear whether the Crypto coins themselves will succeed especially as a store of wealth and even if they did it’s likely the vast majority will fall by the wayside, leaving a few big winners.

The “dragons” and ‘bitcoin loophole’ is a very clever scam, if clever is the correct word

The first point I'm making is the early adopters got in at say 50p...
The second point is ... where can you spend those Bitcoins... I mean for the general population..

Just some fun facts about Bitcoin from wikipedia.

In 2010, the first known commercial transaction using bitcoin occurred when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two Papa John's pizzas for 10,000 bitcoin

In 2011, the price started at $0.30 per bitcoin, growing to $5.27 for the year.

Todays price for Bitcoin appears to be $3879.53 and i believe at one stage it was over $19000. I bet Laszlo wished he hadn't spent his bitcoins on Pizza

I believe one of the reasons why there may be a demand for these is because apparently any transaction using bitcoin is untraceable because of the encryption used to prevent fraud.

forums at the click of a muse can stop all unwanted ads I am on another two forums as a full member and never see any googel scam ads

This is a common misconception for bitcoin. All transactions are "traceable" as they are linked and recorded an within the network.

Bitcoin offers pseudo-anonymity, i.e. if you take just one transaction from the network and don't know who sent or received it then it's relatively anonymous. However if find out someone's identity who owned the bitcoin in one of the transactions (say someone bought a car with it and gave their name and address) then you can start to track the ownership.

I have a good friend who invested heavily in them a few years ago. He now has a small fortune.






Although, I must admit, he started out with a Large Fortune

Where did you see the pitch?

 

[Scotch mist]

Where did you see the pitch?

On normal tv , think it was BBC1 , the app might have been called bit coin code ( can’t quite remember) , it seems loads of scammers are linking the dragons to their scam sites changing the name slightly
,eg Bit coin trader / bit coin loophole , there is lots on the net about it
, I even found one telling about all the scam sites & then directing you to his scam site , just can’t keep up with them lol
