Welcome to The Cryptocurrency Novice Report for Friday July 6, 2018.

Word to the Wise

Today on Word To The Wise, we take a look at a new cloud mining site called Hashtorin.

Hashtorin is offering 100Gh/s of free hash power to new subscribers and promises up to 12% daily return on your investment.

Unfortunately, Hashtorin does not have much of a track record on which to judge them since they have only been online for two days.

So before I jump in and make a mining investment in an unproven company, I thought it would be a good idea to look into them a little more. The first thing I checked was their management team.

The CEO and Founder, Harry Stevens seems to be a knowledgeable fellow with lots of experience in a variety of industries. For example, he is an insurance agent in New York.

He has human resources and Staffing experience.

He has also been an automobile salesman for a German auto company.

And as if that is not enough, to further his international credentials, he also works for a Brazilian logistics company. Boy, when does this man ever sleep?

So obviously the company is run by a mega over achiever and that should be enough to inspire confidence in most people. But just to be on the safe side, I decided to play it safe and checked into another management team member, David Rick, the Financial Advisor. He also has a commanding presence on the internet, appearing on many different companies websites.

Including Shutterstock, where he is a stock image...?

Oh, wait a minute. That means he is just a ... then the CEO isn't really a mega overachiever, but is also just a ... Oh dear, it seems I was almost fooled. These are not members of a real management team. They are just models whose pictures were stolen from the internet. Then that means Hashtorin is really just a SCAM! I'm sure glad I checked them out before I sent them any money.

Be safe. Don't fall for these fly by night scams that promise you so much to trick you into sending them your Bitcoin. Only invest in reputable companies that offer realistic returns.

Please note: I am not an investment professional. The information I present here is only my opinion. I do not encourage you to invest in any coin I mention, especially those featured in the Money for Nothing section, since most of these are not going to make it and may even be a scam. I only suggest you claim the free airdrops offered, nothing more.

Until next time...

Well at first I used to free join on cloud mining sites but as it seems after some time when you get to spend some time out in the crypto space than you do get to get ah hold of it !

Yeah, part of the scam, you get the free hash, but must deposit before you can withdraw. So scammy!

Good to see that steem is doing well at this moment and thanks for sharing about these scams which are going on time to be safe

Steem is holding up pretty well, but I wouldn't mind seeing it back up to $5 ;)

hhahha back to the moon that will be epic to see the rise of the giant

What are the possible effects of trade war between USA/China for bitcoin prices?

I would guess that a trade war would have a positive effect on the price of Bitcoin.
