  A very entertaining read. > "We have been very busy generating more than 100 unique cryptocurrencies ranging from disrupting the air-miles-loyalty industry to providing solutions to the cannabis industry." 100?! So they're just copy/pasting the Bitcoin source under different altcoin names, and calling it innovation? > "In order to purchase and support WEED anyone that sends 1 President Johnson coin ($GARY) to the Company’s Omni Layer Bitcoin Wallet will receive 1 WEED coin into their Omni Wallet." Wow.

    I am translating the White Paper of some of them, there is a lot of copy and paste. Including the advisor's bio. Some of this coins just invent important people are helping them, but they do not have any idea that Coin even exists.
