This post makes a call to action and a lot of claims while providing no evidence. Seems like click farming to me.

  Someone else here posted "Amway" and that's actually a pretty good response for one word. Amway is pretty much the poster child for shitty MLM companies. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows to stay away from that bullshit. Sure, it may be popular "now", but it's not here to stay. Sooner or later, the final rug will be pulled. Except it's been in business since 1959 and shows no sign of going out of business. So even if all of cryptocurrency was some form of scam. If every single coin was a ploy by people to simply extract money from others through less than honorable means, that does not mean it will ever go away. Because there would be unscrupulous people who will want to leverage it to take money from others. Those who think they're smarter than a system designed to screw them over. And those who simply don't recognize its faults even when they're pointed out. And that's not to say cryptocurrency is a scam overall. Just that even if it were, that would not stop it from being used. Or from being popular.

    Amway is an interesting example because it has connections at the highest levels of government. Richard DeVos was a top GOP donor and co-founder of Amway and could get policies and regulations changed in its favor.
