Hi All I am very new. Started following this week. If an one want the link here is mine.
Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

Here is my invite link: https://initiativeq.com/invite/r7TXdLj2m

This link will stop working once I’m out of invites. Let me know after you registered, because I need to verify you on my end.

Imagine what would happen if everyone who signed up made the claimed sum of money? Total worldwide global meltdown.

It's clever marketing that makes you think that you don't want to miss out but really, do you think you'll see anything here? Looks like these guys have just made a verified global mailing list, look forward to some junk emails.

Sorry guys, it's a scam.

The volumes of sign ups are so high that the trade volume would need to be enormous for people to receive any meaningful return. Even if you compare to bitcoin total trade values, each of the 3m or so people that have signed up would only receive around 1/100th of a dollar per quarter back. It's a pyramid and the aim is to create a new way of paying for goods and services, but it's not yet real and it's not yet on the blockchain so there's a massive way to go before it does anything. With numbers comes weight and the founders are relying on creating a big voice.

I'd be wary of giving them meaningful data so use a 2nd email address for now. There will come a time that more data is required and that's when the large volume of users will be cut down. That qualified data is only protected while InitiativeQ exists, when they are restructured, the data protection falls off and now all that information can be used by the highest bidder.

I think these are some very clever people indeed and they will have got themselves big time jobs for life out of this if nothing else. But for us mere mortals, the lure of free money is never true.

Why is it a Scam? Do you have proof? Read the privacy policy and also no money has been paid.

Look at bitcoin.... No one thought that would come. What's $2 trillion anyway?

It's a scam because the numbers can't work. To build a currency capable of paying anything worthwhile to millions of "early adopters", the impact would cause extreme upset to established payment methods. That's not what happened with bitcoin. The very top of the tree could make from this but no platform could support the volume of sign ups that this has. Come on, do you really think that there will be value for nothing here for everyone? You just want to believe that which is what makes it so clever.

I’m not thick but I can’t get my head around crypto. Snake oil to me.

Also despite ludicrous claims of six figure gains in a few months by people I’ve spoken to, none have shown proof and none have retired.

There must be some making huge gains but I reckon it’s a low number. Like Forex or guaranteed betting systems.

But surely a SCAM involves trying to or actually creaming money off someone? This is purely a concept from a guy who sold his business to Paypal. It's pie in the sky right now but it could very well become a reality.

Do you think he's not trying to cream money here? I'm sure he's just doing it for the craic.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. By the way, I signed up a couple of weeks ago from a shell email address. I won't make a penny but it's interesting to watch it unfold nonetheless.
