Kinda like crypto. I mean the best example of a complete fraud is the Fozzle-Quark, which promised all the tangible benefits of ether in a totally anonymous package. Mining was performed by playing Asteroids or Pac-Man. To mint a coin (one side was Pac-Man the other Asteroids) you had to play equal time on both games and hit high score FROM THE SAME IP ADDRESS within 24 hours. Man that had legs. Soooo many people bought into it. I had 2 lambos in my sights on launch day.
