Introduction: Bitcoin is skyrocketing, blockchain is on fire, some people jump into the big hole dug by others with the dream of getting rich overnight.
K-bit coins first appeared in December 2015. This MLM organization collectively refers to its "MLM + speculating currency" products as "GMK", and the speculated currency is K-bit currency. In mid-2016, CCTV revealed that GMK and other models were pyramid schemes, and later renamed "TCD".
"There are a lot of wild vegetables in our countryside, especially this toon is very delicious and fragrant." Uncle Yang smashed his mouth, and the table was full of steaming meals. His wife, son, daughter-in-law, and 4-year-old granddaughter sat around the table.
This is a small village in Huairou, Beijing. My colleagues and I drove 70 kilometers to get here.
Uncle Yang, who is nearly 60 years old, works in a state-owned enterprise near the countryside of Huairou. He is just an ordinary employee of property management.
The surface of the banquet was peaceful, but behind it was the "one game" set up by my son and daughter-in-law.
All of this is due to the fact that Uncle Yang fell into a kind of pyramid scheme and was poisoned too deeply.
He believes that by 2020, one of his coins will be a villa.
"A feng shui master gave me a calculation, and I will definitely rise to the top in the future. It seems that this is the coin."
Uncle Yang smiled and blossomed, but we here were deeply worried.
01 Father's Abnormal
Since coming into contact with MLM coins, Uncle Yang has had many strange behaviors.
For example, every day at 1 o'clock in the morning, when the alarm clock rings, Uncle Yang will get up on time, turn on his mobile phone, and start various operations;
"Every day when I get home from get off work, my dad stuffs himself in the room." Son Xiao Yang continued to recall, "I listened to the audio inside on the kang, I listened and listened, and my heart was full of excitement";
Like many thin rural uncles, Uncle Yang rarely speaks at the dinner table. But when it comes to buying coins, I instantly become refreshed and my eyes start to shine.
Although his monthly income is less than 4,000 yuan, Mr. Yang has invested nearly 60,000 yuan in currency speculation.
The son refused to give the money, so he overdrafted 4 credit cards. Xiao Yang said that tens of thousands of yuan can actually be repaid, and he is afraid that the old father will get usury again, and it will really be a bottomless pit.
The blockchain MLM organization that Uncle Yang is involved in is spread all over Henan, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hunan and other places, specifically targeting middle-aged and elderly people.
Since its launch on December 8, 2015, there are currently 1 million "members", and its influence will be further expanded.
Xiao Yang especially hopes to use the media to expose this pyramid scheme and let his father return to his normal life.
02 Violent dismantling of K products
These incomprehensible behaviors for ordinary people are all because Uncle Yang has fallen into a MLM currency - K commodity (K bitcoin).
▲The official website of kitcoin
K-bit coins first appeared in December 2015. This MLM organization collectively referred to its "MLM + speculating currency" products as "GMK", and the speculated currency was K-bit currency.
In mid-2016, CCTV revealed that GMK and other models were pyramid schemes, and later renamed "TCD".
The K product promotion model relies on attracting people to buy orders (pyramid sales) in the early stage, and profiting by speculating on coins in the later stage (there is a sense of community).
▲TCD's official introduction PPT
In a word: we are the most powerful currency in the world, combining the advantages of all currencies.
The twin brothers Wang Liqing and Wang Liping, directors of TCD China, won the champion of The Voice of China in Anhui in 2015, and now they have successfully crossed over to the blockchain.
▲The brothers who jumped from the entertainment circle to the currency circle
The singer turned to preaching, which is also considered a dimensionality reduction blow.
▲ Wang's daily speech
Son Xiao Yang showed the video to reporters. He was very emotional and said angrily, "Like a dog! They didn't tell me that. If they want to tell me, I'll punch when I go up."
Don't underestimate K products, not only websites, wallets, github upload codes, but also business schools.
There are hundreds of lecturers here, and these uncles and aunts take turns to answer the "investment" questions of "K commodity families" 24 hours a day.
Every day at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., give speeches and share courses on time, and N groups broadcast synchronously to fight chicken blood. Active group replies and neat queues kill many business schools in seconds.
▲Aunt lecturer, I will ask you if you are convinced
This is one of their many "flickering tricks".
Catch the east wind of the blockchain, and then coupled with the marketing, it smells like getting rich.
However, the target group of K commodities is middle-aged and elderly people, teach them about blockchain and fool them into buying coins? How exactly did this happen.
03 Entering the station
Back in December 2016, Uncle Yang, who lives in the Huairou countryside of the "Seventh Ring Road" in Beijing, began to enter the pit under the introduction of his neighbor, Sister Ma: "Old Yang, I have an opportunity to make a fortune, and the money is coming soon, are you interested? ?"
Sister Ma is Uncle Yang's friend and a warmhearted neighbor. She usually likes to drink tea and chat with her, and she has some prestige and persuasion in the village.
It is said that "the urban routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside", but in fact "the rural roads are slippery, and people's hearts are more complicated".
When Uncle Yang heard that he had made a fortune, he suddenly became energetic.
Sister Ma went on to say: "I'll give you the first order, and there are not many places to enter the list (it is said that the number of places to enter the list is limited, it is a conventional method to attract people to enter the order). One order is only 2,000 yuan, and you need to smoke two packs of cigarettes less. I don't feel bad about playing two cards. Ask the teacher to teach us a lesson, and you will understand gradually."
"What is 'incoming order'?" Uncle Yang was a little puzzled.
"Actually, I'm not quite sure, but we have a teacher, so you'll understand after giving you a class." Sister Ma said firmly.
"The 2,000 yuan can still afford it, what if I really get rich?" Uncle Yang, who was eager to get rich, weighed it in his heart, and his worries disappeared.
K Commodity claims that as long as the order is 2,000 yuan, the dividend will be $1.8 per day for 130 consecutive days. There is also a steady stream of commissions for the development of "offline".
In order to explain this high rate of return, they declared to the public: "People who don't believe in this rate of return must be very backward. People who heard about Bitcoin have already doubled it by 20,000 times."
"But now, the price of Bitcoin is already very high, it's not worth playing, and it's not worth it. This K commodity is better than Bitcoin and Ethereum."
With the pre-orders, the next step is brainwashing training, online sharing, and offline activities.
They are well aware of the psychological weaknesses of the elderly, talk about general trends, and talk about policies.
Uncle Yang's incoming orders are also slowly increasing.
The daughter-in-law told reporters: "My dad has been in contact with him for a year and a half, and he still doesn't know what blockchain is. He just talks to them about trends and national policies!"
This group of middle-aged and elderly people who have witnessed the rapid development of reform and opening up knows the importance of opportunities.
In the Internet age, their research capabilities are relatively lacking. It is precisely by grasping such a mentality that it is most likely to be fooled by the rhetoric of "state support", "future" and "trend".
K-bitcoin makes extensive use of CCTV, People’s Daily and other authoritative media’s reports on blockchain and Bitcoin to persuade middle-aged and elderly people to admit this trend.
"My dad even went to Thailand to attend a K-merchandise conference in Bangkok."
Son Xiao Yang told reporters that his father went abroad with other group friends and participated in a gathering of tens of thousands of people, "I just go to teach you a class, see the mining machine, meet the founder, give awards to those who have made great contributions, and continue. Buy, buy, buy."
The reporter asked Uncle Yang for confirmation on this matter.
Recalling his trip to Thailand, he laughed hard, and the folds on his face deepened, full of pride and pride: "The venue is next to the office of the Prime Minister of Thailand, we were late, and the Thai police still opened the way. Woolen cloth."
The daughter-in-law added: "My dad came back and told us that there were tens of thousands of people at the venue, all of whom were 'K merchandise family members' from all over the country, and many of them were foreigners. The clothes worn in different places are different. Our Beijing area wearing blue clothes."
▲A number of regional members wish the Thailand Forum a success
When blockchain projects go abroad to assemble, on the one hand, they show their internationalization and are labeled as "tall and high", and on the other hand, they also evade domestic supervision.
Another point is that most of these rural middle-aged and elderly people have never seen the world. They have a sense of participation and pride when they go abroad to participate in conferences.
▲The scene of the Thailand Summit Forum in August 2017
After the trip to Thailand, Uncle Yang is even more convinced of this. Without the family's knowledge, they secretly took their ID cards and "paid bills" for their son and daughter-in-law.
Uncle Yang still carried his family behind his back and did not "publicize" with other coin speculators. He secretly bought another 10,000 coins from others.
The son Xiao Yang and his daughter-in-law did not dare to give him more money when they saw that his father was so deeply involved. But they didn't expect that even though the monthly salary was only three or four thousand yuan, the uncle Yang from the countryside was beyond their imagination - cashing out with a credit card.
The daughter-in-law said that she was very shocked: "I don't know if those group friends taught him. We have a POS machine at home, and our father asked my husband to swipe the card to cash out. After further questioning, I found out that he had made 4 cards. Credit card. Cash out 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and use all of them to buy coins."
Xiao Yang and his daughter-in-law can't imagine that if they continue to develop further, whether their father will find a loan shark with an ID card...
Thinking of this, their resentment towards their neighbor, Sister Ma, became a little more.
04 Falling into a scam
Uncle Yang, who is in his 50s, still insists on getting up at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night every night and landing on the mysterious official website on time.
The daughter-in-law explained: "It is to exchange various tokens for points, and the points are exchanged for tokens. It is to waste your own time and let you play by yourself. The rules are designed like a book from heaven, and they also say that you can exchange points for mobile phones, cars, etc. all kinds of things."
After a year and a half of tossing, Xiao Yang said: "My dad really went to change a mobile phone, saying that it was a custom phone in cooperation with Huawei. As a result, it has been a year and the mobile phone has not been affected. Later, the person from K Commodity said again. , that phone is not good." Son Xiao Yang added.
The family tried many times to persuade Uncle Yang not to get deeper and deeper.
Uncle Yang always waved his hands and was very confident, leaving only one sentence: "Wait until 2020, then I will make money. Otherwise, you will not believe me." (The official repeatedly emphasized that 1 K bitcoin in 2020 will reach RMB 140,000)
For a while, he tried desperately to persuade his father to quit. Uncle Yang always answers: "I don't listen to you. By 2020, I will sell K-bitcoins."
The son asked, "Who are you selling it to?"
My father always replied: "When the time comes, it will be fired, and some people are willing to buy it."
The son knew very well in his heart that the people around his father were all working-class people, and they earnestly earn money without dreaming of making a fortune. I know that this thing is a lie, how can I pass it on.
"Dad, why don't we exchange some coins first, and then we'll get our money back. We'll put the rest in."
The father said very firmly: "That's not good! I'm running out of money!"
The son and daughter-in-law have already confessed to the 60,000 yuan that their father speculated in coins. What they are most worried about is the day when their father wakes up from his sweet dream.
"If that day does come, what my father is so proud and confident will eventually come to nothing. Will he worry about how his family thinks of him and how people around him think about him? He wants to save face, and it will be very troublesome then."
"Money is second. I heard that many elderly people are too excited to play mahjong, and they have a heart attack. When the time comes, my dad can't accept what to do."
This became the couple's biggest worry.
05 Reasons behind the madness
Uncle Yang is so crazy, and behind it is a gentle heart.
Listening to various videos and audios every day, getting up at 1 o’clock in the middle of the night and logging on to the official website to do various “tasks”, going to Thailand to participate in conferences, secretly taking the ID cards of my son and daughter-in-law to “pay”, and opening 4 credit cards to cash out...
Son Xiao Yang understood the reason why his father acted so crazy: "My father always felt that he owed me."
"Since I was 18 years old, I went to Beijing by myself, and I didn't spend a cent of his money." Xiao Yang lit a cigarette, then sighed again, and then said, "He doesn't think he is like other fathers. There is no wealth left for the children."
Therefore, Uncle Yang especially wanted to leave a proud wealth to his children through his own abilities.
Uncle Yang said to Xiao Yang more than once: "Son, just wait. In 2020, I will drive you a luxury car. What kind of Mercedes-Benz BMW, Porsche Cayenne or something."
People live their whole lives and always want to leave something for their children. K-bitcoin pinned the last hope of Uncle Yang.
……
Like the original Wuxing coin, K bitcoin is a pyramid selling coin. If you have middle-aged and elderly people who are easy to enter the game, please share it with him and plan ahead.
