Some time ago, a picture of Chinese aunts appearing on the scene of the blockchain conference became popular on the Internet. For a while, it caused a heated discussion. Netizens said one after another: "aunts have been targeted by the blockchain." In fact, since a few years ago, when the concept of blockchain came out, there have been some illegal elements carrying out pyramid selling activities in the name of blockchain, which has become one of the latest varieties of pyramid selling. In fact, with the development of blockchain, all kinds of virtual currencies emerge as the times require. Most of them are scams. In the name of "virtual currency" and "blockchain", swindlers carry out scams. This is mainly to make use of the psychology that investors do not understand virtual currency and blockchain, but want to catch up with the upsurge of virtual currency investment. This kind of scam seems complicated, but it is also very simple. However, once it is cheated, it is difficult to recover the investment
in a word, blockchain technology is not a fraud, but is used by swindlers to cheat investors by using information asymmetry
