I am a small fish but I can't let this go unsaid. Someone has to call him out. I used to like his videos they were informative and gave you actual facts.
Vincent is the self proclaimed Ethereum Evangelist with 8k subscribers on youtube.
The last three or more videos he has promoted coins with not alot going for them. They are not unique and there is no new news about the coins.
This blog is a follow on from the fake hype scams carried out on the below coins. I am not saying any of the coins are scams just the fake hype around them is. I do say CHC was a dead and abandoned coin though because it is true.
If you want more details on how it all went down check this one out.
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@evilmonkey/chaincoin-synx-safeexchange-cannabis-coin-new-pump-and-hold-hype-scams
His latest video has got me angry. He is recommending coins that are already primed or pumped with NO valid reasons to buy in.
He started off with CHC. On the 12 of July he tweets he got in . Right here it is dirt cheap around 80 cents, he says he puts in a small amount only 2BTC.
He goes on for ages and ages dribbling away, at this stage it is up around 90%. He mentions the whitepaper twice. When I researched this coin around the time his vid came out there was no white paper. There still is no white paper that I can see.
If you researched anything about CHC it told you it was an abandoned coin around 2-3 years ago. Basically dead. The only thing he mentions about this coin is it is a master node coin. Nothing else. What are the other reasons to buy in? There was none.
You can clearly see where the whales and inside people are accumulating coming up to the fake hype. Before this there was next to zero volume.
Because of Cyptopias terrible charting system it hid the dumps well. But not if you used other charts you can see the dumps like this 90% dump on 60million worth of coin. They also used fake hype to move people to SYNX which repeated the same process just faster.
Second he promotes Safexchange (SEC). There is nothing exciting going on with these guys. No news, no breakthrough tech and there is already other coins doing the same thing that we more developed. He talks about his ear to the ground or some bullshit. (more likely a shill for the pump groups).
Of course it is already partially pumped and it pumps then dumps but not too badly luckily. He claims 2000% gain. It barely made 200% and is well down from that now.
Then he promotes Dope coin (DOPE) 600-1000% gains in 10 days by the end of the month. Again no reason to promote it. Why would anyone make that claim with segwit etc coming. Again you notice high volume buy ins on this coin and all other marijuana coins before the release of the video, again it pumps a little bit then dumps back to almost 0% gain. Same with the rest of the weed coins as they follow each other.
He talks about a tip someone gave him and talking to the in crowd or some bollocks.
Video released somewhere around the blue mark on all weed related coins that had already been pumped. All the graphs look the same for these weed related coins.
And lastly the one that has got me pissed is his myriad coin. Again same pattern as before. This time the coin is a little bit pumped already has he and his group of low lifes whoever they are have already spammed facebook groups and forums.
Nothing interesting or no news going on with Myriad. He again gives zero explanation as to why this coin is worth buying into and there is no announcements or news. At the end of his video he says once the video goes live he will buy in, he can't even look at the camera, nervously touches his face then grimaces....... By that stage it has already pumped 20%, there is no way he bought in after the video, this really bugs me his body language says it all, hes a liar.
Here is the vid 12 minutes of him saying nothing about Myriad other than to buy it but don't buy it just because he said so. UPDATE since posting I cant find this video on his channel anymore. Though it still plays?
Backup youtube link as the video was removed from his channel. Try this if vid doesn't play
And its gone. This was a over for MYRIAD very quickly.
He has sold out for sure. He looks increasingly nervous and shifty in his videos. And all four coins have nothing to offer in the way of new announcements, new tech or anything unique. The first one we all know was false hype scam on an abandoned coin. Even a new person to the game could have figured that out after not being able to find hte CHC whitepaper he mentioned he viewed twice.
He uses pictures of hot girls in the first half second of his video to attract guys attention?? pretty sad really. But he has obviously profited heavily off manipulation people with his latest videos.
I suppose if you get in early with his videos and get out early you could get away with a few coins but for you to win someone is losing but mostly the scammers are winning big time.
He is manipulating people for personal gain, I can't say for sure he is colluding with pump groups or just with a few big whales, but if it looks like a duck.....
I may get a lot of hate for this but it is worth it.
Seconds after he says he is going to buy in.
UPDATE
So aparantly he also did GCR but deleted all the evidence same as MYRIAD, he promoted it after DOPE coin.
(credit to Paul Pereira for pointing that out).
So aparantly there is other coins he promoted but I missed them as he deletes them if they immediately bomb. I found one of them and added it in.
Post has been invaded by HighonCoins and team explicit ... even a confusing post from the scammer himself. Upvote other posts to send them down the list.
Many have been spreading Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (often shortened to FUD) a disinformation strategy to go against the Chain Coin Hodlers Movement. We are here as a team to support this Explicit movement!
I remind you that we are in an very early stage at CHC, the shoot up was to fast, a lot of people were not prepared for this and a lot of people sold, and now we are again in accumulating phase. From now on, we want slow steady growth and we are very confident in this one.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Soon there will be a second press release, new exchanges will come on board, devs are coming back, masternodes alone will make this worthwile and a lot of youtubers are supporting the project. Again, supply is very low at only 15mil coins. HODLers will accumulate on dips and one day we will control over 50% of the coins and HODL til 1000,-USD.
If we control most of the coins and HODL, price will rise inevitably, demand will be big but supply low. CHC has actual value with it's masternodes that is paying very good. It is not some shitty coin like dopecoin, potcoin, safeexechange that cost cents. (These are the real pump and dumps). Worthless coins with no value.
Do not panic guys, dips are normal and and shoud be used to buy even more at lower price, soon big money comes into the markets again after segwit, CHC will get more and more attention, also Koreans are now building groups and supporting CHC. Community is getting bigger and bigger every day. I am very confident. Let's HODL for the moon!

Great to see they only came running back for the money. They will abandon the project again especially since CHC is dead again.
What happened to CHC?
Excellent post. I made a video on him and High on coins. Two charlatans and frauds. please watch
What happened to the video?
How come it doesn't work?
love a good scam read !! these people must get the spotlight put on them
Yes the more people that see this the better for sure. It has a lot of views and I am posting it externally.
I never said anything about CANNABIS coin... it was DOPE Coin, actually.
Wow the Liar shows his ugly face.
personally know Vinvent and he is a good man, insulting his looks well thats not productive whatsoever, in this crypto world ive learned sometimes you get it wrong a few time sometime you nail it on the head. He has obviously done well for himself and that should be inspiring to us all however as an adult you must make your own decisions and direct your life from your research and opinions do not blame this youtuber for sharing his opinion on Dope coin. i cant say i know him very well but can say he doesnt seem to have anything to hide either.
Dope coin is actually a very good one 👍
Indeed I was subscribed to his Inner circel Tweet, he sent a tweet about MYR, in a mather of a second I went to check and the coins was already pumped, while the tweet just got in a second before..., just after he posted the video you saw again a pump... this happend also with GRC and SEC too...I must be honest I was first a believer till MYR tweet...
He took down all evidence of MYR and GRC off his video channel too.
Nope, never made a video about GRC, it was only on YouTube.
He also hosted a scam ico which I lost 28 etc on. I used to like his videos but he blatantly told me in a series of emails that he was a scam artist and that there would be no refund. I have since learned my lesson.
can you screenshot the juicy parts of those emails and post it here?
smart question.
Another excellent post, resteemed.
Cheers dude ... write an article and ill return the favor :P
I've watched several of his videos, and like most other people covering cryptos, I put very little faith in what I hear. That said, based on email records I've seen recently, he scammed someone out of 28 ETC, and that is something that's simply unacceptable and cause for me to immediately stop watching him altogether.
That said, there are too many shills out there to count. Whenever I see someone covering cryptos trying to sell me on a course or see coins they've previously recommended tank shortly thereafter, I immediately consider them entertainers more than valuable sources of info. Far too many people invest on the word of these guys, putting money in their pockets as they dump garbage coins on their gullible followers. It's shameful without a doubt, but at the end of the day you have to blame the people who put their money in a coin recommended by a guy with a poor track record who often times has been in cryptos for about four months.
Good comment 👍
The honest truth is I didn't scam the guy out of 28 ETC. He got scammed by someone impersonating me, which happens often to many crypto-people on social media.
But hey, who cares about the truth, right?
THanks for this I fell for some of this tricks. Didn't lose much but I am inspired to post like this also.
I don't trust him. Don't get into pump&dump or pump&hodl, whatever they are called.
Yep they go by many names and they are things to stay away from.
Im interested what will he do next. Will he continue in this pattern or started to go back to his old way when he talks about top 30 coins.
Who knows but his rep is heavily damaged now.
Thanks for posting. You just can't trust this guy.
I look to Vincent more for comedy than anything. He cracks me up. I am going to have to look into this. I typically do my own research when it comes to crypto due to the massive influx of dirty rats that pay youtubers to shill their coins to take peoples money. Its a damn shame. I suggest that anyone getting into crypto do the homework and invest in the project not the rumors!!!!
great read! thanks for posting! Was a bit surprised to see both Suppoman and Highoncoin on that CHC scam!
Highoncoin were a big part of it. Suppoman I believe was just being irresponsible and he broke every rule he preaches when he made a video about them. He has just come back from holiday and didn't do his research.
At least he didn't outright lie in his videos about reading non existant white papers.
I do appreciate you taking the time to expose the pump and dump scammers such as Vincent Briatore but I do not agree and accept you calling Max from HighOnCoins a Scammer in your comment.
That is not very nice and not acceptable especially when you have not done your research before claiming him to be a scammer.
Max is a good hearted person with only good intentions. I know this because I have been following him on his main Youtube Channel High on Android (https://www.youtube.com/user/highonandroid) long before the Chaincoin movement was ever started. His main channel has been running for more than 5 years and has over 75K subscribers. His other channel High on Coins only was made for him to chill and relax while he talks about the coins he is holding. With no intension to make an extra buck. Just sharing and spreading good vibes as he enjoys his breaks.
So getting to the point, it really hurts to see you calling him a Scammer. When all he wanted at first was to try an experiment and see if we can pump and hodl and go agains the real scammers. Also the reason he chose Chain Coin is that it was a coin that had a Master Nodes and could generate it holders passive income.
Contrary to popular belief, dash copied the X11 mining algorithm that enables fast transactions off of Chaincoin. It also has a "darksend" feature that provides the same security anonymity feature as cloak and monero. And last but not least, it is a masternode.
The reason the coin dumped is because the leadership behind the movement for Chaincoin told everyone to put up buy walls to prevent people from dumping it. Traders exploited the situation buy trading off the buy walls and the top and whales went in for the kill by buying $192,000 walls, making 5% and then buying it all back. Since then, the leadership of Chaincoin has dropped that "wall" tactic. The coin is free to moon if it likes or crash and burn.
I know that we sometimes do mistakes and jump to conclusion but I kindly ask you to take the time and checkout both Max Youtube channel and I am sure you will change your mind on who Max really is. He is such a lovely person that only wants to help out others and make this world a better place and he will hopefully succeed in doing so. This is only the beginning of the movement and developing team of chain coin is back with great news that will be disclosed soon.
Once again I am not trying to go against you or show any form of hate. I hope you can take the time to do you research about Max and also check out some of the videos he made about chain coin. I am sure it will make you change your mind and we all unite against the same cause.
How can someone be this gullible and naive is beyond my understanding.
How can people consider Suppoman an "expert" when he's been in cryptos for all of six months? Most of these guys can't be trusted, and those that can have a small, dedicated group of followers who focus on charting and real research. At best the rest should be watched purely for entertainment purposes.
Can we please get past this and I know he just pumps stuff but Safe Exchange is a great project and you can speak to the main developer on Slack who was working before at MaidSafe and there are things coming and big updates so please check out the Coin yourself https://safe.exchange/t/safe-exchange-developer-update-july-23-2017/804
Get past what. Already stated in my article and several times that I think safe exchange has potential and that the hype around the coin was a scam not the coin itself.
I also stated several coins are already ahead of it as you mentioned MaidSafe. Not totally sure I trust people that jump ship and reinvent tech.
If the coin is great how can the hype around it be the scam?
safex will reach $2 within the next two years i can bet eth it will be. my sources are very reliable
People post videos and they make predictions, you are welcome to take their advice, do your homework and find out if you want to go through with it. Crypto currency world is extremely volatile, you must go in knowing you could make amazing gains or lose it all. That's how predictions work.
I wish I had read this earlier.
Guys, Vincent needs to be blacklisted from all social media so others don't become scammed.
Hey guys! Upvote for everyone go vincentb
Strongly disagree, Vince has changed and growed alot since then, his new videos are actually pretty good. Sorry for your loss, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even the biggest whales.
WHy is the resteem button gone?!
no its not a scammer , and do your own diligence he's just making u aware of things. Take it or not
