  Religious cults start out by asking you to just come to 
  their meeting; then they gradually ask you for more and more   
  time and eventually money, too.



  Is the person or authority using mind-control tricks or 
  manipulation?  Is he or she using emotional reasoning?  
  Pushing an “us” vs. “them” perspective?



  How truthful can you expect this person to be? Does he or 
  she have a vested interest? Does the authority, 
  institution or publication have a hidden agenda?

Ask these questions anytime someone suggests buying from the supply of databases like Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA, or any of those things.

When you get down to the details, cryptocoin advocates need you to buy in so they can cash out.
