Agreed. But the way, I see it there are a lot of coins you might not have heard of, novacoin, terracoin... Nobody ever buys anything with them, but their prices are on the rise. As long as you make it, people will want it.

"Nobody ever buys anything with them, but their prices are on the rise."

But you've already picked the successful few out, lots of other coins never got to that point.

However, the fact that you're designing a scam makes this whole thing a lot easier to answer:

The thing that is stopping me is that I'm not a scumbag. I don't want to trick people out of their money.
