This link will stop working once I’m out of invites. Let me know after you registered, because I need to verify you on my end.

Some info offline..
Initiative Q was founded by Saar Wilf, who has past experience in the payments world — amongst other companies, he founded Fraud Sciences, which he sold to PayPal when it was part of eBay.

The other key participant is Lawrence H. White — an economist at George Mason University, who is heavily into Austrian economics, though he’s not a complete gold bug. White worked out the economics of the Q private currency.

Worst-case scenarios for your personal data
Initiative Q’s privacy policy is good and respectful — but if they go bust and get sold off for parts to pay the bills, then it will no longer apply.

The signup list collates the following information:

  • people who think get-rich-quick schemes can work;
  • people who will get their friends to sign up for a get-rich-quick scheme;
  • a full network graph of said people.
Any number of disreputable people and companies would throw their hats in the air at getting hold of a database like this. Affinity fraud loves this sort of list of pre-screened suckers.

(This is an example of why a large pile of Personally Identifiable Information is such a dangerous thing.)

Advertising trackers on the Initiative Q site include Facebook and Google Tag Manager — so these ad networks will also have categorised you as someone susceptible to this sort of pitch.

So if you signed up — you’re marked as a prime target for more pitches of this sort in the future

This doesn't phase me any. All they got is my name and email.

I have never contributed any money to any pyramid scheme and I'm not about to start now.

"If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago,"
I wish people would stop with this line of bitcoin rhetoric.

I remember when bitcoin came out. I had a friend with a few bitcoin at like $121.
I could've bought bitcoin. I purposefully didn't, because I don't want to become rich off of money from pedophiles and drug dealers.

Like yeah, it returns huge amounts of investment... because it was being used by criminals.
It wasn't a "We bought cryptocurrency because we're smart investors" vs a "We didn't buy bitcoin because we're idiots"
It was a "Oh I'm okay with making profit off of shady shyt" vs "I'd rather be poor than have a guilty conscience."

But that's America for you, where a quick buck overrules basic morals 9/10 times.
