The Impossible-Promise Detector
Every day, every Bitcoin miner on Earth combined — billions of dollars of hardware — earns only about 450 BTC ≈ $29.06M. That is the entire planet’s newly minted mining income (block subsidy only, excluding transaction fees; assumes ~144 blocks/day). Whatever this offer promises you has to come from somewhere. Let’s see how big a slice of the whole world they’re claiming to hand you.
6 red flags to always watch for
- A “guaranteed”/fixed return (“1% a day guaranteed”) — mining and markets are never guaranteed.
- You’re asked to deposit so they “mine” for you — real mining needs no deposit to anyone.
- You must pay first to withdraw (“tax”/“audit”/“fee”) — the advance-fee trap.
- You’re asked for your seed phrase / private key — no legitimate service ever asks.
- There’s a “mentor”/group/affiliate and urgency — the MLM/grooming pattern.
- A glossy dashboard whose balance ticks up by itself — screens can be faked; the chain cannot.
