I've read the text but not seen the programme. Firstly, if it's like other examples I've seen, this is just an extension of a fraud carried out by a con artist but over the phone or internet instead of in person. Secondly, if one doesn't understand an asset one shouldn't invert in it unless under the guidance of a reputable, regulated financial advisor. Thirdly, crypto currencies have no or limited regulation so unless you have money that can be written off they shouldn't be invested in because if it goes wrong there's very little chance of compensation. Finally, the good old statement "if it looks to be too good to be true then it probably is" should be followed: it's probably a scam. Now that doesn't mean all crypto currencies are bad - I know people who work in legitimate, regulated companies trading in them but they're dealing with professional investors who understand them - and some people have made lots of money from them; but that usually means others have lost at lot! (Although some f us wish we'd bought a couple of so bit coins back in October 2009 when they were ten cents each 🙂 but then I saw colleagues lose lots of money in the dot com boom when, again, I decided not to participate …)
