Smells like a scam, or possibly scamola.


How can it be a scam when according to well known economic models, that means the value of the reward would be around $130,000?

I guess they're so well known they don't need to actually say what they are or quantify their statements with evidence, as that would insult our intelligence?

Exactly, they are well known and that is all you need to know.

Nobody needs evidence of these economic models, none of that matters when you're rolling in imaginary Q-bucks!

If you pay me £10 then I will tell you.

You can then charge people £10 each for telling them and I only want a £2 cut each time you tell somebody. They can then tell others for £10 and pay you £2 and me £2. And so on and so on. We will all be rich!

Yes I understand pyramid schemes but I was under the impression this didn't ask you to put money in-or does it?

This is a new currency and payment network built by ex-PayPal guys, called Initiative Q. The Q currency is currently being allocated for free if you are invited by an existing member.
The idea is that if millions of people join, Q could become a leading payment network, and, according to well-known economic models, that means the value of the reward would be around $130,000.
The amount you reserve decreases every day, and each member has a limited number of invites. You can use my invite link here:
https://initiativeq.com/invite/BbCOM5Aom
(Don’t worry. No funny stuff. You just need to give your name and email and your spot is reserved).


Jenuall and me this time next year

All that throwing around of our cash could get tiring though, so we may need to have a lie down:

It's from Breaking Bad. And you can be whoever you want to be - you've got a Q fortune, there are no limits any more!

I have no recollection of Bill Burr being in Breaking Bad, but it appears that he was! My memory is so bad :(

It's a tragedy that Bill Burr didn't get the starring role in the Hobbit
