The youtube video she linked me to is full of flowery language that doesn't actually say anything about how it works. Just seems like a bunch of false hope to me. You have to sign up with a donation and then convince other people to sign up for donations. it uses a bunch of cryptocurrency and that makes me wary right out of the gate. She says she signed me up already =(

anyone know a thing or two about how these things work?

I guess I'm just really suspicious of anything online and this doesn't pass the sniff test.
