onecoin-logoOneCoin are currently representing to affiliates in their backoffice that the value of OneCoin is €6.23 EUR.

If you’ve bought into the fantasy that centralized Ponzi points will ever be publicly traded, you’d expect one OneCoin to publicly trade for €6.23 EUR. Right?

Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. 1,411% wrong.At their CoinRush event recently held in London, OneCoin unveiled a tablet affiliates could purchase through OneLife.

The corresponding product page on the OneLife website states:

Maixin Group in China are retailing what appears to be a near-identical specced tablet for $55-$60 USD. The only difference I can see is the OneLife tablet has double the battery capacity.

Otherwise I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing, with both OneLife and Maixin Group referring to on-board storage as “build in”:

I’m not saying for sure OneCoin are selling Maixin Group tablets (the battery capacity is different), but it sure looks like it.

In any event, OneCoin are selling their version for €550 EUR ($620 USD), a 1033% to 1127% markup.

You wouldn’t know it by looking at the OneLife website… but it gets worse.

When OneCoin affiliates login and add the OneTablet to their OneLife shopping cart, the following payment option presents itself:

The problem?

1160 OneCoins at the going rate of €6.23 EUR equals a total of €7226.80 EUR ($8148 USD). That represents a 13,580% to 14,814% markup.

How the hell does a $50 tablet, that’s already inflated to $620, cost over $8000 in OneCoins?

That’s a whopping premium for double battery capacity.

Even if we double the cost of the tablet to compensate for the battery, the first instance of OneCoin affiliates being able to use their OneCoins to buy a third-party product still appears to be a massive ripoff.

The future of money? Zimbabwe would like a word, they hit 79.6 billion percent inflation back in 2008.

But yeah, I’m sure third-party merchants can’t wait to start accepting thousands of OneCoins for a cup of coffee…
