Crypto Enthusiasts Review: “Staking” model MLM crypto Ponzi
Crypto Enthusiasts fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
Crypto Enthusiasts’ website domain (“itenthusiasts.com”), was first registered in September 2018. The private registration was last updated on May 31st, 2024.
The Wayback Machine suggests Crypto Enthusiasts website went sometime around early June 2024.
Despite only existing for a few months, on its website Crypto Enthusiasts falsely claims it, as Cryptophiliac LLC, was “founded in 2018”.
Cryptophiliac LLC appears to be a Florida company registered in 2018. Predating Crypto Enthusiasts by six years, it obviously has nothing to do with the company.
Nevertheless, Crypto Enthusiasts again falsely cites Cryptophiliac LLC’s registered agent as its own CEO.
Driven by a shared vision to democratize blockchain technologies, Giletti, John have [sic] assembled a team of like-minded people committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Grammatical errors on Crypto Enthusiasts’ website suggest the company is run by a non-native English speaker.
In Crypto Enthusiasts website source-code, we find a reference to “marmining.com”:
We also find Chinese:
Mar Mining is an MLM crypto Ponzi pitching up to $10,000 a day on $500,000 investments.
It seems Chinese scammers flogging a script backend across multiple Ponzi schemes are behind Crypto Enthusiasts.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Crypto Enthusiasts Conclusion
Despite only existing for a few months, Crypto Enthusiasts claims it’s “the world’s leading cryptocurrency staking platform.”
Putting aside the obvious lie, “staking” is crypto jargon for “Ponzi scheme”.
The premise of “staking” is cryptocurrency in invested on the promise of a passive return. Said return is typically paid in the token invested, generated out of thin air or recycled from new investment.
If its a shit token generated out of thin air, the aim is to cash out the shit token for subsequently invested actual money. This is a Ponzi scheme.
If actual money is paid out, this is a simpler Ponzi scheme.
Crypto Enthusiasts is the latter. Although it’s investment tiers are named after various cryptocurrencies, Crypto Enthusiasts is a simple “tether in, tether out” Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Crypto Enthusiasts of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
