The project was a complete scam from the start, and Kay-Brin exposed it all. When I realized who was behind it—a known international fraudster—all the tokens I had purchased disappeared from his syste... See more

Breach of guidelines
Never ending pre-sale
Never ending pre-sale. Weekly emails with ‘final hours before launch’, but the launch never starts. Starting to look like a scam.
At this point
At this point, BlockDAG no longer looks like a struggling early-stage project. It looks like a project that overpromised, underdelivered, and then normalized failure as part of its narrative.
Miners were advertised, showcased, monetized, and sold as a cornerstone of the ecosystem — and yet they were not delivered as promised. Not “partially.” Not “with minor delays.” They simply weren’t delivered within the timelines repeatedly communicated by the team. This is not a logistics hiccup. This is a systemic failure of execution.
What followed was worse.
Instead of accountability, investors were met with excuses. Instead of clarity, they received vague updates. Instead of responsibility, they got AMAs filled with deflection, buzzwords, and future-oriented storytelling. The strategy appears obvious: talk long enough and hope people stop asking.
The leadership bears direct responsibility for this erosion of trust.
CEO **Nic Vandenberg** presents himself as a calm, controlled executive, yet under his leadership deadlines have become optional and commitments negotiable. A CEO’s role is not to manage sentiment — it is to deliver outcomes. On that front, the record is deeply unimpressive.
Founder **Gurhan Kiziloz** has positioned himself as the visionary behind BlockDAG, but vision without delivery is meaningless. When a founder continues to promote growth, expansion, and ambition while core promises remain unfulfilled, it stops being optimism and starts looking like **detachment from reality**.
The most disturbing element is not delay — delays happen.
It is the **apparent lack of respect for investors**.
Investors are treated as if patience is infinite, skepticism is ignorance, and criticism is “FUD.” This is not how serious projects operate. This is how projects behave when they believe their community will tolerate anything as long as the narrative stays optimistic.
Dashboards do not equal progress.
AMAs do not equal transparency.
Promises do not equal delivery.
A project that truly believes in itself does not hide behind timelines that keep shifting, nor does it gaslight its supporters into thinking missed commitments are normal. It **owns its failures**, fixes them, and proves competence through action.
Right now, BlockDAG is failing the most basic test of credibility:
Do what you said you would do. When you said you would do it.
Until that happens, this project deserves scrutiny, not praise — and skepticism, not blind loyalty. Trust is earned. And BlockDAG, so far, has done far more to damage it than to deserve it.
No real happy about the blockdag…
No real happy about the blockdag crypto. I bought into it starting 19 months ago investing over 40k in coins and 14 miners. I did receive 1 miner if that's what we're calling it. Since a "official" launch date announced buy in prices have been slashed. Now half price of batch 1. My take on that every early investor who entrusted the "movement" with their money for years, helped produce the greatest presale in a decade as claimed got shafted. For the same money I invested over a year ago I could've now bought 80M coins and dumped at launch due to the 0 vesting offer instead of the 40% initial drop to those who been invested since the beginning. Image the ones that's been showing $4M total invested for months now. Then missed another launch date when trust was already falling off the ledge. Yeah all of us early birds need to ask for lube.
They rug pulled the presale
The rug pulled the presale. I bought in at just above 0.02 over a year ago. Now the price is 0.0005. How?! Such a joke
I am always believes new company but…
I am always believes new company but same people they did not have peasants. They thing they will make big money right the way. Therefore, this BLOCKDAG is real not scam they get customers money up $450Millions dollar's. They will not run away with people money. Please be peasants you will get your money 100X
SCAM,I bought it a year ago at a price…
SCAM,I bought it a year ago at a price 20x lower. If we hadn't invested, we wouldn't have even reached this stage, thank you. The risk we took. Although it doesn't matter how long the project takes to come to life, I'm selling everything at the same second.
Trust=0
Thank you
It is assumed that today
It is assumed that today, January 27, the launch or closing of pre-sale was going to be made, but when I get on the page, what they did was to give away the coin and put it at $0.0005, I have been waiting two years for this to end and at least get my money invested, what they did was a complete scam!
Scam
These scammers are so brazen. They don’t have any real product at all, so the only ending is to run away with the money. But with 500 million dollars, where do you think you can run to? Is the FBI in the United States completely useless? Are they really going to just stand by and let a handful of fraudsters—human scum—steal so much hard-earned money and get away with it?
Victims in the United States, as well as victims across Europe and Asia: collect your evidence and report it to the authorities immediately.
Everything worked well at first
Everything worked well at first, but once complications came up, I needed help. I reached out to support and explained my situation thoroughly, but received no response. After multiple ignore emails, it was clear that their support doesn't operate properly, unlike #Stovex#Global#Inc , which values and supports its customers.
This project has been stuck in presale…
This project has been stuck in presale for ages with promises of big partnerships that then disappear. The longer it goes on, the more it feels like hype with no real delivery. Complete waste of time and money for me.
Started by a scammer Gurhan Kozilov
Started by a scammer Gurhan Kozilov. Running presale like a meme coin. Fired CEO Anthony Turner and replaced him with Nic Van Der Bergh, a real clown. Oversold tokens but 75 billion and forced a reduction in in coin allocation of sold bonus coins.
Appears to be forcing early launch before miners are setup and ecosystem is in place. If this thing survives it will be a miracle. I would suggest this circus presale to anyone and Gurhan could end up in litigation.
Not to mention all ot the delays and unkept promises.

Hype and FOMO
DUE DILIGENCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE INVESTING IN ANYTHING 💯
All those bad reviews here about…lack of understanding and not following Blockdag advices and guidelines. Blockdag will never DM anyone, only scammers do, so don't answer and don't reply to scammers.
All those bad reviews here about Blockdag, are from from inexperienced persons, human beings who have no knowledge about how things work in presales. If they have kept following the guidelines from Blockdag team, they would have not fall into scams. In presales some people do not follow these guidelines and most of them are reading the news in Telegram or whatever other channel and instead of following Blockdag advices of not answering calls and messages from people disguised as Blockdag advisers, because Blockdag does not call anyone directly, even so they do it and fall into the hands of scammers. Which are always waiting in presales to the next victims.
All one as to do is to follow the guidelines in all presales, Blockdag will never DM. That is the rule to follow
If this is done, as anyone who has done it knows, there no issues at all.
Blockdag is super reliable, no one who has followed the rules has ever been unsatisfied, much less scammed. Everything is going on smoothly and nowadays is going also fast, because presale is coming to an end, and a lot of exchanges will be announced listing Blockdag sale, and the price is still very low and when the sale will start people will be very satisfied because the launching price, 0,05 is a lot higher than the actual sale price which is now at 0,003.
So everything is very promising with this new coin with already $440.000.000,00, Yes 440 millions dollars sold, and also dozens of miners also sold.

I purchased some BlockDAG and had my account link to Coinbase wallet didn’t check it for a couple week and now when I go to the BlockDAG website it doesn’t show any crypto in it so I’m not putting any more money purchasing this until released I don’t advise anyone to purchase until it launches BlockDAG gets a 1 star
2 year pre sale and counting
2 year pre sale and counting. Very deceptive practices and sponsorships that disappear. Inter Milan, Dortmund, and even Alex Pereira (UFC fighter) no longer affiliated. Check out the linkedin profiles of all their staff, it is all fake! I invested $500 two years ago and I know i’ll never get any of it back. A complete scam!!!
Costly Mistake
I regret sending them anything at all. It costs me more than it ever returned.
Being on NINTH-VALE showed me calm. more reliable rig compared to the cards dealt before
I purchased $3000
I purchased $3000. Of blockdag. Opened my Dashboard one day that showed 00000000. Been sending details to customer support for months. They've done nothing to find out what happened. I've file reports with local police and FBI. Looks like a Total loss of my hard earned money. That's the most I've ever invested in one project. What a Disappointment. They should have to Refund if requested, but they won't. I want my damn money back.
