Huh, so there are actual people out there that claims "you can make money on your first day!" and rate apps 5 stars because you can make a fraction of a cent.

I am sorry but I will disagree with your definition of marketing. If you are creating fake reviews that is just lying, not marketting

Edit: one other point on this. A lot of people are curious about Bitcoin and have never owned any. This is why they are happy. Imagine if there was this futuristic currency you heard about on the news and then someone said to you "You want to try it out I'll send you a small amount right now." That's basically what we do. We tell people they won't get rich from our app in the description very clearly, but they get to try Bitcoin for the first time and understand what it is. We're a gateway. We help them setup their first Bitcoin account, etc.

Real users made those reviews. You're twisting my words. Marketing is how you get users in the app on the first day. We did launch day advertising. It's normal.
