It's a mobile app and it's a game and it promises to reward players with cryptocurrency. Bee Network claims that it already has seven million users who make money playing games, and that number is growing, at least if you trust the information from the Apple Store. There, the competition app made it to the top of the free mobile games: A triumph for the software that combines entertainment and getting rich in one application that is "completely free" as the provider claims. And also causes "no battery discharge".

No joke. But a sleight of hand. How an app should run without consuming electricity is not explained, of course, how theey should? But a lot of users still get caught up in the buzz that describes itself as a “new digital currency” created through “auto-mining”. Just one click every day and the "bees" flying in. Who still needs Bitcoin or Hive, Ethereum or Litecoin?

In any case, the enthusiasm is huge. The praise in Google's Play Store is rolling, it almost sounds as if Bee will soon replace Bitcoin. That would have to be assumed, because who would not take part in the long run if all they had to do was load an app and call it up once a day to slowly but steadily wedren rich

The catch is not that deeply hidden. Again, it's probably about tapping data. Those who use Bee allow unknown providers deep access to their smartphones. In order for the work, that makes you rich, the app must supposedly access contacts, monitor the phone status, be able to use the USB storage device, know the identity of the user and know which other apps he is using.

Nobody knows where all the data is going, because the app's website doesn't even state in which country the programmers and providers are based. The magazin “Spiegel” has found a trace of Hong Kong,. But that is not certain.There is only one e-mail address for inquiries, from which, however, no answer comes if you ask questions - about which personal data is from App users to which third parties are passed on. Or how the wealth accumulated through gambling becomes real money - there is no way to trade Bee. And a payout to a normal bank account is apparently at least not yet planned.

In order to get into the gold mine, users need an invitation, but one that is easy to get because people invite the other to get more bee. So the game is actually a game that consists of the hunt for new players. The alleged digital currency is not listed on any cryptocurrency exchange, but anyone who believes that they have found a way to get rich without effort has to be patient, according to the Maker: Bee wants to be tradable on cryptocurrency exchanges in the third quarter of 2022 be.

Sure? Never.
