trying to create a simple portfolio of 10 coins took me ages. The portfolio would not appear and after awhile its there again. Like wanting to play hide and seek. When you type the coin ticker, it only appears after 2-3 attempts. Eventually I had to delete it and move over to Coinmarketcap where it was more seemless.
I am reaching out to express my extreme dissatisfaction and concern regarding the prevalence of scams and fraudulent activities on your platform, specifically on the CoinGecko Terminal.
It has come to my attention that there are individuals taking advantage of your platform to execute scams, particularly in creating liquidity pools. Users, including myself, have fallen victim to these scams, where it becomes impossible to withdraw funds from these pools, essentially rendering them one-way traps.
I find it hard to believe that CoinGecko is unaware of these issues, and it raises serious questions about the integrity of your platform. If CoinGecko continues to allow such activities, it raises suspicions that the platform may be complicit in these fraudulent actions.
I demand immediate action to investigate and rectify these matters. It is unacceptable for a platform of your stature to permit scams that result in financial losses for users. If CoinGecko does not address this issue promptly, I will be compelled to share my experience and concerns with the wider community to raise awareness about the risks associated with using CoinGecko.
I trust that you will take this matter seriously and implement necessary measures to restore trust in your platform.

I was scammed 2000 dollars trusting the crypto platform coingecko.com. I saw an ad on the website coingecko.com for a company that goes by the name Defi3 or DefiThree. Now the name speaks for its self, so I clicked on the defi3 ad and was directed to an exchange. Long story short I followed the steps to begin my investment. The first red flag I saw was this defithree company works with the tron network, but I said to myself a professional company like Coingecko would never sell me a fraud/scam, so I ignored the fact that its on the Tron network. I continued and then I noticed the support said I must send my money to an address and that I could not connect my wallet to the defi3 platform. Now that was a major red flag, but again I ignored the second red flag because again I trusted in the Coingecko website that they would not scam the people that use their website and they would scan every ad campaign ID before pushing the ads. Boy was I wrong. I sent the money and the very kind support disappeared instantly. I realized i was scammed. Not by the defi3 support, but by coingecko.com and i decide to get in contact with them. After days I trying to get some form of contact info for coingecko I finally found an email contact. Coingecko responded to me with the weakest most pathetic excuse and said that their ads are decentralized. As a online marketer i can tell you that is a lie. When I read the sorry excuse for a fraud answer Coingecko gave me, I knew automatically coingecko.com is the one that scammed me. Not once have they(coingecko.com) done anything to assist in my case. This proves that coingecko.com is out here creating Fraudulent crypto companies and scamming innocent people of their funds. Be careful when you visit coingecko.com and do not trust the ads. The ads on coingecko.com are highly most likely scams. I lost a lot of money because of thinking that coingecko.com was a professional platform, especially with all the crypto scammers out there, you would think a company like coingecko.com would at least vet out these ad campaigns if they were not the ones themselves doing it. Be careful with the ads on the coingecko.com website, they are most likely Scams. im talking from experience.
coingecko.com just inflate figures of tokens. they are not legit.
How can coingecko.com inflate the price of Bnb Tiger inu to over 50 million percent in the past month mean while, on coinmarketcap.com the token is about 46 percent in the past month. This makes the platform not legit and i suggest that people should move from the platform for their own safety.
Coingecko must uphold principles of impartiality and equitability in their evaluation of projects,
The platform exhibits an excessive degree of centralization coupled with glaring favoritism. They assert an unearned authority in distinguishing the virtuous from the questionable within the crypto industry. Furthermore, their listing policies are replete with inconsistencies; they profess adherence to criteria that demand a project to have a commendable social engagement via exchange listings. Yet, it has come to our attention that certain projects presently featured on this platform display negligible trading activity, lack exchange listings, and possess feeble social media engagement.
Coingecko must uphold principles of impartiality and equitability in their evaluation of projects, adhering to uniform criteria applied judiciously across the spectrum of crypto projects, including those already present in their listings.
All cryptocurrency projects should be treated equitably, devoid of prejudice. The platform should refrain from assuming an authoritative role in determining what is deemed positive or negative. Instances of inaccuracies have been observed, wherein projects with questionable intent, such as Celsius, Luna, or FTX, have been included due to a lack of discernment.
Cryptocurrency epitomizes a paradigm shift, marking a profound evolution towards a more just and unbiased society. At its essence, it introduces an innovative means to equalize opportunities and redefine the very principles of fairness.
Coingecko's lack of impartiality and evident favoritism is a cause for concern. To rectify this issue, there is an urgent need to establish transparent evaluation processes that prioritize fairness and equality for all cryptocurrency projects. It's imperative to foster an environment where every project, regardless of size or influence, is given an equal opportunity to thrive and be accurately represented in the crypto landscape.
Nie są wiarygodni,kto płaci im za reklamę ten jest promowany,kilka razy miałem aktywo które mocno zyskiwało przez 2-3 dni,pomimo tego nie było go na liście zyskujący i tracący-a powinno być,kolejna manipulacja polegała na tym że pomimo dostępności na DEX niektórych aktywów tu taka opcja się nie pojawia,a np. na coinmarkecap już od kilku dni jest wyświetlana.Korzystać ze strony można,ale nie ufajcie im.
Locked out no support. Can’t get a password reset send.
I have been locked out of my account and all my data for close to two weeks now. Every few weeks the app forces me to log back in and then doesn’t accept my password. So I go to the process of resetting it, but it will not send me a reset. I have sent over 80 to myself now and not one has come through. All my data is locked up in my CoinGecko app so it’s hard to switch to another app right now but I may just need to and just take this is a big loss. I’ve been going back-and-forth with customer support and I still cannot get a password reset! 10 days I have been unable to access my account and all they can do is keep sending me emails saying they’re looking into it. 10 days… That’s unacceptable and too long to go without access to your data. I have not paid for the app yet because every three weeks it kept logging me out not letting me log back in, then, for no reason it would except the password that it would not the previous week. This time it’s not working at all. I love the app I love the user friendliness of it. I want to buy the annual subscription, but I cannot imagine my level of frustration if I had actually paid all that money and got this level of customer support in getting back into my account. I am still locked out and I’m still getting emails from them… By the way, they can send me emails but the app with the same email address can’t send me a password reset? This is an error in an issue on their side and I feel helpless on the other side because I can’t get help! I’m almost ready to just say forget it and start all over with a different CoinTracker. Such a shame because I liked this app a lot when it worked. This app tracks your data from the very beginning and has tracked my data since I started crypto. I need my data out of the app at the very least. But I cannot get support.
What a sleaze ball group, if I could give lower than a 1 I would. The first negative is that you pay taxes out of your pocket and not from profits earned. When my portfolio got to $50,000 your account is frozen until you pay the 20% personal income tax. Ok I need to pay taxes but why freeze my account? When I paid my taxes of $29,000 I figured I’d be able to pull funds out into my wallet…nope Coinegg continued to freeze my account.
Oh well, I continued to trade on the platform. When I hit the $300,000 mark my account was frozen again. This time they wanted me to do an advanced authentication. Ok I can do that however, this time it is going to cost you. You must pay a 15% authentication fee to Coinegg, this was going to cost me $49,000. I paid the fee but Coinegg wasn’t able to complete my authentication review in the allotted time so my account was frozen again. Now for me to unfreeze my account I must pay the remaining outstanding taxes of $32,000 and a default deposit of $96,630. In total this is going to cost me $206,000 to get access to my portfolio of $325,000, What the hell!!!
This is the most unethical company I ever been involved with. These MF’ers need to be prosecuted!!!
False information. Coins that do not make profit for centralized exchanges through trading volume, get a ranking of "Not Available" and shoved to the last page.
Market manipulation at its finest.
Best site for Cryptocurrencies updates ever, with great iPhone app and widget.
The most important thing is that their API is FREE and with unlimited calls, I love it!
