Are you mental?
Ad hominem

[...] it means (this is from dictionary.com):    a fraudulent investment operation that pays quick returns to initial contributors using money from subsequent contributors rather than profit
It doesn't mean its a scam...
Reductio ad absurdum

Translation - I know I'm wrong so instead of a real response I'll just post some latin phrases.

The arguments for Ponzi scams are supported by nothig more than semantics at this point.  The people that support Ponzi schemes call them "games" because they claim to have full knowledge of what the definition of a Ponzi scheme is, but choose to send money to them anyway.  It doesn't really matter what they are called or how many people support them.  A scam is a scam.  You can call it a "game" but supporting them only encourages more.  The gambling aspect is that you don't really know when the operator is going to stop paying people out.  You're gambling that the money you risk will be paid back.  It wouldn't be a gamble if they were always paid back every single time.  However that is the aspect of Ponzi scams that is unsustainable.  At some point payouts will stop and the Ponzi scam operator will abscond with the funds.

In that regard, it's not a victimless crime - and make no mistake, stealing someone's money is illegal everywhere.  So it's not fun or cute to support a scam that is built upon an unsustainable model that eventually,  and always, steals money from someone else.  I can't believe this even has to be explained that stealing is wrong.  Even if you have profited from it or you personally haven't been stolen from (yet) supporting Ponzi scams, it is still absolutely intrinsically wrong.  To argue the opposite is to argue from an incorrect perspective.  QED.


Are you mental? A ponzi doesn't mean the owner HAS to run away, it means (this is from dictionary.com):    a fraudulent investment operation that pays quick returns to initial contributors using money from subsequent contributors rather than profit
It doesn't mean its a scam, it means that earlier people get paid more. It is exactly the same risk of a bitcoin gambling website. When a gambling website turns out to be a scam, people call it a scam, even though it worked out in the beginning, and maybe promising a little bonus for the first couple people, and everyone gets mad and goes crazy, even the people that weren't even part of it. When a ponzi game website turns out to be a scam, the people that were scammed are still mad, but the people who weren't just laugh.
The point of games like these with new rounds, its a game where you have to try to invest first, and the first 75% of people win the game. I have been part of the last 25%, so I have given my money back to the community, but I have been mostly part of the 75%, about 75% of the time.

People please avoid ponzi's like the plague.

Here is the very simple description of a ponzi:

a) Idiot hands over money to con artist.  
b) con artist pays (for example) 1% interest weekly on your investment.  
c) idiot decides he wants to compound his investment so interest is never collected.
d) Ponzi operator runs off with funds when investors ask for withdrawals.

Or the Other Method:

c) not quite an idiot collects 1% interest a week and tells everyone how great it is.
d) The ponzi operator can do 100 weeks of payouts before running into trouble, they usually will stop when they stop getting new investors.

Now I know there are many people that make the following claim: The trick is to get in and out early. and they are one of the 3 types:

1) shills - they never invested anything but claim they did and that the payments WERE FABULOUS.  
2) idiots who think they will be  the first in and out.
3) idiots who were lucky enough to actually be 1 of the first in and out. Its the same as leaving your wallet/phone/camera with a random stranger on the corner of the street - yes sometimes they are honest but guess what, its terrible advice to give anyone and to claim success at doing so is just encouraging other idiots to invest.

Finally:

Ponzi's and pyramids are not gambling its a way to syphon money from idiots.  
These long running pyramids...... you will find out all the success stories are sockpuppets of 1-2 people right at the top.

PS: Friends dont let friends order from BFL.
Erm, the sites are labeled as a ponzi scheme, they aren't lying. All it is is another bitcoin gambling game, just like satoshi dice, you may win, or lose, but the person USUALY does not run away with the money

GREAT. Now everybody RUN and deposit more money to the anonymous scammer running a ponzi scam. He will probably triple his earnings thanks to this stunt.

Fools and their money are soon parted.
Shut, the fuck up
