This forum is running adds for ponzicoin.co

This is an obvious pyramid scheme that will sooner or later collapse for sure and a lot of people will loose their money.

When this happens a lot of people are going to use this as ammunition against bitcoin. Like look bitcoin scam, bitcoin pyramid, bitcoin ponzi etc endorsed by bitcointalk, that what they gonna say.

I think it is a very bad idea for bitcointalk to be running these adds

It's a ponzi scheme which admits it's a ponzi scheme.

You could technically see it as a risky form of gambling I suppose. But the potential payouts vs the risk is far too imbalanced to ever make anything like this worth it IMO.

Like it or lump it, theymos is not answerable to us. Unfortunately.

rather unfortunate indeed as there is many issues that need answering.
