End when the gem is too expensive, the good news is that only one person will lose his money (the last buyer).

Is anybody yet selling shares so that a group can buy the gem? That's where the bitcoins are at. Call it BLOG (Bitcoin League to Obtain Gem).

My naming was lame, suggested to garner a better choice of which you duly provided. That said, how much a share? I'M IN!

This is not a PONZI scheme. This is a kind of PYRAMID scheme. There are too many people using the term ponzi scheme that don't really know what a ponzi scheme is.

It is worth 71.6 bitcoins and currently owned by
Kim Dotcom

 Wink

I seriously doubt the gem's currently owned by Dotcom. Most likely a little publicity stunt on the website's part.  Roll Eyes
