I suggest that to stay away in MLM early or not because you'll not get your 100% ROI back even you join in early stage. Tried it before and it did not end well once someone invested a large amount of Bitcoin they just run.
IN my opinion, I think we should never involve in this kind of activity even if you can get your ROI %100. Investing in those stupid scheme means supporting it and makes it stronger over time. We should encourage people not believing in these such thing and ddos them all so that they will disappear on this planet on and for all

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

No, there is no guaranty that you will earn money (bitcoins) if you are one of the first investors. A MLM (or ponzi) scam could run out on the first month or on second day (when they have enough money they will take it off).
It is a gamble still but with higher percantage of getting paid if you invest at the first hours or days of the MLM site.Just like what i have seen with other ponzi mlm they pay their members in the start of their site and then scam people in maybe a 1 or 2 or some last for a month of paying and then turning to scam real fast

Correct. There is risk of losing money in MLM scams however with calculated risk one could earn decent amount of money.

It most likely was a HYIP. There is generally almost impossible to get something. And in MLM you basically need to cheat other people by promising them a huge income, but it's better not to waste time on it.

Yeah investing in these kinds of things is like investing on Ponzi doubler or tripler sites that leads to scamming people but most of it usually pays for the first week investors and later end scamming people. So I rather invest in MLM in early stage and trust my luck.

I was contacted recently about one in an early stage and I declined it because even with MLM schemes there are so many that fail completely and never catch on. If you were lucky and got in early at onecoin you made a shit ton ( if they even let you get it out), but there are so many where you would have just lost everything even if you got in at the bottom.
Yes, I am also experienced to invest in MLM before but that was 8 years ago. Investing in MLM is too risky and dangerous, most of them are  are ponzi scheme designin terms of markeing. And aside from Onecoin there is previous a ponzi scheme which same thing aspect of onecoin which TBC the Billion coin/

I will never invest in an MLM scam even at early stage.  Moral said it is better to work hard and earn than lure people into scam and earn.  Most MLM people bragged about their system as working smart but  luring people into a ponzi scheme just to earn money is not smart working that is wicked work.

You should ask this instead: would you steal money from others or not with the risk of losing money yourself? and you need to realize one thing, do you want to earn money without working and without knowing where that money came from? I don't care if it's a MLM business or pyramid scheme/scam you must make sure what are you going to feed your family with, whether some people losing in order for you to earn or not.
Karma is terrible, if you do such a thing you can be sure that at some point things are going to turn bad, scammers scam that is what they do, if you know that you are investing in something that is a scam at some point you are going to miss and you are going to get scammed too.

Yes. Money must be earned honestly, otherwise you can lose everything and even something more valuable than money.

imo if you knowingly take part in a scam that dupes others from their money they have put in then you are no better than the person who started the scam. Its still scamming others and worse since you know your doing it.  Chances are even if you know its a scam you arent going to get out very easily with a profit anyways but i for one wouldn't entertain it at all.
For real! That is definitely just as bad. Anyway if its a scam then that means if they see you put in a huge amount of money even if they don’t know you are trying to take advantage of them they could still not give you any returns and make an exception for your case because they will earn so much.

Everybody else will continue to get returns so they don’t believe only one person that wines about it being a scam. So that is a bad idea on multiple fronts.

MLM are not always "scams".

One of the best examples is this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avon_Products
It is by definition a a multi-level marketing company.

There are a lot of accusations about it but there is nobody who will claim it is a ponzi scheme.

And about "early stage". How we decide what is early if we talk about a business established in 1886?

No i will not invest in MLM even in the early stage because it just risky and it may turned to scam even in the early stage so it will be a high risk for me to loss money so i will just avoid those sites and keep focusing on the non MLM sites and to those legit sites that are good in paying for me consistently rather than risking in just a poor MLM scam.

Yes, there are real companies that pay. But earnings there are very small. Perhaps those who came in the beginning of earnings more.

Investing in some MLM scam might be a good idea, if you enter in it quickly, freshly after creation of website.
If you can do that, now you have to find a way to collect as many referrals as possible, through every possible path no matter what: social media, bitcoins forums, gambling sites, literally anything.
You also need to have really good marketing skills- for example, persuading people to go into the programme with a big pile of money isn't easy, you have to do it correctly.

But the most important thing is do you really want to involve all this people into losing their money on some stupid project, that really doesnt offer anything except MLM scheme ( ponzi )?
The answer to this question is only up to you, if you want to live with knowledge that some of the people you suggested it, have lost their life savings for that.

Be honest people, dont earn money on someone's wounds, make them by yourself with a hard work.

The MLM that we are discussing here are the ones that's increasing in population these days just like MMM company. Multi-level marketing like Avon have legit products and people can only earn from selling those. They don't have to recruit anyone and I doubt that the members will earn from recruiting somebody else since that will just increase the competition in their area. Sellers don't want that, they want to be the only seller in their place so people will only buy from them. This is the MLM that you know is legit. The one that really requires you to sell product and nothing else. MLM's that's discussed here only allows you to earn through recruitment of new members.

Multi-level marketing aka: a pyramid scheme is never a legitimate business. Avon, Tupperware, those stupid smelly things, candles and shit are all scams to try and lure housewives into buying more useless crap for their home so they can be that stereotypical 50's house wife.

Obviously I'm not investing in that crap. It's worthless. Just because something had a real physical product doesn't mean it's not a shady awful crap-on-your-shoe business.

Mostly no because there are 2 cases either the mlm wants to run for long run or scam in short run. As for now most of them are for short term so investing your money will simply go in vein. I hope you remember forexparadise they ran for some 2 years and then finally disappeared.

Such companies promise very good earnings and impose unnecessary products. This is only for those who want easy money.
