Since there are so many "honest ponzis" out there right now, I just thought I'd throw this out there:

  • You are not gambling, you are sending money to someone and hoping you get more back. There are no odds, no fairness.
  • Anyone can put up a blockchain API with a little bit of code and then just shut it down when they think they have enough money.
  • There are actual gambling websites out there...why would you take the chance on this when you can have actual odds with provable fairness

Make smart decisions. A fool and his money are quickly parted.

They also have the chance of making a profit of 800% rather than waiting days and hoping they will get paid

I totally hate all these ponzis. But, honestly, here is what people think about ponzis:

Ponzis at an early stage has more odds of winning than in gambling.
Members insist on automatic payouts, because then, at a point, a ponzi with instant sent, will have max, 1.299BTC at a time. (If the next on line is a 1.3 for a 1 btc max.) This is less than the fee they will get if many people deposit.

People work on these observations, and of course many people lost money. I wonder why they are not screaming it here?

This is a better way of seeing it to discourage more participation.

Everybody thinks this and tries to get in early. As a result, late comes really, really soon.

The second the volume drops, everybody knows it's not early anymore, and the volume drops to zero.

Because they know they've been a fucktard and don't want to admit it?

Even the most honest ponzi can go bust if there are not enough investors/gamblers... and most ponzi schemes are quite far from being honest.

Newbies have to loose money to ponzi scams at least once before they learn. Sending money to ponzis is like giving money to strangers. Gambling at a dice site has better odds.

Thank you for trying to educate people OP but it has been done manier times before but people blinded by their greed don't ever learn and then they come crying after the Ponzi runs away with their money.
