Ponzi schemes are a scam, we all know that.

Ok, makes sense so far.

Welp, found a problem.

But you see folks, drug dealers are a good thing!  There are no negative effects on the community!  Everyone involved is making money, it's a zero-risk business!

As long as there's no coercion, the free market is a good thing.

Nowhere does anyone ever say, as far as I'm aware, that lottery tickets are "risk-free" either.

Lottery tickets are not a ponzi scheme. Did you complete 9th grade?

why don't we look at the scheme in your sig? 

Hmmm, one guy wins, 9 lose.

So you get paid, the winner gets paid, and 9 others lose money.  90% of the players lose in this scenario, and yet you think it's a good thing, because the guy who started it gets the rake.  So not everyone has a risk-free source of income here.

Ponzi schemes ARE fraudulent, hence why they are illegal.  What is so difficult about this concept?  No, no, you see MY ponzi scheme is different, I promise.

No one with a functioning brain stem would willingly buy into a ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme.  But then again, this is bitcoin.

lol 2 guys won.  but close enough. why do people buy lottery tickets? are lottery tickets illegal?

Welp, found a problem.

Please explain how a Ponzi scheme that calls itself a Ponzi scheme is more of a scam than any other gambling business.

It's a pyramid scheme that calls itself a ponzi scheme, actually.

It may or may not be more "honest" and less of a scam than other Ponzi schemes, but I do have to disagree with

BitPonzi is a great way to start your bitcoin experience with a decent-sized wallet.

It's actually a great way to lose your bitcoins.  Tongue

No, I emphasize: If you stick to only creating rounds and not depositing in others, you WILL INCUR NO RISK.  Of course, after a while you can choose to gamble with your earnings.

taking advantage of others to make money, a true bitcoin business.

Would you rather I called it a pyramid scheme? OK fine, I will.  Whatever.  Doesn't any casino take advantage of others to make money!?  Do you simply have a problem with gambling in general or something?

You really don't think it's bad for 'the community' that the majority of bitcoin businesses are people enriching themselves by taking advantage of others?  It's the object of the 'game,' to take the jackpot from the other players.  Take from many to enrich the few.  Do you know why most communities DON'T want casinos built nearby?

And jesus, the name.  Hey, sign up for BITCOIN PONZI SCHEME!  WE TELL YOU ITS A PONZI SCHEME, SO YOU KNOW THAT ITS LEGIT!  Do you realize why "Ponzi Scheme" has a negative connotation?

Enrich the few? This is an opportunity for anyone to join in on the enriching!  Nobody's forcing you to take risks.
Ponzi scheme has a negative connotation because ponzi schemes used to be fraudulent and weren't considered gambles.
