Easy answer (not saying this is a ponzi) but google ponzi and the early investors. They get their money back its the late comers. Demand for the coin has to keep up with the supply as well with you getting back the coins so quick. Again im not saying its a ponzi but sounds like he is concerned with the back end investors, dont be so naive and think that the goose always lays a golden egg.
The other thing that worrys me is the pointless bumps every couple hours by the same people that say the same thing. "This coin is good coin". About 4 of the members here have about 50+ comments saying the same exact thing. Its called shill bumping, bitcoin9999 if you want this to look profesional here i would simmer the shill bumpers to a minimum. It looks sketchy to some as some teams pay people to bump their threads and thats what it can be misconstrued as. I dont mind seeing a couple nonsense posts from the same person but if there is nothing new to "the message" of the post it becomes spam or shill bumping. My 2 cents for you. (Heads up its a lot of other people thinking the same way i am about this)
These are exactly my concerns. Not everyone who participates in a ponzi or pyramid scheme is a intentional scammer. Some schemes are ponzis by accidental design.
People who participate in ponzis and scams often are either fooled into participation or don't have the knowledge to understand the economic principles.
Often people believe that coin price is determined by hype or fud. The coins that survive are the ones that either have sound economic principles or their bubble hasn't burst yet.
The design of the Medic coin will cause hyperinflation. Some coins that have been down this road end up burning coins or doing 1:1000 swaps (like Pac)
Eventually someone will end up losing. People who make their money at the early stages of a ponzi style coin do so at the expense of others losing their money later.
The early adaptors disappear before the problems occur because the price is up by artificial hype. They will have cashed out before the trouble starts.

For some reasons, some other coins had very good price when they debut but the prices has been dropping quickly. I don't think it's pumped & dumped because the developers have been working very hard, spent countless hours to bring their coins out to the exchanges. Their coins are their children. They don't want kill the coins but want the coins to be succeeded.
The coins may fail to meet investor's expectation but the developer's hard work should be recognized.
