It is funny and sad to see you guys talking about "things slowing down", such system can only be prosperous or be forgotten.
However i hope Shiny Squirrel and The greed pit will continue, these are the only ponzis that deserve succes, IMO.
I have tried Rubixi and ETH Stick Carrot Ponzi Game but I still haven't payouts from them yet. The time since I have made my deposit was almost 2 months ago. Based on what you said before, yes it is the hard truth and we have to face it. Just don't invest what you can't afford to lose. That is the number one rule. Luckily for me, I didn't invest that much but if I did, I would have lost plenty of money.
