I wouldn't touch Ponzis with your ten foot pole.

It amazes me that people try to make money doing these sort of scams, and I mean not the ones who are running them. They're just stupid schemes that pander to the basest instincts in those who love to lose money. And there are so many of those folks right here on this forum. Don't do it.

So, where do you suggest we should invest?
Sorry for asking...

I have a great strategy for these ponzis.

Invest a small amount (an amount between 0.01BTC-0.001BTC).
If on a doubler, once it has doubled, reinvest the capital.
Repeat doing this, and, as long as you get your first payment, you are technically guarenteed to not lose any of your Bitcoins (though there are still some risks!).

The first thing to know about investing is that you can lose money. It’s as simple as that. You could invest today and see your money drop tomorrow.

Never ever, stay away of ponzis if u dont wanna get scam.

you dont get scam apparantly , it is your own action of depositing in a ponzi site, which makes you lose your own coins by your own actions

Well apparently, most of the ponzis just shutdown and run away with the money.

As long as you know it's a ponzi, then gambling is gambling. You could make that same statement for gambling at large: it's stupid. Some people search out high risk endeavors, knowing full well that they could get reamed in the end. If you know it's a ponzi and you know what you're doing, you can have fun and make a little coin.

Why do people still buy into these, even when the schemers are playing open card? Didn't we learn enough from the pinnochio fairytale, money does not grow on trees?

You might miss the boat and the chance you do with a ponzi is very high?

I believe only a few people can earn money in a ponzi.

ponzi operators / owner and few users who joined inon early time
even that is very risky too, because some ponzi operators run immediately after get some cash
most of players are loser, that's the fact

I have way to avoid the SCAM by PONZI,

"HIT,, RAIN,, And RUN.." Make the owner scammed by you Cheesy

don't make you scammed by owner

how you can scam the owner if he can run away in profit whenever he wants

By using this 'strategy' you only feed the scammer and help them scam and making life more easy for them. It is only a small investment to make you feel happy and smart, telling everybody about it so more people will try and more people will lose. Not pointing a finger, it is a survival game, but just a warning to those who are not 'fit' enough to be wary!

Most people don't care of the ponzi loss, unless they deposit a big amount , say more than 0.1 BTC.
But I am sure there are many people who actually end up losing money.

if payout is around 150% , and the average deposit amount is same, then roughly 50% lose their money.

A lesson has been learned in a hard way

it's very bad that you lose just in two days, it's too early
so lesson learned, nobody knows when will new ponzi close (except ponzi operator)
invest in earlier stage and withdraw immediately scheme doesn't actually works

he told me very hard to leave this ponzi game, because he can get money easily from ponzi (and loose easily too)
win and make profit -> more greedy to get another money
loose and loss profit -> time to revenge! make profit from another ponzi
good things that he can leave this ponzi world now

This is why they continue to get new domains, make new sites and come back because they know people are greedy fools and they'll keep falling for those. As for me, I haven't ever lost money in any Ponzi.

I am not the person who tries to make his money double or triple or so on. Ponzis are very attractive but let you without money.

but what i think is that we can invest in these ponzi scam site in early stages/ like when the site started its journey. like i invested in a ponzi site when it was in its starting stage and when i earned almost double the amount i invested then i left it, then this site went scam and many people lost their investment

what you say?

This is best strategy but we should tell others to not invest as we are taking others money being early investors. I lost once and since then I stay away from any kind of scheme even if it is ponzi or not because we dont know what is happening behind the scene. I did not lost much but was enough to have a lesson.

Because if you know how to play ponzi's, they can actually be pretty good. Some people don't understand that people enjoy playing ponzi's. So everyone thats like "Boo ponzi fuck you scammmer, hahahahahha" doesnt really need to make that post to boost their post count. Just let the people that enjoy them play them, and the people that dont can leave it alone.

I see a lot of ponzi schemes, advertising themselves as ponzi's, doubling your btc investments, but not quite and leaving a lot of investors empty handed when the desired profit is reached. Why do people still buy into these, even when the schemers are playing open card? Didn't we learn enough from the pinnochio fairytale, money does not grow on trees?

You might miss the boat and the chance you do with a ponzi is very high?
