Has anyone done a research study that estimates the amout of investments and/or investors in Bitcoin ponzis by year? It'd be fascinating to see whether/how the ponzis follow the cycles of the bitcoin price.

Tron related ponzi. Not sure about this article though. They say "billion dollar" and the "at least 20 million" which are very different figures! Maybe due to the problem where ponzis can have a large difference between the amount invested and the amount that that ponzi stated the investment was worth. We should be using the amount invested as the amount lost (or control it for inflaation or a modest rate of return like a treasury bill), but some people claim the inflated amount.
But still a ratio of 50 is hard to believe.

So they admit that they need a BTC price of $8000 to be profitable, but are currently providing a monthly return of 7.5%? And they've been providing a 7.5% monthly return during the time since August when they weren't doing any mining? They are either in the top 1% of traders or...
Normally Tone Vays is good at spotting scams, but he isn't asking the hard hitting questions on this Bulgarian mining organization. They even want to issue security tokens!

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a large number of these associated with the 2017 bull market that we haven't heard of. It can be hard to distinguish them from companies/projects that are actually investing/holding bitcoin - until the bull market breaks and the guaranteed return stops.

Steemit - isn't a ponzi. I think it is more of a pyramid. The danger is that probably most people (other than the founders who are probably rich) have "invested" more money in buying Steem Power than they have got out of the website. It's a classic MLM deal where you have to invest money in the product / token that you are unlikely to get back -- and in this case the more you "invest" the greater your return.
Now it is possible that Steemit rides the next crypto bubble and makes everyone rich. But it is more likely to slowly fade away as people realize they are losing money on the site.

Is there a specific Lending Program that you are asking about? Lots of places have "lending" and many (or probably most) are scams. Bitfinex and Poloniex are two exchanges that you can lend without being scammed. Though you still risk getting hacked.
Anyone has any info about Davor? The website still works but nothing happens. Even I invested there. Does anyone have any info about them, are they planning to come back, what to do with their coins? I have been trying to withdraw coins but they have blocked withdrawal. Any info would be appreciated.
Davor Coin has ended their ponzi.
Looks like USI Tech is ending too.

BitConnect was so successful in stealing users money that it has inspired multiple copy cats like EthConnect and Bitstrades (the latter has done paid ads on both CoinMarketCap and ccn.com).
