I put my bets on the upcoming "MAVRO" ICO on being the most ridiculous one yet. It is (likely a scam and) supposedly curated by Sergei Mavrody, the mastermind that created the biggest ponzi scheme in Earth's history,
MMM.
Their goal is to support the creation of more ponzi schemes in their platform, as they claim that ponzi schemes are currently facing harsh regulation, being "
over regulated"...
The effort put into this ICO makes it look very polished and nothing like a joke. I'm sure many people would fall for this but even if Sergei is indeed behind it it's very much likely that it'll end up scamming people once again, as he always does.
Overall, this ICO is shameless about being a safe heaven for ponzi schemes, and likely to support such practices through its core services too. At least other scams about to collapse like bitconnect try to hide it.
It's not true, the goal is not to create a platform for ponzi schemes. The project is about decentilizied platform for MLM systems. MLM it's not ponzi schemes, most famous MLM examples is Avon, Amway, Vorwerk etc. I think you can learn more about project here -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2759488.20Why would you pretend that MLMs are not pyramid type Ponzi schemes? Are you invested in Mavro yourself? This is blatsnt lying. MLMs and web based ones especially are specifically structured to benefit the few ones at the top. They need more regulation, not a platform to avoid it. So many people are loosing money by buying into the dream that MLMs try to sell.
I'm not pretend anything, just saying that you don't really undestand what's going on here. Do you really think that Avon, Amway, Vorwerk and etc. are based on Ponzi schemes?
What i see here - you are not even read whitepaper and just saying - "project is scam because i think so!!". Try to read whitepaper first, you can find whitepaper here -
https://mavro.org/pdf/MAVRO_Whitepaper.pdfThe "whitepaper" is a wordy nonsense that identifies as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the so called legit MLM world.
MLM's core problem is that it is an obsolete, completely pyramidical system which outgrew its original usefulness in the early 20th C, now existing solely due to inertia and the weight of legal power of the big players. It depends on its opacity for continued survival.
This reboot of a token invented by associates and imitators of the one trick pony Mavrodi has no value, but will no doubt be hyped via airdrop bullshit and lies and achieve its real goal: Financial Catastrophe.
Not the Global one from Mayrodi's fevered dreams, but a personal one for the bag holders and deluded fools.
