So you can see there are still people in world population to make it easely to level 200.

 Absolute agree with you Cognitive2013. Mr Makebtc has shown that he is absolutly prepared to solve the problem which is solved on his site. He is open for comment and a very honest man. Thats why I deposit again on his site. I think he is a very smart guy so the site will remain. New and old investors will see that the profits will grow and grow. I think we all gonne have a lot of fun with this site. Very interesting!!

There are many different versions of pyramid and other similar schemes. The way it works is still pyramidal in nature.

Mr MakeBTC is correct, this is not a pyramid scheme in the exponential sense of the diagram above. For example, as of now to reach level 16 we need about another 6 BTC. Then to reach level 17 we will need 17 BTC. If history is any judge, 25% to 50% of those 17 BTC will be reinvested from those who received BTC from level 16. The remaining amount will come from new investors, or possibly from old investors adding new funds (who are in this situation equivalent to new investors).

So technically it is correct that new investors are required to reach each bank, and in that sense MakeBTC has some qualities of a pyramid scheme. However, the amount of BTC required to reach each bank is so small in comparison to the number of BTC in existence it is quite plausible to think that new investors entering even now, will make a profit on their investment. At some point in the future, new investors may slow down so much that it will take so long to reach a new bank, that it will be clear that it would take years to clear a profit. But we are a long way from there at the moment.

The fact that existing investors can now "cash out" by selling their acculmulated levels for BTC (at a discount) also makes it easier to lock in profits after having reached a few banks.

The interactions between beetje2007, opnoskatt and Mr MakeBTC on this forum have been very instructive; MakeBTC has shown itself to be transparent, honest and willing to fix problems. As far as I can tell, this forum is the only place on the internet (!) where MakeBTC has been discussed in detail, and with the owner participating.

I put 0.1 in this scheme, we will see what happens.

Anyway I tried http://coinbomb.com/ yesterday and earned .2btc now I'm waiting in "group" ponzi scheme if it wont go off they are returning money.
Looks interesting because it's just the begining and the stakes are not so high

   Those, who really understand how MakeBTC works with level selling, know that this is not pyramid anymore.

They'll all collapse at some point, but the people who get in early wont care as long as they get out with profit.

simple maths will tell you what to do 

Thank you. It is interesting.

There should definitely be additional levels reached as more people start selling/buying at higher bonus levels.  I think a few "whales" need to get introduced to the system to see if a couple >1BTC investments can be made.  Maybe use something like coinbomb.com to advertise and bring in known gamblers.

I am very happy that the cash out problems got resolved, let's gamble now!

The adds will bring a lot of depositors, the bonuses are now reduced to 27% because the present members want to stay in, when we will pass bank16 a lot of players will reinvest their income and the add campaign on Bitcointalk will probably still be ongoing so we should also pass bank17 in two or three weeks; passing a new bank is now less expensive since the BTC price is decreasing
You could get a 71% bonus a few days ago..It seems like a lot now

If the deposits slow down again, the bonuses will increase and that should increase the deposits and allow the players to withdraw money

Let's imagine that the deposits slow down a lot, if someone is ready to sell its level for a 80% discount ie get 0.2 per 1BTC of level sold it means that someone depositing 1BTC could get a 200% bonus, the bank level will raise of 0.50 and 0.50 will be withdraw to the player that sold 2.5BTC level for 0.5BTC
Getting a 200% bonus will certainly make a few players deposit, even at bank 20 or more

Just saw the advert. I wonder what bitcointalk wouldn't advertside? lol

 Or the reason was, that i'm don't answering at forums? Please sorry that i'm spending my time improving my project, that will make btc to all of us, instead of chatting with you.

I did not understand what you were unhappy?
Last withdraw transaction date: 01.02.2014 11:26. all in time.
Just doing bad things to other people.

Hey guys .. some free BTC and other alts for signing up here  http://qoinpro.com/59840c5039c4a3070bad2b9cddf6b09f and small payouts everyday. Peanuts I know, but nothing to lose.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.  During some updates that were occurring on the site a few users thought that money had been taken by the site. It turns out there were just some changes to the page layouts and the site owner came out and cleared everything up.  Any missing BTC was promptly sent and everything is operating well now.

It said "verified scam" just earlier!

The title doesn't say scam; it says Pyramid Scheme, which I think it's accurate for the service.

If its safe to invest and this is just a conflict over the definition of gambling/investnment, I do believe that this threads title is a little misleading, there is a tremendous difference between gambling and a scam!
