Pyramid schemes are actually useful.
They can be used to secure pyramids.
Tokenized Debt as Trust
I've been doing development on a theory for a year that attempts to use pyramids as a device to stabilize the trust of oracles.
Debt, by nature, is distributed. Everything in finance is a pyramid scheme. Everything is about economic growth. But the debt from that economic growth can now be harnessed as trust. This can be made fully manifest because the blockchain medium is something that can not be compromised.
Everything is open source and development is 100% transparent.
