scammed: ponzi is a SCAM

I copy-pasted from the site.

BTW, any pyramid scheme is bad and should be prohibited, right?

But the site is cool though.



I wouldn't recommend a pyramid schema. You'll run into migration problems down the road. Better to keep it flat.


I guess we are talking about difference things.

Sorry, I meant Pyramid scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

But regarding pyramid schema, you mean hierarchical structure, right? I have the same concern, but flat tagging does not help much as we can observe from many sites.

Let people browsing from multiple levels of the category is fun. The rule of thumb is: don't expect perfect structure and don't need to have everybody agree on that. Ad hoc hierarchy should be good enough like Amazon product list. Also keep it away from people who don't need to browse it.


I think it was a joke?


It's a nice practice and showing people how he can manage this type of thing. Couldn't be serious about it, even the real-time data might be fake.

There are a lot of people like to participate in the BTC game, it's not bad. But if people take it seriously, it may impact on BitCoin's credibility.
