That's correct, but this isn't the same!

I've seen some folks on reddit mention you can get 7% of someone's deposited money as a bonus if you refer them. Only a ponzi scheme can sustain that sort of aggressive networking. This sort of referral system has been done before, for GAWminers, Pbmining, and Hashie--all ponzi schemes which later collapsed, of course!

I think the trick is that you "get" that %7 as an account credit, but since you're never going to be able to withdraw the money...

these days all a ponzi needs to do is have enough shill accounts claiming that they were able to withdraw successfully, and drowning out those who complain.
