Still Ponzi schemes, but yes they probably will continue unabated.

So companies like Checkout.com, Stripe, etc using a cryptocurrency in their crypto product means that they are also part of the so called 'Ponzi scheme' and they are currently out there scamming?
Yes. Or at least they're exploiting the situation.
This right here.

They want that sweet Ponzi-adjacent money.

All the receipts, none of the liability*.

(*they hope).

That means Stripe, Checkout.com, etc are somehow now 'scammers' and by using crypto, they have found a legitimate use case for it. If they are scamming, Where is the scam?

So now people using Stripe's products and using their crypto offering are now facilitating in the so called 'scam'. Does that mean they should close down their Stripe or Checkout.com accounts to stop the so-called scam that Stripe and Checkout.com are involved in?
