| >Perhaps not the thread to discuss. So you can't deny it's a Ponzi scheme, but you just don't want to discuss it here? But YOU brought it up! This thread is a FINE place to discuss it, since YOU started the top level thread by shilling your Ponzi scheme here all by yourself, before suddenly trying to cut off the discussion when it didn't go the way you planned, so let's discuss it anyway: Yes it's a Ponzi scheme on its face (or rather on Fernando Botero's faces ;), and worse yet, it's based on misappropriation of an artist's work, plus you also blatantly infringe on and dilute many trademarks at the same time, for money. You're not the victim here, so don't try to act hurt that "many around here don't love scarce digital assets" and surprised that "I don't know why you see it as any sort of ponzi". Yes you do know, because it obviously is, and you even tried to make a dishonest weasley disclaimer "I know ... but ..." when you first shilled it here, as if it's wrong and unfair to you that people hate Ponzi schemes and stealing art and infringing and diluting trademarks and shilling on Hacker News.
