That is just plain stupud. Investing a small amount first to see how it does is the reason that most ponzis get so successful. They do indeed give a payout on the small investments and bail with the big ones.

Intelligent investors will never invest in such shit in the first place and will invest in things with real businessplan and a proven trackrecord.

Assumptions..

Who said anything about ponzis here?

I was saying about any investment. From your own perspective it's always better to just put your finger in the boiling water than to jump in it.

Even if it says about itself that its a legit service you can never know who is a scammer, so by default investing small amounts in something is better than large amounts.

Intelligent investors dont throw around 26.000$ worth of BTC to unaccountable people, even if they promise the stars for them.

Dumb investors will put their entire life savings in a get-rich-quick scheme, and then cry about it later when they lose it all.

If you have a 5 M USD portfolio of cryptos that you want to invest into related businesses and services, then you won't go around doing 0.1 BTC investments...

Also anonymity doesn't equal unhonesty. bitmixer.io is basically the oldest existing mixer. Or would you argue that its risky to invest money at a site that dooglus manages?

Actually yes you do, because you didnt aquired that 5m $ portfolio by throwing around 26k $ on random investment sites. There are plenty of matrix sites and ponzi sites where you can throw around 26k and if you are lucky you might make some money, but thats gambling not investing.

A careful investor first puts his finger in the water to see if its boiling or not, and only then jump in it.

I`m not familiar with that mixer site or the owner, but this is just a general rule of thumb about investing, and its valid for any investment you make.

Actually, the BIG winners are those that speculate. Those that say "x will be the next big thing" and bet big on it, watching it blow up. Places like MNST (Monster Energy Drinks), for example.
