What's the problem with it?
I just write my opinion and let know to as much people as possible that sites like cloud mining, hyip, online investment, are like gambling and MUST be taken as that. I just like to advise people to not invest too much, and to consider all online businness gambling.
I'm not a believer, but for you "ponzi" is just like devil. There are a lot of "ponzi" schemes in real life, that you maybe can't see.

Do you even fucking know what a 'Ponzi' scheme is or are you just going to keep shrugging your shoulders and making hand-wavy statements about how it doesn't really matter if it is a scam?

It does matter and anyone who says it doesn't is either a complete moron or a shill for the scam itself.

Gambling is the process of placing a wager on the outcome of an event based on evaluating the constants and variables which form the basis for the 'odds' a particular outcome will occur.

Investing in a scheme which is pretending to be a legitimate business is not gambling, it is investing in a scheme you believe to be legitimate because you are fraudulently being told it is legitimate by the promoters of the scheme.

That is a criminal act.

Investing in a ponzi is gambling as you are investing into something in which the outcome/result is unknown.
