Since Feb of 2014, I have had people (a lot of the same people) telling me I was playing a Ponzi at Scrypt.cc. It took me 90 days to get my initial deposit back. Things were crap at the sit for awhile, but I constantly made some money, and withdrew it on a regular basis. Starting in December 2014, I was making double my initial investment each month. By withdrawing most of the profit (Income), putting some back in when prices were low (Investing), and playing the market (trading) whenever there is a site problem also racked up enough KHS to more than quadruple my KHS.
I am saying this because no Ponzi in the world would let me actually make money for so long. And the Haters, well they kept saying 'good luck, see what you say in a month'.
Well, its been 15 months. Still happy, still making an income (a rather large one). I'm happy. The only people I know that have lost are people that got skittish and bailed out. Or were playing the market - something you can lose at no matter what company you bet on.
I've said it before, and I will say it again: You have to offer proof to make someone/something guilty of something. Proof is not another thread on a Forum, or people making up scam rating system. If you are nervous about using them, then don't - I would prefer if you stayed away. I appreciate you not trying to save me from your fears, almost as much as I appreciate you not shoving your religion down my throat.
