Those people who joins this kind of ponzi joins not because they are not aware of scams or they want to be scammed, they join because they want to take advantage of the company while company it is still paying. They know eventually that this site will collapse and turn to scam
But they are not taking advantage of the company, they are taking advantage of other people who pay in later because of ignorance and naivety.
The money you or anyone else makes out of a ponzi comes directly from another person, less some which goes to the admin scammer.
If you prize money to that extent, then carry on, but you're part of the problem.
It's a shit way to make money imo, do something creative instead of being a parasite.
Well yeah you are right "they" are taking advantage of the others who don't know what they are doing since the only role of the company is to assign a BTC address to another member to send bitcoins and so forth and so on.
Just like when a new ponzi scheme is launched in this site in the Investor-based Game section, everyone here knows that it's ponzi but still people are sending coins.
