Explain: ✔ 100% Payouts Guaranteed.
Presumably, "✔ 100% Payouts Guaranteed as long as the business is operational."
No different from any other guarantee on bitcointalk Smiley

The difference I see is that txbtc advertises the ponzi to everyone.
And that's wrong? You're gonna leave him negative trust because he advertises his perfectly legit operation? Nana State much?

I have no problem with people knowingly giving away money to the likes of our "legit operator" SNavy.

In that case, we agree. Txbtc actually took an extra step to inform his investors of the perils associated with his reputable firm, by thoughtfully adding "Please invest at your own risk" to his sig.
An extra step, I might add, which Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Gambling > Investor-based games chose not to take Undecided

I do however have a problem if ponzis are advertised outside of their section. Many people still new to bitcoin come here, leaving a warning for them is far from a nanny state IMHO. I dont infantilize, I just issue a warning. You and anyone else is free to ignore it and "invest".
I'm not SNavy, though I may share the its sentiment, so I'll field this one too.
I'm a little hazy on why you haven't chosen to leave a negative rating to every user advertising his wares on Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Securities.
Do you not feel that these users "are scammers or likely to scam in the future," in light of 99% of offerings in this sub being scams?
