Thank you. It is very kind of you. Then the lottery is a kind of fraud, because the winnings are taken by people at the expense of other people. In the rules of the Ponzi project it is written that this is a game and that it is a pyramid. Whom does the project deceive?
And
just like you, people may not fully understand what a Ponzi scheme is and give them money without understanding the insane risks involved--that's why Ponzis are illegal in my country.
Only on bitcointalk will you find people openly advertising Ponzis as "HYIPs" or some other form of investment schemes. It's dishonest and people fall for it and lose their money as a result. Lotteries advertise exactly what they are, and they're also regulated by the government. These Ponzis here have zero controls and are outright scams.
Forgive me, are these people weak-minded? They can not read? Why do you think that no one knows what a pyramid is?
