Really? Care to explain to me why Zen has more nodes than Bitcoin? Or why IOHK partnered with Zen. Why the popularity in increasing over the past few months?
probably because 8.5% of block reward going through marketing and hype,paying high fee to get listed here and here and shill how zen is accepted by everyone while anyone could accept shit if they pay the price lol.
also centralized node had no utility at all except giving free money in the idea of buying more node(if this is not a ponzi..) eventually handfull of people will control all zen market
By this analogy many coins including BTC would be accused for the same crime! Which is absurd and it is not truth!
Marketing and hype are different terms. In many cases we listen community requests, but we are not in position to talk about agreements while they are in preparation nor after.
Ponzi scheme
is a form of fraud in which a purported businessman lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors using funds obtained from newer investors.[2] Investors may be lead to believe that the profits are coming from product sales, stock growth, or other means. A Ponzi scheme is able to maintain the illusion of a sustainable business as long as most of the investors do not demand full repayment and are willing to believe in the non-existent assets that they are purported to own, and there continue to be new investors willing to contribute new funds.
