Ok, I hate those stupid multi-level marketing schemes. They all suck and all of that but there is a reason they are around. And yes, I know that Bitcoin is seen as a pyramid scheme so this is probably a bad idea since it reinforces that idea. But...

...

Either way, I think it needs to be easier for people to get started with BTC. It is like a gold coin dealer trying to explain currency to a farmer who has bartered their whole life.

MLM is one of the best and most effective ways to market something!   Most, if not all, of us buy from MLM on a daily basis.  I looked at the site in your signature - are you the only salesperson for that clothing line?  If not, you are running a MLM business as well.  I think the general distaste of MLM is because people confuse it with a pyramid scheme.

To address the second part of your comment, MLM is going to make it easier for people to get started with BTC.  Back to the clothing line in your signature - would you be selling that clothing if you weren't getting a commission on the sales?  Probably not.  GuildMiners is rewarding users for getting their friends into BTC - isn't that the most positive aspect of MLM?
