Ahh, sorry, I was multitasking of forcing myself for a quite-late-dinner, typing the post above, and listening to my housemate rambling about his work, I added 1 too much zero.
I'm not good at reading contract, but I dont don't think this project has a smart contract that lock everybody's PAT and the LP? I can't find this info on their very minimalist website, but if I'm correct, then I'll say it's more of a money-grab than a ponzi.
All investors need 4 years before they can earn anything, and if the dev has total control of the LP and or at one point within the 4 years period they got listed on a CEX, it is not impossible for the dev to dump the entire supply they controlled and vanished, especially as during that 4 years, the price have a good chance to move upward, as the dev themselves predicted this,
You are correct that PAT has no value now because the contract was created three days ago. You are also correct PAT price may collapse due to huge inflation one day, which does not mean it cannot surge before its dying. Keep in mind, the first withdraw will happen 4 years later (48 deposits needed), so no huge inflation but only deflation (depositing) within the first four years.
You call the project "really strange and unique". Thank you. This is exactly the value of the project.
