>These people should not have gone "all in" on a risky investment

People shouldn't go to a casino either thinking it's a money maker. They see a high risk/high reward investment option and are not properly educated about the risk or significantly misinformed with statements like it being "fairly safe". You encouraging people to look for similar ponzi schemes to invest in even though you seem to know a fair bit about how it works, just proves that point.



>significantly misinformed with statements like it being "fairly safe"

I agree that you should DYOR, do your own research, and not just trust what others are saying so that you know what you are actually getting yourself into. My point of that comment was that high APR does not necessarily mean that there is high risk.

>You encouraging people to look for similar ponzi schemes to invest in

I am not trying to encourage people and these are not ponzi schemes. If I was trying to encourage people I would link directly to where you can find it. I also tried to be clear in saying that there is always risk in doing this. The fact is projects are looking for liquidity and are willing to pay you for it. This doesn't guarantee that doing so will be profitable for you though.
