    Yup, pretty much - MLM is a specific implementation of the pyramid scheme. The key difference between MLM and the NFT scheme is that one expects more suckers; another, bigger suckers.

    Just the sort of “get rich fast” scheme you’d expect in an economical system that assumes the impossible - infinite expansion and growth.

      Good point thanks.

      Now lets talk about the fact that capitalism too is just a pyramid scheme. :)

        “But if you WoRk HaRd for a business you’ll eventually afford your own business! Then you’ll have many people to WoRk HaRd for you! You’ll ger rich!”

        Funnier (or sadder) thing is that the way they defend capitalism also sounds like people selling those schemes.
