Hi Alex, this website is more than another scam or ponzi scheme, by the amount of time invested in a platform - they have even their own cryptocurrency - I would say that it's not a "wanna be", they are the real deal.
On the other way, there were several dozen ponzy schemes such as Metizer, Recyclix, Vixice, Chronium 5, Carbon5, Zinc5, and I can go on forever.
People will make / lose money with these websites, it's like gambling, but some do it better than others.
