If it shows sustainable growth, what's the problem? Let's say their plan was to dip when they make $10 million, but instead their reports show by keeping their doors open they can make $20 million a year. If everyone involved is profiting, and it seems like it is sustainable, sounds like a functioning economy to me.

I'm not saying it's NOT a ponzi scheme, per se. I'm just saying maybe we need to re-evaluate if ponzi schemes are actually bad in the context of a digital global economy.
