Bet YES if you think the Ponzi shenanigans are going to last and be profitable

Bet NO if you think they will have an inevitable downfall!

Or bet however you want, just don't be the last holding the bag... ๐Ÿ‘€


edit: his refers to the silly "completely legal Ponzi schemes" on manifold, rather than real-life Ponzi schemes.

[แน€2790 PAID OUT] Manifold's First Ever All-Pay Ponzi Lottery! [WEALTH AWAITS YOU...]
๐ŸŽฉ Introducing Manifold's First Ever All-Pay Ponzi Lottery! ๐ŸŽฉ Welcome to a fun and not-at-all-evil game of risk and reward. Are you the calculating early bird or the daring latecomer? Read on... as treasures lie ahead for both! HOW TO JOIN >>> Leave a comment <<< (The only way for me to award bounties) Add แน€100 to the bounty: click on the "question details" vertical ellipses โ‹ฎ (top right) and then: [image]RULES ๐Ÿฆ… The Early Bird Bonus: For the valiant pioneers, each new entrant bears gifts. When new players join, half of their stake is divided evenly among all who came before them. The sooner you enter, the greater your potential haul from future entrants. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ The Latecomers' Loot: Fashionably late? Fear not! A bounty has been amassed just for you by those early adventurers. The remaining half of each stake will be split evenly among anyone who joins after. โณ The September Surprise: Hereโ€™s the twist: the game ends on a mystery date in the last week of September (some time before September 30, 11:59:59 AM PT, and after Manifest begins, on September 22 at 10:00 AM PT). Only at that point will the Latecomers' Loot be paid out. The date and time have already been picked. Here's the SHA-256 Hash for the mystery keyphrase revealing the date: 5afb323bb546dcfc3d74b8fe4c5d587c1415c0238ebcf4fcb2f68006dda6e8e6 ๐Ÿ• Why the Loot will Moon: The All-Pay Ponzi Lottery combines three core mechanics: It mirrors a Ponzi scheme where early entrants benefit most, incentivizing buy-in before the chaotic final week. The unpredictable ending introduces a lottery aspect, where the biggest winners of the Latecomers' Loot remain unclear until the game concludes. In the final week, every player contributes to a growing pot, regardless of whether they "win" (e.g. manage to be the last player), similar to an all-pay auction. Together, these elements incentivize explosive pot growth ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€ The All-Pay Ponzi Lottery beckons โ€“ a game of wit, timing, and chaos. Do you have the mettle to master it and claim your fortune? Buy in... if you dare! ๐ŸŽฒ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ›  Technical Notes: I'll claim a small แน€3 maintenance fee for each new stake (in line with the new participant reward for free-response questions) To claim a stake, you must spend at least แน€100 and leave a comment. I can only award a bounty to existing comments. New staked positions will be claimed whenever a player's buy-in reaches a new multiple of แน€100. Any remainder will be marked "unclaimed" and distributed at the end of the game Early bird bonuses will be distributed continuously throughout the game as new entrants join Write "minimum_payout=X" in your comment to choose the frequency of your rewards (defaults to 5) This spreadsheet tracks the final payouts for all players Thank you to @CodeandSolder for the inspiration!

they are very profitable, 25% and change :D

@CodeandSolder will it be that way forever, though! ๐Ÿ˜‚

predicts BUY

@d Only if the SEC doesnโ€™t come barging in like the Spanish Inquisition wanting to break up a perfectly functional thing with fake monies

One suggestion: You may want to change the title in a way that makes it clear that this refers to the silly "completely legal Ponzi schemes" here, rather than real-life Ponzi schemes.
