Ponzi

A Ponzi Scheme^{1Also known as a "Pyramid Scheme", although sometimes these
terms are used to mean slightly different things} is a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a non-existent enterprise is fostered by the payment of returns to earlier investors using money invested by later investors.

This tree represents one Ponzi Scheme structure, however, nobody is pretending there's any enterprise. This piece of digital artwork is very transparently representing a Ponzi scheme, minus the deception.

Anyone can buy circles to build the tree. I'm curious; will people buy circles, even though the underlying structure is in full view?

How it Works

You can buy a circle for £10. If both circles below it are purchased, you will earn £20 (via a PayPal email). If nobody ever buys the circles below yours, you earn nothing.

Disclaimer

This is a piece of digital artwork, not an investment. Over half the circles bought will never pay out (seriously, that's how the math works out).
