According to @MilkRoadDaily, a dangerous trend is emerging in Web3 where venture capital (VC) funds prioritize rapid token exits over sustainable product development, creating structures that function like Ponzi schemes. The source notes that while global venture financing declined to $23 billion in April, a significant portion still flows into token deals designed for quick profits, using new investors as exit liquidity for insiders. This model is under increasing regulatory scrutiny, as evidenced by a $198 million SEC fraud case and a 97-month prison sentence for a crypto platform co-owner involved in a similar scheme. The author warns that this focus on 'Ponzinomics' leads to a graveyard of 'zombie protocols' and erodes Web3's reputation, pushing talent and institutional capital towards more transparent sectors. This trend is seen as a betrayal of crypto's original cypherpunk ethos, with the author citing examples like Coinbase's political engagements as a sign of the industry being co-opted by the very systems it was meant to challenge.

According to AltcoinGordon, VanEck's Matthew Sigel has stated that fiat currencies operate like a Ponzi scheme, positioning Bitcoin as a potential escape for investors. This view highlights a trading opportunity in Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation. Traders should consider the demand for Bitcoin as a refuge asset, which might influence its price dynamics.

According to André Dragosch, the debate around Bitcoin being a 'ponzi scheme' is countered by referencing historical changes in the global monetary system. Dragosch highlights the years 1915 and 1971, implying significant shifts in monetary policy that might parallel current digital currency trends. This historical context may influence traders' perceptions and strategies regarding Bitcoin's long-term potential as an asset class.

The tweet includes an image, but without further context, it raises questions about the legitimacy or activities of @ponzisaur. Traders should be cautious and conduct further research before engaging with entities associated with this name.

According to ZachXBT, he will not investigate a scheme that advertises 1% daily and 3500% annual returns, labeling it as an obvious Ponzi scheme and unsustainable.
