What is Hellcoin you may ask? Well the idea is extremely simple yet innovative. It’s a reverse Ponzi scheme. It rewards latecomers (instead of early investors and founder like in regular Ponzi schemes) and does not collapse from unsustainable growth but instead snowballs into an ever growing black hole indefinitely. It’s like a chicken game on the blockchain. Don’t believe me? Here are the parameters:

Gazpacho posted:as far as I've ever seen, the investors at the edge of the scheme were not investing sophisticates and left the decisions to wealth managers. There's no way the managers who dealt with Madoff directly didn't suspect. Time for the monthly retelling of the story of Harry Markopolous! Short version: in 1999/2000 or so, Harry got hired by a rival investment shop to reverse-engineer Bernie Madoff's investing strategy so they could offer a rival fund to their clients. While trying to do that, Harry realized that Madoff's returns were fundamentally impossible, and from then on he hollered about how it was fraudulent to anyone who would listen. Nobody listened. So nothing happened, until the financial crisis caused enough withdrawals from Madoff's fund that the scheme collapsed and Madoff's own sons turned him in late 2008. e: f, b

Haven’t paid attention to the arcade tokens for sociopaths in ages, is this another one of those hashing effort cliffs being reached? The price going down is always good entertainment but hearing about mining operations shutting down en masse is legit great news. I wonder what it’ll be like when bitcoin mining stops entirely. I’m sure other coins and the tether fraud will continue (or not) independently but it’ll be fascinating to see the effects of the pool of canonical BTC freezing.
