Do you consider pyramid scheme as business?

[nomad]

A pyramid scheme is not a business, it is a scam. There is a difference between a scam and a business. Business means you sell and make money, pyramid scheme means you take money from people and run away.

Some people do view pyramid schemes as a business because of the potential for financial gain. However, it's important to also acknowledge that a pyramid scheme is not a sustainable or ethical business model and can harm individuals and their investments.

Pyramid schemes are not businesses. Anyone taking it as a business would surely cry at the end.

This form of business creates an unsustainable model that ultimately collapses when it becomes impossible to recruit enough new participants to pay returns to earlier investors.

 

[King Belieal]

There is no pyramid scheme that I know that has survived for more than four months. Not worth it.

It's not worth getting involved in something that is destined to fail and harm others in the process.

Any business conscious person cant take pyramid scheme to be a business. I don't like business that isn't really legit

Any venture that operates on a pyramid scheme has a 60% chance of failing at any point in time.

Pyramid schemes do have high failure rates. They often collapse when the recruitment slows down.

I don't consider pyramid schemes as a business. I see it as an advanced gambling which might pay or won't pay.

 

[Nite]

It is risky and unsustainable business. People often lose their money in the end.

 

[Kosi G]

Pyramid schemes are dependent on a system that keeps bringing people into it to fund it. There is no long term sustainability to it.

 

[Nite]

Pyramid schemes are indeed unsustainable in the long run because they rely on constantly recruiting new participants to generate profits for those at the top.
