i mean if we're talking semantics, then yeah 🥲 but i was referring to ponzi as we talk about it colloquially - basically using it to describe the fact that cash inflow must be equal or greater than cash outflow for the structure to stay upright - i understand that by that definition, everything in the world can be defined as a ponzi but the difference is people don't buy consumer goods as speculative investments with no real use case, monetary value or purpose (referring to $ALFA - if $ALFA was tradeable, i would be less inclined to call it a ponzi) agree mechanics were published since day 1 and i'm not debating on the fact it wasn't transparent, just that it was an unsustainable model long term there are many ponzis in the world but i don't think the whole world is, i'm not that sceptical 😭 would definitely say that businesses that provide products that generate revenue from sales can't possibly be zero sum since everybody from the business to the consumer and everywhere in between benefits
