Let's talk about Ponzi scheme

Hello everyone, I hope your days are going well and full of blessings. This week there was an interesting theme as well as a post that made me learn about the theme in question. Hopefully what I write is useful for me and also those of you who read it, may we always be lucky.

There are various types of investments today, and all of these investments promise their respective benefits, of course with the terms and conditions that apply. There are investments with large capital there are also with small capital, but there are also those that offer large enough profits so that we do not believe how these investments can bring big profits.

However, we must be careful to put the investment funds we have, because crime and fraud in the investment world increasingly deceive us and make us interested in it. One type of investment is a Ponzi scheme, something that is as profitable as and detrimental to most others.

Have you ever heard about ponzi schemes?

For me Ponzi schemes are not so familiar sounds in recent years, a lot of problems occur with this type of investment. So the news in some countries even my country Indonesia had raised the type of investment with this Ponzi scheme. The news was always negative and caused many problems of legal cases, even occurring among the great meaning that comes from Indonesia.

According to what I understand this type of investment with a Ponzi scheme is a way of financial investment that is considered to benefit a few people and harm many people, which if viewed well then this type of investment is a type of investment that is a fraud by embezzling money from its members.

The scheme of this activity is purely to deceive investors from various interested parties, and the activities carried out are illegal. So almost in all countries investment activities with this Ponzi scheme are prohibited financial activities, including in our country Indonesia.

Have you been offered to invest in any of these schemes?

A few years ago I was introduced to a theme about a financial investment that he considered profitable, so if we hear the benefits offered then it becomes interesting to join. Even the kind of offer came from some people, so I had time to think about this investment, although, in the end, I did not follow it.

Some of the strangeness that I knew afterward made me unsure about investing with the activity, because I first looked for information before trying to follow the activity. With this information, I assume and believe that the investment offered to me is a type of illegal investment that is prohibited.

Do you know how to detect Ponzi schemes?

As far as I know at the moment, we can assume and detect whether an investment is a Ponzi scheme or not. Long ago I've been trying to find information about the characteristics of an investment called illegal one of which is this Ponzi scheme investment.

How to detect it, simply by looking at how profits can be obtained from the investment. Here are some things that I think are ways to detect Ponzi schemes.

1. You need to know that investment profits are not always positive, because good investments follow several factors of circumstances and the market. Small risks and very large profits, could be an indication of illegal investments or could be related to Ponzi scheme investments.
2. Usually the types of investments that are problematic are unregistered investments, either registered with the Financial Services Authority or official state institutions, Ponzi schemes being one of them.
3. Document problems, and completeness of documents into consideration that should be seen. This is evidence that the investor invested his money, the incompleteness of the document is a suspicion.
4. Furthermore, the Ponzi scheme type of investment strategy will run very secret or seem secret, this happens so that investors find it difficult to understand the type of investment they are doing.

Those are some of the ways I detect investments that I consider problematic, one of which is related to Ponzi schemes.

Do you think Steemit is a ponzi scheme?

Steemit clearly has nothing to do with Ponzi schemes, because everything related to profits and benefits is clear. No capital is used for initial investment, users are even rewarded with rewards from their activeness. Rewards earned from Steemit can instead be invested, a simple illustration that Steemit has nothing to do with Ponzi schemes.

Another simple picture is, Steemit is a social Media that benefits users, is obtained for free and enjoys their presence on social media here.
