A pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme is a strategy where the parties involved have to contribute money to a central party that then redistributes that money preferentially to the members with higher status or history in the system. It's a Zero sum Game and a scam.

I'm not saying anything about ponzi schemes. I'm only saying that developers have to come together independently and try to reap the oportunities helping those who have money but don't have the time to sweep the informatic floor (just kidding)
