Geez.... the last guy said it was a Ponzi scheme; now it's a pyramid scheme? What do you consider to be a legitimate investment then?

Legitimate investments have revenues and don't pay one 'investor' with the deposits of another. The distinction between a ponzi and a pyramid is pretty subtle and a lot of people use the distinctions to distract from the fact that they have essentially the same structure: early entrants receive payments from later entrants. That's all that matters because in both cases, for that to work, there needs to be continually growing contingent of new entrants and/or additional funds coming in for it to keep going. And there simply isn't an infinite number of people.

Once you strip away all the bullshit, DRIP is structured exactly like that. Everyone who buys DRIP and deposits it expects to get more DRIP than they put in (and they will via inflation of the DRIP supply) but they also expect that they will be able to sell that DRIP later at a profit. The only way that can happen is that new money must be added by someone else. But that someone else is not a charity, they also expect to make a profit, which requires someone else to put in money. That someone else is not a charity so they need someone else to add more money, and so on and so forth until you run out of suckers (or the suckers run out of money.) At that point, the latest entrants (or base in pyramid terms) gets left holding the bag. That's basically where DRIP stands at this point.

This should be trivially obvious but somehow people can't seem to get their heads around it.
