MLM? What someone was to use it to set up a "Direct Sales" company with the explicit business model that With companies like herbalife, you need to get in on the ground floor if you want a chance to get rich. Here is your chance to sell lovely stuff to other people for the sake of resales, and to get rich off of it!

We live in a post-bitcoin world. People can show up and say "Hey guys! Come over here! We're running a ponzi scam! you know how those work, right? Sign up now!" And people do. And then get butthurt that the scammers took the money and ran right away, rather than paying out the initial investors with the money from later ones like a real ponzi is supposed to. So just so straight on there and say "I want to connect your tootbrush to the internet so that when you run out of toothpaste you can shake your brush and order some more. also it knows when the bristles need replacing and buys a new ones of itself for you." Then say "I'll try my best with your startup money, but if it falls through, I'll make sure to pay the employees their wages before returning what's left to the investors" Make yourself the only employee with a massive salary.

I'm so confused, are you actually able to poo poo/piss in them or are they just a joke Given how scarily obsessed with poo poo the rest of the page and campaign is I'm guessing you actually can

Scaredest I ever gotten of a video game is this one where you take pictures of Japanese ghosts I forget what it was called, and while I was playing it two lamp bulbs in my apartment went out at the same time. Sorry for this post.

I'm not an expert, but these equity crowdfunding campaigns seem like terrible deals. This bar/distillery isn't even offering equity, just promising to repay 10% gross revenue, up to 1.5x your initial investment. https://app.microventures.com/crowd...20161115_equity This smart toy is offering "future equity" conditizonal on a larger, future funding round that may or may not ever happen. https://app.microventures.com/crowd...20161115_equity

This, too, because they're probably using the basics version as a testbed for the limited edition HD version that's $350+. It's at least small steps.
