ZmartBit Review: Ten-tier bitcoin pyramid scheme
ZmartBit provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.
ZmartBit’s website domain (“zmartbit.com”) was privately registered on September 20th, 2019.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
ZmartBit’s Products
ZmartBit has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market ZmartBit affiliate membership itself.
ZmartBit affiliate membership provides access to “Crypto University” (also cited as “Bitcoin University”).
Crypto University appears to contain cryptocurrency educational material.
ZmartBit’s Compensation Plan
ZmartBit affiliates pay $260 to sign up. Commissions are paid when they recruit others who do the same.
ZmartBit pays recruitment commissions via a hybrid 4×10 matrix.
A standard 4×10 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with four positions directly under them.
These four positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting each of these four positions into another four positions each.
From the third level, ZmartBiz’s hybrid matrix generates new positions on each level by multiples of two instead of four.
That is level three houses thirty-two positions (up from sixteen on level two). Level four houses sixty-four positions and so on and so forth.
Note that the image above illustrates a standard 4×10 matrix. Stated position numbers for levels three and four (64 and 256) are incorrect.
Positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of ZmartBit affiliates.
Commissions are paid out as positions in the matrix are filled. How much of a commission is paid out is determined by which level of the matrix a position is filled.
Each level of the matrix operates as a commission tier, requiring a fee paid and additional qualification criteria.
- White – sign up and pay $260, earn $125 per position filled on level 1 (4 positions)
- Green (recruit two affiliates who each recruit two affiliates) – pay another $260, recruit two affiliates who each recruit two affiliates, and earn ~$156 per position filled on level 2 (16 positions)
- Yellow – pay another $530 and earn ~$156 per position filled on level 3 (32 positions)
- Orange – pay another $1060 and earn ~$156 per position filled on level 4 (64 positions)
- Blue – pay another $2100 and earn ~$156 per position filled on level 5 (128 positions)
- Pink – pay another $4200 and earn ~$78 per position filled on level 6 (256 positions)
- Bronze – pay another $8300 and earn ~$46 per position filled on level 7 (512 positions)
- Silver – pay another $8400 and earn ~$23 per position filled on level 8 (1024 positions)
- Gold – pay another $8500 and earn ~$11 per position filled on level 9 (2048 positions)
- Platinum – pay another $8600 and earn ~$6 per position filled on level 10 (4096 positions)
Joining ZmartBit
ZmartBit affiliate membership is $260.
Full participation in ZmartBit’s income opportunity costs $42,210.
Note that all payments within ZmartBit (both paid and received) are made in bitcoin.
Conclusion
ZmartBit is a straight-forward pyramid scheme.
New affiliates sign up, pay a fee and get paid to recruit others who do the same.
Nothing is marketed to or sold to retail customers, leaving 100% commissions paid out within ZmartBit tied to recruitment.
And for a pyramid scheme, ZmartBit isn’t even mathematically sound.
As unlock fees increase each matrix level (up to $8000 at Bronze and higher), commissions paid out per position filled reduce.
Where does the rest of the money go? Into the anonymous ZmartBit admin’s pocket.
As for the “Crypto Education” pseudo-compliance, quite obviously nobody is paying fees over and over again for the same “education”.
What’s really being traded within ZmartBit are matrix positions.
You buy a position, get paid when others are recruited who also buy positions. Pay more money to unlock higher position tiers and so on and so forth.
Like all MLM pyramid schemes, ZmartBiz will collapse once recruitment dries up. The math behind pyramid schemes guarantees that the majority of participants will lose money.
It’s also important to note ZmartBit’s use of bitcoin. This means that when ZmartBit inevitably collapses, victim fund recovery will be near impossible.
Thanks for the spectacular review. You have saved me and others from investing money in Zmartbit.
It is really surprising how this is even allowed, they tried to disguise the ‘education’ portion as the product but who would buy the same course over and over?
Also, super shady that Greg perdriel (bitconnect) is involved in this. Sad of those that will fall for this.
another red flag is when Mack Mills and Greg Perdriel are involved you know it’s a scam. Zmartbit will never last.
First Bitconnect, then CloudToken, now Zmartbit. There’s still plenty of room in the NFL (No Friends Left) Club for those who want to lead more folks down the wrong road yet again.
Just sat thru another ‘webinar’ this screams scam from the 1st slide– no not interested!
I am in Zmartbit and it is a good company you get you money back in your wallet in 5 seconds cero fraud .
Well duh, ZmartBit is a newly launched pyramid scheme.
You’ll get paid till recruitment collapses, then kaboom and sorry for your loss.
Hi I have been a member since January 2020 and paid 260 and received it back instantly and now only making profit, and the above information you have is incorrect, you need to stay tune and stop the lies, this is a complete business center.
The members are happy and we all get paid. Guess what their is no more money required.
One time out of pocket, and you get that back. What pyramid does that, now all the haters have a blessed day.
Feel free to point out any incorrect information. The review is based on ZmartBit’s business model as of November 2019.
Any pyramid scheme that charges a one-time fee. Herp derp.
Your information is incorrect and you are robbing all the people that believe this bull of a great opportunity.
You have no idea what Zmartbit is all about and all that they have to offer.
Nah, nailed it. But feel free to point out how ZmartBit isn’t a pyramid scheme as dissected.
The only people robbing here are the scammers running and promoting ZmartBit.
Can you update the review? It seems there are now some products and services offered.
Recent presentation on their youtubes: youtube.com/watch?v=4O_21kSHoE
Video unavailable.
Also without doing any further research myself I’ll let you know that unless retail is happening, adding products to a pyramid scheme doesn’t make it any less of a pyramid scheme.
Sorry about that, (Ozedit: link removed, see below), that one should work. I agree with you, I was just introduced to it.
Got around to watching the video and yeah, adding products to a pyramid scheme still leaves ZmartBit a pyramid scheme.
Removed the video link as it’s marketing spam.
Hello! I am still curious to know WHY, you would still have this review dated back when Zmartbit launched it’s BETA version as the TOP review for Zmartbit?
Under your review their is NOTHING but positive reviews and a complete different business model and presentation from this article, and I myself HAVE endured the products and love it.
I didn’t need to recruit or sell anything to anyone to earn. (Where’s the pyramid?) The one time payment disrupts Cotscos, Sam Clubs.. all subscription models….. which charges members annually or monthly to walk in the building just to have access to whatever for a month with Netflix, Adobe..all those models.
Where’s the scam in a ONE time payment for life to have access to money making products?
I’m confused by your perspective of that… at least change your review to reflect the current model.
You are paying to be the top search results and all that SEO stuff which showcases the sleaziness that BehindMLM represents.
Your reviews are all FAKE NEWS. I will do my best to rebrand BehindMLM as such if you keep this old ass review up.
If you watched the video, then you should know you have to write this entire article over. Because despite your angle of saying its a pyramid scheme with products…still makes it a scheme..lol.. how?
everything is paid out in real time.. $0 debt. Why are you leaving that part out? Where is the scheme?
lol Anyway the new video you just admitted watching.. is it the same info you have in this article? I bet not… Get to work and change it…
Because AFAIK ZmartBit’s compensation plan is the same, meaning it’s still a ten-tier bitcoin pyramid scheme.
Feel free to point any changes to the compensation plan ZmartBit has made and I’ll take a look.
You not personally recruiting doesn’t change the fact whatever you earned was tied to recruitment (indirect).
None of those business are recruitment-driven pyramid schemes so ZmartBit isn’t disrupting anything.
Adding products to pyramid recruitment doesn’t change the pyramid model.
Because both are irrelevant to ZmartBit being a pyramid scheme.
By you stating the word “Scheme” does not define the pyramid structure at all as being a scheme just because you are placing the word there. How is a structure in itself a scheme? lol.
Let’s start there. 1 sale.. 10 wallets are paid in real time. What is the “Scheme” in this technology? Please be descriptive as possible please.
Then we can talk about real time pyramids I guess. It is irrelevant only because your scheme has no definition.
Please provide proof of said scheme and who has been scammed in real time purchasing for a license or membership they want, just like someone (Ozedit: derail waffle removed)
English please. ZmartBit is a pyramid scheme because new recruits sign up, pay a fee and that fee is paid to existing affiliates.
The matrix “stucture” is explained in the review to illustrate the flow of money within the ZmartBit’s pyramid business model.
When sale = affiliate recruitment you’re in a pyramid scheme.
If you want further proof, verify against ZmartBit’s own business model – which this review is based on.
Any stupid attempted comparisons between ZmartBit and Costco et al, that have nothing to do with matrix-based pyramid recruitment, will continue to be marked as spam.
The diagram of 10 tier is incorrect and false info. it is 6 affiliates that get paid, and 4 other nodes for holdings and savings for each members account.
Do you even know what Bitcoin (Ozedit: derail waffle removed)
Right, so ten tiers. Thank you, come again.
You are so off base with your analysis. Sure there is a fee to join. What company these days does not?
Have you tested the products? Why don’t you join up, test the products and then give an honest review.
The point of this “scheme” is to train and help those that are looking for a side hustle or extra income.
Check out the binary trading module for yourself please. I think that the smartbit owners have learned from their past experience and have developed a system that works for all involved.
I’ll tell you all that I am truly making 1.5% per day trading with the binary signals.
Whether there is a fee to join is not the reason ZmartBit is a pyramid scheme.
Whether I’ve tested the products or not is irrelevant to ZmartBit being a pyramid scheme.
generate recruitment commissions, as per ZmartBit’s compensation plan.
What you are or aren’t making per day has nothing to do with ZmartBit being a pyramid scheme.
