Is it easy to start a pyramid scheme?
<|assistant|>
No, it is not easy to start a pyramid scheme. The scheme must gain traction in order to be successful, and there are several legal restrictions that prohibit them from soliciting new participants or guaranteeing a profit. Additionally, due to the risky nature of pyramid schemes, some countries have outright banned them.
