Crashing Down: Our 6-Month MLM Experiment Ends in Crushing Financial Silence
We built a 5-level MLM referral system. 6 months, 6 users, $0 earned. Post-mortem. This is the unsexy part of building in public: the thing that didn't work. An internal currency ("crystals", 1💎 = $0.10) earned through a 5-level referral pyramid: L1 referral: 5💎 + 1💎/day passive L2: 2💎 + 0.5💎/d
