$Jager Jager: when Ponzinomics dresses up in crypto
For the past few weeks, the Jager token has been making headlines. Some are already calling it “the deflationary nugget”, while others praise its “innovative” model based on a buy and sell tax. But behind this marketing veneer lies an ancient, well-known, and fearsome mechanism: Ponzinomics.
The mechanism
Every purchase is taxed at 6%.
Every resale is taxed at 6%.
These fees are then redistributed internally:
• A portion goes to liquidity.
• A portion is returned to holders.
On the surface, the system seems “fair”: those who hold for a long time are rewarded.
In reality, this model relies solely on the continuous arrival of new buyers.
The mathematical reality
• New entrants pay to artificially support the price.
• Large holders wait for the masses to inject their money, then sell at the opportune moment.
• Small investors lose twice: first at entry (tax), then at exit (re-tax).
Here we find the signature of a disguised Ponzi: the early ones win, the last ones pay the bill.
The illusion of wealth
Ponzinomics like Jager operate on a powerful mass psychology:
• We talk about “passive rewards” → to give the impression of a yield.
• We wave around spectacular figures (burns, growth, hype).
• We maintain the belief that “the more you hold, the more you earn”.
But in the absence of fresh money influx, everything collapses. The system is doomed to implode when the wave of buyers slows down.

⚠️ Conclusion
Jager is not an innovative project; it’s an old scam recycled for modern tastes.
The fees of 6% at entry and 6% at exit are not a value creation mechanism, but simply a transfer of money between investors.
The real name of this mechanism?
Ponzinomics.
