Can someone give me a TLDR on proteo and why you guys are arguing over it being a ponzi or not?

-Man wants to know why Proteo isn't a ponzi -man wants to know where the USDC and EGLD rewards comes from (wrong, rewards are paid in sProteo) -We tell him go ask the devs or admins there -man is scared of getting blocked or banned -We insist because we're not experts in the topic and want him to ask the relavent group -man accuses us of being smartass trolls
