After obscure cryptocurrency, Ronaldinho Gaucho bet on multilevel marketing

Have you heard about Ronaldinho Soccer Coin (RSC)? Yeah, most don't either, because she barely made it to the market and sort of has been missing, without much information on how to perform the operations and schedule late goals. The former Brazilian National Team star seems to have left the cryptocurrency behind and showed his newest bet involving multilevel marketing (MMN).

The MMN segment is the one that deals with the distribution of goods or services that make a profit through the recruitment of new sellers. 18kRonaldinho's idea is to use its brand by marketing items that have as their flagship a line of custom watches. According to a report by UOL, the initiative already has 2, 300 members.

To participate in the program, you need to invest $ 999. The new member receives four watches and sells each for up to $ 600 to keep the excess. It is also possible to enter a smaller investment, only for affiliate sale. Each product output generates a score and when trading a watch, the employee receives 150 points. Nominating a new member adds 500 points.

To win a paid-all trip to Cancun, Bora Bora or Costa do Sauipe, you need to collect 3 million points in 3 months. And the promise is even of a bonus involving a Porsche Panemera.

Business model may look like “pyramid”

MMN is often used as bait for pyramid-based business models. For this reason, it is often seen more carefully by the authorities, especially when member recruitment is more important than selling their own products.

Fernando Branco, Rio Grande do Sul Civil Police delegate, was responsible for the operation that discovered a bitcoin scam from D9 Entrepreneurs last year. For him, this market structure is good for those who are higher in the hierarchy, but who is below ends up at a loss.

18kRonaldinho CEO Bruno Rodrigues says it is not a “pyramid” because it does not guarantee a financial return. “With us, the person makes a low investment, uses the products and participates in a structure to develop and increase the market for the product. Our system is meritocratic, not who came first. ”

Branco says he is not familiar with how 18kRonaldinho's operations work. Rodriguez and Ronaldinho, on the other hand, have ambitious expansion plans and want to become “the largest MMN company in the world”.
