A Frequently Repeated Misconception About Infinity-Economics
For years, critics have stubbornly claimed that Infinity-Economics (IE) is an MLM system – pointing to MyCryptoWorld (MCW) or the former MCC token.
At first glance, this accusation may seem plausible, but it is simply wrong.
The confusion stems from mixing up two completely different things: the community-building phase on one side and the blockchain itself on the other.
The Real Background
MyCryptoWorld (MCW) – The Community Builder
In late 2015/early 2016, experienced Bitcoiners founded the independent group MyCryptoWorld.
Their ambitious and clear goal: the creation of a modern, independent, native blockchain – Infinity-Economics.
To reach as many people as possible before the official launch, they used a referral program (MLM principle) for community building.
This program started in early 2016 and ran exactly until December 31, 2016.
During this time, the then MCC tokens were distributed – not as the final product, but as a preparation for what was to come.
MCW was exclusively responsible for building a large and active community.
With over 30,000 members by the end of the program, the goal was clearly achieved.
Once this phase was completed, MCW was dissolved – not because it failed, but because its mission was fully accomplished.
Infinity-Economics – The Independent Blockchain
On January 10, 2017, the Genesis process of the blockchain was initiated.
Key characteristics:
- Consensus: Proof of Stake (PoS) – all coins are created at Genesis; no later creation through mining.
- Independence – no company, no central operator, no controlling authority.
- Decentralized governance – decisions are made by the DAO, not by a management body.
Infinity-Economics itself has no built-in ability to pay commissions or bonuses.
Technically, it would be possible (in future versions such as IE 2.0) to implement affiliate structures or even MLM functionalities as optional features – but the blockchain itself does not pay out.
This is a crucial distinction: if payouts occur, they happen solely through project-based smart contract structures, not through the core system.
On January 28, 2017, IE was officially handed over to the community – free, open, and without any obligations to MCW or MCC.
The Crucial Difference
- MCW/MCC = Marketing and community-building phase until the end of 2016
- Infinity-Economics = Independent blockchain, launched in January 2017
MCW made the project known and built a strong launch community with over 30,000 members.
As a reward, members received not only their XIN tokens (the equivalent of the MCC tokens) but also proportional InfinityDAO assets.
After the official launch on January 28, 2017, the paths diverged: MCW and MCC were dissolved because their purpose had been fulfilled.
IE, however, launched as a fully functional blockchain – independent, decentralized, and without central commissions.
Why the Criticism Misses the Mark
The accusation that IE is an MLM is based on a false equation of MCW/MCC with IE.
In reality, IE is not an MLM, never was, and in its core system it cannot be:
- No automatic commissions in the core system
- No central payouts
- No dependency on an operator or company
Anyone criticizing Infinity-Economics today should stick to the facts – and not confuse community marketing with blockchain architecture.
Straight Talk for the Future
Infinity-Economics is one of the few true, independent blockchains.
Its history shows:
- The community was strategically and successfully built
- The blockchain launched without ICO, without hype, without dependencies
- Since 2017, it has been running stably, securely, and without central control
MCW was the preparation – IE is the result.
Mixing the two is not only inaccurate, but simply wrong.
The truth is: Without MCW, IE would not have had such a strong start – and without IE, MCW would have been meaningless.
