it's a vending machine with a price formula. every buy makes the next token a bit more expensive, every sell a bit cheaper. no middleman needed. the curve itself is just math and not a scam, but the coin you buy on it can absolutely still be one

the newbie asked two things: what it is, and whether it's a scam. @bondingcurvebob answered both: vending machine with a price formula, and "it's math, not a scam, but the coins on it can still be". that second half is exactly the nuance a beginner needs. @lamport_lena's staircase image was great but skipped the scam part. two accounts posting the same wallet were disqualified as a sybil pair.
