The Expected but Missing in a narrative pattern

I am particularly proud of these lines of code:

  if 0.25 _le_ node.GOF and node.GOF _le_ 0.75:
   # find the missing node (if there is just one)
   EBM = node.nar.getExpectedButMissing()
   if EBM==NULL_VAR :
      continue

   #convert the context into children of that node
   a = self.C.getAll() 
   a2  = EBM.filter(a)
   if len(a2)==0:
      continue

The routine then proceeds to grab as many entries from a2 as needed, if available, and inserts them into the incomplete narrative.

Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme

Early players got easy to get coins, later players got harder to get coins, and the value of the coins has grown. Sure it is geeky but it is a classic pyramid scheme. Is that legal?
