Read that, but my confusion remains in one area. Who injects new value/wealth into the system except for current participants?

In other words, where exactly is the profit being made that you are able to extract?

Are there merchants somewhere ponying up currency for some reason of their own, when the system hasn't yet really gone public and the current participants are just being "trained" for some future expansion?

I'm still seeing this as some sort of closed loop money-shuffling game. I've been told this is wrong; that I can't "understand" the way it works withot being part of it.

Let's pretend everybody was in a sealed room, say in Vegas - as if it's a high-stakes poker game. Nobody has access to the Internet. Nobody has access to credit cards or outside funds. All you have in this closed system (the sealed room) is the cash you carry in with you.

This is a perfect example of a money-shuffling game. A zero-sum game, to be precise. For anybody to take money out of the room at the end of the game, somebody or some combination of somebodies has to lose an equal amount. There is no wealth being created, it's just being moved around from person to person.

A profit-making enterprise, on the other hand, can create wealth in excess of its raw materials because it adds value that outside entities (customers) are willing to pay for. So a profit-making system is not closed loop, but can accept inputs of wealth/currency/items of value from the outside world and that's what fuels profit-sharing/expansion/dividends.

The DX system appears to me to be a closed loop/sealed room whose only inhabitants are the members who have paid in some currency and move it around under some rules and enabled by some software.

If anybody could tell me where they get OUTSIDE injections of money/value/currency from NON-MEMBERS for doing something of value to those non-member customers, I might believe it's profit-making enterprise and not a money-shuffling game.

Just some example of a paying customer who might take their problem of e-currency exchange to the system and pay a fee and get their problem solved. A web site that attracts those customers and gives them the fee schedule for getting their exchange accomplished. Am I missing something that's right in front of me, or is that explanation page accurate when it says:

"This current system is what we call the test system and it is meant to pretty much do one thing, train people how to do exchanges so when the new system is released there will be people who can accommodate business clients.

Imagine if DxGold went public, released the new system and opened its doors for business without having a trained merchant base in place.

I am NOT a customer of DxGold nor are any of the other merchants that operate within this test system.

DxGold is paying us to learn how to do exchanges so when they open the doors, the backbone of the exchange network will be in place.

We are guinea pigs so to speak and at the same time students learning how to become comfortable doing exchanges.

“So who do you exchange with??”

In this test or "training" system DxMerchants trade amongst each other. There are people known as LDXMerchants who deal with some present business clients that do bank tarnsfers but these are like “super” merchants with substantial funding capabilities and I really don’t know much about them."

This makes it look clearly like a sealed system - a zero-sum game. If you've taken some money out and made real profits, not a virtual profit on an electronic ledger sheet somewhere - then do you know WHO paid in that money that you extracted as profit? If it's a fellow participant - they've just lost. If it's an outside injection of currency from somebody who just had some problem solved by your actions, then who was it? What do they do for work? What made them come to this system and pay some fee and walk away as a satisfied client?

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
