By all the definition available anywhere, there is now no argument if Bitcoin can be another ponzi or not. Yes, the fact alone that it has been with us for the past 10 years or so can be a big tell-tale sign that it is here to stay and no ponzi will really be that "hot" for a long, long time. I don't think institutional money will get interested with something they know is just another fad and just another joke. In the past many years, nobody is hiding the fact that Bitcoin has been a very volatile asset - meaning it can go up and can also go down in a very dramatic fashion. When it is down, all we have to do is HODL and when it is up we have the option to let go and make good profits. Now, soon when BTC is up again covering a new ATH level, people who are fond of associating Bitcoin with being just another ponzi will be as cold as snow and as silent as the dead night.
PRIOR manias also went 10+ years, this means nothing
During the south-sea bubble, Sir Isacc Newton smartest man on earth told everybody "This is a scam", on the second wave of south-sea bubble, Newton, feeling he had made a mistake went all-in, he lost his entire family fortune, and became a pauper.
No this time is NOT different, a scam bubble lasting more than 10 years is common, epsecially in fraudulent money scams backed by GOV like in France, the Missisippi Bubble where the kings money was backed by worthless paper stock. Primary reason the french monarchy imploded is that they allowed the 'stock swindlers' to operate the bank of france.
A ponzi just means those that got in early got rich. Check. A pyramid scam means those who got in early get rich
Scammers entering the highest level's of government to stop criminal indictment is common in these financial swindles, the thing is this is the first that SWEPT the earth, but it will not be the last.
1.) BTC is not unique
2.) BTC is easy to hack
3.) BTC is fake pricing backed by USDT which is also backed by nothing
4.) Once the selling starts, the 'price' will go to zero
5.) Just because something went on for 10+ years means nothing the history of financial swindles.
Long after all these bubbles imploded, 1,000's of people were murdered, executed and imprisoned. Only those who sold out early, and left their country's saved their arse.
The latest Bitcointalk Troll continues with his foolish attempt to discredit Bitcoin, but it gives us an excellent opportunity to smash his theories and the FUD that he fabricates.
He says :
1.)
BTC is not uniqueAnswer : Oh yes it is, it was the first Crypto currency, from which all Alt coins was copied and nothing can change that.
2.)
BTC is easy to hackAnswer : Wow, Do your homework fool, It is backed by the most hashing power in the world... no other Alt coin comes close.
3.)
BTC is fake pricing backed by USDT which is also backed by nothingAnswer : Fake? Look at Fiat currencies and how governments manipulate their value. Bitcoin is based on actual Supply and Demand.
4.)
Once the selling starts, the 'price' will go to zeroAnswer : Thats what they said in 2018 and guess what it was $18 000 back then and within a few years it shot up to $60 000
5.)
Just because something went on for 10+ years means nothing the history of financial swindles.Answer : The average lifetime of a paper currencies is 40 years before it fails. Some currencies last longer, like The US Dollar and the Pound sterling.... So I guess Bitcoin is still going strong, compared to other currencies.

Let's end this discussion here guys... because we just giving this Troll exposure... to spread his garbage.
