Bitcoin is NOT a Ponzi, but...
BTC does have some fascinating similarities to actual Ponzis and that is a primary reason why so many people call it one.
I'll never forget the first time I saw (on a "outside" forum discussion debating about Bitcoin) the phrase "Ponzi group think".
Anyone who believes we do not have a lot of Ponzi-like group think going on (especially during a strong Bull move) is completely blind or hopelessly in denial.

Bitcoin is not a Ponzi. Technically, Bitcoin is a pump and dump.

Bitcoin is a tradeable security with no revenue or assets behind it. Like most pink sheet stocks.

It always really annoys me when people think bitcoin is a ponzi or a scam. Ironically they don't realise why fiat money is a scam.

Bitcoin is not intended as a Ponzi scheme but... if the system of Bitcoin fails, it will have a similar effect of a Ponzi for investors; early adopters will have profited from the late adopters. Also, the value of a bitcoin is dependent on its adoption. Investing in Bitcoin is still a risk; which I have accepted and have taken.

We don't want to fight the current system, but just to make it obsolete and replace it, right?

I don't mind looking at a pretty woman. But somehow in fields of tech and gaming, im always a little aggrivated by
female presenters who clearly don't have a clue of what they are saying, they are just reading a paper, a payed for pretty face used because of the primal features in us men.

In her own mind she would probably make more sense to herself talking Chinese...

Great work. But I doubt Ponzi-sayers will be convinced by this video, since they do not use logic.

This, some people just don't wanna listen. More fool them and unfortunately thats an attitude that a lot of people have to general things in life.

I generally give up after a few trys, they'll come around at some point and if they dont its no real skin off my nose.

Something about her voice / speaking style (not accent) makes it difficult for me to listen to and digest this.
