yap, 100% bitcoin is not ponzi, no one promises big profits with bitcoin, all done at its own risk and no intention to invite someone
bitcoin itself has succeeded in becoming a digital currency, with blockchain technology that has the potential to change the world

Will not agree with your friends Cheesy It doesn't work that way, it already made a respectable reputation to the world as they have seen how Bitcoin can be potential replacement of fiat maybe in the future.

Right.  None of the ponzi scheme created the same year with Bitcoin still exists today.  The scheme doesn't last very long because the maths doesn't work that well... Early investors usually get enriched before the scheme implodes. Cryptocurrency is a bit like Stock market but more advanced. Cryptocurrency also servs  as currency.

if you really think that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme only because of the price crash, then it only means that you are an unexperienced investor in here

Bitcoin can't be ponzi. Nakamoto didn't scammed single person. Bitcoin doesn't been hold by 1 person. Maybe Bitcoin growing rate made it so people are still thinking it's something like ponzi.

Bitcoin is far from being a ponzi scheme.  Ponzi scheme (which appears in different disguise these days) is a scheme that uses the money of new "investors" to pay older "investors"). I used "investors" because the scheme usually do not invest in anything. The new investors are their investment. After a while, especially when there are no new investors, the platform owners absconds with the people's funds. Bitcoin is far from this scenario. Bitcoin is decentralized.  Nobody holds  your funds as long  as you have your private keys and password. You can withdraw your money at anytime. Those who bought Bitcoin in 2009 still have their funds in their wallet unless they have withdrawn it. If it were a Ponzi scheme,  the scheme would have vanished long time ago. Certainly, Bitcoin is not and cannot be a Ponzi scheme.

If bitcoin was ponzi scheme it would have run away and we wouldn't have bitcoin. Bitcoin has survive in good and in very bad times as well. Ponzi scheme is where there are people behind bitcoin but bitcoin don't have backing so how it can be ponzi scheme.

No, Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, Bitcoin is working on latest blockchain technology that is well-known technology and in other ways, Bitcoin is legally treated in many countries, If it is Ponzi than it does not deal as legal money,

Bitcoins are basically a product with a settled rate of issuance. It's anything but a ponzi on the grounds that after you've obtained bitcoins, there is no guarantee broadened that you can recover them for any esteem and there are no profits paid to the individuals who hold bitcoins. Bitcoins are exchanged, so the swapping scale can rise or fall, so there are the individuals who will purchase or offer bitcoins to hypothesize on the cost

Ponzi always give profit for peoples who join earlier, but bitcoin not.
If you believe that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, then you can look for the peoples who join bitcoin late.
in bitcoin, Even if you join late, you still will get the profit later.

The internet is full of people like Mark Cuban and great investors like Warren Buffet who are not in favor of investing in bitcoin and then there are tech companies which are building it own sub companies and investing highly in crypto and blockchain, its just a matter of understanding the system, crypto is a risk but a risk worth taking. But it is not a Ponzi scheme.

By definition a Ponzi is a fraud investors are tricked into joining, which dies when there are no longer sufficient new investors.

Bitcoin tech couldn't be more transparent, however much the price may undulate, bitcoin has function and substance worth investing in unlike a Ponzi.

That is the ideology that bitcoin critics always hold, that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, without them knowing the blockchain technology and what bitcoin really stand for. Ponzi scheme depend on others money to fulfil their promises ,but bitcoins is different.

Bitcoin is a digital money it is like our regular currency but this is in the form of digital money.Bitcoin costs are high. Bitcoin is not used to transfer money. No projects on Bitcoin. Prices only go up when there are more buyers, so it acts like the current Ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin is not a pyramid scheme. Its a coin backed up with technology  that has real use case

yes bitcoin is not ponzi/ pyramid scheme, bitcoins are more like stock, shares of a company with no assets, no products, and no staff or shares in a pure ponzi schema.
The value of bitcoin is supposed to come only from the existence of an secure ledger that records the distribution of coins among numerous accounts.

No, it is not  a ponzi scheme. Ponzi scheme is based on adding new member to buy the product for commission. No such option with bitcoins.
