WRONG!  Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme.

It's the new Tulipmania, Nigerian Prince, or Beanie Babies!   Cool



Beaniecoin, I meant Bitcoin, collect them while they're still hot!

In a Ponzi Scheme, the founders persuade investors that they’ll profit. Bitcoin does not make such a guarantee. There is no central entity, just individuals building an economy.

A Ponzi scheme is a zero sum game. In a ponzi scheme, early adopters can only profit at the expense of late adopters, and the late adopters always lose. Bitcoin can have a win-win outcome. Earlier adopters profit from the rise in value as Bitcoin becomes better understood and in turn demanded by the public at large. All adopters benefit from the usefulness of a reliable and widely-accepted decentralized peer-to-peer currency.

It is also important to note that Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of bitcoin, has never spent a bitcoin (other than giving them away when they were worthless) which we can verify by checking the blockchain.

How is it like a Ponzi?

In Ponzi the profit of the A depends on the Deposit of B and so on... Bitcoin doesn't comes with any such scheme. It's a currency and like other currencies it has it's ups and downs.

Don't know how you see a Ponzi in it.

No. Bitcoin is used by ponzi websites but it is not a ponzi game but just a virtual currency. It's just like forex and stock markets where there is no surety of the price and right now it's $219.
