Can you explain how Bitcoin isn't a ponzi scheme? It needs new people comming at higher prices to sustain the income of miners isn't it? Otherwise it would collapse. Sounds like a ponzi to me. Don't even get me started with altcoins. At least Bitcoin innovated. But the economic model doesn't seem sustainable. If something needs people coming at higher prices to be sustainable, how isn't that a ponzi.

It's not strictly a Ponzi scheme, but it is a speculative bubble. Even people who invest in Bitcoin should be able to admit this.

In a Ponzi scheme, the illusion of growth is used to lure new investors, whose capital is used to pay off the early investors and thus reinforce the illusion. In Bitcoin, the increase in price is driven by increased demand, and new investors are mostly buying out earlier investors. In Bitcoin, there's (mostly) honest price discovery, and the massive increase in price is fueled by hype. In a Ponzi scheme, the fund manager is misrepresenting the funds performance and disguising return of capital as dividends or similar distributions.

Everything is a Ponzi scheme. Killself ultra retard

To play Bitcoin's advocate: What isn't a speculative bubble? You buy something with the hope it will go up in the future isn't it?

And if you can establish that it's a Ponzi? What then? Nobody will act on your findings.
