Title: WHY BTC is NOT a Ponzi scheme
Post by: jubalix on March 31, 2013, 06:23:02 AM
Ok I will start

[1] When the early high JINI sell out their large holdings the whole scheme benefits, and it would be good that you can get BTC a lower prices.

[2] A currency does not claim or set out to create value or be an investment return scheme. A currency is a mechanism to store, measure and transfer value efficiently.  The fact that the currency may also make a good return to some is a collateral benefit only. It merely indicates the worth of the currency itself as a currency v alternative currencies eg USD, gold, etc.
A ponzi scheme is explicitly about creating value, investment return.
