Title: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Bitcoin For Dummies on April 08, 2014, 01:52:47 PM We just published the second episode of our educational series for bitcoin "Bitcon For Dummies". In each one we try to bust common myth or misconception about bitcoin.
In this episode we explain why bitcoin is NOT a ponzi. Short, simple and to the point. (well as much as possible) So, I bet you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi? Well, send him this video and let us know his response, would be fun :) Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kImBgWDgIlA&feature=youtu.be Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: zolace on April 08, 2014, 02:08:51 PM ha ha this is great, thank you for your contribution to the bitcoin education sector, I will use this for everyone who is claling bitcoin a ponzi

Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Bitcoin For Dummies on April 09, 2014, 09:22:34 AM Unfortunately that's true for most of them!
But we are gonna try anyway :) Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: dreamspark on April 09, 2014, 09:27:19 AM People who believe Bitcoin is a Ponzi are usually not willing to pay attention to a single sentence response disproving their statement, much less watch a full 4 minute video :-\ 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.

Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: safeminer on April 09, 2014, 10:42:02 AM 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... /rant Ontopic: Great work. But I doubt Ponzi-sayers will be convinced by this video, since they do not use logic. Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Bitcoin For Dummies on April 09, 2014, 11:55:37 AM yeah, but note that we are trying to appeal to the mainstream here :)
Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: bountygiver on April 09, 2014, 01:33:15 PM Or just send them the video from gold and silver.
Let them know that banks are the real Ponzi scheme Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Bitcoin For Dummies on April 10, 2014, 11:16:52 AM We don't want to fight the current system, but just to make it obsolete and replace it, right? :)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=627049.msg6969911#msg6969911 Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: kthejung on May 27, 2014, 04:04:12 PM 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.
Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Honeybooboo on May 27, 2014, 04:10:29 PM 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.
Title: Re: If you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi send him this Post by: Nagle on May 27, 2014, 04:43:50 PM 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.

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. |
