Whoa there. A ponzi is a pyramid scheme created by a malefactor. A pyramid scheme is any scheme in which early adopters profit only if new money keeps coming in. I don't think you want to argue that Bitcoin's price can grow without influx of new money - bitcoin doesn't produce anything other than more bitcoins and heat.
I have already explained why a rational player would invest in a pyramid scheme (buy BTC at the auction), but I'll do it again:
1. Buy BTC below market at auction. 2. Sell on exchanges at market. 3. Profit.
Ok, I understood your point. But, who says that new monies won't come in and people won't profit anymore? BTC is still in development mode and has a lot to capture... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

NO. It always says "accepted", e.g. the first submission: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1579346/000119312513279830/0001193125-13-279830-index.htm

There's always new money coming in, the question is "at what rate?" With Beanie Babies, for instance, it's sufficient for the actors to hodl their Beanies for the price to remain stable. Not so with bitcoin. Unlike the Beanies, which are no longer being printed mined made, more than 3,600 bitcoins are printed every day. These, as I've pointed out, are being sold. Enough fresh money needs to come into the system buy these and keep the price stable. TL;DR: It's not impossible for the price to go up, but for it to go up substantially is unlikely. Just an opinion.

All this tells me is that they filed yet another amendment to their submission to the SEC. Is there anything else whatsoever to this story, or is this just lame news on a quiet day ?
