bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme its an altcoin a digital money or a crypto currency which is the best and the king of all altcoin. Ponzi scheme is a illegal activity that other do to steal money from other people specially investors. Some ponzi scheme are using bitcoin to their illegal activity thats why they think bitcoin is one of the ponzi scheme which is really bad for the good image of bitcoin.

No, it is not  a ponzi scheme. Ponzi scheme is based on adding new member to buy the product for commission. No such option with bitcoins.

yes bitcoin is not ponzi/ pyramid scheme, bitcoins are more like stock, shares of a company with no assets, no products, and no staff or shares in a pure ponzi schema.
The value of bitcoin is supposed to come only from the existence of an secure ledger that records the distribution of coins among numerous accounts.

Bitcoin is a commodity that has value because people have a use for it. One use is as a method of payment

Bitcoin is a digital money it is like our regular currency but this is in the form of digital money.Bitcoin costs are high. Bitcoin is not used to transfer money. No projects on Bitcoin. Prices only go up when there are more buyers, so it acts like the current Ponzi scheme.

That is the ideology that bitcoin critics always hold, that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, without them knowing the blockchain technology and what bitcoin really stand for. Ponzi scheme depend on others money to fulfil their promises ,but bitcoins is different.

By definition a Ponzi is a fraud investors are tricked into joining, which dies when there are no longer sufficient new investors.

Bitcoin tech couldn't be more transparent, however much the price may undulate, bitcoin has function and substance worth investing in unlike a Ponzi.

The internet is full of people like Mark Cuban and great investors like Warren Buffet who are not in favor of investing in bitcoin and then there are tech companies which are building it own sub companies and investing highly in crypto and blockchain, its just a matter of understanding the system, crypto is a risk but a risk worth taking. But it is not a Ponzi scheme.

Ponzi always give profit for peoples who join earlier, but bitcoin not.
If you believe that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, then you can look for the peoples who join bitcoin late.
in bitcoin, Even if you join late, you still will get the profit later.

Bitcoins are basically a product with a settled rate of issuance. It's anything but a ponzi on the grounds that after you've obtained bitcoins, there is no guarantee broadened that you can recover them for any esteem and there are no profits paid to the individuals who hold bitcoins. Bitcoins are exchanged, so the swapping scale can rise or fall, so there are the individuals who will purchase or offer bitcoins to hypothesize on the cost

If bitcoin was ponzi scheme it would have run away and we wouldn't have bitcoin. Bitcoin has survive in good and in very bad times as well. Ponzi scheme is where there are people behind bitcoin but bitcoin don't have backing so how it can be ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin is far from being a ponzi scheme.  Ponzi scheme (which appears in different disguise these days) is a scheme that uses the money of new "investors" to pay older "investors"). I used "investors" because the scheme usually do not invest in anything. The new investors are their investment. After a while, especially when there are no new investors, the platform owners absconds with the people's funds. Bitcoin is far from this scenario. Bitcoin is decentralized.  Nobody holds  your funds as long  as you have your private keys and password. You can withdraw your money at anytime. Those who bought Bitcoin in 2009 still have their funds in their wallet unless they have withdrawn it. If it were a Ponzi scheme,  the scheme would have vanished long time ago. Certainly, Bitcoin is not and cannot be a Ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin can't be ponzi. Nakamoto didn't scammed single person. Bitcoin doesn't been hold by 1 person. Maybe Bitcoin growing rate made it so people are still thinking it's something like ponzi.

if you really think that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme only because of the price crash, then it only means that you are an unexperienced investor in here

Right.  None of the ponzi scheme created the same year with Bitcoin still exists today.  The scheme doesn't last very long because the maths doesn't work that well... Early investors usually get enriched before the scheme implodes. Cryptocurrency is a bit like Stock market but more advanced. Cryptocurrency also servs  as currency.
