I really wonder to some people who think bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. It has made so many people rich and doing better till now.
But I don't understand the reason behind this type of thought?

This is wrong opinion. Bitcoin is not ponzi.
Many people think it because they don't know basic of cryptocurrency market.

Maybe other people think bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme because others will make a Ponzi scheme by using the name of bitcoin, that's why we need to be careful every time we invest our money, make sure that you invest in real bitcoin.

Poverty of the mind, they have just refused to learn and to  keep themselves updated with the current happenings around them.Or maybe must have been involved in different kind of ponzi scheme that made no or less returns for them so they tag bitcoin as been same.Well i hope they learn early enough to start investing and stop leaving in the past.

Because they don't have enough knowledge what is the true purpose of bitcoin and there are many scammers out there that used bitcoin to scam people so the they think bitcoin is a form of scam too so we cannot blame them on what they believe but if they realize and truly understand bitcoin I think they will change their mind.

People treats btc as a ponzi scheme because of the instability in the price, imagine showing the price of btc to a newbie in a wallet e.g $100 suddenly the price jumped to $180 in less than 24 hours obviously no amount of explanation will convince a newbie that it is not a ponzi scheme due to the unfamiliarity with how btc works.

People treat BTC as ponzi scheme are mad people I think since they don't know anything about BTC and just like that they spread negativity about it. Mad people always hears what others say and don't have their own brain to think so they say BTC is a ponzi scheme or spread some other rumors as well.

Calling Bitcoin a scam is very narrow-minded. Why would Bitcoin be a scam? I don't know any reasons...

Because those people simply don't understand what really bitcoin is, they don't actually know what is the true purpose of bitcoin in our lives on how it works and how to do with it. But if they would try to open there minds on cryptocurrency specially in bitcoin they will realize the true worth of this thing.

This happens when someone has not done his research about bitcoins. They are blindly following the FUD they hear from media or bitcoin haters.

Because majority of people do not know bitcoins and there are some ponzi schemes which accepts bitcoin payments, so newbies will consider bitcoin as a ponzi scheme.

In our country, bitcoin created a stigma of being used as "ponzi scheme" to scam people. A lot of them popped out recently and its destroying the image of bitcoin. The media were just making things worst by just reporting what happened and not explaining what bitcoin really is. Also, social media platforms are one of the factors, they just believe what they saw on their news feed without even reading the whole story.

Those people are simply bitcoins haters and they need different excuses. Most of them are people who could not invest in bitcoins in early stages and are thus jealous of others.

People think Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme because the old investors gain money from new investors. For me, it is not a ponzi scheme because there is no one controlling the money gained from the investors. No one or even satoshi nakamoto gains and escape the money that was earned. Bitcoin didn't promised that you will earn money but due to the law of demand and supply many people are gaining money in Bitcoin.

Everything is quite simple, people see it from the side as ordinary users get huge profits in a short period of time, without doing a lot of work and this does not seem to fit in with their ideas about earnings. Further they find the simplest explanation of such a profit - this is a pyramid. As a rule, such people live in their closed world and find the simplest explanations for complex things.

Many people perception of bitcoin as a ponzi scheme is because there lack of knowledge and instability in the price i.e high volatility in the price, 0.05 btc might increase to 0.06btc in the next 24 hours which might looks odd and confusing to a newbie but a learnt fellow in the world of cryptos will know how btc operates and wouldn't regard btc as a ponzi scheme.

Because those people did not try to understand bitcoin,
They will only think that this is a scam. Just bring someone to the cryptocurrency and they will have money.
The cryptocurrency market is not like this
