Anyone can call it ponzi scheme and fraud but if you think of it, everything worldly is fraud. You buy apple products with thousands of dollars but how much are they really worth? Why would people give out thousands of dollars for a macbook when they can buy a laptop for $300? Is it really worth that much or is it just another ponzi scheme that apple is bringing to the world better gadgets than any other brands? So we're talking about bitcoin now. What are we really paying for when we buy bitcoin? We pay for an online program and the people running the program helping transactions go through, or we call mining. Miners put in so much time and most especially the cost of mining is so much. That is merely the reason why bitcoin will cost much and if incase it will dive too low and will not be enough to pay for miners, then that could be the time bitcoin will die, or not.

Yes some people call bitcoin a fraud because they have been looted online by some jerks that's why they curse bitcoin . Its not true that bitcoin is fraud it's just because some peesons associated with bitcoin fraud peoples and they think all this is happening because of bitcoin .
well, from the many scams that are called cryptocurrency, I think that is a natural thing. even when they have collected millions of dollars from crypto or bitcoin, they sometimes cheat investors. so this news spread quickly, and many people think like that.

The reason behind this is because many people uses bitcoin to scam people. Especially nowadays that many people are interested to invest in cryptocurrency. Scammers took advantage of it just to get money in the expense of others. That is why we have to be very careful in joining any investment scheme especially in social media to avoid fraud and ponzi scheme, proper knowledge will be a big help.

Bitcoin is not fraud and neither is it a ponzi scheme. This is one of the things people who are ignorant of what exactly bitcoin is often say. Comparing bitcoin to an iPhone or MacBook is absurd because bitcoin has appreciated in value over the years and his iPhone will always depreciate once you own it.

You know this' a free world and can say what they felt like but the truth remains that bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme. Maybe is a fact that they are misinformed about bitcoin.in my summary bitcoin is not ponzi and it is far better than ponzi scheme

It is absolutely true that everything around us can be called a Pyramid or a Ponzi scheme. Pension system, banking system, currency system of Fiat money, credit and Deposit in the Bank. Generally any system where there is money, can be considered scheme fraud. The only question is legitimate is fraud or not.

Your point of view seems to be something which is very unusual but I do understand you well. yes, everything around us can be called a Ponzi scheme, and the crypto as well but I believe in it.

People called bitcoin as a fraud or ponzi because they don't understand about bitcoin, they only make their own conclusions without learning the true of bitcoin, if those people want to take their time to learn they will notice that bitcoin is totally different, some of them only know bitcoin from the media, so they only know the surface of bitcoin! Yeah there are still people that call bitcoin a ponzi, bubble or whatever they like because they have either bought at peak and sold in panic for loss or they never got chance to ride the bitcoin train  Grin.
The one who are making good money with bitcoin trading and investment will always love this technology which gonna disrupt whole world's financial system.

Well, i think if bitcoin was a scam from the beginning, it wouldn't exist for now because everyone would not trust bitcoin anymore.
But what i can see now, bitcoin is being used by most peoples who know about crypto. Either as a currency to pay something, or to trade it on the market.

It's already a common thing for bitcoins to be associated with ponzi schemes or a fraud. I hope you're already used to it. But in reality, however, bitcoins are actually a legitimate currency floating around in the internet. It's the people who actually use to somehow scam people into thinking they can make your money boom like any investor would say.

Well..may be those poeple who call bitcoin fraud or ponzi scheme are the people who who never experienced what bitcoin truly is, or those people who have gone through bankcruptcy becuase of it.. there are indeed many reason for people to doubt it as many reason also for those who tried it and believe and succeed eventually.

many people who think negatively for bitcoin and other crypto currencies in my opinion if investors already understand all the risks and benefits of investing they certainly will not think bitcoin is a fraud

Big players make large amounts of bitcoin volatility. They will not allow the mining to cease to yield income. This would mean that you can no longer receive money from Bitcoin.

the fact is that everyone has the right to their own opinion, they call Bitcoin a ponzi scheme does not change anything about Bitcoin originality. People like that don't have a little knowledge about how Blockchain technology works, they need to be enlightened

This time, it is difficult to say and evaluate Bitcoin accurately as "bitcoin a fraud or ponzi scheme". But excessive price increases and rapid changes will always be attractive to investors!
