FYR: http://coinmap.orgI am saying that there are a lot of legitimate goods/services, thus "Bitcoin is for drugs" is a myth that belongs on there. Just not the child pornography part - I don't think people really think that, it is more so with drugs. |

Their description of a Ponzi scheme is wrong. A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud in which the first investors pay later investors to continue an illusion for a non-existent enterprise.

Good to know, but it's sort of too basic.
I mean, here on this forum the beginners thread gives one a more detailed picture.

I was about to ask, since when it's not legal and then I remembered you're talking about myths. But I have to ask you: why do you think BTC isn't going to die soon? |

Investing in Bitcoin early is no different from buying Apple shares in the 1990s! I see the point you are making but I would change this to something other than a stock. Stocks (or the company they represent ownership in) generate revenue and profit. A bitcoin doesn't generate revenue, it doesn't have dividends. While it may increase in value there is no underlying cashflow to fall back on if it doesn't. If you were to pick an asset Bitcoin is more like gold which has seen a tremendous rise in price relative to most currencies since those nations exited the gold standard. |
