If you are from Russia, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, I believe you know that ponzi schemed program.
Yep, in 2019 ponzi schemes has become rampant again in the Philippines, and guess what they were using as their reason for sustainability that time, yes Bitcoin and even ETH. So, that's how a lot of people heard about Bitcoin atleast here at my local place.
But, thanks to that ponzi and scam program because it introduced me to bitcoin.
I started trading bitcoin since then, learn more about bitcoin, created a website to introduce blockchain and cryptocurrency in my local language, and influence my friends to start their journey with cryptocurrency.
Well, not all of people have the same mentality as you. Most of the people in my place only think Bitcoin as a way to become rich overnight by joining a ponzi scheme group.
But, Im glad you have made influence to others who might think Bitcoin is another ponzi or scam.
