Every time when the stock market or housing market goes down, people analyze the interest rate, the Fed balance sheet, the unemployment rate, the projected GDP growth, the emotions of the investors, etc, etc.

Every time when BTC goes down, people claim that BTC is a Ponzi.

Bitcoin is an asset which is projected to appreciate in value over time with more adoption and popularity

People have said the same about Ripple, for over 6-7 years now, they said Ripple will replace the SWFIT banking system - but guess what, it's trading at $0.30 and never even went back to the peak of $3.00 around 2017-2018, not even $2.

The "projected to appreciate" is a speculation - the governor of Bank of England said those who hold Bitcoin would lose lots of money - so far he was right and he gave this warning many months ago.

It does not matter if a Ponzi Scheme is based on Tulips, Based on Chain Letters, or Based on Blockchain.  No matter what method you use to run a PONZI SCHEME...  Nothing changes the fact that BitCoin has zero intrinsic value, is a PONZI and will collapse like every PONZI in history.

It is clear from your post that you don't know what a Ponzi scheme is. You, as well as many others, are under the mistaken belief that a pyramid scheme, or a pump-and-dump, or even any scam is called a Ponzi scheme. Tulip bubbles, chain letters, and crypto bubbles are not Ponzi schemes.

In a Ponzi scheme, an operator pretends to invest a victim's money but does not.

Typically,  in order to convince the victim that their money is really invested, the operator will return some money and claim that it is a return on the investment. However, that step is not required. In some Ponzi schemes, the operator may credit the victim's account or not allow withdrawals for an extended period of time.

So, Bitcoin cannot be a Ponzi. There is no operator. There is no investment. There is no return on investment. Recently, the term "natural ponzi" was invented to describe Bitcoin. The inventor of the term wanted to claim that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme but couldn't, so they invented a new term.

OTOH, Bitcoin can conceivably be described as a pyramid scheme. Many people buy bitcoins in the hope that they can convince others to buy bitcoins from them at a higher price. There is nothing wrong with that -- it is basically just speculation. But, when they claim that Bitcoin has no utility other than a "store-of-value", they are essentially promoting Bitcoin as a pyramid scheme.
