We just published the second episode of our educational series for bitcoin "Bitcon For Dummies".  In each one we try to bust common myth or misconception about bitcoin.
In this episode we explain why bitcoin is NOT a ponzi. Short, simple and to the point. (well as much as possible)
So, I bet you know someone that at some point told you bitcoin is a Ponzi? Well, send him this video and let us know his response, would be fun Smiley
Here is the video

Something about her voice / speaking style (not accent) makes it difficult for me to listen to and digest this.

People who believe Bitcoin is a Ponzi are usually not willing to pay attention to a single sentence response disproving their statement, much less watch a full 4 minute video  Undecided

This, some people just don't wanna listen. More fool them and unfortunately thats an attitude that a lot of people have to general things in life.

I generally give up after a few trys, they'll come around at some point and if they dont its no real skin off my nose.

I don't mind looking at a pretty woman. But somehow in fields of tech and gaming, im always a little aggrivated by
female presenters who clearly don't have a clue of what they are saying, they are just reading a paper, a payed for pretty face used because of the primal features in us men.

In her own mind she would probably make more sense to herself talking Chinese...

Great work. But I doubt Ponzi-sayers will be convinced by this video, since they do not use logic.

We don't want to fight the current system, but just to make it obsolete and replace it, right? Smiley

Bitcoin is not intended as a Ponzi scheme but... if the system of Bitcoin fails, it will have a similar effect of a Ponzi for investors; early adopters will have profited from the late adopters.  Also, the value of a bitcoin is dependent on its adoption.  Investing in Bitcoin is still a risk; which I have accepted and have taken.

It always really annoys me when people think bitcoin is a ponzi or a scam. Ironically they don't realise why fiat money is a scam.
