Bitcoin is not a scam and I can confirm it to many people because Im making a good money here.

Sorry, but you aren't helping anyone with what you are saying. So basically, Bitcoin according to you is not a scam because you (we have to assume that) are making money? The market and the money making aspect are unreliable and should never be used as argument why Bitcoin is good or bad. The only point of importance is that the network never fails to deliver in terms of decentralization and quick and easy transfer of value. Everything else is redundant and not important. While people keep panicking about the price being low and all that, Bitcoin itself has been progressing consistently, why can't people see that? Don't be blinded by the price....

I agree with this, the fact that a person is making money with a coin does not mean the coin is not a scam, we could easily point to a number of projects that were confirmed scams and yet people made money, an example was BitConnect many people made money with that coin and yet it was a scam and as a result many people lost money as well, so that is the wrong way to look at things, as long as the bitcoin network allows a safe environment to exchange value all over the world bitcoin has fulfilled its mission.
