The cultist is you. You are wrong about bitcoin being a pyramid or a ponzi.

Again this childish demagogy or you actually didn't read what I wrote. I never sayd that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, so again, you are putting wrong words into my mount. There is a clear distinction between an ponzi scheme and an pyramid scheme. And like I said, IF it would turn out that the bitcoin exchanges are presenting falsified market data about the amount of fiat that is flowing into bitcoin, then bitcoin would also be a ponzi scheme. But currently bitcoin can be considered as an pyramid scheme.

Factually wrong, it is not a matter of opinion or feelings.

No I am not. Bitcoin falls perfectly under the general description of an pyramid scheme. Wikipedia: "A pyramid scheme is an unsustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public.". Only thing different from the pyramid schemes that we see everyday is the general reward system where the entire pyramid is rewarded for new recruits.

You have been told why you are wrong.

I was only told how you won't bother explaining me why I am wrong. I would be really surprised if you could explain me why I'm wrong. But I'm quite sure just another "whatever, you are not worth explaining to" response will follow.

You know perfectly well where to look up the definitions and any technical questions about how bitcoin works can be answered here on this very board or looked up from other sources if so preferred.

Yes, and I have been telling you that bitcoin falls under the general definition of an pyramid scheme.

You can even look through the source code yourself.

Well, I have to say it but you are stupid. The source code isn't hiding a secret pyramid that could be found. The pyramid scheme can be seen from the financial and marketing properties of bitcoin.

And you don't care. You have made up your mind and there is no budging it with facts.

Yes I do care. That is why I argue with people like you. I'm really waiting for you to try and explain your point of view. But only thing I get is "YOU ARE WRONG! I'M NOT EXPLAINING ANYTHING, BUT YOU ARE WRONG I TELL YOU!"
This is so familiar and reminds me of religious forums.
