I want to sue the person who referred me to this platform, but they think otherwise
It is irrelevant what they think.
- They didn't have a financial services license (but Bitcoin in my country is not considered a financial product)
If someone steals your car which is is not consider a financial product, can you sue them?
Does this mean I could sue the person who referred me too? Or Could I only sue the company behind the actual ponzi platform?
I am pretty sure person who lured someone to invest in fraud will be seen as an accomplice (laws for that actually exist), you can sue them and they will get some penalty. But what you are looking for here is operator behind ponzi scheme - you need to sue them to get your money back. That is tricky part - they usually can't be found. Contact lawyer and see what are your options.
