While I 100% agree BTC is not a Ponzi scheme - unlike many in the community - I find it fascinating that Bitcoin has some things in common w/ a Ponzi scheme. For example, early adopters profiting huge as BTC goes mainstream, etc.
Well then you are saying that literary everything else in this world that has a value is also a Ponzi scheme because that thing has gained value. For example potatoes are also Ponzi schemes since over the last year the have produced less crops and the price has gone up. Anyone who stockpiled potato (as an early adopter) is now in a huge profit!
