And what that has to do with the question I am always asking: how people can benefit from Bitcoin without new buyers or investors?

In other words, one can profit or benefit from bitcoin only by selling it to new investors for their utilizable resources. These resources can then be practically utilized to provide benefit to the owner. And that is exactly how Ponzi schemes work.

People profited or benefited from other people's actual things like dollars, goods or services, not from changed spreadsheet digits. No one can benefit from that. No one can benefit from Bitcoin.

Bitcoin holder can benefit from bitcoin only if someone voluntarily chooses to buy it.
<cut> And that's the definition of a ponzi-like scheme.

I will repeat: the whole point of this topic is the question how can you benefit from bitcoins without selling them to someone.

Now the question: can you benefit from the quantity next to your address without a new investor voluntarily accepting this quantity?

What are you trying ti achieve with this sophistry?
