The question is childish. Anyway, I'll answer and you yourself decide whether you want to hear me or not
There is a law of conservation of energy: nothing disappears without a trace and nothing is appears from nowhere. But to understand how great the losses and gains are, it is possible only after a while.
The entire crypto market works according to this law. For someone to earn, someone must lose.
Is Bitcoin a ponzi scheme? The question is philosophical and we will know the answer after a while.
Is it childish to questions everything? Especially the ones that have every right to be questioned. For someone who quoted a principle of science, you seemed to lack... the philosophy of science.
Now, to address your so called philosophical question born from the common idea --and understanding-- that in order for someone to win, someone needs to lose, it doesn't necessarily meet with the premise that bitcoin is a ponzi, and certainly you couldn't call your business bear similarities with other projects from the perspective of this law, and thus --as I am sure this is where you're heading-- put your project in an equal fairness with those projects.
Although it's true that bitcoin and other coins fall to this law of win and lose, it is not a guarantee that the early participants will win and the last person will bear all the loss. That infamous pizza buyer, for instance, suffer a great loss from the perspective of present value of bitcoin although he is one of the earliest player on this "scheme".
On a non-ponzi scheme, anyone entering at any given time, be it the earliest, at the middle of bull market, or months after the said project launched, have roughly the same chance of earning profit. It is all broken down to their ability to read the market trends. Whereas, ponzi project like yours guaranteed that the last person will suffer all the loss.
Now, for you, I think the question is not philosophical, it is ethical. Does your morality and business ethic support this idea, promoting a scheme where the last person will bear all the burden?
