What is the actual importance of Bitcoin? If we merely talk about it as something that "will make people gain more from their investment", especially people who have yet to actually learn anything about it,
it might sound like a Ponzi to those people, no?
Yes, people to think about bitcoin as a ponzi, and they don't really tend to understand what bitcoin is.. and I still see no reason to get worked up at the term investment,
Pardon me, but let me stop you there. No one is getting "worked up" at the term "investment". I'm merely debating for learning more about Bitcoin if someone wants to talk about it with other people, especially nocoiners that are still suspicious about "Bitcoin". I believe if the suspicious truly learn about how it works and how elegant of a solution was found to the Byzantine General's Problem and the game theory behind it, then something inside them might "click" and acknowledge the value of what Bitcoin gives to society. People should accept that it's a new "standard" for hard money, and THAT makes it a good investment.
