No, I never said it's a Ponzi "Scheme" with an entity on top running the "Scheme". Get the whole context. Bitcoin, like Gold, is a naturally-occurring Ponzi. It's simply a market that was boot-strapped by a community that values the asset.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BUT, Bitcoin does have technical features that ARE VALUED especially by some groups of people that are in need of censorship-resistance.
Obviously, you are being sarcastic and I understand it clearly. Bitcoin could be like a community-built Ponzi, especially in the eyes of those who have not experienced its benefits. However, it's more like a successful decentralized social experiment. Anyway, for any other Ponzi scheme, we could probably know who runs it or makes an upgrade to it, but with Bitcoin, you barely can tell who is Satoshi and for Gold, we all know its nature. What they have in common is that they are run by those who adopt it and are hyped by their communities. They are less of a scam but more of a social effort pushing it into existing assets with high value.
