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.
I'm not being sarcastic. Bitcoin is like Gold - it's a naturally-occurring Ponzi. But it's NOT a Ponzi "Scheme" with a nefarious entity on top trying to scam people. It simply means that a market developed around something that was adopted and which is valued as an asset class.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Plus as a decentralized, censorship-resistant asset that could give its users some self-sovereignty, it SHOULD be valued.
Bitcoin appears to be worth more than gold creating massive liquidity in the market. Due to the decentralized resources, the demand is increasing day by day, while the overall economy is slightly down due to the effect of inflation. I agree with you about having financial self-sovereignty and investors can have that freedom by depositing bitcoin instead of fiat currency.
Every market system can have the stigma that we observe in centralized market systems and the big whale effect in decentralized markets. possibility
