emm, Yes?

And if it's not an Obvious yes to you then you probably lost touch with reality.

Try to run a ponzi in real life and see how fast you land in jail, that is because the people in charge of printing the money will hang you from from the nuts

So if you find a ponzi in USD (or Euro, etc) that hasn't been taken down yet, will you join it and "invest" your life saving in it?

If your answer is yes, then the problem is clearly not about bitcoin but also USD, Euro, GBP, CNY, JPY, etc.
If your answer is no, then why did you join a ponzi in BTC?

I answer yes and the problem IS in Bitcoin as it stands.

After 911, you cannot send a dime to anyone without being traced, call it what you want, that arrangement is good for me.
If I get ponzied in USD, then yes I lose my money but the monkey at the other end will very soon end up in a cage and eat the bananas in his ass cheeks.
I just got ponzied in BTC and the system does not tell me who the son of a bitch is?

On another place in these forums, there is a guy who accidentally sent 25 BTC to someone for a one month service instead of 2.5 BTC. The jerk who received it is saying yes so I'll give you 10 months service, the sender says no it was a mistake please send me back 22.5 BTC, the jerk says no. In USD, 5 minutes in court and he will spit damages and legal fees as well.

If you don't see all the flaws in this experiment then good luck. I'm not coming back with any form of use until capital + interest are returned. Boycott BTC.

5 minutes in court? Due to the fact that I run a small vehicle loaning operation I can tell you that getting your money back is no easy feat. Even though we know full well who the other party is. The costs to get the money back are not always worth the effort it requires and it's never easy, the only time we go through the process is when the sum is large enough. It takes months and sometimes years to get it all ironed out. You're are naive in your thinking.
