is there really a difference between crypto and a pyramid scheme? Seems like the only people who get rich are the developers and very early adopters, everyone else has to rely on more suckers to come in to make more money, which becomes harder and harder.

>A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme

Doesn't look like it at all. Sorry OP, looks like you're retarded.

That's pretty mush the promise of payments to get other people in the scheme.

You all know that Bitcoin has become a Ponzi scheme, the hope is that we're still the ones in the middle.

anyone can triple their money in a week in crypto during a bull run if they have any investing sense whatsoever. Obviously people who have been in it longer have made more money, thats basic math. it doesn't make it a pyramid scheme
>>
>>3466153
Who made promises of payments? The Bitcoin devs did? Not that I know of. The only promise they made is that you can get more BTC by mining.
>>
>>3466092
name one thing in life where early adopters aren't rewarded. The earlier you get into something the better. That goes for pretty much anything.
>>
>>3466174
I'm not saying that Bitcoin born as a Ponzi scheme, but after the real money went in, it's all about speculation.

Whales have all the interest that normies believe that they can be rich too buying 1 BTC or in the next years fraction of Bitcoins and hope to multiply their investment in the next decades. Sooner or later the bubble will pop.

There are currencies, assets, and pyramids.

Assets are ethereum, omg. Currencies are str/xlm, and bitcoin although its traded as more or less a commodity.

Then there is Bitconnect. Its a 100% not even hiding it pyramid scheme, probably going to be the biggest in history.

And, as a bonus you can own the underlying asset token which has delivered 10x this year and magically floats its market value due to its centralized and managed nature.

Probably the best coin no one ever talks about (except the lending a referral cunts who actually have upstream income from it)

whens that stock market bubble gonna pop? or the housing bubble? or the population bubble?

We have been hearing the same tirade charade for more than 5 years now. When will you FUDders come up with something new?
>>
>>3466092
Nothing in crypto is even remotely similar to a pyramid scheme. Even ICOs aren't pyramid schemes, they're just scams.
>>
>>3466092
Even if it was, who's going to take the money and where would they go? Bitcoin and crypto have become so big now that major MILLION dollar companies are getting into it. Even if someone or a group of people were to take all their money from this "pyramid ponzi scheme", they wouldn't be able to hide forever because that much money would cause government agencies to start cracking down on it.
>>
>>3466249
>>3466258
So, do you think the price is going up forever and there will be wealth for eveyone?

Those with milions of BTC are never going to dump for FIAT?

Only if you see the "Bitcoin accepted here" logo everywhere you will see wealth for everyone, but that's never goingo to happens because Governments won't get money out of it.

>because Governments won't get money out of it.

WRONG. You can already pay taxes in Switzerland with it. Other countries will eventually adapt. You're quickly running out of arguments.
>>
>>3466376
>In Switzerland
Only in one municipality, where they're litterally gambling with this volatility.

You know better than me that Govs won't universally allow or accept a thing if they don't have the monopoly of it.
