> A pyramid scheme involves some form of active (fraudulent) recruitment to help increase the price of the asset. Bitcoin doesn't have this.

Haha, have you ever looked at what Bitcoin owners/speculaters post online?

More specifically, a pyramid scheme requires that you recruit others to make money. If you bought $10 of bitcoin 5 years ago and never told another soul or recruited another person, then you'd make a profit. The same cannot be said for a pyramid scheme.
