A comment on Bitcoin Is a Ponzi.

The article does not contain many well founded arguments. However, I'd like to ask this question: Is an asset price inflation a Ponzi scheme? In other words: Would Bitcoin critics describe a housing bubble in which many people suddenly start investing in real estate as a Ponzi scheme?

Then I would agree even as a HODLER.

Ponzi Schemes can also be organized by the government and be mandatory...

Some pay-as-you-go (vs funded) pension systems are considered as Ponzi scheme by their characteristics. The population/age pyramid in western countries is an issue. Which is why the subject is hot.
