IMO, it's a total scam, and I can't believe that there are so many people investing in it.
Because if you are in on the scam before the bottom falls out you do well.

It is all based on anticipating what other people think will happen, not much different from the stock market. The only major difference is if a company you invest in goes bankrupt, you have a small chance to recover some of your investment.

Bitcoin rides that fine line between scam and legit, if things are more shady then bitcoin then it is a scam, if things are more legit than bitcoin then it is legit.

Actually there is a big difference. The stock market isn't necessarily on what other people do, a big part of it has to do with the company itself. How well the product sells. If the product looks promising, people will buy shares. There's no value in bitcoin. The only thing your banking on is other people willing to buy it from you for more than what you paid. Bitcoin is nothing more then a way to transmit money, and there's lots of ways to do that.

Bitcoin algorithm is backed by infallible mathematical code that has been evolving and maturing for 10 years now, its limited supply circumvents human greed and inflation.

Paper money is backed by corrupt governments and is therefore subject to inflation and human greed.

Bitcoin is long past the point of being a ponzi scheme, the next few years will be eye-popping for the naysayers.
Hope your still on this board in two years so we can revive this thread and see how "eye-popping" this is for naysayers.

Everyone is looking for a way to get rich. If you want to know a way, here it is: convince fools to part with their money. Apparently, it's easily done!

Bitcoin is a fiat currency, but it is a fiat currency with anonymity so it is more than just a regular fiat currency.

If Visa kept no records and gave you no recourse for mistakes/scams, it would displace Bitcoin.
