I have seen some of them lately coming up with different ideas and tricks. I believe this schemes doesn't have anything to do with the Bitcoin value and price.

It's not starting, we are already in Ponzi financial scheme Euro, dollar, everything is a Ponzi scheme. This schemes started long ago before our birth.

Thisn schemes have been in existence for long and has been the woes for many but i still wonder how people still buy the ideas of ponzi. M y dear just be vigilant and dont be at the mercy of them. They are on the increas and bet you is first come first served amatter.

This will be very rampant because some people are  not patient enough to stand what is happen they will be looking for way out and they will enter into wrong hand which will maximise their weaknesses and use it to make more more from them

This is very sad to hear and actually i know it from last 6 months.. I started to work with ICO's bounties in 2016 and that time everthing was fine. There were not many scams and the ICO's usually got the softcap at least and start their plans. But when i look today it is horrible, most of ICO's can't reach the soft cap and more than %25 is scam. I feel very uncomfortable with it..

I don't think there is such a thing as a ponzi scam rise anywhere in the world, Ponzi schemes exist since Charles Ponzi pulled the first highly profitable scheme in 1920 for which he was arrested.
For a long time, there was the $ USD as an investment method and it didn't make a bad name for the USD.
Therefore I don't think it is giving Bitcoin a bad reputation but a bad taste in people's mouth that want to get rich fast but get scammed instead.

Where is your proof that Bitcoin is “definitely” a Ponzi scheme? Bitcoin is not a fraud, there’s no real evidence to prove that (if you have, please share). Ponzi schemes, by definition, are built on fraud. Bitcoin introduced blockchain technology, an open ledger, which the U.N. and major global banks are copying now to create their versions of tokens/currencies. You might have confused bitcoin with pump and dump ICOs. Bitcoin is not one of these.

Ponzi scam have been a major challenge to the growth and reputation of bitcoin because most of the ponzi scheme have drive the mean of using bitcoin in other to evade being trace and that have made people to view bitcoin it self as a scam, this happening have contributed to the fall in price of bitcoin became many potential investors are chest away due to fear of losing they money in bitcoin.

When the rate becomes 9 to 1, the market starts to change and grow back. Growth will only be when most people stop believing in more positive events, but meanwhile we are witnessing a new wave of growth and card income. When these people are scammed, they will not say it's a ponzi program anymore, but, they will talk about the crypto continue to fake its image. Saying as a victim of a ponzi program myself, I would not advise any body to participate in any ponzi program or have a rich background. You should avoid it as a plague. I have seen some of them recently come up with different ideas and tricks. All in the guise of making a quick return on investment, some people believe anything said or thrown at them like this. It did not start, we had in Ponzi Smiley Euro financial plan, dollar, everything was a Ponzi scheme.

Not many people can realize that. High ROI is a signifant fishing rod of all scams
