Do a lot of mouthing about imaginary investment opportunities irl or at the irl/btc interface that somehow magically net you what no business in the ~1000 years of business history ever made and each hyip in the ~10000 years of hyip history always claimed.
Sure, if you want to kill the golden goose. There is movement of capital flow
into the Bitcoin system; without that, wealth is confined to an isolated environment and what you describe would be the most likely scenario. The USD
is an isolated environment of sorts and therefore instead of wealth transfer from external pools
into the USD, the proportion of ownership changes.
In a system as small as Bitcoin's any Ponzi scheme would quickly reach its zenith - in
isolation. Even if Pirate is running such a scam, external flows from USD and other sources can keep the game going for a
very long time. I would only be concerned if capital inflows into the Bitcoin system remain unchanged or decrease
and the rates of return fail to decline somewhat over the next 12-18 months.
Right now, a relatively small amount each week (~$250,000) is necessary to maintain the exchange value of Bitcoin at the current base inflation rate of ~25-30%. There's plenty of room to grow with a global pool in the
hundreds of trillions of dollars in search of proportion increase potential.
