Are you a fucking moron? Do you even know what inflation means? I think these guys must be paid trolls to come up with crap like this, Bitcoin can't be inflated because it is limited to 21 million coins, you aren't even using the word inflation correctly, if anything it's a deflationary currency, not that you'd know the difference. I wonder if people from the somethingawful forum decided to make some accounts here to come and mess with people here, the people posting this bullshit are acting like Bitcoin insulted their mothers somehow.

Bubble conditions of any good or stock take on many traits of a ponzi scheme as described here.

how can you call btc deflationary when coins are still being produced at a rate faster than most central banks print money. coin limit is kind of irrelevant as it wont be reached til long after all of us are dead.

11 yeses and 65 nos add up to 76 votes that think that Bitcoin is so a [P]onzi scheme like Bernie Madoff, albeit I must've been living in a cave on El-Adrel IV all my life, for this is the first time I've heard of Bernie Madoff being referred to as a Ponzi scheme. I have heard that some dude having the same namesake operated a Ponzi scheme though, but if 76 people to date state otherwise, then I must be mistaken.

BTW, this is about the half-dozenth time I seen a thread started by a newbie asking basically the same question, close to the same amount of times I seen new threads by others asking what's the best mining hardware to purchase because they just fell into a pile of cash and have free electricity.  

I think it is more like a speculative tech stock than a ponzi scheme.

Many early investors got in cheap but they had a very high risk of ruin. Once Bitcoin became successful they were richly rewarded but, in tech, you see the 1 success not the 9999 failures. For every Microsoft or Google millionaire, there are 5 pets.com paupers.

BTC has its own ecosystem, not like Ponzi which requires outside money.

Such threads are why I miss the newbie jail.

You haven't even done the maths right, which is why I seriously object when I see even professional journalists making the classic mistake of using percentages, the point is it's several hundred billion dollars that has no limit vs an absolute hard cap of 21 million coins, in this case, the percentage means nothing. Also, you're completely ignoring the fact that not only will there have been billions of new bills printed but also that there will be billions more in bonds and digital numbers created constantly compared to Bitcoin where again the hard limit is only 21 Million.

A limitation on the money supply always affects the price, that is why precious metals have always been worth more aside from their applications in industries, also you and a number of people when discussing economics don't write in plain english, you blatantly make up bullshit and when you get it wrong you make up for it with complicated vocabulary you don't understand in order to cover it up.

Yet again people like you prove that you have absolutely no understanding of how currencies are created or how the overall supply affects the price.

who said something about the Bitcoin tech? it's like you said "that HYIPs is using PHP for its website". So what? PHP is used for many application.

Bitcoin system is a bubble as it is now. Yes, there are a lot of interests around it because some people make a lot of money from new comers but it's a bubble in the end.

That's why "you" need to appear in the news, conferences and so on.

What would this "blockchain " without the new so called "investors", without money? why do you need the Bitcoin to be "traded"?
make  1 BTC = 1 USD and done. no price fluctuation

No, you need the price fluctuation in order to get new fouls otherwise will be like any other e-currency.
