Bitcoin pyramid scheme
bitcoin is just a game. If it is promoted as a tool to get rich, it can be regarded as a fraud. Just like the currency in other online games, the only difference is that bitcoin has been standardized since the game was first formulated. It can't be issued indiscriminately, so it can keep its value better than other virtual game props. It is equivalent to the online collection. Bitcoin is a prop in the game, and its value is reflected in the recognition of bitcoin by players: more people play, the value of props in the game is higher; The risk is that he is not the only game, and his algorithm is not the only one. Maybe someone will be able to make other special coins soon. All you need to do is promote the game and sell your props. As for money, bitcoin does not have the basic attributes of money, such as unfair initial distribution and insecure circulation. Money needs to be maintained by the state machine

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software and the P2P network on it were designed and released. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction

bitcoin is a fraud, so we must be cautious in investment and financial management
even if it is called "hard currency", the price of gold will not only rise but not fall. There is no bubble in gold, but the price is too high, there is a bubble, and the bubble will eventually burst, such as virtual currency such as bitcoin. The more general virtual currencies, the closer bitcoin's value is to zero
this kind of currency, which is a purely calculated digital symbol, has no asset support, no financial revenue and expenditure, no cash reserve and no use value. It is only a circulation symbol. Once it loses its credit guarantee, it is a pile of beautiful printed waste paper. Investors should be alert that there is no so-called safe investment in this world, and all investments are risky
the people's Bank of China and other departments issued a document to severely punish the above-mentioned behaviors, making it clear that token trading is not protected by law. With some virtual currency trading platforms turning to overseas, speculative money speculation has also turned to "underground". In the face of continuous renovation, on the basis of continuous strict supervision, government departments should constantly upgrade the means and ability of supervision, and continue to increase publicity and crackdown on popular science, so as to avoid the masses being deceived
extended information:
investing in virtual currency is more of a kind of speculation. Investors should strengthen their risk prevention awareness and identification ability. Without confirming the identity of the other party, they should not be involved in money transactions, trust low-risk and high return investment procts, especially not join the investment and financing group without verification, These are often well-designed traps by telecommunication network fraudsters
it's better to purchase the investment and financial management accompanied by the children, and learn from the official and authoritative channels, and report to the police in time when they are found to be cheated. Properly protect all kinds of account password, identity information, etc., don't tell others easily. Any reference to the need for transfer and remittance should arouse high vigilance and consult with trusted acquaintances

1. Is bitcoin a Ponzi scheme
what is Ponzi scheme? The funds invested by the latecomers are equally distributed to the former participants as their benefits. Do you need to hand over an extra sum of money to all current bitcoin holders when you first buy bitcoin? No, so bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme
2. Is bitcoin MLM
what is MLM? The funds invested by the latecomers are distributed to the previous participants as their benefits. When you buy bitcoin for the first time, do you need to hand over an extra sum of money to the person who brought you into the bitcoin world? No (bitcoin brings you in a lot of times), so bitcoin is not MLM
a typical mistake that people are prone to make is to judge whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme according to "previous bitcoin holders will benefit from the participation of later investors". This is obviously e to the unclear concept. Previous stock holders will also benefit from later investors. Is the stock market also a Ponzi scheme? The real difference between the above-mentioned scams and the formal investment market is whether the first participants and the latter are equal in the rules. The Ponzi scheme and pyramid scheme are unfavorable to the latter in the rules, and this is concealed, which is the deception. In the bitcoin market, no matter first come first served, everyone has to complete the transaction in the market according to their own judgment. No one can use the rules to profit others, which is exactly the same as the stock market< Is br />3. bitcoin an asset bubble?
what is asset bubble? The price of an asset is too high relative to its own value (all but resale). What determines the price? Supply and demand. There is a certain supply and the price soars, which means that there are too many buyers
take the tulip bubble that we often talk about for example. The most important value of tulips is its ornamental value. When five people buy a tulip, it's red. When 500 people buy it, it's colorful. Does it bring night light at night? Obviously not. The ornamental value of tulips will not increase because of the increase in the number of buyers. Therefore, soaring prices in the short term will lead to bubbles. After analyzing bubbles, let's look at bitcoin.
what is bitcoin? Value network. What are the characteristics of Internet? Scale effect
QQ with only 200 users, QQ with 2 million users, and QQ with 200 million users are obviously different in value. The same is true for bitcoin. Every additional bitcoin holder means an additional user who is willing to accept and able to pay for bitcoin. Accordingly, the value of the whole network increases a little bit. The scale effect of bitcoin determines that its value will naturally increase with the increase of the number of buyers. Therefore, it is untenable to assume that the inference of asset bubbles is based solely on price spiking. If we want to prove that bitcoin is an asset bubble, we must prove that the price change of bitcoin is even higher than that of its scale effect.
unfortunately, at least in the discussion of bitcoin bubble that I saw at present, I did not take this proposition into account. Although such proof is complex, it is not infeasible. For example, one idea I can think of is to take the valuation of Tencent / Facebook (Social Network), Alibaba / Amazon (trading network) and visa / PayPal (value network) in different user number periods as a reference to see if the growth rate of bitcoin's market value is too high compared with that of user number. Obviously, there is more than one way to prove, but the propositions to prove should be consistent
conclusion is obvious now that bitcoin is not a hoax, and even the accusation of bubbles lacks convincing grounds. When we discuss bitcoin, there are many misunderstandings, not only conceptual and logical, but also emotional. In the final analysis, it is because of the lack of understanding of bitcoin. However, e to the openness of the network, bitcoin has indeed been artificially played bad. Useful adoption
As long as the influence of bitcoin scam is not particularly bad, the government generally adopts the policy that the people do not sue, the officials do not blame, and turn a blind eye to it. Because even if the government enters, it is difficult to find the culprit. The information of some operation teams is not public, and it is difficult to find it on the Internet. Some of them are still abroad, so it is difficult to solve the case. Some of the culprits turn around and become victims. There are also those who participated in the bitcoin pyramid scheme. A large number of victims are also the biggest accomplices< br />
