> not in an abstract way No, that is market manipulation, you've made a common mistake, a Ponzi scheme is very specific. Is tweeting "Buy TSLA!" a Ponzi scheme? Do you know what Charles Ponzi's role in his scheme was? In a Ponzi, the operator actively channels the money to older investors. It's not an abstract "investors get richer" idea. Bitconnect was a true Ponzi scheme, and it used cryptocurrency. So if all cryptocurrencies are Ponzis by their nature, what makes it any different?
