What's really hilarious is that not only did the vast majority of the bitcoin community not get scammed, but you don't have to be a bitcoin user to be ponzi-scheme'd, since it happens to people everywhere all the time! It's so funny.

reactive defensiveness and insecurity isn't actually very funny imo

  The whole situation is not funny. That was my point.

    if you can't find humor in the absurd level of fraud in the bitcoin sphere you're poorer for it

      This reply is in direct contradiction to your first reply to me, which was a write-off of my laughing at the situation.

"In total, Shavers took in more than 700,000 BTC - which at one point constituted approximately seven percent of all Bitcoin then in public circulation." I don't know how you'd define "the vast majority of the Bitcoin community", but 7% of the money supply is a pretty significant minority.
