A common theme with Ponzi schemes is that the people at the beginning who created the scheme (or who invested in it earliest) benefit greatly by future people buying into the scheme. Bitcoin started with its value essentially at nothing, an

Sure, and the same could be said about practically every other crypto-currency. As to the idea that it isn't subject to whims or political stability, I would argue that one merely has to look at the history of Bitcoin's price to p
