Hi,

Not only a Ponzi scheme. Its rooted in some
2008 shock and experiene of loss, experience of
helplessness, and some theories about scarcity,

fairness and trust. Basically distrust into
governement money and various banks, distrust
into non-anonymous tax paying transactions,

comparison to gold and some new world utopias.
These theories are given further support by
pseudo scientific evidence, such as claims

the 1700-1800 UK industrial revolution was
based on money scarcity. Further it is infested
by a lot of con artists.

Some motives are understandable, and depending
on the national background and economy of the
country legitimated.

But the risks mostlikely outweight the chances.
There are dozen examples of things that became
big and disappeared. Thats just normal life cycle
6
theory that applies to an human invention. Take
this simple example:

- 10 years ago housholds were mainly using
   Incandescent bulbs that consumed 60W - 100W

- now housholds use mainly LEDs, using Phosphor
   conversionwith much lower consumption of 6W - 8W

The same will happen with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is extremly
slow protocol, and extremly energy hungry.
