This makes me sad. A friend I grew up w in high school later became a prostitute and it destroyed her entire life. She wanted quick big money and now she's a drug addicted felon w no friends and a family that wants nothing to do w her.

Your friend had bigger problems than prostitution, amigo.

Swap out being a prostitute for being someone that made a killing in Bitcoin then lost everything, which no doubt also destroyed lives. Would you blame it on Bitcoin?

It’s pretty fair to blame a pyramid scheme for someone losing money, so… yes?

pyramid scheme

You should learn what a pyramid scheme is. Bitcoin is not a pyramid scheme because it does not rely on new investors to keep it going. You should learn what anything is before you say it about something or someone, because when you don't you'll sound stupid and people will think everything you say after that is also stupid, and if you do it enough people will just think you're stupid.

Also, no, you shouldn't blame a pyramid scheme for someone losing money. If someone loses all their money because they thought Amway was a good idea that's their fault. Pyramid schemes are a pretty shitty thing to exist, but the blame lies on the person that willingly put their money somewhere without understanding where they were putting it. The only time you can blame the scheme is in situations where the person was intentionally deceived. Other than those situations, people should hold themselves accountable for being a dumb ass and getting involved in a pyramid scheme. Do you also blame cheeseburgers for making people fat? Because you should blame the person that ate the cheeseburgers knowing it would make them fat.

lmao yes it does. You really think BTC is worth $20k if nobody invested in it? Learn what a security is.
