Then there are the so-called \"whales\" that hold most of the bitcoin, \nwhose dominance of the market has risen in recent months. The top 2.8 per cent of bitcoin addresses \nnow control 95 per cent of the supply (including many that haven't moved any bitcoin for the past half-decade), \nand more than 63 per cent of the bitcoin supply hasn't been moved for the past year, according to recent estimates.\n\nWhat all this means is that real liquidity - the actual available supply of bitcoin - is very low indeed.\n\n  §\n\nWhat we call the \"bitcoin price\" is in fact only the price of the very small number of bitcoins \nthat wash around the retail market, and doesn't represent the price that 18.6m bitcoins \nwould actually be worth, even if they were all actually available.\n\nSo the \"market cap\" is in this way nonsense multiplied.

The operator must lie to investors about the source of profit in a Ponzi!\n\nCrypto promoters also make dozens of claims about the virtues of the currency and/or the payment system, \nsuch as that it will \"one day\" replace credit cards, replace national currencies, \nprotect people's savings from inflation or confiscation by government, make banks obsolete, \nstarve governments to death by depriving them of taxes or \"money printing\", \nenable support of dissidents in oppressive regimes, \"bank the unbanked\", \nallow free internet trade of drugs and other illegal items, \nend corruption, poverty, and inequality, etc. etc. etc.\n  \n  §  \n\nBitcoin is a Ponzi. \nObjection! By that definition the U.S. Dollar (USD$) is a Ponzi! \n\nNo, national currencies fail to fit the definition, because people do not \"invest\" \nin them with the expectation of gain.
