Still, but nicer, ad-hominem "you don't deserve explanation, because you don't know enough" followed by a link of endless references.

I don't deny that cryptocurrencies might play a huge role in the future. And algorithms are indeed pretty clever. But I don't see why that prevent current bitcoin implementation to be a pyramid scheme and thus I ask. And haven't been answered so far.

It's like arguing that tulips madness wasn't a buble because tulip are beautifull and still sells today. Evrything can be used by speculators to build a buble, even rice or corn (and that's even worse than bitcoin because lots of people don't eat as much as needed as of today).

Sorry man - I tried to help.

Feel free to believe what you want. Good luck!

Luck has nothing to do with that. Thanks for trying. Still hope someone can come with a better argument. But I follow bitcoin new since a few year and still nothing tangible in sight.

Some like you find my lack of faith disturbing, but I don't "believe" anything. I prefer scientifical skeptiscism.

PS: And because I am ready to change my mind, I've dug : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5lsu8p/hot_news_fi...

Still no arguments, only bitcoin supporters performing ad-hominem attack against the analyst...
