Do you honestly believe that most people buying bitcoin are buying it for any reason other than the hope that the price will increase?

Most people buy stock, gold and sometimes houses in the hope of the price will increase. Does that make them a scam?

How does that make Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme? A ponzi scheme is an organizational structure, not the people that exist in that organization. Bitcoin is a piece of software, and some people using that software are trying to profit. There is nothing inherent in the structure of Bitcoin that makes it a Ponzi

This comment makes me think you didn't read the article in my parent comment. Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, it is a Nakamoto scheme.
