It is not a pyramid scheme either. Nobody promises "payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme".

Tulip Bulb then
No, not that either. Anyone can plant more Tulips. There's no way to dilute the supply of Bitcoin.
Planting tulips isn't an instant thing. It takes a season to grow. Not that different from mining? And not really part of the tulip thing; that was all about the bubble.
I mean, miners could agree on a different set of rules to apply and increase the supply.

It's harder/unlikely, but its not "no way to".

You're describing a fork. Bitcoin has already been forked uncountable times. They don't carry over the users, so they don't carry over the network effects either.
