If bitcoin is just a bubble why is it still here after 'popping' like five times. And if the protocol that rewards the token holders is a Ponzi who is the Ponzi schemer?

It seems to me much more like the beanie baby thing.

Because it is built to be infinitely reinflatable. Bitcoin bubble popping changes nothing about Bitcoin and human greed.

People who create the protocol and set the rewards for themselves and others and cash out before the whole thing collapses.
