+    The Bitcoin "Nakamoto Scheme" is an automated hybrid of a Ponzi and pyramid scheme

+    the strengths of both and the weaknesses of neither.
+
+    The Nakamoto Scheme draws strength from what make pyramids and Ponzis 
+    so compelling:
+    a) it promises insane investment returns, 
+    b) can be accessed by the man on the street with almost no effort at all, and

+    The Bitcoin "Nakamoto Scheme" have no central operator. 
+    This ensures that no single member or entity can be held liable 
+    (as with a Ponzi or pyramid) and obscures the identity of participants from law enforcement.
+
+    This also, like a pyramid scheme, has the insidious quality of turning 
+    every victim of the scheme into a new principal as they talk up their books 
+    for the purpose of recruiting new investors to subsidize their exits.
