It is estimated that about 20 per cent of bitcoins have been lost in various ways,
|
16
|
+
never to be recovered. Then there are the so-called "whales" that hold most of the bitcoin,
|
17
|
+
whose dominance of the market has risen in recent months. The top 2.8 per cent of bitcoin addresses
|
18
|
+
now control 95 per cent of the supply (including many that haven't moved any bitcoin for the past half-decade),
|
19
|
+
and more than 63 per cent of the bitcoin supply hasn't been moved for the past year, according to recent estimates.
|
20
|
+
|
21
|
+
What all this means is that real liquidity - the actual available supply of bitcoin - is very low indeed.

|

Bitcoin is a Ponzi.
|
7
|
+
Investing in bitcoin, like "investing" in lottery tickets, is a very negative-sum game.
|
8
|
+
Namely, at any time, the total amount that all investors have taken out is considerably
|
9
|
+
less than what they have put into the scheme; the difference being the amount that the operators have taken out.
|
10
|
+
Thus the investors, as a whole, are always in the red, and their collective loss only increases with time.

Bitcoin is a Ponzi.
|
16
|
+
As a minimum, the operators should warn investors of the negative-sum character and negative expected profit.
|
17
|
+
In the case of bitcoin (and all other cryptos), not only that does not happen,
|
18
|
+
but there are thousands of promoters and "investment experts" who predict impressive price increases
|
19
|
+
and/or claim that bitcoin will have massive uses in the future that would somehow make it valuable.
|
20
|
+
Apart from the mendacity of those claims, those promoters never point out that such massive uses
|
21
|
+
would not translate into revenue for the investors.

The observation that investing in cryptocurrencies is a ponzi scheme is not new or a cheap shot.
|
28
|
+
Among many others, it was expressed in 2014 by economists Nouriel Roubini of New York University
|
29
|
+
and Kaushik Basu of the World Bank and echoed by investment analyst David Webb in 2017
|
30

and by the World Bank's president Jim Yomh Kim in 2018.

Crypto promoters from Andreessen to Zhao actively spread many lies and misleading claims

39

about the scheme, through malice or ignorance. Investment "experts" like Tom Lee, Mike Novogratz
|
40
|

and Dan Morehead often give extremely optimistic predictions
|
41
|
+
for the price on business or mainstream media. Those predictions have no rational basis whatsoever,
|
42
|
+
and, while qualified with "perhapses" an "maybes" and "not investment advice" disclaimers,
|
43
|
+
they are obviously intended to promote investment in the coins.

such as that it will "one day" replace credit cards, replace national currencies,

53

protect people's savings from inflation or confiscation by government, make banks obsolete,

starve governments to death by depriving them of taxes or "money printing",

No, national currencies fail to fit the definition, because people do not "invest"

66

in them with the expectation of gain. In fact, governments make their currencies

67

slightly inflationary precisely to discourage hoarding.

The only way to pay out old Bitcoin investors is to get money from new investors.

The only difference with a genuine Ponzi scheme, is who pays the old investors.

For the next three and a half years, block rewards will be worth 6.25 Bitcoins,
|
197
|
+
or around 200,000 USD at current prices.
|
198

Remember – there's one block reward every ten minutes, so that's $28M per day.
|

That's a lot of money, and a huge incentive for miners to buy new ASICs and run them, burning electricity.

[...]
|
201
|

In a perfect market equilibrium, the cost of mining Bitcoin is equal to the rewards.

202
|

It's never the exactly the case, but it's a good rule of thumb for evaluating how much it costs to run the network.

Forget the meme that "Bitcoin transactions are cheap".
|
208
|
+
The true cost of a transaction isn't the "transaction fees" - those are indeed manageable,
|
209
|
+
a few dollars per transaction - but the cost of maintaining the network.
|
210
|
+
As the Bitcoin network currently processes around 300,000 transactions per day at a cost of $28M
|
211
|
+
(plus transaction fees), the true cost of one transaction is around $100.
