You understand that you're characterising crypto as a pyramid scheme, I guess?

We missed the train on MSFT, AAPL, TSLA, etc. as well. Are those pyramid schemes in your eyes, too?

No, they’re called companies.

Bravo, 10/10 response.

Since you seem to be ignorant of this, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Enron were also "companies," so your response isn't as witty as you think.

I really think “MSFT, AAPL, TSLA” aren’t comparable to your examples.

Yes, and I don't think cryptocurrencies are either. I thought it was clear that this was the object of our disagreement.

Going back to the reason for this thread, saying we "missed the boat" on anything does not mean it is a pyramid scheme -- I think I've demonstrated that and I'm not sure what the point of your comments is any more.
