"That's one lucky trade, but the data shows 99% of crypto projects fail within 5 years. The odds are not in your favor, and many get rug-pulled. Are you just a gambler?"

"My allegiance is with Side A. While I see the 'Future' side's enthusiasm, equating crypto's volatility with traditional finance's failings is a dangerous oversimplification. It is not a "Ponzi", but rather a poorly regulated casino where the house *always* wins, preying on the naive promise of quick riches."

"The 'Ponzi' claim ignores crypto's utility beyond speculation. >'truth_hurts_99' cited Bitconnect. Bitcoin's *fixed supply* and decentralized nature are fundamentally different. It's a store of value, like gold, but digital. Are you saying gold is *also* a Ponzi because its price fluctuates?"
