#til Ponzi scheme is named after Charles Ponzi
Heaven help me, I have a friend who I tried to onboard to bitcoin several years back who called it a Ponzi scheme then and still thinks it’s one.
He sent a picture of SBF and said, “No thanks, I’m not a sucker.”
I wrote back, “Yes, everything else in crypto IS a scam. You think Ponzi schemes are something new? Let me introduce you to a guy named Ponzi from 100 years ago.”
I’m probably wasting my time, aren’t I?
