BITGESELL VS PONZI SCHEME

Why isn't Bitgesell a Ponzi scheme?

Bitgesell, like Bitcoin, is not considered a Ponzi scheme because it lacks the key characteristics of fraudulent investment schemes. Ponzi schemes typically promise high returns with little or no risk, using new investors funds to pay earlier investors. Here's the 24 reasons why Bitgesell can never be considered a ponzi scheme.

1. Decentralization

Bitgesell operates on a decentralized network of nodes, meaning there is no central authority or entity controlling it. In contrast, Ponzi schemes are typically orchestrated by a central figure or organization.

2. Blockchain Technology

Bitgesell transactions are recorded on a transparent and tamper-resistant public ledger called the blockchain, reducing the likelihood of hidden fraudulent activities, a feature absent in Ponzi schemes.

3. Limited Supply

With a capped supply of 21 million coins, Bitgesell creates scarcity, potentially driving high demand. Ponzi schemes often promise unlimited returns, which is unsustainable.

4. Open Source and Community Involvement

Bitgesell's source code is open source, allowing anyone to review and contribute. It has a large and active community of developers and users, in contrast to Ponzi schemes lacking open collaboration.

5. Market Forces

Bitgesell's value is determined by market-driven forces of supply and demand. Ponzi schemes rely on constant recruitment of new investors, unrelated to market dynamics.

6. Win coins by Airdrop

Any Bitgesell Road Collection NFT holder can earn wBGL tokens (exchangeable for the BGL native coin) for free through an airdrop by limited offer. This advantage is granted to those who appreciate art and cannot mine Bitgesell. The holder only needs to own one NFT, and the more NFTs owned, the more wBGL can be earned.

7. Too Good To Be True

Caution is advised in the cryptocurrency space due to instances of fraudulent schemes. Investors should conduct thorough research and be wary of promises that seem too good to be true.

8. Longevity

Bitgesell has 4 years (since 04.04.2020) of continuous blockchain activity, exceeding the short lifespan of many Ponzi schemes.

9. Socials Transparency

Bitgesell's team has maintained transparency from the beginning on BitcoinTalk, issuing its first press release 40 days after starting mining. Contrastingly, Ponzi schemes often rely on hidden or secret dealings.

9. Structure Collapse

Bitgesell's maximum supply of 21 million coins and regular burning of small satoshis through transaction fees contribute to its stability and value. In contrast, Ponzi schemes are exponential and collapse as new participants decrease.

10. Distributed Mining

The process of creating new Bitgesell coins (mining) is distributed among a network of participants (pools), making it resistant to central control.

11. Store Value Acceptance

Bitgesell recognized worldwide and accepted gradually by new holders, reinforcing its legitimacy compared to the localized nature of many Ponzi schemes.

12. Healthy Volatility

Bitgesell's price value fluctuates based on market demand and supply, unlike the fixed returns promised by Ponzi schemes.

13. Public Awareness

Bitgesell is openly discussed in platforms like Discord, Telegram, Twitter, BitcoinTalk, Medium, or GitHub, unlike Ponzi schemes that often rely on secrecy and misinformation.

14. Legal Recognition

Bitgesell is legally recognized in many jurisdictions, adding legitimacy to its status as a digital asset. Ponzi schemes avoid legalization and public recognition.

15. Innovation

Bitgesell presents unique deflationary characteristics, showcasing genuine innovation beyond Ponzi scheme attributes.

16. Public Ownership

Bitgesell is owned by a diverse global community, not controlled by a single individual or entity.

17. Limited Promises

Bitgesell doesn't promise fixed returns or dividends, unlike Ponzi schemes. Its valuation calculations are based on reliable model statistics, possible to be extrapolated in bull run markets.

18. Immutable Transactions

Once recorded on the blockchain, Bitgesell transactions are irreversible, preventing fraudulent alterations. 

19. Educational Resources

Extensive educational resources about Bitgesell are available on the internet, promoting informed decision-making.

20. Security

Bitgesell's network relies on cryptographic principles, enhancing security and reducing susceptibility to fraud.

21. Community Consensus

Changes to the Bitcoin protocol, which Bitgesell follows, require consensus among the community, preventing unilateral control.

22. Legitimate Use Cases

Bitgesell is used for various legitimate purposes, such as remittances and a store of value.

23. Regulatory Compliance

Bitgesell is legal worldwide, adhering to regulations implemented in many countries for cryptocurrencies.

24. User Control

Bitcoin users, including Bitgesell users, have control over their private keys, ensuring ownership and security 24 hours a day.
