    Except we’re not trying to convince people to buy in to money so that we can cash out. Money doesn’t only increase in value by getting more people to buy in to it. I’ll grant you the defined value of a dollar is nebulous, but it’s not even remotely a ponzi scheme. Where crypto is, definitionally, a ponzi scheme. It sounds like you bought in to it, you probably want to cash out before you lose any more.
