    Did you even bother your arse Googling 'Ponzi scheme', clicking the first result, and seeing if, just maybe, it bears some resemblance to economic bubbles? (go on, do it now...)

    If someone buys a house to live in, grand, they are not any different to someone buying bitcoins and holding onto them long term, for use as a currency not as a vehicle for speculation.

    If someone buys a house, watches a housing bubble grow, and sells on the house for the express purpose of profiting at the peak of the bubble before it bursts (in full knowledge that they are profiting off of a bubble, where a lot of people must lose and go into enormous debt in order for the financiers to turn a profit), then yes - they are an absolute scumbag.

    As you have seen, the damage caused by the speculators in the housing bubble, was worldwide and crippled entire countries - there's a reason Ponzi schemes are illegal, and a reason why economic bubbles should be strictly regulated against (arguably there was rampant fraud in the case of the housing bubble too - banks pumping out mortgages/debt beyond sustainability, to inflate their own wages/bonuses, and to give their partners in finance a massive bubble to speculate/profit over).

    The kind of scumbags who profit off of these unethical (yet legal) acts, at the expense of other people (and in the case of the housing bubble, the expense of the rest of society), are far more damaging to society than your average criminal, because their actions affect a much greater number of people, and do far more wide ranging and long lasting damage, and are far easier to get away with without repercussion (which is why, where they are made illegal, they should be extremely harshly dealt with).

    A ponzi scheme involves returns being paid to investors using new investor's money.. It's really quite simple. I don't care about your scumbag argument that much.. It's just inaccurate to start it with a big word you don't understand.

    It's fallen about 17% since the start of the day.

    It's had bigger one day falls in the past.

    I don't doubt that it's going to get lower, but it's not going to completely implode.

    I'd imagine there are just a lot of people who've had large wallets for a while trying to cash in on the high price, which has meant there is suddenly a lot of btc in circulation and now the demand doesn't meat supply, where as yesterday and the weeks before supply was much smaller than demand.

    You can't even bother your arse Googling it - go on, as I said in my last post, put Ponzi Scheme into Google, and click the first link, and see if it bears any resemblance to bubbles like we're seeing now.

    Except you know I wasn't arguing what you're pretending I argued, but you want to hold onto that straw-man because it's the only single thing your argument is based on - get back to me when you've taken 5 seconds to type that into Google.

    There are a lot of potential causes, you should examine your testicles regularly and go to your GP if you notice any lumps or are in any pain

    The physiological difference in positioning which can be perceived as size is due to the difference in venous drainage between the two testicles and whether the testicular vein joins the inferior vena cava directly or if it first joins the renal vein

    any thing else?
