Apr 29, 2021 at 7:09 comment added BronzeAge Does he simply mean a "bubble" or a "pump and dump"? I'm not seeing the difference between these and Taleb's "open Ponzi scheme".
Apr 29, 2021 at 1:55 comment added Pieter Wuille If I google for "open ponzi" I find (a) a reference to Nassin's characterization of Bitcoin and (b) this SE question. So I'm afraid this is indeed a newly-coined term.
Apr 29, 2021 at 1:27 comment added Nikson I am curios if the concept of an «open Ponzi scheme» is at all possible. Nassim N. Taleb seems to have created this term to use it specifically for Bitcoin. If we agree on his suggestion, without questioning the term at all, we will have to submit to his explanation of the term. I personally believe the concept of an «open Ponzi Scheme» to be a contradiction and therefore his main idea to be invalid.
