Personally, I’d say Bitcoin is a negative-sum game.
In order for one person to win, thousands of people have to lose. If that was all it was, Bitcoin would be merely a zero-sum game. However, Bitcoin mining also uses up valuable resources like electricity and processing power, so there’s still a loss.
Calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme isn’t wrong, though.
Right, their comment basically is “A Ponzi scheme is when a company does it, but Bitcoin isn’t a company, so when Bitcoin does it it isn’t a Ponzi scheme!”

Ok, but they never denied they were doing it…
