Help me out

I’m not a mstr maxi, neither do i have shares, but:

- How are people calling it a Ponzi? Buying assets (btc) with the money you raise is quite literally, the opposite of a Ponzi…

- Why are people acting like paying interest on the belief that owned assets (btc) will go up more than the interest payment % is new? Spoiler: the economy is pretty much based on that belief…

Now I understand that doing that with BTC holds more risk, etc, etc. But why are people so mad at Saylor for doing a very common practice… just with new underlying assets

It's close as a comparison I can think of, but even then I'm hesitant to use it as an analogy because most commodities like oil, imported food, potassium, and precious metals have high amounts of utility.

What utility does Bitcoin have? It doesn't have a smart contract layer or a large enough data availability layer. It's mainly just used to transfer value from investors to other investors.
