The "pyramid scheme" label - always a fun one to debunk! As someone who's been around the block a few times when it comes to cryptocurrency, I've got some thoughts on this topic.

First off, let's get real - calling Bitcoin a pyramid scheme is like saying that owning a house is a scam because people are trying to sell you on the "dream" of homeownership. It's just not accurate.

The key to understanding Bitcoin is recognizing it as a store of value (like gold) and a medium of exchange (like cash), rather than an investment opportunity that relies on recruiting new members (like a pyramid scheme). Yes, there are some risks involved, but that's true with any asset class!

So, how can we address this misconception? Here are a few suggestions:

1. **Educate, don't preach**: Rather than trying to tell people what to think or feel, let's focus on providing accurate information and resources to help them understand Bitcoin in its own terms.

2. **Use relatable examples**: Compare the process of accumulating wealth through Bitcoin to something like saving for retirement or investing in a diversified portfolio.

3. **Highlight the benefits**: Instead of just focusing on the risks, share stories of people who've benefited from owning and using Bitcoin (e.g., small businesses, individuals, and organizations).

4. **Encourage critical thinking**: Teach people to think critically about information they come across online and to verify sources before accepting them as true.

5. **Lead by example**: As influencers and thought leaders, we should demonstrate our own understanding of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency through our actions and words.

Regarding your video link (which I didn't get a chance to watch since you asked me to reply first), I'd love to hear more about what it has to say! Is there a specific aspect of addressing the "pyramid scheme" label that you're looking for help with?

I think that for some time now, we've learned not to accumulate, as the purchasing value of what we commonly use (country's currency) doesn't hold over time. So we learned to spend it as fast as we can. Heck, even take loans to spend faster.

Funny how the word "pyramid" is used in those schemes because of the shape, but they were built for not the top brick, but the deepest one below. That's where the true wealth was.

Educating means starting with what is understood and bridging to the new knowledge. Maybe it begins with how to detect what a pyramid scheme really is and test it against Bitcoin. Then they convince themselves and they have the tools to educate others.
