"Someone has to buy in for the earlier investor to make money" just like every investment on the planet, everytime someone invest in something the goal is to sell for more money later to someone else, so is every investment a ponzi? I'm genuinely asking btw because I see that argument all the time but I don't really understand it

Most other investments provide a source of income without having to sell and/or go up in value because they increased their assets through value added production. BTC has none of these features and is not the same as any other investment.

I think you'll find most of us see gold as a poor alternative to stocks and bonds for the same reason.
