You are next level illiterate. How does satoshi or whoever the original investors not make money off of every investor after them? All this guy is saying is his billionaire ass missed out capitalizing on the bitcoin trend the most back then. The only thing that doesn't make btc a true pyramid is because the people are on top are not guaranteed their profits from everyone after them since the smaller guys are holding up the bigger guys as far as where the price is at. The us is a pyramid too at least be honest about it the mainstream is not going to take this thing serious if there are "secrets".
