  • Boris Johnson Labels Bitcoin a 'Ponzi'; Michael Saylor Counters
    March 14, 2026, 5:32 PM EDT. Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson called bitcoin a 'giant Ponzi scheme' in a recent column, citing a personal story to question its value and trustworthiness. Johnson argued that bitcoin lacks physical appeal and institutional backing, compared to assets like gold or collectibles. In response, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, rejected the claim, emphasizing bitcoin's decentralized nature and lack of a central operator, core traits that distinguish it from traditional Ponzi schemes. The crypto community added that bitcoin's value is market-driven, with open-source code and no guaranteed returns. The debate highlights ongoing tensions between traditional finance skeptics and cryptocurrency advocates concerning bitcoin's legitimacy and role in financial systems.
