Because cryptocurrencies are fundamentally futures speculation without the speculation part, they require continual increase in financial investment (usually in terms of spent energy). It's a ponzi scheme. davidwalshblog/1351351650305380352

You're being encouraged to join in because without a continually increasing flow of money, the inherent value is nothing, and the "investor" feels duped and scammed. They were duped and scammed, but they will try to rope you in to avoid that feeling as long as possible.

When the planet can no longer viably support the energy requirements for cryptocurrency, it will come crashing down spectacularly. Until then, it's a ponzi scheme.
