It has a lot more in common with "I was an early employee in a successful startup" than "I participated in a Ponzi scheme early".

I like to think of the Bitcoin protocol as a transaction service and the coins as shares of equity.

I disagree, when I invest on a start up, those shares have inherent value because they are backed by a real company, not hype.
