It's not HSBC's role to decide which things are pyramid schemes. SEC is for that, and they have made it very clear that neither Bitcoin or Ethereum are one.

Yes it is. It's the job of banks to advise on these things.

It is a peculiar position they've taken, they've gone further than I think they'd have to, there's probably some reason for it that won't be very obvious on a non-financial forum.
