Recently I called 'bitcoin' and other 'cryptocurrencies' the largest Ponzi Scheme in history.
Silly me - slipped my mind that SOCIAL SECURITY is the longest running and largest PONZI SCHEME in modern day history.
Cryto's may one day eclipse it ... but for now SS holds the title.
Was a Ponzi Scheme from day one - always depended on ever increasing population - the fundamental marker of all Ponzi schemes. When you run out of dupes, it collapses, with those that came in last losing the greatest amount of money.
There is no way to make such schemes work once it runs out of cash cows to milk.
