    so your issue is with fiat money and basically the entire modern monetary system… nice

    I still don’t understand how a literal ponzi is as stupid as fiat money but you do you

      Don’t force assumptions on me. I have no issue with fiat or other ‘money’. Or property, or investments.

      Ahh, my friend, forget ponzi. Explain economics to me.

      Or, alternatively, explain how ‘traditional’ investments or property or fiat differ from a ponzi.

      ‘Elaborate’. I’ll wait.

        Not the OP bit I’ll take the bait… For as long as humans have existed we have paid others to pretend to know the future, once we used chicken entrails, tea keaves etc now we use economists who pretend they are different to thier predecessors who used tea leaves but they to use tools inappropriate to forecasting,

        I don’t know if you mean to come across like a profound philosopher whos stumbled onto a great secret that makes all economics? digital currency? fiat currency? as dumb as a literal ponzi but if you could get your point across without being vague as hell that’d be great.

          The emperor has no clothes 🤣. That’s as simple as I can put it.

          You keep bleating ‘Ponzi’ as if that’s a logical explanation.

          Pick anything you like. Anything. Prove it’s not a Ponzi. It might help you understand what an actual Ponzi is.
