THE ORIGINAL PONZI SCHEME

In 1919, Charles Ponzi promised 50% returns in 90 days. Wise men followed. The government later exposed him as a swindler. The classic Ponzi structure? Take money from Peter, pay Paul, repeat, until it all collapses. No real investment, just an illusion.

Now look around:
♦️Government pensions? Paid by new taxpayers, not past investments.
♦️Social Security? New workers fund old retirees.
♦️Fiat money? Printed to cover past debts.

#Ponzi schemes aren’t just illegal. They’re policy.

This is why we #Bitcoin.
#Nostr facts.
