    Ethan, in truth, the banking systems are running the largest Ponzi Schemes... Thanks to fractional reserve lending they can lend out money they don't really possess.
  • Hey! Glad you found me over here :)

    LOL. So fractional reserve banking is a whole nother pandoras box, however I wouldn't call it a Ponzi scheme i.e. taking investors money promising a return and using new money to pay old investors.

    I will definitely be doing some episodes in the future addressing Fractional Reserve Banking.

    Happy Holidays!
