Governments around the world have raided private pensions, seized assets, and shifted retirement promises. Is the UK state pension safe — or is it a slow-moving Ponzi scheme? In this episode, we break down historic examples, population math, and why Bitcoin may be your way out.

💥 Main Topics Covered:

• What defines a Ponzi scheme — and how the UK state pension compares
• Why you can't opt out of National Insurance as self-employed in the UK
• How much the average worker contributes: example of £81,000 over 20 years
• Population decline and the unsustainable math behind government pensions
• Can Bitcoin be called a Ponzi scheme? Here's why it doesn't qualify

🏛️ Global Pension Grabs — Real Examples:

• 🇵🇱 Poland (2014): €36 billion in private pensions moved to the state
• 🇦🇷 Argentina (2008): $30 billion nationalized during crisis
• 🇭🇺 Hungary (2010): Mandatory transfer or lose benefits
• 🇨🇱 Chile: Privatized in the '80s, now back under reform pressure
• 🇨🇾 Cyprus (2013): Bail-in seized uninsured bank deposits
• 🇺🇸 US Gold Confiscation (1933): Executive order to hand over gold

📉 The Cracks in the UK Pension System:

• £6,600 is the top searched term: “UK pensions amount” — but how sustainable is it?
• Future retirees face a shrinking worker base, rising NHS & care costs
• Will the state pension be scrapped? Growing public doubt
