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
