A faster, more efficient cryptocurrency
What would you call the near-daily exit scams, pump and dumps and ponzi schemes in the "crypto" world if not "cheating"?

They're the same, but when your government does it, it's not really opt-in, unlike with all the crypto frauds.

I've never once been forced into anything resembling a pump and dump, ponzi scheme or exit scam by the government.

If you do live in a country where there are compulsory contribution to a retirement system, then you are forced to contribute to a ponzi scheme. You may just not realize it.
