A Suécia foi o país que mais longe foi no Estado de bem-estar social.
Nos anos 1980, o gasto público chegou a 72% do PIB. O imposto de renda máximo se aproximou de 90%. O Estado era o maior empregador do país.
O resultado foi previsível: o PIB caiu por três anos consecutivos, bancos quebraram em série, o desemprego saltou de 2% para 11% e a taxa básica de juros chegou a 500% ao ano.
Soa familiar?

R to @daily_btc_lore: 2/8 - MTI launched in 2018 in South Africa, pitching itself as an exclusive club. Members sent Bitcoin and let the company's algorithm do the work — buying and selling forex, generating passive returns.
The pitch: 10% a month. Every month.

R to @daily_btc_lore: 3/8 - There was no algorithm. Steynberg's "trading bot" didn't exist. MTI was a Ponzi: new deposits paid earlier investors' returns.
What kept it running was the referral structure: bring in a friend, earn a bonus. Every recruit was a new source of Bitcoin.

MTI kept taking deposits for another four months.
