If your goals is to communicate an idea to other people or society and you are the one talking, you can and should choose to not use incorrect language. Even if the other person sometimes uses incorrect language. You insistence on using incorrect language as a means of "resolving" segregation and confusion is absurd. There is no such thing as "a distributed ponzi scheme" and telling people that will increase, not decrease, "segregation and confusion". > reality doesn't have such distinct boundaries as you are trying to enforce. It really does, as defined by law and consequences. A ponzi scheme necessarily involves fraud and a speculative bubble does not necessarily involve fraud. The fact that some speculative bubbles do involve dishonesty and manipulation (a pump and dump, like you mentioned) does not change that!
