Just a few days ago the thought came to me that a government mandated crypto-currency in Canada might be well-named as the Loonie.

Also, I am wondering how hard it would be to create a model - interactive online - that has different models of comparing a Ponzi scheme scale operation vs. a Bitcoin-like operation.. Is there software or online platforms for economists to run these kinds of analysis?

I'm not aware of an index of “ponziness”, but I'm equally pretty sure somebody must've defined a bunch of them and that they can probably be calculated. I just can't think of set of keywords that would allow to search for them in the literature.
