Hilarious scam and everybody that lost money on this obvious ponzi deserves it
Especially this guy

hilarious and sad at the same time.
I don't agree with the word "ponzi" tho, because not every "fraud" is "ponzi", (maybe this is more akin to "death spiral financing" with the stock market) and overall, this was just a poorly executed plan that had vulnerabilities that were exploited.
The thing is, these high "APY" coins are like playing hot potato. It only works if you get out before you get burned.
because If it were
that easy to earn 20% APY on a truly stable currency, everyone and their mother would be doing it. They weren't because it's risky as hell.
look up luna and ust and how the algorithmic pegging works (absolute and utter s**t) and then look up the definition of a Ponzi. both will make you lose money but they are not remotely the same thing.
although Some projects or "stable coins" are more "trustworthy" than others, USDC, PAX, GUSD, PAXG..etc (a lot of them are "independently" audited). but, you still "trust" a centralized entity with your money, when crypto - supposedly - should be trustless.
I bought tera at 11 dollars back in august 2021 and and sold at 60 dollars or so in december last year, and made insane returns, but I know the risks that came with it, and If i lost it all, well, it is what it is, you gain some, you lose some. end of story
I just hope that this wave will weed out the people who aren't ready to handle the risk that comes with anything crypto ( i dont wanna call them stupid, financially illetrate or any names). I just hope that they leave this space on its entirety. crypto in it's current state is, unforunately, like gambling (Calculated or not, it still carries risk) and you can't gamble at the casino and then throw hands because you lost. it doesn't and will never work like that.
Sad, but I hope that people can learn from this and don't do the same mistake twice.
