    I put a quarter of my retirement fund into Evergrande stock and another quarter into monkey art NFTs. This hasn't worked out as well as hoped. I'm pretty sure I can make everything I lost back by investing the remain 50% of my savings into *tulip bulbs*. I'm sure there's going to be another tulip bulb bubble and I'm in early. I just need to time my exit appropriately to catch the peak of the bubble. My experince with Evergrande and monkey art NFTs were expensive but I've learned my lesson well. Just wait, I'll be retiring in comfort yet.

      ⛔️Stop it 🤦‍♀️
      Terra is definitely NOT a Ponzi 🤦‍♀️
      If Terra LUNA & UST a ponzi, everything else should also be considered a Ponzi (including most business, governments, religions..); where you need new “adopters/believers” to “pay” the early adopters.
      Ponzi scheme conditions includes:
      [1] Nonexistent enterprise (Terra ecosystem exists & host amazing establishment-shaking protocols like MIRROR).
      [2] Based on lie & fraud (Terra LUNA & UST white papers were published & the mechanism of the algorithmic stablecoin never hidden. It was well known. No one lie about it).
      [3] Paying early investors from money invested by later investors. As I said, every venture functions like that. Terra didn’t hide this. It was one of the way to attract developers & new users to grow the ecosystem until it become self-sustained.
      So, Ponzi includes lying about the source of of the revenue & the mechanism of how it works.
      It is human nature to lean to scapegoating someone after loss & resisting any personal responsibility regarding self-risk management.
      Here is what really happened:
      Terra ecosystem mostly work great for years & surpassed many of its competitors. It was working fine until it didn’t. Many people, me included, have grew comfortable with that & simply we stretched our luck.

    Another great analysis, Patrick. As a currency trader with a 40 year real estate investment background, I've long scratched my head over the entire crypto world. We don't trust ANYBODY in real estate: that's why we have lots of lawyers at a closing to make sure the 20 to 40 pages of legal contracts actually do what both parties said they want done. But we should trust these folks behind crypto air? Naw, I don't think so. And based on your analysis - which I trust implicitly - it proves out what I've felt all along. I'll just take the hundreds of thousands of dollars of real estate profits or "real" things and trade currencies based on "real" economies, and we'll just see what happens to all this other stuff 5 years from now. Maybe someone will figure something out, but when all you say is that it's based on trust, or that there will always be someone - or some-THING - to back your thin air coin: there may not even be anything to talk about in 5 years just as no one cares about all the derivative nonsense that caused the last crash....

      @@jasperhorace7147 Yes, I know. A lot of these people seem so obsessed with conspiracy theories they wouldn't want the regulation anyway! They would somehow twist things and believe that the regulation designed to keep them safe was actually some sort of government plan to steal their crypto 'coins' or something.
      This might sound like a leap but I think we need to look again at the drugs laws in Western countries. It is well known that cannabis causes severe paranoia and permanently reduces cognitive ability in a lot of people. As cannabis consumption has been legalised it is plain to see that there is a whole generation getting more paranoid and less rational. The crypto pushers are just cashing in on a delusional generation many of whom aren't able to think straight.

    Trouble is I don’t think people got the memo. The Plain Bagel, in his “Investing TikToks Part 4” showcase, shares someone who said they were going to finance a house with income from Anchor. They seemingly expect Anchor to continue paying 19% for 30-plus years.

    ARK ETF (Cathie Woods Team) interviewed Luna and they seemed it like what they heard. The one think I could not wrap my head around was you could borrow money for less than they were paying to person you were borrowing it from and I could not make any sense of how they could do that? If that was the case couldn't you borrow money and then loan it back and keep the difference??? That was like a year ago or so. You should look up the interview. They really didn't do much follow up or probing questions. Maybe that is why ARK funds is down so much???

Instead I'm going to suggest that many universities are now offering diplomas in egyptology. However some are saying that this is a giant pyramid scheme. Don't say you weren't warned.
