You're wrong though. It wasn't this one man's fault. It was wall street giving him credibility. It was the media pumping up his visibility. It was the complicity of all those who got in early on his pyramid scheme and it was the very destiny of almost every crypto, if only people knew what a Ponzi scheme was
Yeah, with compound interest, this means you will going to get your money back 38 fold in 20 years. And not just for you, but for everybody holding the coin which totals billions of dollars. No matter how you spin it, that is going to fail
@@0jas. As the above person stated, you are "investing" in a ponzi scheme. There is no value in it at all. Literally zero. If you did a balance sheet analysis of this idea, it would always show nothing in assets. The only way it "makes' money is being getting other suckers to put in money. You might think there is strength in numbers and that combined interest will keep it afloat. It has never happened in history to this point.
And you could withdraw the money at any given point - fixed returns, high returns, low risk and you can withdraw the money at any point? You don't get more than two of those in normal circumstances
My cousin was heavily invested in Luna, he had all his savings there. I had some financial issues two months ago and asked him for help, he was reluctant at first but lent me almost half of what he had there. He called me two days after the crash thanking for needing his help, although he lost the rest of his savings he knew he had some safe with me. I just paid him back two days ago and he called to thank me again this morning.
What kind of dipstick puts all of his savings into crypto or stocks?? There’s nothing that’s too big to fail. Was he living under a rock around the 2008 crash?

lucky for him.. sad to see many people lost their money. some lost millions, some had their 50k reduced into 2.5k because of his unstable coin UST, some not so "lucky".. so sad..
I'm no financial expert, but whenever I hear about such high returns, alarm bells go off in my head. To pay out that much, there has to be some sort of 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' sort of stuff going on
in thrir defend what they are doing is the same US and EU governments are doing. just it is much more difficult to break them than Terra, but Soros did so
The sad thing of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" is "Paul" is everywhere on the social media showing off how successful "Paul" was. That's why Utube ad is very annoying.
Do Kwan actually saved me thousands of dollars. I was very close to shifting the money I had in Bitcoin to Luna when it was at about $110, so I started to do some research and reviewed his Twitter account. When I saw how he responded to legit concerns about his project with childish insults (calling people poor) I knew right then and there I did not want him managing my money. If he can't defend well thought out and reasonable concerns on Twitter, how could he defend his peg when it was under a brutal attack. So glad I passed.
Nothing in life is perfect and everything comes to an end. We can say that after us there are happenings or misdeeds ... they will come to an end someday. My thoughts and opinion. And yes, watcing how big companies die ... fun.
He already tested the cycle of this ponzis in many forms and his last big shorts is on this huge fast project. Look at his body language you will know he is giving signals to people he already involved with.
this is so common to have when it comes to investing but some people tend to ingore this for the chance of being insanely rich without much effort and that comes to bite them back very hard and i still find it shocking that some people even invest using life savings instead of money they're willing to lose if i could give any advice to prospect investors it's always to have your financial security first before you make plans to attain financial freedom
@@moonverine Do it. I'm going to assume you're somewhere around 25 because of the demographics of youtube. If you invest $50 dollars today and get the average market return (8% compounding annually) it'll be worth about $1k by retirement
The ego of Do Kwan was massively understated in this video. Multiple tweets to Do explaining exactly how this attack could unfold beforehand were met with Do saying he "dared billionaires to try" and mocked people on twitter saying 'have fun staying poor." He literally invited this attack. And Terra was planning on buying $10b worth of BTC to back UST which would have severely impacted the entire crypto market when he market dumped BTC to try to save UST. He's in a video saying his plan was to acquire that much BTC because if UST failed, the whole crypto market would fail....essentially looping the entire asset class into his ponzi-nomics.

true, scammers and colluders are really scamming rich people and unfortunately the most vulnerable are working class people top earners dont feel much Im sorry to anyone who lost
There's a simple way to have known that Tera was a scam. It was promising a 20% interest rate in a near zero interest rate environment. No explanation of their business model or fundamentals could possibly justify that kind of an absurd interest rate when they could easily borrow money for significantly less.
Why are people saying this? LUNA wasnt promising 20% interest returns. Even if you staked your LUNA crypto (most people don't), at the most, you'll get 6%, depending on which market manager. Most were less than 6%
You create a stable coin backed by nothing but an algorithm and another unbacked coin you can print unlimited amounts in order to keep the main coin short term stable, and then also rely on the investors to not make a run on the system. Anyone who properly thought about this and still thought it was safe bet deserved to lose their money.
When in history has there ever been an investment that could earn you 20% a year that was low risk? The only thing that I can think of at the moment that even comes close is the Series I Bonds that is currently paying 9.62%.
And that’s limited to $10k per person per year and floats so in a year it could be half that rate. Also, it’s locked in for a year and penalizes early withdrawals. If Luna locked for even a week, or let rates float or penalized early withdrawals or limited investments he would probably still be around.
Everyone should know that it's a scam as soon as they hear "20% guarantied growth" or any growth guaranty for that matte. Simple as that. I also disagree that these people wanted stability, they wanted quick and easy money.
Bitconneeeeccccct!!! It was much the same. They were meant to lend AND invest users money but no one was on the lending side. It was all nerds ONLY investing for a GUARANTEED high return. And it was all completely unsustainable.
Any investment that produces more than single digit % returns should make you sceptical The only investment in the UK that would easily make more than that is building homes
Brilliant documentary about Terra Luna! It's so sad that crypto - which is highly risky and complex - seems to appeal most strongly to the least sophisticated investors who really have no business messing with it in the first place. They are like lambs to the slaughter. From that perspective, the marketing for crypto is next-level genius. It's taking something terrifyingly risky and making it appealing with futuristic slogans and artwork.
The documentary never talks about how Do Kwon himself pulled out millions for himself. Maybe his company is kaput, but he walked away with millions regardless. Same with Mashinsky. The last one holding the bag is the loser. I guarantee the same with SBF. They all siphoned millions to billions for themselves.
Wonderful! It's great to see others who also benefits from the service of Mr Frederick, I'm currently on my 6th trade with him and it has been a nice experience.
He reminds me of celebrities living in hollywood bubbles. Here in Korea I’ve seen lots of controversies around kpop stars, other celebrities and some wealthy people about being rude to the ordinary people. Having more successful career than anyone and being prettier than others granted them to act such ways and then society didn’t do much about it since they are so successful, it didn’t matter what kinda personalities they own
I remember years ago everybody 'Bragging' on Social Media that they were gonna be Rich and we could all 'stay Poor if we wanted to.' I never trusted it. I kind of figured something like this would happen. I like my Money REAL and in my hands. I'm Old Fashioned.
It got really old listening to all the blowhard crowing about how much money they were making off bitcoin and other cryptos. And we were all stupid for not jumping in. Well, I still have all of my silver.
Money doesn't have value if people aren't producing something that we all want in exchange for it, a.k.a earning it. Nobody bragging about short-term speculative gains is giving their money value, so it's just a collectible. If the dollar collapsed, are those of us who actually produce wealth going to kiss crypto holders' a**es for some of their "money"? Absolutely not; those of us with skills and a desire to be a part of something greater than ourselves will continue to produce value, and trade with each other, with no currency at all - until a new currency catches on that rewards the right kinds of people. Where do crypto holders fit into this equation? They don't, and they'll be begging for scraps - in their best case fantasy situation where the dollar actually fails.
Yup, I never touched crypto but thought to throw some money at Luna at the dip. Literal throwaway money I won't miss for a second, mostly to try and understand the whole crypto thing a little better and see what happens. I have friends who call themselves crypto traders/investors who are now talking about strategies for me to follow and how I'm in the game now and have a good starting portfolio. No. This is gambling. This money I put in is like buying a lottery ticket. But it is scary. I apparently got quite lucky with where I bought because I've only had profit since and it almost tricks you into believing you have a skill and you start to wonder if you can/should make more moves. I don't gamble normally, I don't buy lottery tickets etc, so it's relatively easy for me to stick to my original plan of throwing away a couple bucks to see how this whole thing plays out, but even I can feel the pull of putting in more.
I see little difference between crypto investors, stock brokers, people who buy lottery tickets, people who gamble, & thrill-seekers who jump out of planes with bungie cords, & as guy who drives 10 over the speed limit while playing with his GPS. Risk-taking gives them a dopamine rush. Gotta get that next hit, even at the risk of losing it all.
Whenever any other system threatens the US financial system/network it will be shutdown using any means necessary. This crash was a classic case. The plan involved US crypto investment management firms Blackrock and Citadel, according to a message sent to Hoskinson by a person named Anna, who claimed to have borrowed 100,000 Bitcoins from Gemini. These firms were supposed to have changed 25,000 Bitcoins into UST after receiving the total amount.They then contacted Do Kwon, saying to want to sell a large amount of BTC for UST. They were alleged to have offered to sell a large number of BTC for a discounted price, which the latter accepted. Unfortunately, this resulted in UST’s liquidity being reduced. When this happened, Blackrock and Citadel allegedly dumped all of the bitcoins and the UST, causing massive slippage and forcing liquidation of both assets.The purpose of these TH-cam propaganda videos is to misdirect, slander and create convenient 'foreign villains' (Russians/Chinese/Japanese/Koreans etc) from peer competitors in order to enforce regulations to preserve the US status quo 😉
I do not understand how people do not get suspicious if somebody promotes a safe asset with 20% return. There is always a risk especially with such high promised returns and it is just foolish to use coins like that as bank accounts for your savings. It is tragic that a lot of people lost money but it is their own fault. Even if for these people it might not have felt like a speculative asset because of their lack of knowledge it always was very speculativ but many just realized it after the crash.
It was never safe. People just got on the hype train just like 1929 or 2008 crash. Everybody thinks they are genius and piles in without ever looking at what they are actually investing in. When the music stops playing, liquidity dries up and boom. Happens over and over, cycle to cycle.
I actually don’t think it’s so much people being ignorant, but people just having so much information and exposure constantly that they end up losing that speculation. The 20% return should definitely be a red flag, but the more someone reads about it and the more your brain will normalize it. The internet allows people enough info where anyone can convinces themselves of anything given enough “research”
@@llIllIlI of course are 20% not much compared to some other coins but these coins with multiple hundert percents return were purely speculativ and people where more aware of the risks. In Luna a lot of people put all there savings and assumed it is a safe investment but there is no free lunch, not at Wallstreet and certainly not in cryptos.
Just for lark (because I'm not stupid), I put $100 into Terra Luna, and a few months later it had gone up to $1400 or so. I was pretty pleased with this, and wondered how high it would go from there. And then suddenly it was gone. Oh, well, I've paid $100 for useless crap before, so no big deal. It's nice to finally hear what happened. At the same time I put $100 into Bitcoin just to see what would happen, and of course it's worth about $27 now. Now I'm stacking silver and gold coins. Might not go up insanely, but at least it is likely to preserve wealth and not turn into vapor.
Yep. In all my years studying economics (all and it's history), golden rule in investing "read the wind", and " if you heard it everywhere, the windows for great return of investment are gone, prepare to crash". I am sad for those whom lost their savings. Seen it in 98 in asia.
if the digital currency is coming your Gold and Silver will be worthless because nobody can or will convert it back into a digital currency or goods, ergo nobody will give you anything for it, its just a chunk of metal. In Germany you have already a cash limitation of 10K where the banks requiring a proof of origin and if you think, never mind I will just change smaller amont, if you doing this to often this will also trigger some alarms.

It's very simple. You can have as many coins as you want algorithmically playing with each other, but if no one wants to buy them there is no stability anywhere. That's why I never bought any Luna. You cannot have an algorithmic stable coin and have it depend on market forces. It's impossible. You need to have some entity that's willing to issue and buyback coins no matter what (i.e. A bank or government). I know it defeats the purpose of crypto, but if you want stability that's the price you have to pay.
Somebody gets it. "Decentralised" cannot exist without personal accountability. That is, "use it or lose it". If you cannot spend "coin" as it is, without to swapping it for another currency first, then it NOT MONEY. It is only tokens. Whales don't spend their coins on products because they want to become super rich should the coin become valuable in dollars. They want to spend dollars, not coin. Which is WHY crypto-coins are not stable. Any means of exchange, even gold bullion, is only useful if can be exchanged for grain. Or cars. Or fuel. Or shot gun cartridges and canned food. All of the above. A decentralised "currency" is only a currency if it is a useful means of exchange. This requires individuals to buy and sell their sweat and blood with the coin.The first entrepreneurs to do so are taking a FAR bigger risk than those who speculate billions of dollars on a "market" over the "coin" NOTICE TO ALL WHALES: spend it. Not trade. Don't convert. Spend. Spend with those genuine entrepreneurial risk takers who will sell their actual real work to you for your crypto. WORK IS VALUE! Not currency. J.P. Morgan was wrong. Gold is not money. WORK is money. J.P. Morgan was right. Everything else is credit.
Do Kwon dissolved the company days before the crash…either he was part of it or knew it was imminent. Dude needs to be in jail for a good couple of years, imo.

It was the 20% return. You cannot create that value from nothing, the intrinsic value would halve every few years, despite what people and the market valued it at. It was setup to fail by greed, cunning or ignorance. The 20% was like a growing vacuum on its actual worth. The price implosion was inevitable.
Yeah I agree, It makes absolute no sense how can you give everyone 20%. Bernie Madoff was giving something similar like 25% interest rate. Where is the value coming from? It was the growth that allowed people to get 20%. It would need to grow forever or die. It is common sense value needs come from somewhere. People involved must be 100 percent scammers it is basic math it will never work.

I don't feel bad, because anyone that staked their entire savings into one entity goes against the #1 rule in investing which is to diversify. Only greedy people would put everything into one entity. The only exception is if it's your own company really. The market as a whole has tanked and lost money as is typical, but if you ever get into investing properly you'll also realize it has ups and downs. Those that aren't too greedy and diversify intelligently bounce back with it and tend average decent rates. Those that act like it is a casino and put everything they have on red 45 get the results that come with it. Could it be a conspiracy as well? Sure. But there were other factors that showed that Terra likely wasn't sustainable in general well beforehand and just like you don't gamble alll your money at casino on a single roll same here.
if you decide to put your life savings in crypto and it crashes, i dont feel bad for you, cryptos are known to be unstable and dont be surprised if they crash and you lose all ur money.
The risk was significantly higher than federally (or similarly) backed savings methods since this is still the wild west of speculation and there are few to no protections from it all collapsing either by fraud, mismanagement, incompetent/ego, bad policy (like any time instant withdrawal), or security breaches. This is investing the same way a playing a slot machine is investing, you only win when you walk away. The need for people to gamble in the hope they get enough money for their twilight years so they don't have to work to death is dystopian. These desperate kind of risk for payout ventures are a feature not a bug.

I bought in at $50 and sold at $110 once I saw the drop from all time high. I figured it would drop with the market. I barley dodged that bullet. I recently bought back in again at 0.0001 with a very small amount. This could be the new Shib. People hoping for 1 cent.
Hello Islander, I'm a 100% Service Connected Disabled Unemployable Veteran and I make only $3332.06 monthly. I only bought only $100.00 and got just $20.02 out of it! Things like this are truly upsetting because I also bought Luna $100.00, and never got anything out. I'm NOT RICH, and losing $200.00 was an extremely hard hit for me.

This video really helped me understand crypto better, what it is, and what its potential drawbacks are. I appreciate that even in light of some of the massive failings of crypto, they don't vilify the currency or paint it as a dead end idea, but they do very eloquently show the risks of hype culture and over-sensationalization
Whenever any other system threatens the US financial system/network it will be shutdown using any means necessary. This crash was a classic case. The plan involved US crypto investment management firms Blackrock and Citadel, according to a message sent to Hoskinson by a person named Anna, who claimed to have borrowed 100,000 Bitcoins from Gemini. These firms were supposed to have changed 25,000 Bitcoins into UST after receiving the total amount.They then contacted Do Kwon, saying to want to sell a large amount of BTC for UST. They were alleged to have offered to sell a large number of BTC for a discounted price, which the latter accepted. Unfortunately, this resulted in UST’s liquidity being reduced. When this happened, Blackrock and Citadel allegedly dumped all of the bitcoins and the UST, causing massive slippage and forcing liquidation of both assets.The purpose of these TH-cam propaganda videos is to misdirect, slander and create convenient 'foreign villains' (Russians/Chinese/Japanese/Koreans etc) from peer competitors in order to enforce regulations to preserve the US status quo 😉
Historic? How historic was the Bernie Madoff collapse? How historic was the collapse of WorldCom or Enron? These things were massive events in their day, but in the larger historical narrative, they fade into obscurity. You have to wait at least ten years for a historical narrative to become discernible.

@@Robertgriffinne You'll make a lot of money in the long term if you stay invested and ignore the market's ups and downs; but, a major market correction triggers a lot of margin calls and sell-offs, sending the market further lower.

I mean even if this was an orchestrated attack, it doesn’t matter. The fact that this attack was possible to do so simply in the first place is the problem
Great content Dagogo , please always put the year on all your dates though. When I watch your older videos I sometimes find myself thinking it's all 2022. Lol
I agree that it’s Do Kwons arrogance is what lead to Terras collapse however everyone, especially in crypto, is responsible 100% for there own decision’s. It was said over and over that it’s risky and if people ignored the signs and stuck in more then they could afford it lose its their own fault. It’s a hard lesson to learn and I feel bad hearing of the people feeling that ending their life is the only way out but we need to stay grounded when we invest. Some will say oh well some people were only using it for savings etc. it doesn’t matter. When you invest in cryptocurrencies whether Stablecoins or not, you are 100% responsible. If you invest in a shitcoin scam that rugs because you saw it going up and wanted some gains then it’s your fault not the rug pullers unfortunately. People can argue with that all they want and one day when regulations come that may change but the fact is that for now YOU are 100% liable for all your investments in crypto. My heart goes out to anyone affected and I hope this is just a bump in the road for anyone who lost money.
I missed the boat on LUNA. I was so envious of the early investors who got in at .35 cents and turned a $35,000 investment into several million dollars. Now I feel lucky I never invested in it.
I've been around the market long enough to know that these ups and downs can still prove to be highly beneficial, time and again I've seen people use these windows of opportunities to make millions and set up for retirement, I just don't know how they did it.
@@charlottem.5134 Yes, you're right, it's not watching all videos wasting time on strategies, I was ignorant doing so till I met Rheagan Max Deplonty last year at a startup funding event in Washington DC.
Oh my, who could've thought that an investment system with cons similar to a pyramid scheme and "high return, low risk" motto would leave investors without money! What a surprising outcome!
Probably because they have never really had to make actual investments. I made more actual investments than they have when I bought a drawing tablet to venture into digital art
Luckily I've no chance of saving $500 a month! As for Do Kwon: we seem ti be creating a world run by people with dreams but who are unable to follow through on reality. His personality sounds like some politicians previously or currently in power around the world. More likely a con artist than genius which explains why he didn't last long in big tech.
Ngl I'm really shocked how many people risk their savings like this. Thing like this happen all the time where the it slowly build up with great promise and crash to 0 in less than a day. This Internet era with so much information around and people still hasn't learned. This type of thing is not new.
@@srinivaspantula5116 teen years are foreshadowing, usually. Had a guy in my speech class that was already "gaming" certain things: extra weight in bowling balls in competition.

The 00000's are just longer, that's all. Same game.
I had some money in the UST Anchor scheme... Figured the 20% rate was unsustainable, but thought it would come down slowly as they started going in May (reducing the rate by 2% every month while the rate was unsustainable). Either way, seemed risky so kept the amount reasonably low. Lesson learnt - if something seems unsustainable, shouldn't try to squeeze some last potential gains out of it. In hindsight, the biggest mistake was allowing UST to grow beyond its organic demand - they should have kept the maximum allowed UST growth relative to the demand on retail payments, and never incentivized the Anchor lending in any way. Unfortunately Do Kwon had all the incentives to grow the LUNA project as fast he could, and that's what he did.
You can still get 14% on Luna, if You're willing to deal with pool limitations. You can only withdraw what's in the pool at one time. Anchor is still a thing but under a different name. Right now I'm sitting at 14.65%apy and it uses axlUSDC. I love the new version. It's just like anchor but it uses usdc and doesn't let anyone crash the system.
This happened 2 weeks after Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet warned people about dangers of crypto (at Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting), but they were dismissed as old school. It's sad that people voluntarily chose to invest their entire life savings on speculation and greed rather than being sensible, research and think things through.
There are good crypto projects and very bad ones. Just because Enron failed does not mean that the stock market is a scam. Anyone with a brain would have had grave concerns about a stable coin backed only by an algorithm. Personally I think we need to see more failures in the crypto space in order to clear the field and create more skepticism.
@@richardleston5237 What I mean is that there are no fundamentals backing these cryptocurrencies. It's all fueled by speculation and greed, exactly like a Ponzi scheme. Even though my stocks can go to zero due to the business going bankrupt, I mitigate that risk by checking their financial health before investing. At least stocks are backed by real productive cash-generating entities.

Binance have KYC. Such a big amount sold cannot be anonymous. Why Binance CEO keep quiet?
so this shows that this was really a ponzi scheme
You're wrong though. It wasn't this one man's fault. It was wall street giving him credibility. It was the media pumping up his visibility. It was the complicity of all those who got in early on his pyramid scheme and it was the very destiny of almost every crypto, if only people knew what a Ponzi scheme was
'Safe' 'risk free' in crypto? umm I don't think there is a single person that knows anything about crypto would say that.
20% returns, virtual risk free? The term “too good to be true” is a massive understatement.
Yeah, with compound interest, this means you will going to get your money back 38 fold in 20 years. And not just for you, but for everybody holding the coin which totals billions of dollars. No matter how you spin it, that is going to fail

@@0jas. As the above person stated, you are "investing" in a ponzi scheme. There is no value in it at all. Literally zero. If you did a balance sheet analysis of this idea, it would always show nothing in assets. The only way it "makes' money is being getting other suckers to put in money. You might think there is strength in numbers and that combined interest will keep it afloat. It has never happened in history to this point.
And you could withdraw the money at any given point - fixed returns, high returns, low risk and you can withdraw the money at any point? You don't get more than two of those in normal circumstances
My cousin was heavily invested in Luna, he had all his savings there. I had some financial issues two months ago and asked him for help, he was reluctant at first but lent me almost half of what he had there.

I just paid him back two days ago and he called to thank me again this morning.

Do Kwan actually saved me thousands of dollars. I was very close to shifting the money I had in Bitcoin to Luna when it was at about $110, so I started to do some research and reviewed his Twitter account. When I saw how he responded to legit concerns about his project with childish insults (calling people poor) I knew right then and there I did not want him managing my money. If he can't defend well thought out and reasonable concerns on Twitter, how could he defend his peg when it was under a brutal attack. So glad I passed.

Multiple tweets to Do explaining exactly how this attack could unfold beforehand were met with Do saying he "dared billionaires to try" and mocked people on twitter saying 'have fun staying poor." He literally invited this attack. And Terra was planning on buying $10b worth of BTC to back UST which would have severely impacted the entire crypto market when he market dumped BTC to try to save UST. He's in a video saying his plan was to acquire that much BTC because if UST failed, the whole crypto market would fail....essentially looping the entire asset class into his ponzi-nomics.

It's taking something terrifyingly risky and making it appealing with futuristic slogans and artwork.

Here in Korea I’ve seen lots of controversies around kpop stars, other celebrities and some wealthy people about being rude to the ordinary people. Having more successful career than anyone and being prettier than others granted them to act such ways and then society didn’t do much about it since they are so successful, it didn’t matter what kinda personalities they own
I remember years ago everybody 'Bragging' on Social Media that they were gonna be Rich and we could all 'stay Poor if we wanted to.' I never trusted it. I kind of figured something like this would happen. I like my Money REAL and in my hands. I'm Old Fashioned.
It got really old listening to all the blowhard crowing about how much money they were making off bitcoin and other cryptos. And we were all stupid for not jumping in. Well, I still have all of my silver.
Pretty sad when people lose everything over a token and others make money shaking on tick tock.
Money doesn't have value if people aren't producing something that we all want in exchange for it, a.k.a earning it. Nobody bragging about short-term speculative gains is giving their money value, so it's just a collectible.
If the dollar collapsed, are those of us who actually produce wealth going to kiss crypto holders' a**es for some of their "money"? Absolutely not; those of us with skills and a desire to be a part of something greater than ourselves will continue to produce value, and trade with each other, with no currency at all - until a new currency catches on that rewards the right kinds of people. Where do crypto holders fit into this equation? They don't, and they'll be begging for scraps - in their best case fantasy situation where the dollar actually fails.
As someone with a gambling problem, I think people use the word "investment" to hide what they're really doing, even from themselves...
An astute and accurate observation.
Yup, I never touched crypto but thought to throw some money at Luna at the dip. Literal throwaway money I won't miss for a second, mostly to try and understand the whole crypto thing a little better and see what happens.
I have friends who call themselves crypto traders/investors who are now talking about strategies for me to follow and how I'm in the game now and have a good starting portfolio. No. This is gambling. This money I put in is like buying a lottery ticket.
But it is scary. I apparently got quite lucky with where I bought because I've only had profit since and it almost tricks you into believing you have a skill and you start to wonder if you can/should make more moves. I don't gamble normally, I don't buy lottery tickets etc, so it's relatively easy for me to stick to my original plan of throwing away a couple bucks to see how this whole thing plays out, but even I can feel the pull of putting in more.
yep , none of them are innocent
I see little difference between crypto investors, stock brokers, people who buy lottery tickets, people who gamble, & thrill-seekers who jump out of planes with bungie cords, & as guy who drives 10 over the speed limit while playing with his GPS. Risk-taking gives them a dopamine rush. Gotta get that next hit, even at the risk of losing it all.

The plan involved US crypto investment management firms Blackrock and Citadel, according to a message sent to Hoskinson by a person named Anna, who claimed to have borrowed 100,000 Bitcoins from Gemini. These firms were supposed to have changed 25,000 Bitcoins into UST after receiving the total amount.They then contacted Do Kwon, saying to want to sell a large amount of BTC for UST. They were alleged to have offered to sell a large number of BTC for a discounted price, which the latter accepted. Unfortunately, this resulted in UST’s liquidity being reduced.
When this happened, Blackrock and Citadel allegedly dumped all of the bitcoins and the UST, causing massive slippage and forcing liquidation of both assets.The purpose of these TH-cam propaganda videos is to misdirect, slander and create convenient 'foreign villains' (Russians/Chinese/Japanese/Koreans etc) from peer competitors in order to enforce regulations to preserve the US status quo 😉
I do not understand how people do not get suspicious if somebody promotes a safe asset with 20% return. There is always a risk especially with such high promised returns and it is just foolish to use coins like that as bank accounts for your savings. It is tragic that a lot of people lost money but it is their own fault. Even if for these people it might not have felt like a speculative asset because of their lack of knowledge it always was very speculativ but many just realized it after the crash.
It was never safe. People just got on the hype train just like 1929 or 2008 crash. Everybody thinks they are genius and piles in without ever looking at what they are actually investing in. When the music stops playing, liquidity dries up and boom. Happens over and over, cycle to cycle.
I actually don’t think it’s so much people being ignorant, but people just having so much information and exposure constantly that they end up losing that speculation. The 20% return should definitely be a red flag, but the more someone reads about it and the more your brain will normalize it. The internet allows people enough info where anyone can convinces themselves of anything given enough “research”
@@llIllIlI of course are 20% not much compared to some other coins but these coins with multiple hundert percents return were purely speculativ and people where more aware of the risks. In Luna a lot of people put all there savings and assumed it is a safe investment but there is no free lunch, not at Wallstreet and certainly not in cryptos.
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t General Mills have a crazy high dividend like 20% dividend.

Just for lark (because I'm not stupid), I put $100 into Terra Luna, and a few months later it had gone up to $1400 or so. I was pretty pleased with this, and wondered how high it would go from there. And then suddenly it was gone. Oh, well, I've paid $100 for useless crap before, so no big deal. It's nice to finally hear what happened. At the same time I put $100 into Bitcoin just to see what would happen, and of course it's worth about $27 now. Now I'm stacking silver and gold coins. Might not go up insanely, but at least it is likely to preserve wealth and not turn into vapor.

It's very simple. You can have as many coins as you want algorithmically playing with each other, but if no one wants to buy them there is no stability anywhere. That's why I never bought any Luna. You cannot have an algorithmic stable coin and have it depend on market forces. It's impossible. You need to have some entity that's willing to issue and buyback coins no matter what (i.e. A bank or government). I know it defeats the purpose of crypto, but if you want stability that's the price you have to pay.
I don’t think anyone is interested in crypto. At least not anymore.
I dont know, maybe try it with a sustainable interest rate of 0.0%.
@@Waspinmymind can confirm, plenty of people still interested.
Somebody gets it. "Decentralised" cannot exist without personal accountability. That is, "use it or lose it". If you cannot spend "coin" as it is, without to swapping it for another currency first, then it NOT MONEY. It is only tokens.
Whales don't spend their coins on products because they want to become super rich should the coin become valuable in dollars. They want to spend dollars, not coin. Which is WHY crypto-coins are not stable. Any means of exchange, even gold bullion, is only useful if can be exchanged for grain. Or cars. Or fuel. Or shot gun cartridges and canned food. All of the above.
A decentralised "currency" is only a currency if it is a useful means of exchange. This requires individuals to buy and sell their sweat and blood with the coin.The first entrepreneurs to do so are taking a FAR bigger risk than those who speculate billions of dollars on a "market" over the "coin"
NOTICE TO ALL WHALES: spend it. Not trade. Don't convert. Spend. Spend with those genuine entrepreneurial risk takers who will sell their actual real work to you for your crypto. WORK IS VALUE! Not currency. J.P. Morgan was wrong. Gold is not money. WORK is money. J.P. Morgan was right. Everything else is credit.
Who buys back the other crypto currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum?? 😃😃😃😃
Do Kwon dissolved the company days before the crash…either he was part of it or knew it was imminent.

Only invest what your willing to lose. If they didnt, its their own fault. Nobody should be a true victim of this chain other then loosing their gains or initial investment, which they already were prepared to lose in the first place. If you dont gamble you will not win any as well🤷🏼
Remember, people buying 6 digits, already had a lot of digits somewhere else. If they invest smart and not like a mad man, they only invested maximum of 3% of all their whealth.. oh boohoo😉 they probably made a 20x somewhere else as well.
We, the real working people, have to invest significant amounts to even make an investment worth our time, like worthy for a month of hard work.. we just cant loose such income, and 10 bucks generating 30 bucks in 20years doest sound ideal.. A rich person can and do invest pennies compared to what they have, and with those pennies making an amount we could life about our whole life on.

It was the 20% return. You cannot create that value from nothing, the intrinsic value would halve every few years, despite what people and the market valued it at.

Yeah I agree, It makes absolute no sense how can you give everyone 20%. Bernie Madoff was giving something similar like 25% interest rate. Where is the value coming from?

I'm not an investor but I genuinely feel bad for all normal investors impacted. I get it. The idea to want to be able to at least win something, anything in this unfair, fkd up world only to have it thrown back at you is always demanding, disheartening and so dystopian.
I don't feel bad, because anyone that staked their entire savings into one entity goes against the #1 rule in investing which is to diversify. Only greedy people would put everything into one entity. The only exception is if it's your own company really.
The market as a whole has tanked and lost money as is typical, but if you ever get into investing properly you'll also realize it has ups and downs. Those that aren't too greedy and diversify intelligently bounce back with it and tend average decent rates. Those that act like it is a casino and put everything they have on red 45 get the results that come with it.
Could it be a conspiracy as well? Sure. But there were other factors that showed that Terra likely wasn't sustainable in general well beforehand and just like you don't gamble alll your money at casino on a single roll same here.
if you decide to put your life savings in crypto and it crashes, i dont feel bad for you, cryptos are known to be unstable and dont be surprised if they crash and you lose all ur money.
The risk was significantly higher than federally (or similarly) backed savings methods since this is still the wild west of speculation and there are few to no protections from it all collapsing either by fraud, mismanagement, incompetent/ego, bad policy (like any time instant withdrawal), or security breaches. This is investing the same way a playing a slot machine is investing, you only win when you walk away.

Bloomberg: LUNA biggest scam ever
Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO, FTX: Wait! Hold my Token
I bought in at $50 and sold at $110 once I saw the drop from all time high. I figured it would drop with the market. I barley dodged that bullet. I recently bought back in again at 0.0001 with a very small amount. This could be the new Shib. People hoping for 1 cent.
Hello Islander, I'm a 100% Service Connected Disabled Unemployable Veteran and I make only $3332.06 monthly. I only bought only $100.00 and got just $20.02 out of it! Things like this are truly upsetting because I also bought Luna $100.00, and never got anything out.
I'm NOT RICH, and losing $200.00 was an extremely hard hit for me.

True, that was crazy!
This video really helped me understand crypto better, what it is, and what its potential drawbacks are. I appreciate that even in light of some of the massive failings of crypto, they don't vilify the currency or paint it as a dead end idea, but they do very eloquently show the risks of hype culture and over-sensationalization
I liked the video, too, but it doesn't really explain cryptocurrencies as such
I invested early on, saw the fall and got out, doubled my investment. You have to watch it like a hawk. Investing is risking.
Insane how many historic events I've been able to witness firsthand. I almost put money in Luna but decided not to

so which ones you bought instead?
@ Nah man, the best plan is to put all of your saving into some memecoin thats relevant because ???
Whenever any other system threatens the US financial system/network it will be shutdown using any means necessary. This crash was a classic case. The plan involved US crypto investment management firms Blackrock and Citadel, according to a message sent to Hoskinson by a person named Anna, who claimed to have borrowed 100,000 Bitcoins from Gemini. These firms were supposed to have changed 25,000 Bitcoins into UST after receiving the total amount.They then contacted Do Kwon, saying to want to sell a large amount of BTC for UST. They were alleged to have offered to sell a large number of BTC for a discounted price, which the latter accepted. Unfortunately, this resulted in UST’s liquidity being reduced.
When this happened, Blackrock and Citadel allegedly dumped all of the bitcoins and the UST, causing massive slippage and forcing liquidation of both assets.The purpose of these TH-cam propaganda videos is to misdirect, slander and create convenient 'foreign villains' (Russians/Chinese/Japanese/Koreans etc) from peer competitors in order to enforce regulations to preserve the US status quo 😉
Historic? How historic was the Bernie Madoff collapse? How historic was the collapse of WorldCom or Enron? These things were massive events in their day, but in the larger historical narrative, they fade into obscurity. You have to wait at least ten years for a historical narrative to become discernible.
Fear of inflation has hammered stock and bond prices, causing the financial markets to underperform the US economy.

@@Robertgriffinne You'll make a lot of money in the long term if you stay invested and ignore the market's ups and downs; but, a major market correction triggers a lot of margin calls and sell-offs, sending the market further lower.

Isn't this Do Kwon's 2nd failed Crypto scam? And now he wants to run another.
Crypto and NFT's are great if you're the one doing the rugpull.
Great content Dagogo , please always put the year on all your dates though. When I watch your older videos I sometimes find myself thinking it's all 2022. Lol
Just remove Terra and replace with FTX and you basically have the same story, so I say no date the lessons remain relevant and current.
I love this channel. So glad i found it. One of the best channels on TH-cam
Very True ---> I agree
I agree that it’s Do Kwons arrogance is what lead to Terras collapse however everyone, especially in crypto, is responsible 100% for there own decision’s. It was said over and over that it’s risky and if people ignored the signs and stuck in more then they could afford it lose its their own fault. It’s a hard lesson to learn and I feel bad hearing of the people feeling that ending their life is the only way out but we need to stay grounded when we invest. Some will say oh well some people were only using it for savings etc. it doesn’t matter. When you invest in cryptocurrencies whether Stablecoins or not, you are 100% responsible. If you invest in a shitcoin scam that rugs because you saw it going up and wanted some gains then it’s your fault not the rug pullers unfortunately. People can argue with that all they want and one day when regulations come that may change but the fact is that for now YOU are 100% liable for all your investments in crypto. My heart goes out to anyone affected and I hope this is just a bump in the road for anyone who lost money.

But there's a difference when investors get rugged pulled by developers. That's just fraud.
If they indeed are investors they would understand the risk involved with putting all their money in crypto.
Are we sure it's not Goldman Sachs?
@@corbinsmith50 yes but its also a matter of only putting an amount you can lose.
I missed the boat on LUNA. I was so envious of the early investors who got in at .35 cents and turned a $35,000 investment into several million dollars. Now I feel lucky I never invested in it.
You still got a second chance with TRON and USDD
I've been around the market long enough to know that these ups and downs can still prove to be highly beneficial, time and again I've seen people use these windows of opportunities to make millions and set up for retirement, I just don't know how they did it.
Trading with an expert has been the best way of making huge returns from crypto currency.
The common mistake we newbies make is without help and legit guidance from a professional.
@@charlottem.5134 Yes, you're right, it's not watching all videos wasting time on strategies, I was ignorant doing so till I met Rheagan Max Deplonty last year at a startup funding event in Washington DC.

As for Do Kwon: we seem ti be creating a world run by people with dreams but who are unable to follow through on reality. His personality sounds like some politicians previously or currently in power around the world. More likely a con artist than genius which explains why he didn't last long in big tech.
Sounds like ALL South Korean politicians tbh 😭
Very accurate comment.... jokers don't last long in any industry
Ngl I'm really shocked how many people risk their savings like this. Thing like this happen all the time where the it slowly build up with great promise and crash to 0 in less than a day. This Internet era with so much information around and people still hasn't learned. This type of thing is not new.
Eh if they didnt lose it to this, theyd just lose it somewhere else, so it doesnt really matter. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Do Kwon was once my student in South Korea. I've known him since he was 15. I was shocked to find out he was in the middle of all this... :(
damm, thats great
what did u teach him? did he take 'how to scam 101' class in south korea?

I had some money in the UST Anchor scheme... Figured the 20% rate was unsustainable, but thought it would come down slowly as they started going in May (reducing the rate by 2% every month while the rate was unsustainable). Either way, seemed risky so kept the amount reasonably low. Lesson learnt - if something seems unsustainable, shouldn't try to squeeze some last potential gains out of it.
In hindsight, the biggest mistake was allowing UST to grow beyond its organic demand - they should have kept the maximum allowed UST growth relative to the demand on retail payments, and never incentivized the Anchor lending in any way. Unfortunately Do Kwon had all the incentives to grow the LUNA project as fast he could, and that's what he did.
ʟᴇᴛ's ᴛᴀʟᴋ ɴᴏᴡ۩۩ 👇👇⬆️🚀.....
You can still get 14% on Luna, if You're willing to deal with pool limitations. You can only withdraw what's in the pool at one time. Anchor is still a thing but under a different name. Right now I'm sitting at 14.65%apy and it uses axlUSDC. I love the new version. It's just like anchor but it uses usdc and doesn't let anyone crash the system.
This happened 2 weeks after Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet warned people about dangers of crypto (at Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting), but they were dismissed as old school. It's sad that people voluntarily chose to invest their entire life savings on speculation and greed rather than being sensible, research and think things through.
And I don't think this is the end of it either. Principals and fundamentals can't be suppressed forever.
Yes. Or things that OPENLY and SOLIDLY produce a REAL product. Like investing in a fishing boat or something.
@@DrunkJackal you mean the principals and fundamentals of your investments going to zero ?
There are good crypto projects and very bad ones. Just because Enron failed does not mean that the stock market is a scam. Anyone with a brain would have had grave concerns about a stable coin backed only by an algorithm. Personally I think we need to see more failures in the crypto space in order to clear the field and create more skepticism.
@@richardleston5237 What I mean is that there are no fundamentals backing these cryptocurrencies. It's all fueled by speculation and greed, exactly like a Ponzi scheme. Even though my stocks can go to zero due to the business going bankrupt, I mitigate that risk by checking their financial health before investing. At least stocks are backed by real productive cash-generating entities.
