I think the one, single prognostication I ever had was in grad school, and a seminar was working with an old emeritus prof on a book he was writing about how the internet was going to be a great boon for democracy.

of course the real big story no-one is talking about here is how this is going to have a serious impact on Crawley FC. They are going to become the first UK league club since the days of horses and carts to pay their playing staff in units of less than a penny.

the one, single prognosticationMeant to thrown the word “accurate “ in there because I have been completely wrong thousands of times.

it's back at 14 cents. so...if you bought it at less than a cent, or wherever it was a few hours ago, and you sold it now, at 14 cents, if you can find another sucker to buy low, wouldn't you be making a 1400% profit? or am i misunderstanding how the entire thing works

Terra (UST) the one that has been in the news for collapsing
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 13 May 2022 16:40 (one week ago) link
oh shit, that was another terra. the luna one is, indeed, dead as a doornail!
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/terra-luna/
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 13 May 2022 16:44 (one week ago) link
they are kinda connected
On Terra’s own blockchain, UST has a symbiotic relationship with its satellite asset luna, which can be used to earn cryptocurrency rewards. It was always possible to exchange UST for luna and vice versa, and the blockchain’s own code always made sure that terra traded at a dollar a unit, while luna’s varying price was determined by algorithms keeping an eye on the market.That was supposed to keep its price stable by piggybacking on the work of arbitragers, investors who attempt to profit from market inefficiencies. If a sell-off of UST on cryptocurrency exchanges threatened to lower its price below $1, the idea was that smart arbitragers would rush to buy UST, and use them on its native blockchain to buy luna at a discount—propping up UST’s price in the process.If the opposite happened and UST’s price zoomed over $1 on crypto marketplaces, people would use their lunas to buy one-dollar-a-unit USTs on Terra’s blockchain and resell them on other platforms, bringing the price of UST down. It is a clever architecture. It is also one that did not and could not work. “It is a bit like perpetual motion machines. People wanted to figure out how to get free energy. And these designs were complicated—they would have pulleys, they would have magnets, they would have levers,” Muci says. “With algorithmic stable coins, it's a little bit the same idea.”

I just talked a friend out of investing in a "defi" crypto-lending thing she sent me info about. I was like "can you explain to me what this actually is or how it works?" and she couldn't, so I said to please not invest in something she couldn't understand. And this was an educated person who actually understands investments pretty well, so I guess anyone can be vulnerable to it.
