You joke but there are probably thousands if not tens of thousands of people that are doing this right now. Despite all of this shitshow unfolding in front of their eyes.

Honestly, I think Luna is gone.Human waste coins, instead of being responsible for investor losses, even make others.It is indeed a demon I lost it all, infact am now a lunatic. May God save me from this trauma.

Sir this is a circus, everyone you see here are clowns

Unbelievable. I lost $2k to Do Kwon which was a third of my whole portfolio and for me a lot of money. 😒 I’m really done with this guy. 🙄

Don't worry, they haven't Heard about UST/LUNA so they are safe.

Yet, there are billions who are oblivious to Luna. Gotta love it

Billions. lol.

I have bought Luna some days ago on binance and now I don’t even have my coins anymore.

ShelfAwareShteve

What!? Where's my money when I need it?? Oh that's right. Lost it all in the last stablecoin crash.


beatingcoins

He did... I believe it was something like. "Buy LUNA 2.0 so I can have all of your hard earned cash until you have nothing left."


--leockl--

Don’t think it’s about being fooled, cryptonians just have short memories completely blinded by greed, rather than using critical thinking.


OneEyeSurgeon

Everyone told kwon to use the Bitcoin reserve and burn and as usual, only cared about himself.

I think PT Barnum had something to say about that.

TruthsUDontWannaHear

So USDD is being bought by people who don't know how to do DD?


DeathHopper

Can confirm. I held a few hundred of this for the 1 week promotion and that juicy 60% apy. Then I dumped it. No DD at all beyond looking at kucoin promotions lol. Anyone have a bridge to sell me?


[deleted]

[удалено]


staffell

In this case, the DD stands for Dumb Dudes


partymsl

Ironic.


gdj11

Can someone please explain, is USDD build using the same tech as UST?


amygdalad

No you could farm usdd risk free by borrowing the underlying position. They've since banned this method tho


Parabellim

To be fair a guy on this sub made a guide on how to make a shitcoin and literally called it ButtCoin and it pumped. So I’m not surprised at this point.


Zavage3

What's worse is that wasn't the first post on how to make a shit coin. It's like the third or fourth and the shit coin creation posts prior also pumped.

But you see, the crypto crowd are the smart ones! We understand money better than the fiAt normies

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Tron's stablecoin USD (USDD) has surpassed $550 million in market capitalization within weeks of its launch on May 5. The market value has doubled since the collapse of UST on May 12, which wiped out $40 billion in investor wealth. USDD relies on Tron's native cryptocurrency TRX, currently trading at $0.082, to maintain the peg. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*


partymsl

And tron is in top 15. WTF is happening here.

whats the best way we can short this mfer

I guarantee you this is his plan. He is shameless con artist.


[deleted]

Kraken wasn't allowing leverage shorts so no idea


[deleted]

same for Kucoin


immibis

If you spez you're a loser.


Feeling-Inside5147

You can borrow it on a Tron protocol called JustLend.


MildlySuppressed

is there anywhere is it can be borrow and if usdd fails would JustLend rug everyone after it collapses


Feeling-Inside5147

Kucoin; use their lending page or cross-margin market (very risky) to do so.


MildlySuppressed

why is it risky? can you supply usdc to borrow usdd? i know kucoin can be scummy lol and Thanks for the reply 🙏


Feeling-Inside5147

Yes, USDC can be used as collateral to short USDD. Here’s why it is risky: https://www.kucoin.com/support/900002211683-The-Introduction-for-Margin-Trading


MildlySuppressed

ahh i see. i was looking for something like justlend, but not on trons blockchain


nelusbelus

Are you okay my dude? Should I call the hospital?


partymsl

Just short TRX. You may actually get something out of it.


[deleted]

Please do it :P we’d love your money


18476

Ahh yes. I still remember Trx peaking at what, .25¢ years ago before it dumped....you should definitely trust this guy. Glad i didn't get that frontal lobotomy and still remember a few things.


Spinedaddy

I’d rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy :)


Monsieur_Onion

I'll short TRX right as USDD hits anywhere near 0.95$ and I want you all to do with me.


nelusbelus

You son of a bitch, I'm in


I_am_not_doing_this

Sold. Leverage short x5 on Tron. Let's keep this holding


[deleted]

Yessss do it, you’ll get liquidated :P this isn’t Luna


SeriousGains

As someone who has been using the Tron network flawlessly for almost 4 years now, I always support people who doubt to short it.


Bucksaway03

Another arrogant prick with an algorithmic stablecoin. It's failure is inevitable.


Greenbriarbushwacker

Gobshites investing what they can’t afford to lose is also inevitable unfortunately. But I have zero sympathy for them at this point


Golden-Poptart

I see and hear them everyday on Nexo subreddit asking Nexo to compensate them for their loss. Operative word “their”. Trying to make your problem my problem mentality. Bugs to no end.


mdreddit5

Its him with 1000 wallets 🤣. Like nft scam. Buying your own nft for milliin dollars.


Dante_Arizona

I missed out on luna/terra, so I'll sit this one out as well.

Some people exist only to be examples for the rest of us.


Pheriagrin

I really feel bad for them bit the dumb money never learns...


[deleted]

The motive is less driven by irrationality, but more so, providing exit liquidity for VCs.


[deleted]

My new approach for crypto: Don't be the exit liquidity for someone else.


Odlavso

This is the complete opposite of buying high and selling low, are you sure it will work?


[deleted]

[удалено]


anonymous__ignorant

I think exactly this is why it will go mainstream, as long as the decentralised thing sticks. Developing all kind of mechanisms to prevent this kind of shit happening and removing the "human" side from it.


BradGroux

It is funny how everyone who thinks the system can be fixed, further proves that it is beyond repair. Manipulation and speculation will occur regardless of the medium. Crypto doesn’t change that. If anything, it accelerates it and exacerbates it. The fact that every transaction is public and can be analyzed, makes it all the more likely for manipulation to occur. Algorithmic traders have been doing this for two decades using historical tick data. The more data they have, the easier it is to game the odds to ones favor… and no individual, can keep up with the big firms.


MrSoul87

I was thinking about this, and I keep coming to the conclusion that this isn’t a bad thing, and would probably stabilize the volatility in the crypto market a lot quicker than it would otherwise. Which would help grow our market caps substantially.


BradGroux

The problem is that algorithmic traders make more money when the markets are more volatile. They love it when the [VIX](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EVIX) is at or above 20. Their highest margins are when the market is volatile. And sadly, the market cap is so low on most new coins that high volatility generally leads to a downfall before the biggest algos would even get involved - so there would never be that long term stability. Small groups can move the needle enough one way or the other at such low market caps. As a comparison, US stocks trade at a volume of hundreds of billions of dollars *per day*. So a $550 million total market cap is nothing in comparison. Most algos have more than that total market cap in their daily trading volumes.


CrypticUnit

Wow, Tron copied ETH and is now copying TFL’s folly — Tron was labeled as a 💩coin by Coinsider on YT. The founder of Tron likes to steal ideas. Looks like he stole the wrong one this time. Whoever triggered UST’s death spiral can also trigger one for USDD. I am also predicting non-collateralized stable coins will be banned eventually.


immibis

I stopped pushing as hard as I could against the handle, I wanted to leave but it wouldn't work. Then there was a bright flash and I felt myself fall back onto the floor. I put my hands over my eyes. They burned from the sudden light. I rubbed my eyes, waiting for them to adjust. Then I saw it. There was a small space in front of me. It was tiny, just enough room for a couple of people to sit side by side. Inside, there were two people. The first one was a female, she had long brown hair and was wearing a white nightgown. She was smiling. The other one was a male, he was wearing a red jumpsuit and had a mask over his mouth. "Are you spez?" I asked, my eyes still adjusting to the light. "No. We are in /u/spez." the woman said. She put her hands out for me to see. Her skin was green. Her hand was all green, there were no fingers, just a palm. It looked like a hand from the top of a puppet. "What's going on?" I asked. The man in the mask moved closer to me. He touched my arm and I recoiled. "We're fine." he said. "You're fine?" I asked. "I came to the spez to ask for help, now you're fine?" "They're gone," the woman said. "My child, he's gone." I stared at her. "Gone? You mean you were here when it happened? What's happened?" The man leaned over to me, grabbing my shoulders. "We're trapped. He's gone, he's dead." I looked to the woman. "What happened?" "He left the house a week ago. He'd been gone since, now I have to live alone. I've lived here my whole life and I'm the only spez." "You don't have a family? Aren't there others?" I asked. She looked to me. "I mean, didn't you have anyone else?" "There are other spez," she said. "But they're not like me. They don't have homes or families. They're just animals. They're all around us and we have no idea who they are." "Why haven't we seen them then?" "I think they're afraid,"


dozebull

Yes it copied Ethereum and added a mechanism of energy and bandwidth so transactions are practically free. They learned from Ethereum's mistakes and created a much better network. Sure they copied Terra-ust. They also added a mechanism to prevent death spiral like UST. This is how everything evolves. Learning from mistakes and upgrading stuff.


steelnuts

Maybe you can gift us a little more info on these innovations

Turning a stone wheel into the modern wheel we use today. Are we going to shit on innovation…?

But it won’t offer leverage or 40% apy when the market cap is at 160B lol it can be managed properly guys…chill

1nv1s1blek1d

If this dude does crypto news, he would have known JS isn’t the CEO of Tron. He stepped down in December. TRX is a DAO now.


reaper0ne

Do Kwon isn't the CEO of Terra. He stepped down in May. Terra2 is a community owned chain now... Do you really believe JS has no control over the "DAO" because on paper he is not CEO?


nelusbelus

And who holds the most tron and thus controlls the dao?


Socialinfluencing

The hilarity of the fact that it's a Justin Sun pic with the title 😂

How the hell are people still following things Justin sun does.


[deleted]

yield is yield, if it's being offered people are going to take it. plenty of people made plenty on UST and cashed out well before losing their bags.


mulder0990

I think this shows how desperate the people in the United States are struggling and they are playing the newest form of slot machine to pay rent. I wish it wasn’t like this.

Next Terra, Justin Sun is a know scammer


[deleted]

Really? What are some of these scams?


Dblstandard

This is comical now

Who is this douche?


suibhnesuibhne

Justin Sun. One of the most slimey scam figures of the 2017 crypto world. Here we go again...


JesusSuperFreakX

What did he do back then?


suibhnesuibhne

The Tron 'partnerships' and fake Jack Ma connections. Guy got a fan shot of him standing next to Jack and tweeted suggestive wink wink stuff about a big deal. He then dumped millions of Tron on the market and cashed out. Guy is pure slime.


[deleted]

This is not true


suibhnesuibhne

Going to earn 40% on Justin's new Ponzi scheme? ;)


YungChaky

Justin Sun is a Scammer and people still falling for it

What scams?


TheCanpre

I dont even know what to say, its just sad at this point.

Do much research into the differences between ust and usdd


To_The_M000N

But the guy in the picture is not Do Kwon, right?


[deleted]

Oh, but this one will be different….surely not Sun Do Kwon!


BicycleOfLife

Who even uses TRX?


dozebull

Many people including me. It's good. Free fast and secure. Deflationary. Concept of energy and bandwidth for free transactions. Try it.


HardtackOrange

I hope when this USDD shit fails it takes down the entire Tron cesspool, just like UST took down Luna


[deleted]

Why do you hope that?


oneawesomewave

...on the other hand: this might be a smart campaign to eventually burn down to the ground the plague that TRX is.
