Terra (LUNA) loses 99% of value in less than 24 hours[^]
Ouch. That's going to hurt some people, a lot.
Still got Crypto? It may be too late to get out already ... I can see the general downturn taking a nosedive if too many people start to cut their losses.

The general market yes, but the people behind Luna were promising a guaranteed 20% return; so they were running a ponzi scheme and just haven't been arrested yet.
According to the font of universal knowledge known as random people on twitter  Luna/etc's cratering was the result of heroes in private equity nuking them for their own profit.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And probably never will. There are laws on the books against MLMs. Anyone who has ever been in whatever the current incarnation of Amway is knows it is an MLM, but DeVos became Secretary of Education, so there's that.

She hasn't spoken up against them, so yes. This article states, "Amway ... used Betsy DeVos to push through deregulations of MLMs and pyramid schemes, ...", but does not source it. Having been in Amway, and seen how they parade the husband and wives of the top earners at their events, I have no doubt she somehow involved, and wishes MLMs to succeed.

I thought he was too smart for the NFT scam but may have forgotten about the pyramid scam.
OTOH, my brother was furious when his wife sent $1K to one. She made $9K from it. Go figure.

It is nice to get in at the bottom. Selling up to a week ago would also have been good. But not selling ... Maybe not so good. Although I see the 'pushers' are already dreaming of further reapings...

I invested for "fun" and due to my prone to addiction personality, I ended up putting lot more money than I should have. Still nothing life harming but I am currently 87.5% in loss.

Ouch indeed.
Easy to make jokes when you have no skin in the game. I don't. As long as it is unregulated, many will use it for hidden money transactions. Another lot will make money from those who have no clue. As the man said, one born every minute (2 born to take him).

Odd choice of word to enclose in quotes. Should have written:
I "invested" for fun.

Yes, the crypto shell game is falling apart, and it is wonderful to watch. Billionaires reduced to less than millionaires, literally overnight. 
|
|
|
|

The stock market nose dived pretty hard too.
They're either both shell games or neither is.

Precisely. If crypto is a con, so is money: they're both predicated on the same idea. My view of it is that money is a religion, whereas crypto is a cult. Thing is, though: that cult might as well be Christianity in 50 AD... it will end up being the dominant religion eventually, while money (the Roman pantheon) becomes something you learn about in history class.
