Algorithmic stablecoin was vulnerable to being killed, and smart, wealthy people included didn't see it coming. This was a unique kind of asset.
Maybe stablecoins should be regulated, what is allowed to be called stablecoin, etc., but then there is regulatory capture for special interests as we see rampant, where for example by fiat, winners and losers are chosen, why bitcoin was created, the too big to fail.

I get it- blame the investor right? they knew it was a risk? I don't think so in this case.
The only person/people to blame is/are the investors., yes.
People need to be accountable and responsible for their own actions, especially in a situation like this. Recurring social-cultural themes.

The current financial system rewards though who are irresponsible. Oh the banks were irresponsible? shit out and print out more money and give it to those banks.
Oh the governments being irresponsible? Shit out and print out more money.
Oh a bank wants to loan someone money? Shit out and print out more money right now so they can.
Something like that, at some point has to give.

Tell that to people in Venezuela.
Or Lebanon.
Or any other country where their currency spontaneously lost 90%+ of its value.

Why would I do that? In Venezuela the US deliberately tanked their economy. In Lebanon they have decades worth of crisis.
Crypto has nothing to do with either and certainly isn't a force worth mentioning unless you are somehow invested in believing it is.

Not so much individuals, as in living, breathing persons, but rather those entities with status of personhood, i.e. corporations. Banks and nations are inclded in this category.
Some individual persons are rewarded, but they are often in the wealthy classes or know how to work the systems at play.
There is little actual "reward" for being financially responsible as a non-wealthy person.

The irresponsible thing for people to do was buy a house with 0 down just a few years ago. Now anyone who didn't and tried saving up and being responsible before taking on a huge responsibility is being punished.

I agree, but those people were only able to do that because banks/lenders enabled and encouraged them to do so.
Additionally, not all people were even eligible for those types of loans and agreements.

Being eligible for a 0 down home loan 3 to 6 years ago was easier than renting an apartment in a city ghetto today.

Thanks for reconfirming your holier than thou attitude.
Hopefully people in money matters will see how much of a scumbag you are.
