Central banks stole too much money too fast from people and now those people who they stole from need to get fired from their jobs, spend less and have their assets devalued to curb inflation and balance out the rapid stealing. This is literally how modern monetary policy works.

So was it all just a leverage circle jerk? Walameda loans $500M to Royager at 5%, who loans it to Falaxy at 6%, who loans it to SchlockFi at 7%, who loans it to 4DC at 8%, who loans it to Zelcius at 9%, who puts it in Anchor?

TL;DR: not deploying more capital as stated, no bail-out, no recovery plan, and no mea culpa. After his mistakes blew up billions of dollars and destabilized the entire industry. Could at least acknowledge the mistakes.

I held off for some time disclosing our crypto holdings, but I think it’s about time we start letting you guys in on some of the things I have in my portfolio.
We got a chance to talk with Shark Kevin O’Leary (@kevinolearytv) and his current crypto portfolio. How close is your portfolio to his? buff.ly/3E26F5m

The beauty of doing nothing is that you can do it perfectly. Only when you do something is it almost impossible to do it without mistakes. Therefore people who are contributing nothing to society, except their constant criticisms, can feel both intellectually and morally superior
