Lol. You sound like the drunk uncle at the barbeque.
Ponzi schemes are only obvious in hindsight. Some of what was listed was not initially a 'ponzi' scheme at all - it was operational failures due to lack of liquidity (Fed rate rises/QT) and the knock on impacts from that which led to massive counter-party risk, which then made founders look like scammers (as Buffet says - when the tide comes in, you can see who's swimming with no clothes). The only actual Ponzi was FTX - and even that would never have been found out for a ponzi if not for the macro environment and liquidity crunch. And obviously there is no guarantee in investing - that is like saying 'the sky is not the sea'. Captain obvious.
Luna shocked me but thank God I was never involved.
FTX and SBF were the biggest con job. The paid press releases. The endorsement from idiots that don't know crypto.
The guy met former presidents in track pants or clown shorts. Wtf?
Risk management needs to be equally applied across both top 20 and top 200 projects, and it's not at all the case that just because something is in the top 20, it is a better bet than something in the top 200, if that smaller cap has strong fundamentals, a good team, a working product, solid funding etc. That is the point.
You sound new.
