About 5 seconds thought would be enough to see the risks, and the same goes for the rest of the crypto ecosystem. Even the name of UST is clearly meant to con people who confuse it with USDT. It's scams upon scams all the way down.

Even if your figures seem out of date, your argument against UST also holds for USDT (which underpins much of the crypto price bubble):

There is 7B USD in circulation and the market cap of US(D)T is 74 BILLION USD

All this perceived wealth is going to melt into air soon, and yes a bear market has already arrived.

You say this, possibly as someone who knows a lot about this stuff but there are plenty of people (including engineers) who don't know enough to refute the bold claims made by the crypto-evangelists and who be convinced that "obviously X is bad, but our product is completely different".

I personally have lots of misgivings about various crypto but I really don't have enough expertise to argue against someone telling me that I just don't understand and everything is fine.

So why is your default position that they are right and this is a new paradigm?

Surely the onus is on those promoting such schemes to convincingly explain their workings; if you can get 20% a year the explanation had better be good...

This is just the last resort of a scoundrel who knows they can’t explain their scam.
