here's what I just posted about DeFi protocol Compound, in today's newsletter Just as crypto is the history of financial scams on fast forward, Decentralised Finance is the history of crypto scams on fast forward — first as farce, then as bigger farce. How DeFi works: * Yield farmers on the Compound protocol — who get COMP tokens for making transactions — are manipulating the USDT market on Compound to generate COMP for themselves, because they can. * The crypto venture capitalists who control the “decentralised” Compound protocol — most prominently Andreesen Horowitz and Robert Leshner, the CEO of Compound — are twiddling the reserve percentage, because they can. [Compound] * They aren’t bothering to fix the actual broken USDT market, because they don’t have to. * $COMP is being listed on Coinbase tomorrow — Andreesen Horowitz were Coinbase investors, and Coinbase are Compound investors — and I’d just like you to picture the dump after this pump. [Coinbase blog] The purpose seems to be to skim dimes from suckers, and funnel them to Andreesen Horowitz. If you ever wonder “why did COMP think X was a good idea,” that’s the answer. Crypto fans look forward to luring fresh suckers into crypto by talking up the unfeasible interest rates on DeFi — “much like the ICO bubble.” It is difficult to overstate how laughably illegal it would be to run an “investment” market in this manner outside crypto — or inside crypto, if the SEC ever notices. This makes the Telegram ICO scam look defensible. Gosh, this poker table seems completely devoid of suckers! https://twitter.com/tonysheng/status/1274393189231689728 also, I'd like to introduce DeFi Karen, my new favourite twitter https://twitter.com/defikaren/status/1274579738074460160

first you lose all your money when the actual security falls through the floor then you lose all your money when the exchange holding your security gets "hacked" trying to make up for lost time you invest in similar securities that are the same except the serial numbers are filed off, and lose all your money then you lose all your money for a fourth time when you keep to the original security by do it via shady operators on ridiculous margins finally a derivative of the secondary token you're trying to trade is designed to efficiently pump money right from your wallet into theirs thus is the apotheosis of the financial markets as experienced by the retail side is realized

In my defence 1) I hadn't had any coffee yet 2) the rest of his twitter is pro-blockchain/extremely tedious tech stuff 3) butt coin.

Wirecard is not a cryptocurrency firm as such but does provide debit card solutions to crypto companies seems they borrowed $2bn and have been steadily building up the funds to pay it back this month and whoops, where'd the money go??? quote:Wirecard AG's auditor Ernst & Young GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, informed Wirecard AG that no sufficient audit evidence could be obtained so far of cash balances on trust accounts to be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements in the amount of EUR 1.9 billion (approximately a quarter of the consolidated balance sheet total).
