This tweet: https://twitter.com/rarecandyio/status/1521548615579226114 and then the voice actor of master shake from ATHF recorded it and someone put it to frames: https://twitter.com/JuiceSimpsons/status/1523551892432953345 i think that's like literally all there was on it, just endless copypasta Sniep fucked around with this message at 21:47 on May 15, 2022 |

apparently there are two nfts called astro apes? so confusing there's one on that opensea place but the slurpable apes are on a separate site called rarecandy, which is the twitter that posted the original tweet that site also has lovely nfts like this

I work on fraud detection software and one of our long term goals is attempting to detect fraud in crypto and without joking I asked how we would ever distinguish between the two

from what i can tell it wasn't a unique concept, if you've seen the bored apes that look diseased and rotting, those are the mutant apes that are created by converting a bored ape in to a mutant i believe, and in the process burn the original ape, it's just this twitter, which seems to be the one for the site that hosts the apes, misunderstood the mechanics, instead thinking you could make an infinite number of new apes from the original apes as long as you had sufficient slurp juice. this is all so stupid

Man, the videos from the crypto-gurus about terra/luna are something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pw-yE8pQsQ "I say, lets put pressure on the Luna foundation to give us *their* money". .. and then proceeds to explain goddamn crypto-socialism for the crypto-poor as the way to solve the issue.

i don't know if "ponzicoin" was real, but i definitely remember some investment scheme billing itself as an "honest ponzi" where the idea was that you, as a very smart investor, would obviously be one of the first people to discover this opportunity and sign up ahead of everyone else, and not be one of the idiot bagholder, so it was basically huge guaranteed returns

Yeah there is a large overlap between “crypto is a good idea” and “why should ponzi schemes be illegal anyway”

Remember PirateAt40? He had the largest bitcoin ponzi ever (with something like 10% of all active butts invested on it) and I just checked its numbers and they look so quaint today. 7% ROI 40 million in losses. For handling 732,000 butts.

# ? May 16, 2022 00:54 |

iirc several early bitcoin ponzi schemes were so badly implemented that the scheme runner ended up losing money on the deal (they mistimed the cut-and-run part and ended up going bust along with the ponzi)

# ? May 16, 2022 00:57 |

ah the halcyon days when 7% compound interest felt like the most ridiculously obvious scam ever, nowadays people won't even buy in if they aren't promised quadruple digit percent increases
|
# ? May 16, 2022 00:57 |

but wasn't it like 7% per week or month, which quickly becomes stupidly large anyway edit: 7% per week yes, so an APY of 3372%

I’m enjoying this little footnote. A tiny lending agency that was using some external tracker to do its exchange rate did not know that the exchange rate service would stop updating if Luna fell below $0.10. Which it did, allowing people to deposit worthless Luna and pull out other (not yet worthless) assets as if Luna was still worth $0.10. https://medium.com/@blizzfinance/blizz-finance-post-mortem-2425a33fe28b quote:On Thursday May 12, abnormal volatility in the price of LUNA triggered Chainlink’s minimum price circuit breaker. The oracle stopped updating with a final price of $0.10. Around the time we became aware of the issue it was reported on twitter, and already being actively exploited by multiple addresses. Large amounts of LUNA were deposited and used to drain all available lendable assets. quote:Blizz has no treasury or development fund and a significant portion of the stolen assets belonged to our team. As such we regret to announce the protocol has been paused and we do not intend to resume operations.
