If reddit plebs could win in GME, why not retail degens in LUNA?

I’ve seen it all, been in it all. Iron finance, anchor 20% on UST, tomb and tomb forks, defi kingdoms, ohm and its forks. Staking #JpegFi. Nothing lasts. Everything’s a ponzi that runs out of steam.

Nothing at that time fit the bill except Drip so even though it had a bad reputation of being a ponzi, I really didn’t have any choice.
