The collapse of LUNA has revealed a cruel truth: many people who are highly regarded online actually lack strong intelligence and judgment.

It's ironic to think—those with substantial wealth, top-tier venture capital firms, and large funds have all been proven wrong. These players, who should be the best at risk recognition, ultimately got caught in the crossfire.

I previously discussed the logic behind LUNA's collapse with industry friends, and the conclusion was straightforward: this scam didn't involve any technical complexity. The problem is that even the smartest money can be hijacked by greed, and information asymmetry and herd mentality are enough to destroy rational decision-making. Essentially, this incident exposes that in the entire ecosystem, even the biggest titles can fail in the face of a black swan.

To be honest, the LUNA incident really exposed everyone's shameful secrets; even top-tier venture capitalists are just paper tigers in the face of greed. Information asymmetry truly kills; no matter how smart the mind, it can't withstand a collective frenzy.

Basically, greed has eaten your brain; even the smartest people can't resist this. Having a large team size actually makes responses slower, which is quite ironic. Venture capitalists' crash this time was indeed satisfying, but next time they'll still fall into the same trap. Information asymmetry is the key; with information, you can make money; without it, you're just waiting to be cut. Once the herd effect starts, it can't be stopped. Rationality is a luxury too expensive to afford. It's all about greed; no matter how strong your cognition is, it can't withstand desire. In the face of black swan events, everyone is equal; fame can even make things worse.

Haha, you're right, greed really is an IQ tax. Even the big players get caught in the crossfire, that's the show I love to watch the most. No matter how smart the money is, it still has to kneel when faced with FOMO. There's really nothing that can be done.

tbh the luna collapse really just proved what i've been saying—if you actually analyze the transaction data and mempool patterns, the math was never adding up. mathematically superior analysis would've flagged the arbitrage exploits immediately. but nah, people got blinded by hype instead of doing proper gas-efficient due diligence on the underlying mechanics

Really, greed is more deadly than technical vulnerabilities... Watching those big shots fall flat is quite satisfying. --- In simple terms, the information gap kills everyone; no matter how smart, it can't be saved. --- Everyone is equal in the face of black swans, and I really understand that now. --- A scam with no technical content actually deceived the entire community. Just thinking about it is ironic. --- The herd effect is too terrifying; rationality means nothing in front of it. --- No matter how high your net worth is, it can't stop a single word of greed. The Luna lesson was bloodily learned. --- So, at the root of it all, greed kills judgment; no one can escape.
