Episode notes

We've seen a lot of these different algo stable coins before in the past, and they're all kind of equivalent. So that's where we got this idea: This this luna us t mechanism is basically the exact same thing as all these other coins in the past that have not done super well with solvency and maintaining stability. We actually did make a veryia, fairly profitable play n which was very instructive in teaching us about how to even trade these kinds of things.

Last week, $60B in value was wiped from crypto in a few days.

Not many saw the collapse of Luna coming - even fewer had the guts to bet on it.

Since the start of the year, Galois Capital has been openly calling out for the impending fall of Luna and endured the barrage of hate comments until 8th May 2022 - the day that Luna started death spiraling. Kevin Zhou from Galois Capital shares with us:

Why he was convinced LUNA would implode
How he timed his short trade
The 4 high conviction trades Galois has taken
How Terra Luna can recover - and why its current plan doesn't work
