A new series of interviews with stablekwon seems designed to recuperate the Terra founder’s sullied image. If you’re looking for insights about the collapse of his stablecoin, you’ll have to keep digging, writes danielgkuhn. Opinion.

Kwon does assume responsibility for Terra’s failure. He said it was an outcome he never predicted, and that his overconfidence was “super irrational.” The project consumed his life. He named his daughter Luna, and said he’s working to make that a name of which she can be proud.

But it’s hard to say Kwon fully expresses guilt in the first episode, even when he assumes responsibility. He’s asked how he feels about a police raid as part of an investigation into Terra on the home of his former colleague Daniel Shin, with whom he founded the Chai payments network in Korea. Kwon has a “default answer.”

Even so, Terra’s failure seems like an expensive way to learn that “You cannot be emotional about markets, you can't blame people for shorting, you can't call people idiots for longing.”So far, the series has generated little buzz. The first part garnered a hair over 23,000 views on YouTube. And it seems like only a couple of hundred people were willing to pay the transaction fee to mint its associated non-fungible token to get into the Discord.

Guzman, too, was an investor in UST and LUNA, who lost out. He said in the interview that “a family friend” committed suicide after Terra’s collapse. There’s a long and drawn-out debate in crypto media about whether journalists should hold the assets they cover, considering the potential for bias or potential to significantly move these illiquid markets.

This man should be in jail.

He is fraud. That is what he is.

And you guys post a Pic of him smiling. Like mocking all his victims.

If you spell his name backwards it’s “Now Ko’d”. He knocked Blockchain out leading to a $2 Trillion dollar dumpathon. His parents are in on it too, they saw it coming & named him appropriately.😜

You don't care about people, you care about your own pocket, you are on behalf of the bankers😂😂😂👍👍👍💯

Your brother, if you are worried or afraid of crypto, don't buy coins, it is not mandatory, meanwhile, Tera Classic is completely out of the hands of Do Koan and is in the hands of the people.🤗🤗🤗

How this man is not behind bars defies all logic.

Could we make an itw with Madhoff too ?

Whatever happened in the past, now there are 2 coins. Classic, with new devs and a bigger community , and a new fork with the old team and VCs that lost money in $luna . Future is very bright for $LUNC 👍

the only thing that happened. is that Terra threw 500 billion dollars of coins into the markets again in 3 months and made a lot of money from it

and if you all believe you are going to be millionaires now . then since you but very funny people. the majority of you were not invested at all before and are now playing a funny role here

That was not an interview but an advertisement for him to look sympathetic. A real journalist would ask real questions that most want to know. Why not interview now by Bloomberg instead?

Prison, the only fair outcome

You steal a beer and chips you go to jail. You steal $45B you get a 2nd chance or 3rd chance to steal billions again.

Why isn't he sued into oblivion and living as a homeless guy in the streets or even better...in a prison cell?

paoloardoino, how about inviting Do Kwon to Plan B Forum in Lugano so that he tells the best crypto devs about his mistakes 😂

the face that launched a thousand liquidations

Gamblers love being f**k again & again by their master. Now you know why not many gave sympathy to those who lose their money in $LUNA

digitalassetbuy You'd think Gensler would wrap up the Ripple case and move on in order to better regulate crap like this. But then, his money changer handlers really don't want Ripple destroying everything they've built. The SEC has no shame. As long as their evil bosses are happy, they're good.

digitalassetbuy We see here that TERRA is centralised on Do Kwon. Will Lunatics reborn the project to be get named decentralised?

digitalassetbuy The disgraced ? He fuc.ed thousand of people direct in their face and stole their money and he is still free and very rich !! And disgraced ? 😮

digitalassetbuy Neloangelo314

Stop his voice because you never see your money back from luna crash

If he did that on the regulated market he'd be in prison now... Just saying...

Stop giving this scammer a fucking platform! Instead of interviewing him, his ass needs to be locked up for fraud!

a huge scammer behind the scenes

can't go back

People are like “how could this happen”? When it’s simple: Kids like Do Kwon are coding blockchains like it was a video game. No strong process including validation that you would have in banking or pharma industry. Yet people invest billions in these fragile constructs

digitalassetbuy If they stopp this I can no longer payy my rentss?

OMG, what a disgusting little man! Not only does he think what he did was totally OK, but that he's the victim! Whenever I meet anyone having any connection with Terra or Kwon, I turn around & run in the opposite direction as fast as I can. I have a strict No Do rule.

digitalassetbuy

antiprosynth Lock him the fuck up

WE WANT JUSTICE

He'll be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Why is he still free? This is the second time he screwed investors.

If he doesn't go to prison he will be a very lucky man.

Why is he not in jail?

do you understand the key point ? : He is still free and rich.

Scamer

Where is he? In rugpull paradise dubai? Where scammers go to relax and enjoy their swindling of other people's money

He's a thief. That baby face doesn't fool anyone.

Will there really be anyone who believes in his new projects?

You spelled the name wrong… he is DON Kwon 😅

Where’s all the Bitcoin he stole ?

Why is everybodyy keeping this a secret?
