As I post on many threads, I have barely heard a single story about retail losing money on FTX, whereas I personally knew a handful who lost money with LUNA. I assume institutions are holding the vast majority of the bags here.



common joke amongst ct natives is that left curves got rekt in luna, while right curves got rekt in ftx. interesting to see it commonly admitted by corresponding market participants


Fascinatingly cryptic comment. My best guesses don’t map to anything intelligible. Connecticut natives? Left curve of the what exactly?


CT = Crypto Twitter, and it's referencing the midwit meme [1] [2].

Not sure if you are being sarcastic but I will post my guesses:

ct => crypto traders

left and right => each person political leaning tendency


Think it's left/right of the bell curve (as in the meme), i.e. dumb money (retail) vs. smart money (industry).


That does make sense, but I’m oddly reluctant to give up on the mental image of a Connecticut locker room where crypto investment preferences are revealed by the individual curve direction.


What are "ct natives", "left curves" and "right curves"?


I interpreted left/right to be corresponding curves of wealth distribution.
