favourite thing about this app is how tiny the pfp click box must be

cryptobanking

The 4 prices of money:

- Forex (Price vs. Other Monies)
- Interest rates (Time swaps of the asset)
- Price vs. Commodities (Price vs. stuff)
- Peg (Price vs. equivalents)

It's kind of noteworthy sUSD got this far without peg breaking when it's only backing is SNX.

This is a very good article by @AustinAdams10 on the failure of the $IRON peg way back in 2021 (a run that I recall watching in near real-time). https://t.co/CN6DfeLZS1
