To be fair, the collapse of an algorithmic stablecoin is no surprise ;)

I can tell you right now that there is absolutely no safe yield in crypto currently that goes beyond 4% on a “safe” stablecoin like USDC. For truly safe (as in, huge value locked, never been hacked), the yield is more like 1.5-2%

All the high yield is in algoponzis or new protocols that carry massive protocol risk

There is absolutely no safe crypto. Full stop.

There is also no safe stock, right?

(No need to list the differences between stocks and cryptocurrencies.)

Eh, there are CeFi lenders like BlockFi/Gemini offering 7%. It's not zero risk, but the loans are partly collateralized and the borrowers are institutional entities who aren't your everyday scammer. It's better than unsecured corporate bonds in my view.

15% interest? No, surprises!
