The 20% APY provided by Anchor was way above the average yields for safe DeFi lending. Which indicated that even among crypto users, this was considered a degen play!
The whole Terra saga was a typical example of speculative bubble. Everyone knew it was risky, but its sheer size and the caliber of people endorsing it (https://twitter.com/novogratz/status/1478535972560195585) was providing an aura of safety. Too big to fail.
It's also similar to the stock market as a whole before it started correcting. Everyone knew valuations were detached from every fundamental except liquidity, yet everyone went along thinking the music just had to keep going.

Every fundamental except liquidity - nice phrasing. It would be illuminating to see more analysis of liquidity in crypto markets and less purely technical analysis.
