If you're ever feeling down or angry at yourself about UST/LUNA, don't beat yourself up too much over it. It was highly sophisticated deception. A lot of brilliant minds fell for it. For example, Three Arrows Capital bought 10.9M locked LUNA for $559.6m - it's now worth $670.45.

It is speculative because there has never been a stablecoin of its kind that worked. There was no reason to assume this could not happen to UST. It had already depegged once before—all it took was someone/a group of people with enough funds to exploit a built-in mechanism.
