once you've stolen all the beans how are you turning that back into real bux? are there people who would still be in the market to buy the beans?

from what I can tell the stolen beans were exchanged for as much of the base etherum currency as possible. it wasn't possible to convert all the beans, so the hackers abandoned the rest in a temporary account. converting ethereum into bux is presumably easier than random shitcoins

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no mechanism to permanently deny a proposal. they would have relied on obviously malicious proposals being unable to attract a majority forever, because that's ideologically comfortable

look in real life bank runs are bad because the banks don't physically have 1:1 every dollar that's in someone's bank account on hand

in real life bank runs were addressed by passing ~regulations~ establishing the FDIC, which effectively acts as run insurance

bitcoin has 3 uses:

-committing crimes directly (stealing coins, tax evasion)

-committing crimes indirectly (enabling crimes that would not be committed if profiting off them were harder)

-feeling smug about finding solutions to theoretical comp sci/info sci/econ problems with no practical application

why in the actual gently caress are they doing this if the price hit 0 and isn't moving?

the system was designed so when terra goes down in value, luna goes up in supply. automatically, with no human involvement or intervention possible

they didn't anticipate that terra would go down in value just about as far as it is possible to go down. the "mint luna" dial is nailed to the redline
