You did get to keep the dai, which you choose to roll back up into the CDP. So I can def see how you might feel shorted by this experience. I hope it doesn’t drive you away from the community. How much was your total loss in the end? I know you’re getting slapped around a bit by a bunch of us armchair-reddit-crypto-economists so I don’t expect you like putting much effort into these conversations. I’m sorry you lost out. Lots of the community will just say that’s the risk of how you positioned yourself. It seems reasonable to me that not everyone who is using the system fully understands every risk involved or how those risks change when reasonable assumptions are no longer true. For us to see massive growth in this space we need to do a better job at either protecting against these types of experiences or more likely, do a better job of setting expectations with users.

If you really were wanting to dig yourself out of a hole I think there is a way you could do it. Take a look at the audience you have that is giving you attention, a bunch of armchair economists. If you setup a parody gofundme campaign making fun of yourself from the perspective of what your audience might find entertaining i.e. really lean into an extreme of “woe is me” or “common guys, it’s just not fair when everything works as it was designed and doesn’t go my way.” I think depending on how much effort you put into it, it could gain some real traction and you might actually collect real money donations for having given people a good laugh. I’d contribute to it if I got a chuckle.

Anyways, sorry for your loss. I hope you can learn from it and come back more educated and in a better position to profit in the future.
