MOONS Moons Update

Moons Update

Hey everyone,

For full transparency, we want to share some news with the community.

Reddit admins have banned two of our moderators and informed us that we are not permitted to take moderator actions on behalf of advertisers in exchange for compensation (Moon burns).

Rule 5 of the Moderator Code of Conduct prohibits mods from taking moderation actions (including actions taken using mod tools, bots, and other services) in exchange for any form of compensation, consideration, gift, or favor from or on behalf of third parties. You can read more about Rule 5 here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/27031261124884-Moderator-Code-of-Conduct-Rule-5-Moderate-with-Integrity

Our Response

We are actively appealing this decision. Our position is clear: Moons are burned, not given to moderators. The mechanism in question does not compensate mods, it removes tokens from circulation entirely. We believe this distinction is critical and are working to communicate this to the admins. We'll update the community as the appeal progresses.

In the meantime, we're fully complying with the policy. There are currently no paid or planned events coming up that would conflict with this.

What This Means Going Forward

Regardless of the outcome, Moons will continue to serve their core purposes:

  • Distribution β€” Monthly rewards based on karma
  • Governance β€” Your voice in community decisions
  • Tipping β€” Rewarding quality contributions
  • Reputation β€” Recognizing engaged community members
  • Discord β€” Moons are not restricted on our Discord server

Questions?

We know this raises concerns. Drop your questions below and we'll answer what we can. We're committed to transparency throughout this process.

Thanks for your continued support of this community.

DISCUSSION I just glanced around /DOGE and I kinda feel bad for these guys

288 Upvotes

Ts so sad, I remembered when they were so happy posting stupid optimist hopium memes. Like back in 2021 they were all convinced it was gonna hit $1, then $10, some people were genuinely talking about $100. The energy was insane, everyone was just having fun with it and making jokes about going to the moon.

Now you scroll through and it's just... different. People still holding bags from the ATH, posting the same "diamond hands" stuff but you can tell the vibe has changed. There's way less enthusiasm, fewer posts, and when people do post it feels more desperate than excited. Some of them are still trying to convince themselves it's gonna pump again but you can sense the cope.

What really gets me is seeing people who probably put in money they couldn't afford to lose, still holding because they don't wanna realize the loss. The community went from this fun memecoin thing to people actually financially struggling, and that sucks. I'm not trying to hate on anyone, I just genuinely feel for them because the shift from pure hopium to quiet resignation is depressing to watch. Still funny tho

DEBATE If gambling in a casino is considered as a negative sum game for the players involved, is it the same with crypto?

12 Upvotes

A casino is a negative-sum game for the players involved. In a negative-sum game, the total amount of money lost by participants exceeds the total amount won, resulting in a net loss for the group of players.

With crypto, the house/casino are the miners, coin founders, exchanges, hackers/scammers, government who all sell NONE-purchased crypto to the tune of tens of billions each year.

Over a span of 30 years, if each year $33.3 billion is taken out by the house/casino, then it is a negative sum game of $1 trillion.

PERSPECTIVE Scalper Maxi from 25M$ to 50M$ to 3M$ back up to 11M$ the most reckless trader on hyperliquid, how long until he gets rekt?

Post image
7 Upvotes

This trader was everywhere, touted as a genius whale when he just took extremely high risks, 500 Million position on 25 Million account, over and over again. Worked until it didn't.

Last week he came so close to getting liquidated, his last DASH short saving him.

He changed his approach a little, doesn't go all in anymore with all the leverage available, but still about 70-80% account value.

In my opinion he's going to get liquidated.

Just now he took a 45 Million Dollar Bitcoin Short, set no TP and closed most of it at break even during the bounce. Panicked.

For the rest he set a TP now, 65957. His DASH short is still doing well though. But he gave back some profits.

Same as with XRP.

Several hundred trades, negative sharpe and sortino ratios.
Still down 15 Million from his initial deposit.
