„BlockFi“ bankroto pareiškimas sukelia įvairias bendruomenės reakcijas

As crypto lending platform „BlockFi“ iškėlė bankroto bylą, members of the crypto community reacted with mixed feedback as another platform fell during the current bear market. 

Despite BlockFi citing the FTX contagion as the reason for its bankruptcy filing, podcaster Matt Odell pointed out a different explanation. Odell rašė that the lending platform went bankrupt because it was lending customer funds to high-risk traders who played with leverage recklessly. “This is a tale as old as Bitcoin, leverage kills, and trusted third parties are security holes,” he pridėta.

In a tweet, Mario Nawfal pabrėžė that BlockFi’s bankruptcy filing was something that many members of the community anticipated. According to Nawfal, the bankruptcy filing marks the end of an era for the lending and yield-earning platform that was able to barely hang on after the Voyager and Celsius debacles.

With many losing funds during the process, some pointed their pitchforks to entrepreneur and podcaster Anthony Pompliano who introduced them to the lending platform. A Twitter user teigė, that they lost most of their savings after listening to Pompliano’s podcast that recommended BlockFi.

Dar vienas bendruomenės narys teigė, that they diversified their portfolio by putting some funds in FTX, BlockFi and Bitcoin (BTC) which Pompliano recommended. They noted that two out of the three have already gone to zero.

ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees also reacted to information coming out that the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) is one of the creditors for BlockFi. Voorhees plaukė the idea of the SEC returning $70 million that they took from BlockFi in order to help the users that they should be protecting.
