Alameda et al are in the process of sniping Celsius using a stETH/ETH depeg:

Read the thread. They can turn the screw on Celsius who will need to take emergency action to satisfy redemptions, it doesn't change the fact that stETH/ETH will return to peg eventually, but in the meantime the Curve pool could get depegged hard.

From what I see it's very different than LUNA situation. UST was backed by nothing or atleast less than would be required for a stable peg over time, and its LUNA-link made it at some point a guarantee that LUNA would go to zero.

stETH/ETH is very different - the stETH is just locked, and cannot be redeemed at the moment. Similar to a bank run, but with the difference that the Bank actually having enough deposits, the deposits are just not at the branch where everybody is withdrawing it from so it takes some time to move cash around.
If I were LUNA i would just make a maximum withdrawal for some time, let CEL take the beating as people fear it means bankrupcty but then as stETH gets unlocked over time you let people eventually withdraw their full ETH which should restore confidence in CEL.

So in a nutshell, LUNA was a solvency issue, CEL is just having a liquidity issue.

1) jews
2) that's literally their business model
3) another theory is that they are a proxy of other entities. Either way they have basically been given a green light to seek and destroy exploits in the crypto space. Part of me thinks they're conniving kike cunts who use their massive capital to create otherwise avoidable problems in the space and part of me thinks that they actually do a good thing by exposing/exploting weaknesses in the market which is going to force the next round of creators to be more diligent, prudent, and secure. Until these 'DeFi' companies start taking shit serious crypto is just one big ponzi scheme.

Correct. Even more, a depegged stETH/ETH means that you can essentially buy ETH at a discount with the stipulation that you won't be able to redeem 1:1 until the merge completes and you have to assume the usuals (merge is successful, Lido still around, etc.). It's a good opportunity if your goal is just to accumulate ETH long term.
