whether the collapse of UST could help Cosmos in the long run

what the legal implications of UST’s depeg will be

whether Terra was a fraud like Theranos

why Tarun thinks that investors should be sued for getting clients involved in Terra

why Tarun thinks regulators are against 24-hour trading

why Tarun thinks Matt Levine is a “boomer”
