>Synthetic stocks have arbitrage discounts/premiums that shouldn’t exist.

So somebody is making mad money from arbitraging them?

>Decentralized markets often cause the liquidity provider to lost value from “impermanent loss”

Someone's loss is someone's gain.

>The capital controls thing is a fairy tale. When was the last time someone accepted a ruble in exchange for any major crypto currency? If someone can but BTC with a dollar, why don’t they just evade the control with their dollars?

Please try sending money from China to the outside and report back.

>Major cryptos are all down 20%+ from their peak. That’s wild inflation.

You can do other things with assets than "buy and pray".
