Not quite 20%, but I got slapped around on crypto Twitter by a blue check account for suggesting that supposed 15% returns were not risk-free. https://twitter.com/ErikVoorhees/status/1466802265956577283

Only a few months earlier in HN threads I read some comments saying that 10 to 13% interest rates on crypto are a good reason to invest in crypto.

I saw a finance TikTok of someone advertising how they were able to afford a $1M+ home by essentially having crypto interest cover payments. This video was taken down a few weeks ago (lol).

Were they also offering a simple 3 day training course to teach you how to do it, for only $999?

And that's only the first Google result that hasn't been unpublished in the meanwhile...

You’re kidding right? Anchor was famous for 20% APY - I know people who got very rich off this Ponzi.

Tons of alt coins offering triple digit APYs over the last few years.

Must not know any crypto punters. They were all in on this.
