As a CMU-trained quant who built ETH’s most precise volatility model (78.3% accuracy), I’ve watched three exchange collapses unfold in real-time. This isn’t speculation—it’s code that survived 300+ backtests. Here, the data doesn’t lie: AST’s swing wasn’t random, it was systemic. I don’t care about your FOMO memes. I care about the arithmetic that killed your portfolio.
