Justin Sun’s $10 million pledge in USDD was in response to an earlier Tweet by Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin where he had suggested a ‘coordinated sympathy and relief for the average UST smallholder who got told something dumb about “20% interest rates on the US dollar” by an influencer, personal responsibility and SFYL for the wealthy.’
