WEB3_EMPIREYou Could've Been Do Kwon
Run a crypto empire, make the decisions that made history infamous, and see if you'd have done any different.
You've been watching from the sidelines
You watched Luna collapse and thought 'I could've done worse'
Every crypto disaster has a protagonist — why not you?
No real money lost, just your dignity
Choose your villain
Three archetypes. Three paths to glory, infamy, or federal indictment. How you run the empire is up to you.
THE EXCHANGE CEO
List the coins. Lend the deposits. Fly the jet. Survive the audit — or don't.
THE WEB3 FOUNDER
Write the whitepaper. Ship the token. Pray the peg holds. Tweet through it.
THE VC PARTNER
Back the founder. Draft the thesis. Dump on retail. Write the post-mortem.
The dramas you'll navigate
Every event in the game is ripped from real crypto history. You'll sit in the chair when it happens. You'll make the call. History may or may not repeat.
FTX: The $8B Hole
Customer funds vanish overnight. Alameda eats the balance sheet. You're in the penthouse in the Bahamas — what do you tweet?
Luna / UST Depeg
The algorithmic stablecoin that wasn't. $40B evaporates in 72 hours. You designed the peg — do you flip the kill switch or tweet 'steady lads'?
3AC Liquidation
You borrowed $10B on a vibe. The market disagrees. Su and Kyle ghost the group chat — what's your exit?
Celsius Freeze
Yields that couldn't exist, backstops that didn't. You pause withdrawals on a Sunday night. The forum is on fire.
Your empire.
Your rules.
Your rug.
Relive the most chaotic moments in crypto history from the villain's chair
