The community is deciding on a new @terra_money , between restoring a snapshot prior to attack, removing TFL, fully collateralizing UST and drafting & deliberating new mechanisms for $LUNA. We must salvage the remaining value in the ecosystem & community and rebuild the right way

Status update: a grassroots movement from a consortium of @terra_money developers is rallying support for restoring the ecosystem & L1, This time with actual decentralized ownership by its users, not TFL. If you're a Terra developer interested in joining the movement, DM me.

I just realized @terra_money v2 is NOT a "fork". It's a brand new network, with fresh state, no market, treasury, oracle modules and WASM state. Terra Classic will probably burn $LUNC, and the rebirthed Terra provides a positive future for $LUNA.

The $USTC repeg is the first time something like this at this scale has ever been attempted by a community. Like $LUNC, once the communal effort to repeg $USTC makes progress / momentum that defy the odds and surprises all the non-believers, everybody will want to join in.

The biggest challenge $LUNC will have to face in the following months is clarifying the incentives. Who are the $LUNC whales? Who controls the network? I would imagine it hard to attract projects to build on Terra Classic until the rebels figure out who they're working for.

If it shrinks by 99.99% it needs to grow by 1000000%. Let's be realistic, this isn't going to happen. The only way back to a proper ecosystem of 3rd party apps for @terra_money developers to rebuild, as the old platform is irrecoverably damaged & suffers from structural defects.

Many people implicitly assume that if a number shrinks by x%, it has to grow x% to get back to its old value. That's not far off for small x. A number that shrinks by 10% only has to grow about 11.1%. But a number that shrinks by 75% has to grow 300%.
