I’ve mentioned it before in this thread but actual big financial accounting is anathema to the idea of an immutable ledger because there’s this thing called “reconciliation” that is literally fixing the inevitable quirks and post-deal changes that happen with any system that deals in money, time and people

there was never a risk of blockchain replacing anything important and only people who didn’t know how the world really works [or were conveniently ignoring it in pursuit of a big payday] ever thought it was a good idea

Do Kwon posted:

The Terra community must reconstitute the chain to preserve the community and the developer ecosystem.

Validators should reset the network ownership to 1B tokens, distributed among:

  • 400M (40%) to Luna holders before the depegging event (last $1 tick before the depeg on Binance should be reasonable), bLuna, LunaX and Luna held in contracts should also be recipients, minus the Terraform Labs account at terra1dp0taj85ruc299rkdvzp4z5pfg6z6swaed74e6. The new chain should be community owned. Preserving decent ownership of the network in its strongest believers and builders is important.
  • 400M (40%) to UST holders pro-rata at the time of the new network upgrade. UST holders need to be made whole as much as possible
  • 100M (10%) to Luna holders at the final moment of the chain halt – last minute marginal luna buyers should be compensated for their role in attempting to provide stability for the network
  • 100M (10%) to the Community Pool to fund future development.
  • All Luna besides the third tranche should be staked at the network genesis state.
  • The network should incentivize its security with a reasonable inflation rate, say 7%, as fees will no longer be enough to pay for security without the swap fees.

seriously i'm not understanding how "restore it to right before the death spiral" doesn't inevitably lead to the death spiral because they have not changed anything that actually caused it

i guess with tortured bitcoiner logic it makes a certain kind of sense if you genuinely believe there was some sort of "attack", but since that's horseshit and the algorithm was basically designed to fail in this precise way, it's not gonna work

just because most of the crypto ecosystem is built on scams doesn't mean they all are! by the way i've been taking these vitamins and zinc, and now i can lift an entire house, with my brain. wouldn't you like to be psychic too? when mercury is in retrograde my powers are at its maximum, because the molecules in my homeopathic slurp juice are in alignment. don't forget to like and subscribe!

Twitter gets liquidated damages to the tune of $1 billion, so that's absolutely worth the hassle. The real calculus is whether they try to force the deal to close regardless at $54, or if they think any renegotiated deal would be less valuable than taking the billion and running, minus legal costs. A lot would depend on what price target Musk would have in mind in such a scenario, a few dollars hair cut but still above 50 would be a no brainer "Yes, let's still do it," because Twitter isn't really worth $50. Below that and you might get into a bunch of shareholder suits, though there is one pending right now because a pension fund in Florida thinks the board is under-valuating it.

Worth more than $50? What planet are they living on? Ah, Florida
