Yes, billion of UST will be burned, and LUNA will be diluted significantly. Nevertheless, there are no limit in LUNA supply, this market mechanism will actually work to bring stable UST and stable LUNA price (although likely at lower price point for LUNA).

so I haven't paid a ton of attention to crypto in years, but I thought the whole thing with this nonsense was that unlike, say, United States dollars, these things have value because there's a limited supply.

i still think about that from time to time. i'm still amazed at the fact that i apparently read more documentation and have a better understanding of AWS than the people running something ostensibly worth multiple millions, and the only thing i've ever actually done in AWS is setup a locked down centos instance i use as a private git repo and an offsite backup for important documents

newcomers to crypto missed some absolutely incredible things

the entire bitcoin market infrastructure was people too young and too stupid to know better, who bought into the stupid SV startup myth and believed they could run a multi-million dollar financial service from their parent's basement.

goddamn the lols were so good

raising some 40k to redo the bitcointalk forums, that were going to be perfect from day one because needing to test beta software meant you had hosed up

bitcoiners trying to mansplain bitcoin to sex workers and getting completely owned

So should I buy some Luna? Is Terra attached to one of those exchanges that will just wave their hands and do a billion wash trades and have the price right back up in 3 months?

well, people were buying MtGOX bitcoins for pennies on the dollar in the hope that they would eventually be recovered.

I mean, none of them got a dime, but maybe you'll buck the trend.

I work on fraud detection software and one of our long term goals is attempting to detect fraud in crypto and without joking I asked how we would ever distinguish between the two

it’s easy, they’ll call it fraudchain or ponzicoin (that one was real I believe) and then do exactly what was advertised.

Guys, I think you've bee missing something really important. The Lightning Network means bitcoin can now process 40 million transactions per second*!

https://twitter.com/Blockstream/status/1502115599874359297

*Actually 500 transactions per second in each of the 80,000 channels** that are currently on the network.

**No, there is no guarantee that the existing channels will be able to route between you and the place where you want to conduct your transaction.

Bitcoin circular economy is a bit on the nose, no?
