Its market cap last week was 18 billion, and it'll probably reach 0 in a day or two

Its complementary coin, TerraLuna, which can usually be exchanged for Terra, is down 97%

    i hate crypto as much as the next guy but i cant help but feel bad for a lot of the victims of the scam. being tricked by con artists isnt a moral failing.

    the finance bros pushing it can go to hell though,

      If you're in deep enough to know what the fuck a terracoin is, you deserve this 100% and there is no saving you, lmao.

        Eh, Terra involved a lot more "normal" people than you think. This isn't straight PvP like a normal rug pull, or something like Bored Apes where it costs 100 grand to enter so only rich assholes are involved. The "Anchor" protocol on Terra sucked a lot of people in with promises of 10-20% "stable" returns. That's very different from something like the Wonderland/Time ponzi, where it was run literally on "magic internet money" and for "frog nation", i.e. people in on the joke. This UST/Luna shit will sink a lot of ordinary people, and probably some hedge funds too which could cause contagion.

            I'm too internet poisoned (been following/laughing at this shit for like a decade, it keeps on giving), but point is there's a lot of people who thought they were getting a savings account, not just crypto bros.

      The latest ep of Citations Needed had a good analysis of crypto that describes it similar to gambling, as a regressive tax on the poor
