It still feels like it's just beginning to me. I think we'll hit the peak of it come autumn

I think so because a lot of people thought they were safe with UST because it was suppose to be a stable coin. De peg mechanisms were suppose to be in place to prevent it from losing it's value. It was considered safe not to mention all the borrowing from Anchor protocal.

Yea overall market has crashed as hard yet. But those that lost with Luna/terra were probably hit harder than anything else before.

I think the fact the stock market is on the verge of crashing is making this one feel worse. In 2018 whn that crash happened i started my position in Apple because i thought "why am i spending bread on this fucking crypto which is now tanking when i could be spending on a quality company like Apple". This time though there is no alternative haven to grow your money. It feels like everything is on fire

Lmaooo. Reading up on Luna, and im sorry to folks who lost money but the shit seems stupid as fuck.
"UST and luna are linked. UST is dubbed an algorithmic stablecoin meaning its $1 peg is supposed to be governed by underlying code. That is fundamentally different to other stablecoins like tether and USDC which are backed by real-world assets such as bonds. UST has no real-world reserves."
Why put money in something that is supposed to be pegged to $1, that is supported by nothing but code?
Like the concept of crypto, at its base form, is that its worth what we all agree its worth.
Its a fake commodity which is valued off of what we all as a collective are willing to pay for it.
Its a gamble. Im deep in it hoping to make money.
But UST and Luna are supposed to be assets you invest in when you want to just have a place you put your money that will always = its value in USD, but your money is not in a bank.
How can anyone feel comfortable putting their money in something like that backed only by code? Its crazy

I don’t get any of this crypto stuff to be honest. I mean I get it for what it is, but not in relation to other currencies.
Currencies around the world are somewhat based on that country’s performance, whether economically, financially, politically, etc. Crypto has no such fundamentals other than the blockchain it’s written on. I guess you could assume another fundamental is the size of the black market where it’s exchanged for goods, but that’s all I can think of.

Chill. You’re 99.9% correct, tho. But Tether is trash as well. And if it fails, BTC is $0.01-$1.00…

Time to get back in, it's literally a cycle of up down then up again greater than the last time. Ain't get slaughtered if you ain't sell. Most of what i put in crypto i don't expect to touch for 5+ years. Took some profits tho

Nah this shit a Ponzi scheme. Only way to make money is to get more people to “invest” so you can cash out. Tell them to “buy the dip” meanwhile you selling. And if you ain’t one of the people doing the pump and dump, you’re the mark left “hodl”-ing the bag praying for more people to get in so you can cash out later after you learnt your lesson lol
Keep buying the dip on them amway tokens tho
