1/10 - My #Terra journey:

- in Oct 2020, was looking for a fundamentally strong project to validate in. based on a discussion with a crypto buddy that uses @SmartStake in multiple chains, started looking into Terra
- It was live for 16 months & starting as a validator is a no-no

2/10 - Seeing the fundamentals, the outward looking focus, decided to jump in & setup my validator
- Was a tiny community full of passionate folks Seb @NicholasFlamelX @kundunsan @Lu_It_Haeng Nacho, Aayush with firm belief that #Terra belongs @ #3 (after BTC & ETH)
- $Luna @ 0.30

3/10 - after remaining on the fringes for a bit, saw that community had questions about Luna supply changes ... more specifically, the reducing Luna supply and where it is going. Terra.smartstake.io was born to answer some of the questions

4/10 - Dec' 2020 bought 3 gifts from @d0h0k1 - @mirror_protocol was launched on 3rd Dec as a fair launch with lots of $MIR airdropped to $Luna stakers & $UNI holders. Event preceded by minting 70m+ $UST

1st dec - $UST - 17m, $Luna - 996m/$0.4

5/10 - 10th Dec - @BuzlinkO was announced as a referral program to boost #chai & payment use. It was an instant success as well.
In the meantime, $MIR was gaining usage steadily & $UST burning was increasing

6/10 - 17th Dec - @Mirror_Wallet app on mobile was released. Another instant success with a cool mobile app that allowed people to trade synthetics from their mobile devices. $100k UST trading competition helped as well

terra.smartstake.io has airdrop timer & apr stats

$0.5

7/10 - end of 2020 - by this time, #Lunatics was in full force. highlighting fundamentals, statistics, $MIR potential

$MIR gaining usage by the day
$UST demand and reach increasing
