Columbus-5 is 48 hours away.

What does it mean in practice...

And what do you need to do before the update is live?

Urgent Thread: πŸ‘‡
If you think Col-5 is a simple @terra_money upgrade...

You are dead wrong.

The implications from its development are about to shake the whole ecosystem...

And affect all $LUNA'tics lives.

Here's the good, the bad and the ugly...

And how YOU need to prepare today:
I will break this thread into 5 major points.

Each of them are about to immediately affect you after Col-5:

1. Seigniorage burning (and what it means to your wallet)
2. Staking rewards upgrade
3. The Stargate opportunity
4. Wormhole and $LUNA adoption
5. Ozone protocol
#1. Seigniorage Burning.

You probably know minting $UST requires burning an equal dollar amount of $LUNA.

This process is called seigniorage.

Previously, a chunk of it would land the community pool used for oracle rewards...

Yet, this will forever change in just 48 hours:
After Columbus-5, the community pool will be totally burned.

This means one thing:

$LUNA deflating.

Price goes up.

Does it mean you should buy more $LUNA?

That's up to you.

Yet one thing is certain:

This historically low price probably won't be ever back.

There's more:
#2. Staking rewards upgrade.

It's no secret recent rise in $LUNA prices have lowered staking yields.

Yet, after Col-5, swap fees will start producing dividends instead of burning them.

In practice it means:

~2% less burn happening...

And staking yield increase above 10%.
Can you see already why $LUNA will go on a parabolic price raise after Col-5?

Here's another quick reason:

Col- 5 also means a huge amount of protocols launching at the same time.

Some of them are:
@mars_protocol
@orion_money
@astroport_fi
@nebula_protocol
@NexusProtocol
@prism_protocol
@staderlabs
@WhiteWhaleTerra
@Levana_protocol

Many of these protocols don't have an exact launch date.

But trust me on this alpha...

Most of them are scheduled right after Col-5.

NextπŸ‘‡
#3. The Stargate opportunity

Need another reason why $LUNA is about to explode?

With Col-5, #Terra will adopt the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).

What does it mean in practice?

Since Terra is built on @cosmos...

This will enable something never seen before:
Integrations.

Many, many integrations.

And also TONS of new users.

Just imagine Terra dapps connecting to projects like @osmosiszone or @SecretNetwork...

And btw...

Remember this?

See, IBC enables Cosmos SDK based blockchains (zones) talk to each other.

In practice this means token transfers and multi-chain smart contracts.

Guess who got the only decentralized stable coin?

As @sungjae_han put it, this enables massive adoption:

Sounds like lots of news?

Let's recap before we move on:

1. Seigniorage burning = $LUNA πŸš€
2. Staking rewards upgrade = $LUNA πŸš€
3. Massive launches = adoption = $LUNA πŸš€
4. Stargate Upgrade = even more adoption = $LUNA πŸš€

But wait.

There's more:
#4. Wormhole and $LUNA adoption

This is another topic so many #LUNAtics don't fully understand.

Ever heard of $wUST pools on @solana?

How in the world did our beloved $UST got "wrapped" to reach those far lands?
This happens because LUNA has a long travel to reach @solana.

First, it has to cross a bridge from Terra to @ethereum.

Next, there's another bridge from @ethereum to @solana...

This long and inefficient travel gives us "wrapped" UST.

Can you see where we can cut some road?
See, Wormhole is that bridge we've been waiting for so long.

No more long trips through Ethereum...

No more hassle.

This means only one thing:

Even more adoption along with a smooth flow between the two ecosystems.

#5. Ozone protocol.

Finally, we have this "little" project called Ozone.

As @FreyaJane89 put it:

It's "the first decentralised insurance system which uses covered vaults to protect depositors"

Sounds cool?

Now think what it really means to Terra...

Can you imagine how this will increase investors trust in Terra protocols?

More and more people will feel safe of technical failure risks.

And the already proved dapps on Terra will be exposed to...

Guess what?

A MASSIVE adoption.

So now you have it:
Be ready for something big.

Seriously.

Terra is about to expand like never before.

So, what should you do?

As a dumb ape I am, I would never give you financial advice.

So if you don't invest into more $LUNA...

It's totally your call.

Be ready though:
Maybe, when you look back at this thread...

Just maybe...

You'll go something like:

"Crap, I should of done that call"

Oh, and by the way, remember what my good buddy @TheMoonMidas warned:

Do not use any services during upgrade.

The picture you see below is a 1931 soviet bond.

It was issued for accomplishing a 5 year plan in just 4 years...

This bond promises dividends that never came.

The weirdest part?

This is what it can teach us about what's about to happen to the @terra_money ecosystem: πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
When I was about 9, my father told me this heartbreaking story:

It was all about his own granddad.

He said that before dying, he'd handle him a bunch of old, almost faded papers.

These post-revolution bonds were given to the red army officers.

And you know what happened?
My great grandfather died thinking he gave my father a bright future.

A future he'd paid for with his own blood.

In reality, it was a just a pile of worthless papers.

My young father just couldn't tell him the truth...

So it all ended there.

Why am I telling you this? πŸ‘‡

Science- based (n.f.a.) January 2022 $LUNA price prediction.

So we've seen a huge dip in the market.. (@terra_money included)

Since then, its price never scaled above $8.

But could it reach $55 by the end of the year?

Long threadπŸ‘‡
First of, ask yourself this:

Why today's price is only $5 after reaching $22?

Have $LUNA fundamentals changed?

Was there an essential flaw?

Or is it just the result of a bearish panic?

As @NicolasFlamelX puts it:



Yet, there's a bigger paradox:
Recently, @SenthilThuva found the following:

$LUNA used to trade at a 3x UST market cap.

But today, it's at a not justified 1.3x.

Meanwhile, UST market cap only declined by 9% since the last crash.



Weird, is it?

How could this happened?
