6 reasons why $LUNA is growing against all odds…

(while the rest of the market is in red)

🧵👇
Before you dive into the reasons, remember some Terra basics:

In order to mint $UST, the equivalent in $LUNA has to be burned.

In other words:

The more use cases and adoption of UST, the more minting pressure on $LUNA.

Now that you have the context, let's dive in:
Reason #1:

Thanks to IBC and Col-5, @cosmos blockchains can access Terra assets.

@osmosiszone was the first to adopt $UST and $LUNA to their incentive pool…

And the opportunities started spreading like wildfire.

For example:
@sifchain welcomed Terra with open arms.

They made $UST and $LUNA available on SifDEX, and Sif's bonus pools.

They also introduced 5 "Pools of the People" (UST included)

The crazy part?

LPs would get an insane 300% APR in there:

Reason #2:

@SecretNetwork brought $UST and $LUNA to their ecosystem, too.

In turn…

Terra added $3M worth of $LUNA for Secret's $UST Liquidity Mining incentives.

Additional incentives were announced for $sUST pools on @secret_swap.

Reason #3:

@JunoSwapDEX launched JunoSwap's V1 with two liquidity pools:

JUNO <> ATOM..

And JUNO <> UST.

According to their announcement:

"These are critical for building a healthy market and onboarding more users to Juno."

Can you already see where @terra_money's strength is?

It's all about MASSIVE adoption.

The more use cases for UST...

The more buying pressure is on LUNA.

As a result: we are soon to land the 🌖.

Judge by yourself:
Reason #4:

Wormhole is also taking $UST adoption to the moon.

It bridged huge networks like:

- @ethereum.
- @solana
- @0xPolygon
- Etc.

For example:
Today, $ETH holders can earn interest on $UST deposits.

You can provide liquidity in @CurveFinance's UST <> MIN pool.

And in addition to a ton of $SPELL tokens...

You stand a chance to earn $1M in LUNA incentives.

On top of that:
$MATIC and $SOL holders push LUNA, too.

On Polygon, UST has arrived on popular DEXs like:

- @_DFyn
- @QuickswapDEX
- @DinoSwapHQ

SOL holders can get their hands on UST via:

- @MercurialFi
- @Aldrin_Exchange
- @Saber_HQ
- @portal_finance

That's not all:
Reason #5:

UST and LUNA have entered play-to-earn space as well.

@DefiKingdoms has enabled the UST <> LUNA pair for farming.

Which means:

Now you can play and farm precious LUNA at the same time.

Yet the biggest accomplishment is:
Reason #6:

UST is also available on @PancakeSwap and @planet_finance.

Also, have you heard the news?

From not so long ago, it can be also bridged to Fantom using @AnyswapNetwrk.

Check it out here:

The main take?

UST adoption is skyrocketing like never before.

It's reaching the hands of thousands of folks...

And they'll all be landing Terra soon.

This can only be good for us.

More demand = More buying pressure

How to "forecast" token price variations based on social sentiment?

A.K.A: Picking the right tokens without tech skills and using alternative tools.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: 👇 Image
Have you noticed?

Some people manage to pick the right projects with no tech skills at all.

How is that even possible?

Meet social sentiment.

An alternative way to analyze projects and ecosystems, pick tokens and even "forecast" price variations.

Here’s how:
It’s no secret:

Token price variations don’t only respond to tokenomics and fundamentals.

Quite the contrary:

Most of the time, it’s the market mood that moves the needle the most.

Even in spite of fundamentals!

So how do you measure that?

How to protect your digital assets from hackers:

Step-by-step guide: 👇
It was a usual morning on Dec 2, 2021...

That day, thousands of folks found their wallets drained off their precious crypto.

Someone had stolen $120M by hacking a DeFi website.

After some tracking, PeckShield Inc found the stolen booty:

The question is:

How did the hackers manage to steal all of this?

Did someone leak a list of private keys?

Was it due to some accident by an unassuming crypto enthusiast?

The answer is:

None of the above.

Instead, what happened was a totally wicked thing...

How much gas fees would you waste if you manually compounded your staking yield?

Here's some quick math: 👇
There's no doubt that compounded yield is the easiest and quickest way to boost your staking rewards.

Just claim your rewards...

Restake...

And enjoy constantly growing layers of yield.

In other words:

The more you restake = the more you make.

The only caveat?
Claiming rewards costs gas fees.

You see, there are 3 types of them, and all add on top of each other:

- Claiming rewards
- Swapping stables
- Restaking Luna

Also, gas fees depend on frequency of compounding and number of validators staked.

Here's a quick calculation:

Did you know that from now on, $UST can earn you yield outside of @terra_money?

Here's how: 👇 Image
Before we start, remember one thing:

By itself, $UST is not an interest-bearing token.

It can’t earn you anything on top of it alone.

Yet, things completely change with a powerhouse like @anchor_protocol.

The problem is, it wasn’t available outside of Terra.

Not anymore....
Abracadabra (@MIM_Spell) recently enabled $UST deposits on their platform.

Who are they and what do they do?

They are a lending platform...

Where you can borrow funds using stable coins as collateral.

So, how does $UST earn you yield in there?

Is your $LUNA in safe hands when you stake?

Here are the top 2 dangers that can affect your staking yield 👇👇 Image
Danger #1: Slashing Risk

It happens when validators commit two key misbehaviors:

First is 'Downtime'

It means that a validator is unavailable to sign transactions for a certain period of time…

Which is around 17.7 hours.

The penalty for you and the validator?
The validator loses 0.01% of their stake.

It could also be possibly 'jailed' for some time (It won’t participate in consensus).

What about you?

You'll simply lose all your rewards for the period.

The next one is too severe to be overlooked:
