✅ $LUNA hits an ATH
✅ TVL hits an ATH
@stablekwon wants Terra to become the largest holder of #bitcoin after Satoshi

But what is beneath the price action and why does everyone want in? Let's explore 🧵 It's no secret that to take blockchain to the masses, complexity needs to be abstracted away into simplicity. And @terra_money has done that time and again.

We’re thrilled to announce that @LidoFinance for @solana just went live!
