4 years ago on 12 May, 2022, crypto witnessed one of its darkest bloodbaths… the $LUNA apocalypse 🌋💥
On 12th May 2022, LUNA — once a top 10 giant worth $119 per coin — collapsed to almost ZERO in days, vaporizing over $60 BILLION 💸
Its “stable” partner USTC was supposed to stay at 1$ through an algorithmic mint-burn mechanism… but when massive withdrawals hit Anchor Protocol and panic selling began, the system entered a deadly death spiral 🌀
$USTC lost its peg. More LUNA was printed to defend it. Hyperinflation kicked in. Confidence vanished. Billions disappeared.
But here’s where it gets darker… 🕵️♂️
Many still believe coordinated whales, hedge funds, and even shadowy dark web actors exploited Terra’s weak design, launching massive short attacks while retail investors were trapped believing Do Kwon’s “steady lads” tweets 😶🌫️
Some call it poor tokenomics. Others call it one of crypto’s biggest engineered collapses.
From DeFi king to historic cautionary tale, LUNA proved one brutal truth: if the foundation is flawed, hype won’t save it. ⚠️
The LUNA crash wasn’t just a market event… it was crypto’s Lehman Brothers moment.
Never forget: insane APY + blind trust = disaster. 📉
