So I heard about what happened a while back with terra luna going down and also the stablecoin.  At the moment, what is the current price for the original terra luna and the stablecoin related to it?  I remember at one  point it was close to 100 dollars usd for the original coin but how much is it now?



Also, I heard there then became another terra luna coin and USTC?  Can someone explain this to me?  Now I also notice on coinmarket, the USTC went up a lot.  I also notice a post about this as well.  Does this mean right now you can buy and sell and thus trade these 2 coins at the moment?  So wouldn't it be like the risk are low but the rewards are high because it already is very low?  I thought I read like the stablecoin was something like $0.001 or something like that so if it goes up, well there is a ton of potential like you can 10x or 100x it?  You can also lose 90% or 100% but if you don't put a lot of money on it... well isn't the amount you going to risk losing going to be very small compared to how much it goes up?  Example you put $100 in both of these coins.  The most you will lose is pretty much all of it so $200 total.  But since it's so low if you double up even, you can just cash out.  But not only that, you can probably 5x or 10x?  Whereas if you go down 5x or 10x, well you the most you can lose is what you put in which is $100 each on terra luna and USTC each?  I remember when that happened a while back, people said doesn't hurt to put money in terra luna and the stablecoin because it already dropped like 80%.  But the point here is your returns can be many x the amount right?



Now which exchanges can you buy or sell this terra luna and USTC?  Also these coins are completely different from the original terra luna 2 coins right?  Can you buy/sell on coinbase or gemini or you need access to say binance or binance US?  Would you have to use those decentralized exchanges like uniswap or pancakeswap for this?  I never used any of these so no clue how they work.

Take my sincere suggestion and stay away from these Terra related coins it will just kill your piece of mind and push you to anxiety if you are not actively monitoring and trading because it's been three days I have entered into it for some quick profits and indeed I have got good returns but being a tenured trader I find it difficult to control emotions and the price fluctuations are really difficult to manage, it's a clear manipulation by the whales to end up dumping everything in the market with big shorting. If you want you may try one time trade for some quick profit but at per high risk potential. Don't indulge into it.

How much is the original terra luna worth now compared to back then?  Is it still called terra luna and the original one?  What about the terra usdt coin that lost it's peg from 1.00.  How much is it now and is it still that terra usdt?  Or is it a different name in terra classic usd?



So did anyone who owned terra luna or terra usdt... the original 2 coins lost everything or the coins still exist but it's worth 1% or whatever it is now?



I was confused reading about it because I remember the issue people said was something about having to burn coins so if terra luna goes up, terra usdt has to go down and lose it's peg or vice versa.  So what exactly happened there?

there are two coin luna and lunc basically just forked coins, their value now was just only a fraction of what they have back then, also USTC losing losing peg when there was a swap that amounts to 85 million dollars if im not mistaken taking place in one single swoop making the entire system that ustc was built on basically fragile system where each 1 USTC isn't truly pegged to 1 dollar, so when that swap take place, terra luna and USTC crashed so hard it just have fraction of its value.
overall its already a dead coin don't invest in it if you don't want to lose your entire saving and let it vanish into thin air, current pump was more likely due to short lates hypes of future contract by binance but eventually it will go down again after all, what can a dead coin do.

There are 3 coins now 1) Lunc: This is original Luna coin 2) USTC 3) Terra Luna (Luna 2.0): This is new coin.

Regarding price, you could search yourself on CMC/CG, you will find there exchanges listed them as well.

LUNC, USTC are rising due to speculated revamp plan. You can read more about it here (https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/11/29/terras-ustc-gains-300-as-bitcoin-focused-comeback-plan-binance-perpetuals-listing-fuel-speculative-frenzy/).

I checked LUNC the original terra luna.  It's worth $0.0001?  So basically 1% of 1 penny?



USTC the original terra luna stable coins is around $0.05 so it lost 95% of it's peg?



So if you were to buy any of these 3 coins, only buy LUNC or USTC and avoid the Terra Luna (Luna 2.0)?  It shows Terra Luna is about $0.80 but it doesn't mean 80 cents or it does?  So if you buy 100 LUNA now, it's worth $80?

I think the price is $0.803 now Tera Luna was a very big shock to it's investors. When this Luna fall dip 2022 I was not even much into crypto system, but the shock was everywhere on Twitter and crypto websites. What happened to Tera Luna is a warning sign to people to always diversify there portfolio in other no to incure much loss.

I will still remember that the UST pool was "attacked" on Curve, BTC decreased, leading to UST losing the threshold of 1 USD (depeg). And the days that followed were a series of price disasters. The project side seems to not have enough capacity to resolve the situation.

''domino'' on the crypto market.

A series of projects related to this platform have suffered the same situation. In fact, it is impossible to measure the exact amount of damage that the LUNA-UST "disaster" has caused, is causing, or is about to cause to the cryptocurrency market.

The garbage dump in the market will still have people operating and creating hype for their own purposes, but in my opinion, forget about it and look forward to the good future of the crypto field. Incidents like Luna teach us that crypto is not always safe, as financial vulnerabilities can cause another major disaster to occur.

You asked so many questions OP.. I will answer some questions according to my knowledge.


Current price you can check in the coinmarkecap  which will give you real time price. I want to clear one thing that  Luna classic and Ustc is no more real token and now just working just like meme coins and listed in many exchanges.. The purpose of coins is just like meme coin which has no use case, no team, no road map.. Luna V2 is now official token of luna team but this project already lost trust and now it cannot be like before. Currently token is trading at 0.8$

it applies to people who want to make quick profits.
because every year or every month there will continue to be pump and dump schemes like that and people are still interested in it.
meaning people consciously follow it, so they know the risks.

You already mentioned it. Terra  $LUNA was worth over $105 prior to the crash and it immediately dipped 50% to $51 before plummeting hard and yes, the CEO of Terraform Labs (which was the parent company behind UST and LUNA). There's no clear information right now whether or not he still owns LUNA because the total supply was exponentially increased so even if he owned a lot of the original LUNA, it should be worth close to nothing. Last I heard about Do Kwon, he was on the run and later apprehended by authorities.

I wouldn't put too much efforts on this considering the protocol already failed outright. Best bet would be to get hands on a new an exciting project that can replicate achieve similar level of success.

Everything related to Terra related coins is an attempt to give you false hope in something that may never happen at all, and it is, at best, a pump dump if not a scam. The currency died a long time ago and all efforts to revive it will be related to achieving a temporary profit before it leads to you losing your money. The names are different but the meaning is the same.

There are so many questions there and I do not want to snip anyone, but I will summarize the replies based on my understanding.

First, be very careful in dealing with the Terra project, but still, it might earn you so much if you are an aggressive risk-taker. By the old USTC, you mean UST and the price is $0.01594 according to CoinDesk. Of which Terra is planning to burn more of it to make it more scarce, maybe it will help the Terra projects further, I can ascertain, however, burning often help coins/token to appreciate.

During the crypto bull run, I don't think there is any popular asset that will not have a share of the bull run, this is why we see the dead or almost-dead coins/tokens, including the Terra projects coming back to life. Although I knew that projects like LUNA and LUNC would appreciate due to halving and wanted to buy months ago. It's always like that. But be careful and do thorough research if you would buy them at all.

I was hold some LUNA when it was crashed value was almost zero that's why i can't sell old LUNA, then holding in Binance, Then Tera Classic (LUNC) is implemented and i got some LUNC for LUNA, So i think now LUNC is a real LUNA coin and listed on the Binance exchange & people’s trading it & volume over 300$ million. USTC is Tera Classic USD it’s a stable coin of LUNA but price is dumping hardly now 0.05$.

All coins from Terra Luna network have been upgrading with new kinds of coins and change smart contract, if you hold old terra luna your coins have been automatically replace by other kinds of Luna coins with cheapest values. Forget with how much assets before when investing in Terra Luna platform coins exactly after crashing not start good moment recovery to higher price. The only one of Terra Luna coins not change smart contract is USTC, still the same USTC you hold before price dropping drastically and current USTC price around $0.05.

There are many question for Terra Luna coin holder if not seeing with current news, they will be shocked and surprised what happen with Luna coins dropped drastically and assets above $100 will be nothing right nor if hold some of Luna coins.

After the terra luna crash the team failed to repeg their stablecoin and they saw there is no way around to fix the problem. So they renamed their old terra luna to LUNAC and stable coin to USTC. They have also issued a new terra luna with the same name LUNA and stable coin UST. Old LUNA which is renamed LUNAC, was around 100$ i think but the new LUNA coin is below one dollar. They lost the community and trust from their user. No one is talking about LUNA right now which was talk of the town in the last bull run.

That burn event you are talking about is from recent airdrop speculation, I think. I saw it somewhere that those who owned UST before the crash can burn their UST and get an airdrop in their ecosystem. This can be bit different as i don't have that news link right now.

What you said there about the lesson might be true but I also think that some coins like BTC are safe to entrust with our money alone. Other than that, if we always monitor our investments and always be updated on the coin that we HODL and the happenings around, I think we can take-off at a right time, before the worse things happens.

It's only sad to know that some projects here have a bad intention. They are only good at the start, so that they can get the trust of their investors. We need to take time to investigate before we invest, so that we can avoid bad projects like this. Now that we are now close to a supposed bull run, a lot of projects like that are going to spawn. So, stay safer.

The original Terra Luna Coin, called LUNA previously, has turned into a meme coin after the incident where the stablecoin, UST (Now USTC) lost its peg and dropped below $1 and the reason for that was that the peg wasn't backed by real money but it was an algorithmic stablecoin which means that the value would depend on an algorithm and that thing created by Terra backfired badly and it took the whole project down in no time, investors of their coins lost millions of dollars in that.

They then created a new chain with a new coin, named it LUNA, and renamed the old LUNA coin to LUNC (LUNA Classic), UST, the stablecoin, was named USTC, and all of them are still tradeable in most cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance has them all listed and they are being traded like any other cryptocurrency.

They do lose and gain value over time, a couple of days ago, USTC and LUNC were rising a bit, however, they lost the trust they had before and people only use them for very short terms just to gain small percentages of profit now.

Talking about LUNA coin, there are certainly many who feel hurt and disappointed with this coin which has caused them losses, which in the end they replaced it with Tera Classic (LUNC). And for me, even though they get LUNC, this still doesn't cover their losses when holding LUNA. And even though the price of LUNC has gone up recently, I'm sure many people are traumatized by investing in this coin.

Because I think coin It will fall back to where it was for over a year, the whales buy and push coins and we buy then they sell everything and then it will fall even lower, there is no hope before they burn that 5 trillion.

Coincidentally, some time ago we saw that the movement was quite good, but now it has dropped slightly. If we look at it, it seems like they lack focus and expect too much from buyers. I'm just arguing that if they want to speed up and gain market confidence, do a pump when the price is corrected, even though it's not deep.

Well the resurrection of Terra Luna to Luna Class might be different from the former and the operations might be different and if anyone want to invest you don't have to tell the person to stay clear from the project but you can tell the person to be careful with the investment. And I can remember when the latter was launched and the dead if the former. And the latter was launched when the CEO of the former was still in the custody. And they have survived for almost a year so it might not be a scam project.

They might have good intention and as it is people are investing in it and the coin is growing. And anyone who is interested to invest should invest with the amount that they can loss that will not pain them. All altcoins are risk and it is better for one to be careful with their investment.

If we talk about their stablecoin, then I am sure that this is speculation. The losses of stablecoin hodlers are huge, more than $5 billion, and no one is going to compensate for the losses. If the news reports that the price has returned to $1, then it’s time to sell.

Whatever arguments being put forward in favor of those coins will fall on deaf ears, it is impossible to expect that after a project completely collapses and it ruins the lives of a lot of people all around the world, with some of them even taking their lives, that somehow people will simply forget about it and once again invest their money in it simply because the developers behind it have good intentions, Terra Luna and all the assets which are part of that same circle of coins need to disappear completely, unfortunately I doubt this will happen as speculators are still keeping those coins alive.

Let us admit that this project already lose confidence of most community members.
They are only for short-term gains so to speak as it is hard to hold it for long-term anymore.
I guess most trader of these project are only hyping up so they can get good profits.
Not really believing that they have reason to survive. But only because they are still gaining from it.

  From what I see there in USTC and LUC, to be honest, even if we say that there are a lot of people who do not believe and trust in it because of the scandal it did in 2023, it is still undeniable that when you look at its trading volume in Binance or in the market, it is still too big to be honest.

  This means that there are still many manipulators holding it to hype the community traders in the crypto space, so it is likely and obvious that what will happen here when the halving and bull run come is really just pump and dump, because I don't see anything new either. development on their platform, but if you know that the price will go up, be cautious at all costs.

That's because they're in Binance and I think that Binance is still milking the remains of it. But once the volume goes down or when the time comes that Binance gets themselves done with it, the volume will dramatically go down. And that's the reason why they need to rethink of it because it's known that CZ is stil supporting it, despite that he's no longer the CEO of Binance. I guess that there's still some continuation of what he has started supporting these coins.

thats true seemed he really favoured this coin to be honest, even go as far as keeping the future contract might make us wonder whats actually left of this coin, regardless the trading volume still being high was mainly because are so attached to the coin, might be some people that are still willing to hold it thinking it'd eventually regain its value in the future, also the whales comes into play in this coin making things worse, sometime the coin pumps out of nowhere significantly and the next hours it dumps into oblivion.
but I guess people are favouring such fluctuation and try to get profit from that, so no wonder the trading volume remains high, we also see same case with meme coin despite being abandoned by the devs, it instead thrive, but never forget that a coin without fundamental might just vanish into thin air the next day.

Because after the debacle, they should have delisted that and even telling how much they've got from it became low and almost a total lost for them. I think that they're just trying to recover the big loss that they've from this project and that's why even if many have already abandoned it, they're still on it. This is the reason why these exchanges can do anything that they want and support whatever projects they want to support. There's an agenda why it is still on it and it's either they're still making money out of it or not yet done and recovered from the devastating loss they've made.

"Furthermore, Mint Cash – a permission-less, Bitcoin-backed payments system – announced a potential revival of the Terra ecosystem, Anchor Protocol and USTC, this time collateralizing the stablecoin with BTC. Aleph Research is also contributing to the project, with its executive director Daniel Hong claiming that the revamp plan will rebuild “what the original Terra stablecoin failed to deliver”.

Mint Cash has also announced an airdrop for pre-crash $UST and $LUNA holders, a move that is generating significant interest in the Terra Luna community. The combination of Binance’s futures listing and the Bitcoin-backed Terra revival plan resulted in a strong surge of value in both USTC and LUNC. "

Very good manipulation involving Binance, and this exchange has the largest trading volumes for this coin.

Continuation in investing in projects, thoroughly do your research because most of these projects are not clean as intended, their road map doesn't correspond with the present form of the project. Despite Binance losing their best CEO this year, it doesn't mean Binance will just fold up because there's more to achieved and their customers prioritize meeting up to the exact tasks they aspire to accomplish. Binance former CEO Changpeng Zhao have made entries on the market and have numerous investments, he just have to be a little bit careful because eyes are on him since he's been charged for essential cases of misconduct.

Normally, Mr Zasad@, it's just ordinary speculation to boost prices. If this is true and they commit, the luna price will rebound quickly. And I see that buyers come in only for certain moments when there are positive issues to increase other profits.

Terra Luna is a scam project we have seen in 2022 it made the biggest scam. Where investors lost a lot of money, although it is currently active in the market. Since few days the price of all the coins including Bitcoin market has been moving towards high big due to which every coin has gradually increased. Also, the price of Terra Luna increased slightly, but there was a lot of pumping by the USTC. We know that USTC was a stable coin at one time, but its value plummeted due to the project scandal. And currently it is pumping a bit but seeing this pumping there is no need to invest here as it will not give you high profit but risk for your money.

To justify a scam when it wasn't true before. Now they are still traded on several exchanges, but I am also a bit pessimistic about their movements, whether they will be able to bounce back even though I have also followed their journey to this day.

Exactly, It seems that a big big player is attempting to mislead new comers in cryptocurrencies market and take advantage of their lack of experience in this industry. Investment this project can only be profitable if a major exchange formally agrees to acquire it, taking on both its assets and liabilities formally similar to we are seeing with FTX exchange.

Well LUNC seems to be increasing a lot lately.  So if you want to trade short term for profit because you think LUNC wiil go up short term but ultimately will go bad like most altcoins, wouldn't it make sense to buy it and say if it goes up your target percent profit... let say 10% even, then you sell for profit?

If you want to buy and trade LUNC now, assuming you only have access to coinbase and gemini, what exchange would you have to sign up with?  Either uniswap or pancakeswap?  Also you would need ETH as well since BTC doesn't work with them?

If you haven't made your investment before the pump in LUNC then you are already late. This project made significant gains without any reason. It looks like someone is trying to manipulate its price and spread rumors about it within the community. After what happens with LUNA i don't think they have the community support like they did before. But still, some of their old investors are trying to buy back and burn the token for an expected airdrop, I think. Not sure if that's true but it will be a gamble to invest in this project right now.

Are there people that are short term trading terra luna for a small percentage profit and then selling since long term this coin will obviously go down?

So the terra usd classic seems to keep going up.  So isn't it worth it to buy it to trade though?  It will obviously never go back to 1 dollar but couldn't hit go to 10 cents or so?
