LUNA

SuckaFree415

Not 6 figures but lost $10-20k on $LUNA. 😢

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

A couple reasons. There were some Defi platforms that didn't halt but I couldn't move it. The bigger reason was the way LUNA worked and the algo behind its tie to UST. It became hyperinflationary, and as UST sold off more LUNA was minted which caused UST to drop and... Death spiral.

MVPhurricane

i was arguably even more regarded: i decided to try and catch the falling knife thinking “iono maybe they’ll find some way to save it somehow and it’ll rip back to where it was”. LOL. LMAO, even. never even held any LUNA ever OTHER THAN to donate to everyone’s exit liquidity for absolutely fucking no reason. guess the problem with being a contrarian is sometimes you confuse being contrarian for being a fucking moron. 

DowntownCanada416

Same dude… LUNA sounded so legit. Lost some serious gains and then all of it. Watching it go down was crazy.

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Well, it happened a few years ago. Lost 6 figures when $LUNA crashed. The exchanges all halted trading. All I could do was watch it get flushed like the turd it really was, spinning in circles as it went down the drain. If I have any crypto bags it's only BTC or ETH. I don't fuck around with anything else anymore.

If you followed the LUNA collapse a few years back, you would not be shocked at all. They leverage to the tits, even borrowing bank money to trade.

The Terra-LUNA collapse in May 2022 was an unprecedented cryptocurrency crash where a once-booming $45 billion ecosystem wiped out investor wealth almost overnight. The wipeout erased over $60 billion from the broader market and triggered the bankruptcies of major crypto lending and investment firms. The catastrophic failure was triggered when TerraUSD (UST), an algorithmic stablecoin designed to maintain a permanent $1:1 peg, lost its parity with the US dollar. Because UST was not backed by physical reserves, a sudden surge in mass withdrawals overwhelmed the system. To artificially defend the peg, the protocol algorithmically minted trillions of the sister token, LUNA. This hyperinflationary "death spiral" caused LUNA's price to plummet from over $119 to virtually zero within a matter of days. a la gemini

cirl-gock

I always thought the ticker LUNR was too similar too LUNA like the crypto that rugged forever ago so I never touched that shit

LankyGuitar6528

My plan? Pretty sure I got in at the absolute top for Nvidia, LUNA, Rocket Labs, MU... all of them. Another red day and if my buy high sell low traditional strategy holds I'll turn paper handed bitch and sell for a huge loss.

LUNA and FTT. The end.

Dull-Objective-567

Oh mann that was me all of college, I was a dealer and would import stuff using BTC. if I just slowing kept accumulating my own personal BTC Ended up making $100+k in crypto and lost it all in the LUNA/TERA crash lol oh well

Dull-Objective-567

I (29M) was a crypto bro for a few years, made $100k+, then lost just about everything in the LUNA crash. Sorry brotha. Felt like you for a few years, escaped to Colombia for 1yr to just say YOLO. Started legit working again a few years ago, now I got a great sales got making $100k + and hope to win another lottery in my 30’s It’s the toughest life lesson to learn, but now you always know the value of money. Especially even like $10k

Old-Cucumber-5949

This is why I have LUNA stock.

mehmilani

You avoid LUNR because of fundamentals, I avoid it because its ticker resembles LUNA. We are not the same.

MaxExtractoor

Gives me Terra-LUNA vibes.

randomFrenchDeadbeat

>like if something says 5 percent monthly is that automatically fake? Thats about 10 times more than the sp500. so yeah. Do you seriously believe anything can give you that much ? Ask yourself, how would they finance that ? Heck even the LUNA/FTX scam only promised 1.6% / month. Would you like to buy a bridge ? I have a couple for sale.

nabuuuya

I lost $100K in LUNA back in 2022 when I was 23 years old. A year I’ll never forget. I stuck to my corporate job, put my money in large cap stocks during the 2022 stock market crash and recovered from there. Make sure to do your own research on what you’re buying and don’t go off YouTube ‘influencers’ who are trying to pump their own bags. If I can do it, so can you. Wishing you all the best and take care of yourself ❤️

PaperHandsTheDip

Why do people keep making new stables? We have quite a few that actually work (USDC, DAI, etc) that are low risk of depegging. The algo stable coins scare me tho (DAI falls into that bucket). They're often easily manipulated (see: UST / LUNA)

jnas_19

crypto niggas are not surviving another bear market with all the degeneracy out there. Crypto liquidations just had its largest single-day event ever. Bigger than LUNA, Bigger than COVID, Bigger than FTX. Another bear market is gonna place every crypto bro on suicide watch

foulpudding

Digital assets have zero fundamental value and are entirely speculative. I’m not saying you can’t make money with them. I’m saying that the only thing preventing them from losing all value is the collective idea that they shouldn’t. And my assumption is always, and will always be always be, that digital assets can go to zero at any time, as quickly as overnight. (For example, the drop of the dollar pegged “stable” Terra LUNA coin thing back in. ‘22) That’s fine with a speculative account, or for a small, quick investor. But for a fund, I’d be hard pressed to believe they could move fast enough to avoid a collapse should one occur. During the last crypto run up, we saw a lot of fails and rug pulls from companies who offered high yields for holding your crypto. Companies like Celsius, Voyager, and BlockFi. Those places offered 10-20% and ultimately collapsed because they were unsustainable. I saw a crypto fund/stock mentioned just a couple of days ago that promises returns of 200%… What could possibly go wrong? So, in short… I treat anything crypto as a spiritual equal to GME/AMC. Fun, maybe even profitable as trades, but not as predictable investments.

bamfcoco1

Before you overhype on stable coins, read about LUNA.

PaperHandsTheDip

EOD lots of the big prop firms are manipulating markets. I see it all the time in crypto. It's just a question of how much, how much do they get away with & whats the punishment for being caught? For example - if you remember LUNA / UST? Turns out Jump Capital was manipulating it / artificially maintaining the PEG to attract investors into LUNA. It was a complete ponzi. Once it got big enough they pulled out and profited ~1.28b billion. The punishment? A mere ~$130m fine. They literally knew it was a ponzi, sustained it to attract naive investors / retail and pulled the rug on them. If you lost money on LUNA <- the culprit was jump. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/02/17/jump-crypto-is-unnamed-firm-that-made-128b-from-do-kwons-doomed-terra-ecosystem-sources All the big firms do similar shit. They usually just get away with it...

b0men

I like this pick, but lets not forget Mike Novigratz literally got a LUNA tattoo and flexed it online. Yes the shitcoin ponzi that caused a complete crypto meltdown. That one.

miaminaples

You’re right that Ethereum has been through stress, and yes, it’s still standing. But resilience doesn’t mean immunity, and open code isn’t a blanket guarantee of systemic safety. Transparency is a virtue, but in practice, most exploits don’t get fixed until after they’ve wiped out user funds. Saying these hacks “strengthen” the system is a bit like saying food poisoning improves the restaurant…maybe the kitchen learns something, but people still got sick! What scenario would cause a wave of redemptions? You say Ethereum’s crashed before and stablecoins survived, so why worry? Because the setup is changing. Stablecoins didn’t used to be plugged directly into U.S. Treasury funding. Now, under the new legislation, they’re being required to hold T-bills, making them a critical financing link for the U.S. government. That means if something breaks in crypto, whether it’s another LUNA-style collapse, a major hack, regulatory pressure, or just a sharp drop in sentiment, it won’t just be a crypto issue. It’ll spill over into public finance. Think through the mechanics: First confidence drops, then stablecoin holders rush to redeem, issuers have to liquidate T-bills, Treasury yields spike, borrowing costs rise, the Fed or Treasury may have to intervene. That’s the kind of cross-contagion you don’t get from standard money market funds, which aren’t tied to speculative token ecosystems. Why would someone leave Ethereum and move money back into a fractional-reserve banking system? Because that’s where people always flee in a panic: to dollars, to Treasuries, to insured deposits. No matter how decentralized Ethereum is, it doesn’t offer the same legal protections, recourse, or guaranteed liquidity in a crisis. DeFi works until it doesn’t, and the moment it wobbles, capital flees to safety, just like it always has. On your final point: yeah, the government adopting blockchain-based infrastructure is inevitable. But there’s a massive difference between modernizing payments and tying sovereign debt markets to speculative crypto flows. That’s what I mean by “unstable flows”: capital sloshing in and out based on hype cycles, whale trades, memecoins, or macro shocks in a barely regulated environment. Using blockchain tech for efficiency is fine, it’s been around for almost 40 years already. But using it as a structural pillar of fiscal stability is effectively a bet on market sentiment never breaking down, and history isn’t on your side there.

I trade TQQQ like I'm trading LUNA.

Instead they’ll buy one created by one of their own: LUNA

There are multiple ways depending on what you are comfortable with. With dividend stocks, some offer some great annual returns but this method isnt steady and can lead to fluctuations and even loss of capital depending on what stocks you have. With crypto, you have multiple avenues between staking, interest earning on a lending platform, running your own node, and other ways. The problem with crypto is its super volatile, but with certain stablecoins and even relatively BTC you can no to smaller fluctuations. A stablecoin is pegged to a certain currency but that doe not stop it from being depegged and you losing your money (like what happened with LUNA). There are other ways like investments in real estate grouped up from multiple people and the benefits are then redivided but i do not know much about this so don't take my word for it. Over all for 10K a month more or less on the top of my head id say youd need around 1,200,000, putting your money is places that are relatively safe but definitely not risk free. I am not a financial advisor, but ran into this exact same question while on guard duty just sitting my ass waiting for things to happen. My research led me down these avenues and for the last couple years have started to bear fruit, i wouldnt mind sharing my experience for you over DM if youd like.

eje0100

1 of mine was LUNA

breakbeatera

It's value over any other crypto is in it's size and stability(block in every 10min for 15 years). Even after China and everyone else tried to banned it. By the size i mean no one can brake it by buying up 51% and starting to fake transactions. Nobody has that kind of wealth so it's predictable and safe. For example LUNA was crashed by whales manipulating it with big sums.

While the specifics of the Great Depression and today’s economy are different, the underlying economic mechanics of speculation and tariffs remain similar. In both cases: 1. Tariffs led to retaliation and economic contraction: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act worsened the Depression by reducing global trade, just as modern tariffs (e.g., U.S.-China trade war) disrupt supply chains and increase costs. While today’s economy is more resilient, the core risks of higher consumer prices, trade retaliation, and economic slowdown remain the same. 2. Speculation-fueled crashes mirror past financial bubbles: The 1920s stock market boom was driven by excessive leverage, FOMO, and margin debt, much like modern cryptocurrency speculation. Just as overleveraged investors were wiped out in 1929, we saw cascading liquidations in crypto crashes (e.g., LUNA, FTX, Three Arrows Capital) when confidence collapsed. Both eras show that high speculation and trade restrictions can amplify financial downturns. While the context has evolved, the underlying risks of protectionism, leverage, and unsustainable bubbles remain unchanged.

I’m pretty sure that bitcoin, like all cryptocurrencies is just a cataclysmic rugpull waiting to happen. Just like tuah coin, or LUNA, or the dozens before that. Bitcoin is just controlled by the elites, let it run up until it doesn’t.

Literally anything that is connected to crypto is for sure going to go up in the next few months. HOOD COIN MSTR if you can afford those premiums. AI is a gamble but usually giving out good gains. Last but not least space stocks are the new meme stocks. I have no idea if these companies make revenue but I know they will 5x in the next few years RKLB LUNA ASTS. These are all good long term plays

Sorry mate, I lost all my savings too when LUNA crashed. It was about 17k and I only make 30k a month, it still hurts when I think about it this day.. I hope you are able to recover from your losses 🙏🏾

soundofwinter

idk the problem with that kind of logic is it will literally take like, 1 day for the crash to happen when it does. Remember LUNA? or FTX? Bitcoin's value is in the historicity of it being the 'first' and formerly the best currency to use for buying drugs over the internet. It's going to reach a head eventually and how much will a 100x gain matter when it just becomes 0x one day, Investing isn't zero-sum but crypto is

IDK, it’s definitely not as strong as RKLB or LUNA..

BTComeback

**$MSTR is basically the $LUNA in NASDAQ.** It resembles the unsustainable dynamics of $LUNA's death spiral, with its strategy hinging on relentless Bitcoin accumulation through debt and stock dilution. Just as Terra's UST required continuous minting of LUNA to maintain its peg, MicroStrategy relies on issuing new shares at inflated premiums to buy more Bitcoin. While this temporarily boosts Bitcoin holdings per share and valuation, it exposes shareholders to increasing dilution risk. Should Bitcoin's price falter, the "Bitcoin per share" narrative collapses, undermining confidence and triggering a sell-off. The parallels to $LUNA's demise are stark: overleveraged positions, perpetual capital raises, and a self-reinforcing loop that unravels when the core asset's value declines.

Wasnt there also another company, LUNA or something? That supposed to win a contract

Roughly around 100k including crypto. I was new at trading at the time. My biggest trade was 28k on stock and 20k on crypto during the LUNA crash. I did not take profit on either of them. Now I’m down around 40k

wayfarer8888

I am too lazy to research it myself and see it here all the time... what's $LUNR business model? The ticket sounds like a failed crypto currency, wasn't that LUNA or something?

ComfyRug

Of course: > Luna Innovations Incorporated (LUNA) is currently trading at $2.17, with technical indicators suggesting a bearish sentiment. The 14-day RSI is at 42.5, indicating potential oversold conditions, while the MACD histogram shows a slight bullish divergence, hinting at possible short-term recovery. However, the stock has been in a downtrend, with the 30-day SMA above the current price, reinforcing downward pressure. Given the broader market's cautious optimism and LUNA's low volume, expect limited volatility. For today's session, consider entering a short position around $2.20, targeting $2.10 as the first price target and $2.05 as the second, with a stop loss at $2.25. Confidence in reaching the first target is moderate due to the prevailing bearish trend, while the second target carries lower confidence given potential support levels. Keep an eye on any unexpected news that could impact this thinly traded stock.

LUNA was crypto and sketchy af, no hedge. I made my bed and own it

JeromePowellLovesMe

I was going to post something snarky as usual, but since we both lost on LUNA, I feel a sort of regard kinship here. Hopefully you have other coins with more transparency. They will likely do well when the US can't pay its debts any longer without borrowing its own money. This might seem like a very, very small thing then.

rd26

New to reddit posting, but had a message before this picture. It was a bad year or so of abuse. I was making sickening money and ended up at the end before this loss losing 7 figures on LUNA. Money back then wasn't a big deal, made a nice 6 figure/yr salary + bounus and was raking it in on the side. This was the fun account that I tilted after I lost big. But yeah. I fucked up bad, no doubt.

LEAPS on LUNA, didn’t realize it had such a small float plus contract news could really push it heavy. I’m quite intrigued now to watch these. The LEAPS are pretty reasonable tbh.

You mean this? > but when people start talking about taking loans on their houses to dump on tech again, that would be 2.0. 1.) It's naive to think people haven't already done this. The stories only come out when margin calls are triggered. 2.) It's not a special thing anymore. I heard plenty of stories like this during 2022 where people lost all their equity in harebrained assets like LUNA and fintech stocks. Knew at least one suicide through a friend of a friend. That type of speculation is rampant now that trading is so easily accessible.

ChamberofSarcasm

I'm not saying a stock peaks when the zeitgeist talks about it but I think it's short term peak is in and when the media quiets down it's a sign of diminishing interest and thus, price run. The media's job is to attract eyeballs (clicks or views). They start paying attention to a stock or story or crypto when people start talking about it. There's a handoff of attention and coverage from community > larger internet > mass media > general public. Then, either the public gets exhausted on a topic (our brains only get excited by things for so long) and the media feeds a new one (see most political issues in the U.S.) or, the price top is in for a bit, the audience loses interest, the media moves on. If NVIDIA creeps up toward $1000 I'm sure the news will start covering it again, because the general public will be excited again. To am not saying this is the final top for NVIDIA. But that's why LUNA said "for the time being". Once the media stops presenting the story, and the price dips a little, the general public (boomers and barbers and non-finance people) will think the ship is done sailing.
