Matt Darling showcasing some blast-from-the-past "what is wrong with economics" takes that are apparently preserved in amber from 2008 being retold in 2024:

"Don't economists know that scalar models aren't everything" wow. amazing.

"hAvE yOu tRiEd SyStEm DyNaMiCs" fucking lmao

Anyway our boy Michael Saylor continues by asking "hasn't anyone tried tracking price changes for specific goods?" - inquiring minds at the BLS want to hear more. Will you be shocked to learn this guy is an ex-tech CEO who is now really into Bitcoin??

Back in 2008, the financial crisis hit the world, and while the idea that it was "economist's fault" like they were running things somehow was very silly, its fair to say it was a black mark on a lot of mainstream macro people - it did cause some solid revisions & debates. And in the dissident econ era of that time, it became a "thing" to talk about economics as this sort of backward institution, obsessed with models disconnected from reality and privileging math over data, since if macro was vulnerable the whole field was.

This critique was fully outdated at the time, but I will least credit that it takes time for people to catch up to the frontier, and the critiques were like a bit valid about say 1980's economics - with the extremely obvious caveat that they lacked affordable computers then and so couldn't do shit like system dynamics, but w/e. Still, if it was outdated in 2008, its laughably off the mark in 2024, discussing an econ field flush with econometrics, measurement & big data, and diverse mathematical and computational methods. But since the ideas of 2008 were foundational to so many dissident movements - like crypto for example - they continue to march on, divorced from their place and time.

Fun to see an old friend I guess; how ya been since Occupy Wall St eh?

Jobs Hamlet characters would have because I said so <3

Hamlet: Nepo baby who has the freedom to pursue whatever he wants! His indecisive ass is still wondering what to do though.

Horatio: Seems like a personable dude! Would probably do well as an Uber driver with the end goal of becoming a teacher or something that serves the greater good of his community :’)

Laertes: Onlyfans model Something in liberal arts! Maybe has a degree in literature or other from that fancy-ass French college.

Ophelia: Takes way too much shit with a smile on her face. Is lowkey going crazy. Retail worker, possibly a Starbucks barista!

Claudius: Tech bro :/ killed his CEO brother to inherit the stocks. Probably got Gertrude into Bitcoin.

Polonius: Financial Analyst to Claudius. Loves screwing over his employees. Thinks his son is a disappointment for pursuing liberal arts and not NFTs.

Gertrude: She’d be one of those Gwenyth Paltrow-type of millionaires who sells the weirdest shit for overblown prices. Hamlet prefers not to mention her career.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Minimum-wage McDonald’s workers 😔 they probably befriended Ophelia over not being able to join the workers’ union, lest they all get fired. Rosencrantz does have aspirations to be a tattoo artist, and Guildenstern is working on starting a band.

Oh yeah, I think Vilidia beach stuff would probably be cute as hell

The general shit like swimwear, feeling the warm sand, using a towel as a big blanket, looking at fish and rocks underwater, literally just sitting there next to the ocean and watching the water and talking I do specifically like to think that Vil would either help Idia learn swimming or at least floating or drag him through the water a bit while he holds on to some kind of float, maybe he gets a swimming board so he can paddle along

And the sunburn, oh dear, the sunburn

Of course also usable is how close Idia has been to the ocean all his life without ever touching it and I'm not sure how far down the Isle of Woe is, but I imagine we're talking deep territory, deep enough to see some weird creatures down there

Underwater ecosystems can get wild, imagine looking out of your window and seeing a handfish walk around outside before the ground swallows it up and swims away, a gulper eel repeatedly bumping into the glass like a pigeon

Eating ice cream at the beach while your boyfriend tells you about the unknown to men that lurk within the waters

Hating raw fish together is simply the backbone of any romantic relationship

I also feel the need to tell you that I just got an ad for bitcoin on your blog and it read: "Bitcoin Hyperdeflation, experience rapid and sustained price decrease with Bitcoin. Join the trend today!" and I think that's very fitting considering capitalist (submissive)

Aughhh oh my gosh them in beachwear. Vil either in swimwear or like a loose beach shirt?? Peak. (Even though I feel like he’d be the kind of guy to wear a wetsuit to the beach for extra skin protection)

Vil’s looking like his perfect model self meanwhile there’s a scrawny, pale ass man beside him that’s burnt to a crisp in seconds despite the layers of sunscreen Vil put on him.

Also I love the thought of Idia opening up about his childhood now that there is someone he can talk to about the Isle of Woe. Everything’s supposed to be classified, but Vil’s memory can’t exactly be wiped. I think he’d find living underwater pretty cool at times and he’d ramble about all the weird creatures he’s seen.

Omg actually. Side tangent. I can see the two of them despising the feeling of sand together. It’s a sensory problem for me personally and I think it’d be the same for Idia at times. Vil just doesn’t like it because it gets literally everywhere and he doesn’t feel very clean after the beach. Swimming is fun, but the space between is less fun.

Also I can see Vil being in love with having fruit smoothies or coconut milk by the beach. I remember going to a really obscure beach once on vacation with mostly only locals on it. There was an absolutely incredible fresh fruit juice stand that I think Vil would have loved.

And as a capitalist (submissive) I personally do not invest in bitcoin and instead only invest in men that will take my money with a 100% guarantee. /j

the 216 is behind the times

(Yeah I know. I'm not called janeway216 here. It's a thing. Just go with it.)

I've always built my own PCs, but in the past few years I let my mid-tier 2016 build ossify into a "you're running a what" build. What I had was fine and nothing on the market was an attractive upgrade anyway, especially once Bitcoin mining and silicon shortages cranked the prices on everything into the mesophere.

Enter Cities: Skylines II, which appears to have been optimized for the gaming hardware of 2028. The minimum requirements are ludicrous for a city builder sim, especially considering that Cities: Skylines will run on anything up to and including a Super Nintendo, but I wanted to play so I started gathering parts.

Let me tell you, C:S2 has been out for a month, I still can't play it and I'm about to yeet my entire PC into Jupiter.

Most of my parts are fine, but the big issue since the game actually released has been my GPU: a GTX 970 from 2015. I knew it was going to be a problem! It's ancient! However, I was really hoping my teeny tiny sub-1080p monitors would make up for it.

Nope. It is so bad that it doesn't matter how I tweak the graphics settings, I only have one quality setting: Potato. All changing the settings does is determine whether it looks like trash at 13 FPS or 28 FPS.

Okay, I can fix that, so I bought a GTX 3060 Ti on Black Friday. Problem solved! Except... well. My case is an Antec Three Hundred I bought in 2011. Great case. Solid metal and built like an M1 Abrams. But it's old and the largest GPU it can fit is 279 mm. The 3060 Ti? 286 mm.

🤦‍♀️

Of course now that Black Friday is over everyone's all sold out of GPUs anyway. So at this point my options are either RMA the 3060 Ti I bought and hope a smaller-sized model comes back in stock at something close to list price, or give up and buy a newer, larger case. And let me tell you. If I wanted a new case, I would already have a new case.

And either way, I still can't play Cities: Skylines II yet...

Following the bankruptcy of one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, FTX, the price of bitcoin (BTC) has tumbled again. It is now about $16,500 – a far cry from the all-time high of $66,000 just a year ago.

Why such a large drop in value? It’s because of the highly toxic combination of an exchange (an electronic platform for buying and selling) called Binance, a stablecoin (a crypto whose price is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar or another “fiat” currency) called tether, and the skilled professional traders running high-frequency algorithms.

Unlike stocks, bitcoin can be traded on many different exchanges, but Binance has more than 50% of the entire crypto market, and as a result it sets the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In order to buy cryptocurrencies, traders must convert fiat money, into a stablecoin like tether. Bitcoin-tether has by far the largest volume of all products on Binance, and because one dollar usually equals one tether, trading on bitcoin-tether sets the dollar price of bitcoin. But when bitcoin crashes, so does the entire crypto ecosystem.

The issue is that Binance is only self-regulated, meaning it is completely unregulated by traditional market regulators such as the Securities Exchange Commission in the US or the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. This is a great attraction for professional traders because they can deploy high-frequency price-manipulation algorithms on Binance, which are against the law in regulated markets. These algorithms can cause rapid price movements up and down, making bitcoin extremely volatile.

Binance does its own clearing and settlements of trades, the same as all other self-regulated crypto exchanges. This means that losing counterparties – those on the other side of profitable trades – often have their positions wiped out automatically without notice.

Unlike normal exchanges, self-regulated crypto exchanges aren’t required to raise the alarm when a trade has lost so much money that the collateral in the account needs topping up. Instead, traders are solely responsible for funding their accounts by continually monitoring something called the liquidation price. This is done automatically by the algorithms run by professional traders, but it is exhausting for ordinary players like you and me, who need to remain highly vigilant whenever manipulation is being used to create the volatility that professional traders use to increase their profits.

When professionals trade against each other it is called toxic flow, because the chance of profit is more like 50-50 if their algorithms are equally fast and effective. Professional traders much prefer their counterparty to be an ordinary investor.

This is worrying because Binance has been hugely successful at attracting ordinary investors. The fees it earns from this kind of investor have funded its very rapid expansion; it is now branching out with its own stablecoin, blockchain and NFT marketplace. Binance is consolidating its role as the Amazon of crypto, following a very effective business model.

In some ways one can liken the current circumstances in crypto markets to the burst of the dotcom bubble in 2001-2. The venture capital that had poured into internet startups in 1999-2000 suddenly dried up, as many companies went bankrupt. This year, Three Arrows Capital, one of the largest crypto hedge funds, defaulted on its loans, and major crypto-lending companies Celsius and Voyager filed for bankruptcy as the price of bitcoin collapsed, following some unexpected and shocking attacks on a new type of stablecoin called Terra. Following the bankruptcy of FTX, several other exchanges such as Gemini, and lending platforms (shadow banks) including Genesis are preventing customers from withdrawing their funds.

We shall see a lot more of this contagion, precipitating widespread bankruptcies among startups now that venture capital has dried up in the crypto sector. More exchanges and lending platforms, as well as blockchains, NFT marketplaces, data aggregators and analytics companies, will all bite the dust.

Binance could emerge from this chaos with a monopoly. But right now, this non-domiciled and self-regulated company still needs fee revenue from ordinary investors, and it needs market makers (professional traders akin to unfriendly stall holders on the exchange) to conduct its business.

The danger is that everyone is very scared now, so the only way to draw in ordinary investors is to pump up the price of bitcoin again. This would tempt people back into the crypto game, only to have their savings wiped out as the cycle of volatility continues.

The Inflation Reduction Act's new $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles could be a major tailwind to @teslamotors stock and the company's bottom line, contends CFRA analyst Garrett Nelson. "The signing of the Inflation Reduction Act was the equivalent of 'Christmas in August' for Elon Musk & Co., as we peg Tesla as the biggest winner from the new law, as most versions of the industry's two bestselling EVS (Tesla's Model Y and Model 3) become eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit effective January 1, 2023," Nelson wrote in a note to clients. "Previously, all Tesla vehicles had phased out of tax credit eligibility after hitting the 200K units per manufacturer cap." Nelson lifted his price target on Tesla's stock to $1,245 from $1,125, which now assumes a 43% upside from current trading levels. Tesla's stock is Nelson's top pick from the auto sector. The Inflation Reduction Act serves up a $7,500 tax credit to consumers for EVS priced up to $80,000 for trucks and $55,000 for cars. To qualify for the tax credit, buyers must earn less than $150,000 in household income if single or $300,000 as a household if married. The tax credit applies only to EVs assembled in North America.

Table of ContentsIntroductionThe Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Terra (LUNA): Lessons for the Future of Algorithmic StablecoinsTerra 2.0: Analyzing the Revival Plan and Its Implications for the Crypto EcosystemThe Evolution of Algorithmic Stablecoins: Terra's Impact and What's Next for Decentralized FinanceQ&AConclusion"Empowering the Future of Finance: Terra (LUNA) - Stability Meets Innovation in Algorithmic Stablecoins"IntroductionTerra (LUNA) is a blockchain platform that was designed to support stablecoins pegged to various fiat currencies through algorithmic mechanisms. The Terra ecosystem aimed to combine the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship resistance of Bitcoin and offer fast and affordable settlements. The native token of the Terra blockchain is LUNA, which is used to stabilize the price of the protocol's stablecoins (e.g., TerraUSD, UST) and to participate in the governance of the Terra ecosystem. The future of algorithmic stablecoins, following the Terra ecosystem's challenges, is a subject of intense scrutiny and debate. The collapse of Terra's UST stablecoin in May 2022 raised significant concerns about the viability of algorithmic stablecoins, which attempt to maintain their peg through algorithms and smart contracts rather than through collateralization. The incident has led to increased regulatory attention and skepticism regarding the stability and security of these financial instruments. Moving forward, the future of algorithmic stablecoins likely involves a combination of stricter regulatory frameworks, improved transparency, and more robust mechanisms to maintain their pegs during market stress. Innovations in design, such as hybrid models that incorporate elements of both collateralized and algorithmic stablecoins, may emerge to address the vulnerabilities exposed by Terra's collapse. The industry is expected to focus on building trust, ensuring sustainability, and enhancing the resilience of stablecoins to avoid similar systemic risks in the future.The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Terra (LUNA): Lessons for the Future of Algorithmic StablecoinsTerra (LUNA) and the Future of Algorithmic Stablecoins The cryptocurrency landscape has been marked by the dramatic rise and fall of Terra (LUNA), a project that sought to revolutionize the concept of stablecoins through algorithmic means. Terra's native token, LUNA, and its stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), were at the heart of a complex mechanism designed to maintain UST's peg to the US dollar without reliance on traditional collateral. The innovative approach attracted significant attention and investment, but the subsequent collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022 served as a sobering reminder of the risks inherent in such novel financial systems. Initially, Terra's algorithmic stablecoin model appeared to be a success, with UST maintaining its peg through a system that incentivized users to swap LUNA and UST to manage supply and demand. The promise of decentralization and scalability attracted a community of supporters and developers, who saw Terra as a potential cornerstone for a new era of decentralized finance (DeFi). However, the reliance on market confidence and the absence of a tangible backstop proved to be a critical vulnerability. The downfall of Terra was swift and devastating. A combination of factors, including waning investor confidence and a series of large withdrawals, triggered a death spiral for UST. As the stablecoin's value plummeted, the mechanism designed to stabilize it instead accelerated its decline, with the creation of vast amounts of LUNA flooding the market and diluting its value. The collapse not only wiped out billions in market value but also shook the faith in algorithmic stablecoins as a whole. In the aftermath, the crypto community has been grappling with the lessons learned from Terra's implosion. The event underscored the importance of robust design and risk management in the creation of stablecoins.

It became clear that algorithmic models, while innovative, require more rigorous stress testing and possibly the integration of additional safeguards to prevent similar catastrophes. Despite the setback, the idea of algorithmic stablecoins has not been abandoned. The rebirth of Terra, marked by the launch of a new blockchain and the rebranding of its token, reflects a determination to address past mistakes and to continue exploring the potential of decentralized stable currencies. The new iteration of Terra has distanced itself from the original algorithmic peg, signaling a shift in strategy and an acknowledgment of the need for more resilient mechanisms. The future of algorithmic stablecoins now hinges on the ability of developers and the broader crypto community to apply the lessons from Terra's failure. Innovators are exploring hybrid models that combine algorithmic elements with collateralization, aiming to strike a balance between decentralization and stability. The emphasis is on transparency, governance, and community involvement to ensure that the pitfalls encountered by Terra are not repeated. As the crypto industry continues to evolve, the role of stablecoins remains pivotal. They are the bridge between the volatile world of cryptocurrencies and the stability required for everyday transactions and financial applications. Algorithmic stablecoins, despite their challenges, represent a frontier in the quest for a truly decentralized financial system. With careful consideration and improved designs, they may yet play a significant role in shaping the future of finance. In conclusion, the saga of Terra (LUNA) serves as a cautionary tale and a catalyst for innovation in the realm of stablecoins. The journey from its rise to its fall, and the subsequent efforts to revive the project, reflect the resilience and adaptability of the crypto community. As we look ahead, the lessons learned from Terra's experience will undoubtedly inform the development of more robust and reliable algorithmic stablecoins, contributing to the maturation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.Terra 2.0: Analyzing the Revival Plan and Its Implications for the Crypto EcosystemTerra (LUNA) and the Future of Algorithmic Stablecoins In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, the Terra ecosystem and its native token, LUNA, have been at the forefront of a significant experiment in the realm of algorithmic stablecoins. The original Terra blockchain, with its stablecoin UST, aimed to maintain a peg to the US dollar through a complex mechanism of minting and burning LUNA. However, the dramatic collapse of this peg in May 2022 sent shockwaves through the crypto community, leading to widespread skepticism about the viability of algorithmic stablecoins. In response, the Terra community proposed a revival plan, giving birth to Terra 2.0, which has since been a subject of intense scrutiny and debate within the crypto ecosystem. The revival plan, spearheaded by Terraform Labs and its CEO Do Kwon, involved a hard fork of the original Terra blockchain, effectively creating a new network without the algorithmic stablecoin UST. This new chain, Terra 2.0, was launched with the intention of distancing itself from the failed experiment, while still preserving the innovative spirit that had initially attracted a robust community of developers and users. The plan also included airdropping new LUNA tokens to the holders of the original tokens, as a form of compensation and to incentivize participation in the new ecosystem. The implications of this revival are manifold. Firstly, it serves as a case study for the resilience of blockchain communities and their ability to pivot and adapt in the face of adversity. The Terra community's response demonstrates a strong commitment to the project and a belief in the potential of decentralized finance (DeFi) to innovate and overcome challenges. Moreover, the Terra 2.0 initiative has sparked a broader conversation about the role

of governance and community decision-making in the crypto space, highlighting the importance of transparent and inclusive processes. However, the collapse of UST and the subsequent launch of Terra 2.0 have also raised important questions about the future of algorithmic stablecoins. These digital assets, which aim to maintain their value relative to a reference asset without the backing of physical reserves, rely on complex algorithms to adjust supply in response to changes in demand. The failure of UST has led to increased regulatory scrutiny and a call for more robust mechanisms to ensure stability and prevent systemic risks. Despite these challenges, the concept of algorithmic stablecoins remains an intriguing proposition for the crypto industry. Proponents argue that with improved designs and better risk management protocols, these digital assets could offer a decentralized alternative to traditional fiat-backed stablecoins, reducing reliance on centralized entities and enhancing the autonomy of DeFi platforms. As Terra 2.0 continues to evolve, it will be closely watched by investors, regulators, and the broader crypto community. The lessons learned from the Terra saga will undoubtedly inform the development of future algorithmic stablecoins and contribute to the maturation of the DeFi sector. While the path ahead is uncertain, the innovative spirit that underpins the Terra community and the broader crypto ecosystem suggests that experimentation with algorithmic stablecoins is far from over. In conclusion, Terra 2.0 represents both a cautionary tale and a beacon of hope for the crypto world. It underscores the need for caution and rigorous testing in the deployment of complex financial mechanisms, while also showcasing the potential for recovery and reinvention. As the crypto ecosystem continues to navigate the aftermath of the Terra incident, the future of algorithmic stablecoins hangs in the balance, with their ultimate fate likely to be determined by the collective efforts of developers, users, and regulators to address the challenges and harness the opportunities presented by this innovative financial technology.The Evolution of Algorithmic Stablecoins: Terra's Impact and What's Next for Decentralized FinanceTerra (LUNA) and the Future of Algorithmic Stablecoins In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, the quest for stability amidst volatility has given rise to an innovative class of digital assets known as stablecoins. Among these, algorithmic stablecoins have emerged as a groundbreaking solution, aiming to maintain a stable value without the direct backing of fiat currency or commodities. Terra (LUNA), a prominent player in this field, has significantly impacted the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, demonstrating both the potential and the challenges inherent in algorithmic stablecoin systems. Terra's approach to achieving price stability is distinct from traditional stablecoins, which are typically pegged to a fiat currency and backed by reserves of that currency or other assets. Instead, Terra utilizes a dual-token system where its stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), maintains its peg to the US dollar through an algorithmic process that involves the contraction and expansion of its supply, facilitated by its sister token, LUNA. When UST's price deviates from its peg, the system incentivizes users to either burn UST to mint LUNA or vice versa, thus restoring equilibrium. This innovative mechanism has garnered significant attention, as it offers a decentralized alternative to fiat-collateralized stablecoins, which are often criticized for their reliance on traditional financial systems. Terra's success in maintaining a stable peg while fostering a vibrant ecosystem of DeFi applications has showcased the potential of algorithmic stablecoins to revolutionize the way we think about digital currency. However, the journey of Terra and other algorithmic stablecoins has not been without turbulence. The DeFi sector has witnessed

instances where these mechanisms have been put to the test, leading to periods of intense volatility and raising questions about the long-term viability of such systems. Concerns about regulatory scrutiny, the robustness of the underlying algorithms, and the ability to maintain stability under extreme market conditions have been at the forefront of discussions within the crypto community. Despite these challenges, the future of algorithmic stablecoins remains a topic of keen interest. Innovators in the space are continuously refining their models, learning from past experiences, and exploring new ways to enhance the resilience and efficiency of these digital assets. The potential benefits of a successful algorithmic stablecoin are substantial, offering a decentralized, scalable, and potentially more democratic form of stable digital currency. As the DeFi ecosystem evolves, it is likely that we will see further experimentation with different models of algorithmic stablecoins. These may include hybrid systems that combine algorithmic mechanisms with partial collateralization or novel approaches to governance and monetary policy that leverage the unique capabilities of blockchain technology. The lessons learned from Terra's implementation will undoubtedly inform the development of future projects, contributing to a more mature and sophisticated DeFi landscape. In conclusion, Terra (LUNA) has played a pivotal role in the evolution of algorithmic stablecoins, highlighting both the promise and the perils of this innovative approach to digital currency. As the DeFi sector continues to expand and adapt, the insights gained from Terra's experience will be invaluable in shaping the future of decentralized finance. With careful consideration of the risks and a commitment to ongoing innovation, algorithmic stablecoins may yet realize their potential as a cornerstone of a new financial paradigm.Q&A1. What led to the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and its stablecoin UST? The collapse of Terra (LUNA) and its stablecoin UST in May 2022 was primarily due to a loss of confidence leading to a 'bank run' scenario. UST was an algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the US dollar through a mechanism that allowed users to swap UST for LUNA at a guaranteed price. When large amounts of UST were sold off, the mechanism could not maintain the peg, leading to hyperinflation of LUNA as more of it was minted to absorb UST. This devaluation spiraled out of control, causing both assets to crash. 2. What are the challenges facing the future of algorithmic stablecoins post-Terra (LUNA) collapse? Post-Terra collapse, algorithmic stablecoins face several challenges: - **Regulatory scrutiny**: Governments and financial authorities are more likely to impose strict regulations on stablecoins to prevent systemic risks. - **Loss of investor confidence**: The failure of UST has led to skepticism about the viability of algorithmic stablecoins, making it harder for new projects to gain trust. - **Technical and economic model viability**: The collapse highlighted flaws in the design of some algorithmic stablecoins, necessitating more robust and resilient economic models to prevent similar failures. - **Competition from fiat-backed stablecoins**: Algorithmic stablecoins must compete with fiat-collateralized stablecoins, which are perceived as more stable due to their tangible reserves. 3. What innovations or improvements could potentially stabilize future algorithmic stablecoins? To stabilize future algorithmic stablecoins, several innovations or improvements could be considered: - **Improved collateralization**: Introducing or increasing collateral with other assets could help buffer against volatility and maintain the peg. - **Dynamic monetary policies**: Implementing more sophisticated algorithms that can react to market conditions in real-time to adjust supply and demand. - **Circuit breakers**: Incorporating mechanisms that can temporarily halt trading or conversions to prevent panic selling and extreme volatility.

- **Transparency and audits**: Regular audits and transparent operations can build trust with users and investors. - **Diversified governance**: Ensuring that decision-making is distributed among stakeholders to avoid concentration of power and improve the response to crises.ConclusionConclusion: The collapse of Terra (LUNA) and its associated algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) in May 2022 has raised significant concerns about the viability and stability of algorithmic stablecoins. The incident highlighted the risks inherent in the design of such cryptocurrencies, which attempt to maintain a peg to another asset, like the US dollar, through algorithms and smart contracts rather than through reserves of the asset they are pegged to. The future of algorithmic stablecoins is uncertain. On one hand, the failure of Terra has led to increased scrutiny from regulators and investors, who may now be more cautious about the risks associated with these types of digital assets. On the other hand, the innovative nature of blockchain technology and the potential benefits of decentralized financial systems may drive continued experimentation and development in the space. For algorithmic stablecoins to gain widespread trust and adoption, they will likely need to address the issues of transparency, governance, and robustness of their stabilization mechanisms. This could involve incorporating lessons learned from the Terra incident, such as the importance of having sufficient reserves or alternative stabilization methods that do not solely rely on confidence and network effects. In conclusion, while the Terra (LUNA) collapse has cast doubt on the current models of algorithmic stablecoins, the concept may evolve with improved designs and regulatory frameworks, potentially leading to more resilient and trustworthy iterations in the future. However, the path forward will require careful navigation of the complex interplay between technology, economics, and regulation.

MACD bull cross is established when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, then a bullish trend may be expected. The same kind of crossover in the past helped to estimate the level of ETH/BTC and determine that investors’ confidence in Ethereum in comparison with Bitcoin increases, investment in altcoins, interest in them.The ETH/BTC pair is expected to give another MACD bullish cross according to Mags. If it comes through in that form, this development can ignite a good altcoin run in the market which resembles the last cycle.
