I will get a lot of hate for this.

I'm voting no on the Terra proposal to allow more mint & burn.

This proposal will not create exit liquidity, it will create an inflationary death spiral for $luna.

The people who delegated $luna to me will get dilluted to death.

2.

Terra as a blockchain has some value. There are a lot of innovatives protocols with great UI and UXs.

Right now $ust represents debt on that value. There's over $17B of debt.

It cannot possibly service that debt, it's mathematically impossible. It's bankrupted.
3.

Trying to do so will make $luna go to nothing.

It will diminish the value of every protocol built on it.

If there's no upsides & incentives, people will abandon them.
4.

$ust is debt, theses protocols are the only things of value right now. We need to protect them or it's all worthless.

When a company goes bankrupt, a proportion of the debt is forgiven. This needs to happen, aggressively.
5.

We need to create an obsolescence program for $ust and retire it.

People need to take a deep haircut while converting to $luna. Everyone can get the same share.

Otherwise it will all go do 0.
5.

At this point I feel a lot of people are selling opium and don't understand the risks involved with algo stables.

There are multiple examples of inflationary death spiral happening in the past. This isn't a theoritical.
6.

Eg. : If there's $5B of $ust that wants out, there needs to be $5B of exit liquidity. Not market cap. Liquidity.

Nobody has an incentive to bail out that much money.

$5B of buying power would create a $15B+ market cap blockchain. Think about it.
7.

If we strip $ust from the $luna, we can save theses protocols.

Everyone takes an equal haircut.

We could offer some redemption at a fixed proportion to everyone who wants it.

The current proposal is a certain death. It will lead $ust to a death spiral.
8.

The administrators need to protect their asses and make good on the promise that $1 ust = $1 of $luna.

This is good for them, not for $luna & $ust holders. It will not create exit liquidity out of thin air.
9.

IMO, the only way forward is if everyone gets dilluted and the mint and burn system is abandoned immediately for a proportional $luna redemption among every stake holder.

The only thing of value here is the L1. Nobody will trust $ust again and want fake incentives.
10.

This is drastic but there is no other path forward.
11.

If Do was really behind basis cash, he knows EXACTLY what happens next.

Keeping $ust redemptions at $1 of $luna fulfills the promise but...

If there is no exit liquidity for $luna, you're stuck with it and getting dilluted exponentially. This does not create demand at all

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
