Things that are perceived as having the strongest peg also see much less stress testing of their peg. That’s why a 3B safety net can yield much more than 3B in cost savings, because of the psychological impact that leads to way less stress tests in perpetuity.

But, using these kind of one-off solutions to build a reserve is a huge miss because it still undermines the belief in the system’s sustainability if you leverage ICO funds to build it. It inspires much greater confidence if you sustainably built a reserve from protocol fees.

TL;DR

is centralized and funded by ICO money which is inherently unsustainable, violating the two most important tenets of a decentralized algostable.

I didn’t see

clarifying anywhere that the reserve was built using ICO money, and he gets super defensive if you want to write a thread about where the money came from that’s longer than a tweet.

Did you replace my explanation with a literal stream of consciousness and call it better? Useless iwo

Hey Eric, couple of clarifications: First, the reserve is not funded through an initial coin offering, unless you mean the luna we are holding is an “ICO” Terra only raised 32M or so from funds before network launch, and don’t think this money made a meaningful contribution

Second, I am not sure you know where the right places to look for content in the Terra community, but tweet replies to adam beck is not usually where you can get the best information - hope you agree. Thesse are better flipsidecrypto.xyz/terra/lfg flipsidecrypto.xyz/terra/lfg-netw

Third, while the reserve is bootstrapped from our donation, bitcoin will be purchased through ongoing usage of Terra seigniorage - the notes for this is in Terra’s main research forum, agora:

These are the wallet addresses currently being held by the reserve: BTC: bc1q9d4ywgfnd8h43da5tpcxcn6ajv590cg6d3tg6axemvljvt2k76zs50tv4q ERC-20: receiving address: 0xAd41BD1cf3Fd753017Ef5c0da8dF31A3074EA1Ea Terra: terra1gr0xesnseevzt3h4nxr64sh5gk4dwrwgszx3nw

In terms of UST seigniorage being used in the future to buy btc, just as usdt seigniorage used to increase bank reserves, was discussed in my spaces with udi, and my recent podcast sprint across unchained, etc - i think i explained how things work pretty well

Thanks, this is much better than our previous altercation. I will check out all of this. In the meantime: > the reserve is not funded through an initial coin offering, unless you mean the luna we are holding is an “ICO” All of

’s wealth came from TFL’s ICO allocation…

The information is there if you know where to look - I promise to not hold your tweet storms to journalistic standards, if you don’t hold my tweet replies as full expositions of our reserve strategy, and give other channels a good look

I like to say things that are true and well informed, and i think after all this we can both agree this is neither of those things: But you know, you do you

Don’t mean to be a party pooper but I think Terra is making a mistake to use LUNA funds that originated from the ICO to build the @LFG_org reserve. The goal of $UST is to be (i) decentralized and (ii) sustainable. This reserve is neither of those two things.
