5/ While this did not happen, allowing BTC to be redeemed against US on an onchain dex, we are just a few weeks away from a testnet launch developed by the
@astroport_fi
team. Until then, the LFG council decided to err on the side of caution.

7/ This will be an important opportunity for the terra and wider crypto community to gather empirical data on how LFG operates & fits into the Terra ecosystem. Observe over the next few days not on whether LFG chose to deploy reserves, but on how.

Don't you think you're being gamed here - Buying at far higher prices, then being forced to offload at far lower prices? What makes you think over time these reserves won't dwindle as you continue to benchmark against a spec asset such as BTC?

Well we minted UST with Luna, where the average price was $100 for the mint We bought bitcoin with it at average price of ~$41k or so Think it was not a bad trade?

Why not just buy tether or a basket of stables to backstop the UST price? You're backstopping a pegged asset with an unpegged speculative asset, and the point is that these systemic risks often play out at the same time that your speculative asset is at depressed prices

Because that would not be long term decentralized Why not just use Tether Regurgitated fiatcoins are not interesting
