LUNA went from $119 → almost $0 Wiping out $60+ BILLION in market value.
One of the most brutal collapses in crypto history. 💀
From peak euphoria to total destruction: 📉 $LUNA fell all the way to ~$0.00008 📉 UST lost its peg and spiraled into chaos 📉 Billions in retail wealth vanished in days
It didn’t happen randomly.
⚠️ May 7, 2022: $375M UST withdrawals triggered panic ⚠️ Death spiral began as confidence broke ⚠️ Within a week, UST hit ~0.10 ⚠️ LUNA went effectively to zero ⚠️ Terra blockchain was temporarily halted
And the most important lesson?
Smart money exits first. Retail holds the bag.
The harsh truth: If yield looks *too good to be true* — it usually is.
