What if LUNC’s Angels Had Stepped In to Save It?
When Terra Classic (LUNC) collapsed in May 2022, it felt like the end.
About 6.49 trillion coins were in circulation, and the price plunged to its historical bottom of around $0.00001675.
At that moment, an idea came to me. An idea: “If I had $1B, I would have tried to save it.”I didn’t have that kind of money then, and I don’t have it now – all I had was the idea.
The Angels’ Plan
Imagine if 5 LUNC angels – major investors – had acted together:
Total bought: ~6.391 trillion LUNC.
Kept: only 1.1 billion LUNC in total (220M each).
Burned: ~6.39 trillion coins.
Result: from 6.49 trillion coins, only 10–100 billion would remain in circulation – a deflationary supply that could have reset the entire market dynamic.
How Much Would It Have Cost?
At the crash bottom ($0.00001675/LUNC): about $107M for the entire rescue plan.
At €0.00005 (a later level): about €320M.
Even at higher levels (0.0001–0.0002 €), the cost would have been between €600M and €1.3B.
So, with $1 billion in capital, the plan would have been fully achievable.
Why This Wouldn’t Be Manipulation
The angels would have kept only a tiny fraction of the coins.Over 99% of what they bought would have been burned.
The outcome wouldn’t be artificial pumping – it would be deflationary value for everyone in the community.
It would have been more of a rescue and co-creation than market manipulation.
It’s important to be clear: HODLing doesn’t accelerate burns.
Coins sitting still don’t move.
If they don’t move, they don’t burn.
Burns come from circulation and transactions, not from holding.
So while the angels’ plan could have delivered the shock burn, long-term success would still have depended on active use and ecosystem growth.
Conclusion
If there had been 5 “LUNC angels,” they could have burned ~6.39 trillion coins out of 6.49 trillion, leaving only tens of billions in circulation – and giving Terra Classic a completely new, deflationary life.
