A Glimpse into Proposal 1164

Let’s take a closer look at Do Kwon’s ambitious Proposal 1164, unveiled by the Terra Money Twitter account. Launched to tackle the chaos of Terra USD (UST), this proposal aims at expanding the base pool of UST to better balance its often tumultuous algorithmic nature.

The Votes Are In!

With a whopping 220,000 votes backing the initiative—over 50% expressing support—it’s clear that the community is engaged. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, can we really trust the masses? Perhaps they’d elect a dog as their mascot if it meant a price pump!

Understanding the Supply Overhang

The presence of a “supply overhang” has been critically highlighted. Essentially, this means there’s buzzing around more UST than the system can handle, which has caused LUNA to experience a rather sad price depreciation. Kwon’s approach? Well, it’s reminiscent of my last family reunion: it involves a lot of burning—UST, that is.

Emergency Measures in Play

To counteract this financial fiasco, three key emergency actions are set to be implemented:

• Burning any remaining UST in the community pool.
• Burning the remaining 371 million UST cross-chain on Ethereum.
• Staking 240 million $LUNA to provide some backbone against potential governance attacks.

While some might say, “A million here, a million there, pretty soon we’re talking real money,” others are left scratching their heads, wondering if 240 million LUNA can really do the trick.

The Agora Proposal Vote and Community Reactions

The Agora Proposal vote is just around the corner, and with expectations that the total amount of UST burned could hit 1.4 billion, it feels like Terra is throwing a bit of a farewell party for some of its liabilities—but is this the right move?

Amidst the chaos, skeptics are quick to note that this could just accelerate a “death spiral” of both LUNA and UST. It’s like watching your favorite drama unfold on television, complete with all the unexpected twists! Will they save the day or spiral into oblivion?

The Community’s Mixed Response

Reactions are decidedly mixed; while some cheer for the burn efforts, others worry that Kwon’s strategies will merely exacerbate existing issues. One user even noted how they might need to stake a lot more than 240 million LUNA to restore any sense of normalcy to this beleaguered ecosystem, much like how you might need more than just caffeine to get through Monday morning.

As the community holds its collective breath, we wait to see whether Do Kwon and his team can pull off a miraculous recovery—or if Terra’s troubles are just beginning. Will they emerge as heroes, or will we witness history repeating itself in crypto’s own tragic tale?
