The project’s Discord community was despondent in response.
“Whatever they do, they need to bring in the A team, people from the big leagues that know what the f*ck to do in a crisis,” said Kenboi_Ninja in the #general chat (where users have been restricted to one post per hour). “We need Sean Connery from The Rock level nerves and determination rn. Anything is possible in the space with the right people, good ideas and capital. Make it happen Terra. See ya in an hour.”
LUNA was priced at around $0.008 at the time the network was halted. UST was at $0.19.
