So I heard about what happened a while back with terra luna going down and also the stablecoin. At the moment, what is the current price for the original terra luna and the stablecoin related to it? I remember at one point it was close to 100 dollars usd for the original coin but how much is it now?
Also, I heard there then became another terra luna coin and USTC? Can someone explain this to me? Now I also notice on coinmarket, the USTC went up a lot. I also notice a post about this as well. Does this mean right now you can buy and sell and thus trade these 2 coins at the moment? So wouldn't it be like the risk are low but the rewards are high because it already is very low? I thought I read like the stablecoin was something like $0.001 or something like that so if it goes up, well there is a ton of potential like you can 10x or 100x it? You can also lose 90% or 100% but if you don't put a lot of money on it... well isn't the amount you going to risk losing going to be very small compared to how much it goes up? Example you put $100 in both of these coins. The most you will lose is pretty much all of it so $200 total. But since it's so low if you double up even, you can just cash out. But not only that, you can probably 5x or 10x? Whereas if you go down 5x or 10x, well you the most you can lose is what you put in which is $100 each on terra luna and USTC each? I remember when that happened a while back, people said doesn't hurt to put money in terra luna and the stablecoin because it already dropped like 80%. But the point here is your returns can be many x the amount right?
Now which exchanges can you buy or sell this terra luna and USTC? Also these coins are completely different from the original terra luna 2 coins right? Can you buy/sell on coinbase or gemini or you need access to say binance or binance US? Would you have to use those decentralized exchanges like uniswap or pancakeswap for this? I never used any of these so no clue how they work.
There are so many questions there and I do not want to snip anyone, but I will summarize the replies based on my understanding.
First, be very careful in dealing with the Terra project, but still, it might earn you so much if you are an aggressive risk-taker. By the old USTC, you mean UST and the price is $0.01594 according to CoinDesk. Of which Terra is planning to burn more of it to make it more scarce, maybe it will help the Terra projects further, I can ascertain, however, burning often help coins/token to appreciate.
During the crypto bull run, I don't think there is any popular asset that will not have a share of the bull run, this is why we see the dead or almost-dead coins/tokens, including the Terra projects coming back to life. Although I knew that projects like LUNA and LUNC would appreciate due to halving and wanted to buy months ago. It's always like that. But be careful and do thorough research if you would buy them at all.
