Terra Classic [LUNC] traders must pave way for bulls after this proposal

AmbcryptoPublicado em 2022-09-17Última atualização em 2022-09-17

Resumo

LUNC bottomed out at $0.00024 on 15 September, which represents a 59% pullback from the previous rally. A 30% drawdown from the price level at which we identified the short opportunity. The cryptocurrency’s current level previously demonstrated some resistance and may act as the next buy zone as demand recovers.

Terra Classic [LUNC] is among the more interesting cryptocurrencies that has been in our watch list especially in the first half of September. It has undergone a retracement since then as expected but there are still opportunities around this cryptocurrency.

""

About a week ago, LUNC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) demonstrated some weakness in the form of lower highs as the price soared. Thus, giving way for short opportunities. That was about a week ago when the price was at the $0.00035 price level but it soared higher before eventually giving way to the bears.

Ready to shift to a higher gear

""

The previous rally was triggered by LUNC’s 1.2% tax burn implementation. The next rally might require an equally important development and one might already be in the pipeline. This is courtesy of a new proposal that seeks reconnection with the Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.

""

Max Callisto, the author of the proposal, had this to say about the benefits of Terra Classic’s reconnection to the IBC protocol: “By enabling IBC, USTC & LUNC outside the Terra Classic chain will be able to find its way back to Terra Classic, thus, bringing back the liquidity to the chain for other uses.”

""

The development would facilitate an inflow of more demand and utility for both Terra Classic and the LUNC cryptocurrency. It would also support a healthy bounce back after the recent retracement.

""

LUNC is already showing signs of a bearish slow down after retesting the 50% RSI level. Its Money Flow Index (MFI) also suggested that LUNC flows have pivoted in favor of the bulls.

The cryptocurrency has been trading along a descending resistance line for the last few days. Enough buying volumes will allow LUNC to break through resistance.

""

Furthermore, LUNC’s volume tanked below $1 billion after previously peaking above $4 billion. However, its volume did metric did register a slight increase in the last 24 hours, accompanied by a bullish price spike.

LUNC’s development activity also took a hit in the last few days as prices dropped. A return of activity especially related to the IBC would be a healthy signal to support a sentiment shift.

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Most Profitable MEV Bot Gets Hacked

A well-known and highly profitable Ethereum MEV Bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, suffered a sophisticated on-chain attack this Saturday, losing over $7.5 million. Analysis by Blockaid and others reveals this was not a conventional phishing or smart contract exploit, but a targeted "counter-MEV honeypot attack." The attacker meticulously laid a trap over several weeks, deploying 66 fake token contracts and liquidity pools disguised as major assets like WETH and USDC. These pools created the illusion of arbitrage opportunities. The MEV Bot's automated system detected these signals, executed trades, and in the process, granted approval permissions to attacker-controlled contracts. These approvals were not revoked, creating a persistent vulnerability. The attacker then exploited this in a single transaction, draining the bot's ETH, USDC, and USDT holdings. Jaredfromsubway.eth is notorious as one of Ethereum's most active and profitable MEV Bots, primarily known for executing "sandwich attacks" to profit from transaction slippage. Estimates suggest it has earned tens of millions in MEV revenue. The incident highlights escalating crypto security threats, demonstrating that even top-tier automated "predators" are vulnerable to novel, logic-based attacks designed to exploit their own operational rules. Following the hack, an unverified X account impersonating Jaredfromsubway.eth emerged, falsely offering a bounty for the return of funds, prompting developer warnings for users to stay vigilant.

The Reality of Payments in Latin America Is Not What You Think

The payment landscape in Latin America is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by on-the-ground realities that challenge common perceptions. Based on over 500 hours of field research across the region, key insights emerge. Firstly, QR code payments, like Brazil's Pix, are becoming the dominant payment method in most emerging markets, overtaking cards. However, these domestic instant payment systems lack international interoperability, creating a significant gap for cross-border users. Secondly, the narrative around crypto cards is often misunderstood; their primary volume comes from high-net-worth professionals using them for salary conversions (e.g., USDT to local currency via Pix), not retail micro-payments. Competition in payments is shifting from customer acquisition to controlling the settlement layer, leading fintechs to acquire banking licenses for efficiency. Thirdly, treating "Latin America" as a single market is a mistake. Countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have distinct economic realities, user segments, and regulatory approaches. Brazil alone has at least five distinct user segments with different financial flows. Overlooked markets like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (the "forgotten five") offer high remittance volumes with lower competitive density. Finally, regulation in Latin America is often ahead of the US, with clearer frameworks for digital assets and a pragmatic approach from regulators focused on safety rather than obstruction. The margin on stablecoin forex is rapidly compressing toward zero, meaning future winners will be those building value-added services on top of the infrastructure, not just the cheapest exchange.

Making Music in a Bear Market: The Survival Experiment of a Bitcoin Band

"Orange Pill Jam: A Bitcoin Band's Survival in the Bear Market" Orange Pill Jam is a musical group exploring themes of financial sovereignty and privacy, born from the Bitcoin community. Formed after singer Mermaid performed her song "Dollar Apocalypse" at a 2022 conference, the band creates music intended for both Bitcoin enthusiasts and general audiences. Their creative process involves Mermaid writing lyrics and melodies, which producer/multi-instrumentalist Michi then shapes with a precise, rhythm-focused approach, often demanding numerous retakes to achieve his unique standard of timing. Their songs, like "Cypherpunks' Manifesto" and "Fire of Freedom," tackle concepts of digital privacy, the pitfalls of "free" services, and personal sovereignty, influenced by experiences in places like El Salvador. Despite operating in a crypto bear market with a Copyleft model (offering music for free sharing/remixing and accepting optional Bitcoin donations), they face practical challenges. Their growth is slow on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, which aren't optimized for their niche content. The band also navigates the rise of AI-generated music. While acknowledging AI's efficiency for certain tasks, they believe human creativity occupies a unique space that algorithms cannot replicate—the ability to create new genres and capture intangible rhythmic feeling. For Orange Pill Jam, the core argument for both Bitcoin in a downturn and human artistry in the AI age lies in this irreplaceable, intentional, and imperfectly human creative process. Their project persists as an anti-algorithm experiment, valuing the unquantifiable impact of music over scalable metrics.
