Terraform Labs co-founder and CEO Do Kwon returned to Twitter for the first time in two days to express sadness over the collapse of Terra's LUNA token and associated stablecoin, UST.
<h2><strong>Terra Founder Finally Speaks on the Whole Fiasco </strong></h2>
After being silent for the past few days as the Terra network goes into catastrophe, co-founder Do Kwon finally broke his social media silence early Friday evening with a series of tweets concerning the demise of the LUNA token and its related stablecoin, UST.

https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1525238416991891457
<blockquote>A few hours after <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/terra-founder-do-kwon-proposes-blockchain-revival-plan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposing</a> a “<em>Terra ecosystem revitalization plan”</em> to the network’s research forum, Kwon returned to Twitter for the first time in two days to say, “<em>I am heartbroken about the pain my invention has brought on all of you.”</em></blockquote>
He added that he had spent much of his time on the phone with those who <em>"have been devastated by UST depegging."</em>
<blockquote>A significant number of investors lost money on Terra's downfall, and while Kwon doesn't detail his own losses, he revealed, <em>"Neither I nor any institutions that I am affiliated with profited in any way from this incident. I sold no luna nor ust during the crisis."</em></blockquote>
<h2><strong>UST is Not Decentralized Money, Founder Says</strong></h2>
Luna, which was worth nearly $120 at the beginning of last month, collapsed in dramatic fashion this week trading at around $<span class="tw-text-gray-900 dark:tw-text-white tw-text-3xl"><span class="no-wrap" data-price-btc="0.00000000756697789958199" data-coin-id="8284" data-coin-symbol="luna" data-target="price.price" data-price-previous="0.00022288319257744192">0.0002</span></span> cents at the time of writing. Its sister stablecoin, UST too saw the same fate and is currently down 84.9% from this past week.
<blockquote><em>“I still believe that decentralized economies deserve decentralized money but it is clear that $UST in its current form will not be that money,</em>” he wrote in his tweet.</blockquote>
