Relief Rally Beyond Expectations On Thursday, cryptocurrency trader Justin Bennett said on Twitter that the relief rally in apex coins would run “beyond most expectations.” Edward Moya of OANDA warned that the rebound “won’t last if risk appetite does not stabilize soon.”
Billy Markus Digs Into Tech Bros, Luna Co-Founder On Thursday, Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus criticized so-called tech bros for being in a bubble. He called Terra (LUNA) co-creator Do Kwon “tech bro of all tech bros.” Markus tweeted that he gets triggered each time he reads about LUNA and Terra USD (UST). The latter losing its peg brought forth the latest cryptocurrency crash.
DOGE On The Web Markus highlighted the vagaries of the cryptocurrency market by comparing DOGE/LUNA prices. He said that last week 1 LUNA could trade for 500 DOGE but at present, a single DOGE buys 2.7 LUNA.
“This isn’t dunking on terra, it’s an eye-opener that the crypto market can tank in an incredibly short period of time,” said the DOGE co-creator on Twitter.
