That's a short tweet and those who read the docs understand the tweet glosses over the mechanics. UST is backed by BTC reserves as much as $ is backed by gold in Fort Knox. Maybe in a way, but the gold conversion window closed and there never was a UST to BTC conversion window. UST has convertibility by burning it at $1 into LUNA. Anchor protocol 20% did not seem sustainable. I looked into this contraption and stayed away from all of it. In hindsight, of course it all seems obvious.
