You just mint Luna at will. The problem occurs when the amount of Luna that trades for $1 becomes undefined because nobody is willing to do the trade anymore.

- pyinstallwoes 4y agoSo you’re saying it’s always been a contest of belief.
- rocqua 4y agoIt very definitely is.
- randomsearch 4y agoEh, but minting Luna increases the supply of Luna and thus devalues it, therefore a run means that the price of Luna increasingly drops as you mint more, meaning you have to mint more Luna, it heads to zero, you're dead. It's the opposite of stable, because a run actually accelerates itself. What am I missing here?
- Khoth 4y agoWhen the price drops, people on reddit start saying "buy the dip it's going to the moon!" to lure in some new marks. In the long run you're right though. Eventually you run out of people who believe them and you get the events of the last few days.
- wikfwikf 4y agoYou're not missing anything, that is literally how it works and the reason it is now failing.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoThe balance is ostensibly that you do get some tangible rewards for Luna. But when the expected value of those drops below the outstanding balance as well, you still have a death spiral.
