“They sometimes trade for $20 because they don’t know it’s a stablecoin,” he explains. “They go, ‘You know, it was trading at $10, I bought it because it was pumping… I don’t know, I didn’t read, I just bought.’”
“So, I think that kind of tells you whether people knew what Terra was.”

Chainlink (LINK) looks poised for 25% price rally in the days leading up to its staking protocol launch, based on several fundamental and technical facto.
The staking feature, which will go live as v0.1 in beta mode on Dec. 6, comes as a part of the so-called "Chainlink Economics 2.0" that focuses on boosting LINK holders' reward-earning opportunities for "helping increase the crypto economic security" of Chainlink's oracle services.
Earlier, Chainlink users had to launch their own nodes to receive rewards in LINK tokens. The staking feature effectively opens new avenues for them to earn LINK rewards that could, in theory, boost demand for the token.
