Differences between Investing vs Trading
Terra is a decentralized blockchain protocol that allows users to manage, trade, and mint stablecoins, the price of which can be tied to any fiat currency of your choosing. The Terra platform also generates two very similar cryptocurrencies: TERRA and LUNA. Both are so-called algorithmic stablecoins that, although not backed by any fiat currency, can be tied to that currency automatically, meaning that their fortunes are directly linked to those of the US Dollar.
Terra is a highly complex system, in which "validators" who use it attempt to manage and reduce day-to-day volatility through transaction fees and seigniorage. These validators are paid a small fee for every transaction that is completed on the Terra network. Luna Coin tends to be stable, although it has experienced some dramatic price rises in recent months, as well as some drops.
Luna coin spent much of its history as a low-price coin, languishing well below a dollar until 2021. However, this is where things changed. As the Terra network was more widely adopted and became more closely integrated with the booming NFT market, the price of Luna Coin shot up.
At the end of 2021, one Luna Coin was hovering close to 100 USD, a near 100x increase from the beginning of that year. It rose again past 116 USD in the April of 2022 but has since fallen back somewhat, with some dramatic lows and highs in between.
Although Luna Coin was, by definition, meant to be a stablecoin, things have changed since 2021. The coin has experienced a much greater level of volatility, which has arguably made it more attractive to traders looking to exploit those constant price changes. However, its unique algorithm is designed to automatically manage and temper volatility, which means that this might not be the case forever.
Luna Coin can be used across all blockchains, which also makes it a good choice for investors and traders alike, while the transaction fees are some of the lowest around. However, big questions remain about whether the Terra network upon which Luna Coin depends will actually be adopted more widely, as Ethereum continues to be a key competitor in this area. This is something that potential long-term investors should think carefully about.
