I'm proud of my team and this manifesto. It's the distillation of many years of work: the simplicity on the other side of complexity.
In short, we believe in three fundamental rights for nonprofits:
1. Financial self-sufficiency
2. Equal opportunity
3. Organizational autonomy
🌟 We’re excited to introduce the Better Giving Manifesto! A powerful declaration supporting nonprofits in their pursuit of financial independence and equal opportunity. Read it here:

. All my eggs are in this basket. I've never regretted that decision, and I don't start today.
No one said the road to sovereign money would be easy. $UST will stabilize. $LUNA will rise.
4/ The key question with a fork is what value would it now hold without $UST?
A Terra fork built...
🔹by builders
🔹for the community
🔹around social impact
🔹with a strong ecosystem of dApps ready to hit the ground running
...now that, THAT has value. And my support 💪

1/ I support a fork that re-allocates the 35% of supply currently allocated to marginal $LUNA & $UST buyers (those who purchased after peg broke) over to builders & a social impact fund.
The old chain will remain. Those who've purchased recently don't need reimbursement.
1/ Who wants to help me develop a

charity protocol called "The Gift"? The unspoken end of the name is "...that keeps on giving". It integrates Anchor functionality of 20% yield, puts all charity contributions into earn, and pays 15% annual yield to the chosen charity

Yes, the old chain will be kept alive and that's why I don't understand why allocation would be given to people specifically who bought post-peg. Simply airdrop based on final snapshot of $LUNA & $UST holders before peg broke, plus builders & social impact allocations.

@terra_money

Fire forges the finest steel. Fire burns away brush to allow ecosystems to flourish. What matters most is how well you talk through the fire.
ok here is how the $luna $ust attack was coordinated & executed. 🧵 (quoted from a friend)
- attacker OTC accumulated $1bn of UST
- borrowed $3bn in $btc
- spread around some fud about peg and bank runs
- dumped the fuck out of their $3bn $btc on market to trigger wider panic
Can you imagine if
@terra_money
had a yield farm aggregator? What a massive void left in the ecosystem. If only there was someone, somewhere, who could help fill it...

You missed your first opportunity for an easy 10-100x on $Luna anon. Knowing what we know now, with so much still to come, are you really going to pass on your second?
Thesis unchanged. Keep your head up and your mind sharp. Acknowledge your emotions but don’t let them rule you.
1/ I'm building in this space because I believe in Web3. I believe in the power of humanity, harnessed through decentralized finance & incentive aligned DAOs. I believe the legacy institutions and economic paradigms have failed us.
The last time people tried to change the future of France, they brought out the guillotine.
Worry not about bureaucrats threatening paperwork and lawsuits now.
They don’t decide the future. We build it.

I am hopeful that they'll be made whole at some point in this process. Any support in making this case is appreciated 🙏
I really can't say enough about the
@galactic_punks

Beyond their expert community building & roadmap, they've donated multiple GP for charity & built
@angelprotocol

Galactic is an understatement

@galactic_punks

2/ Builders need allocation because runways were devastated, and they're the main draw of any fork.
Providing recovery relies on new speculative money coming in. A fork has no value without a healthy ecosystem of dApps, especially without $UST.
Big shoutout to

🔹Terra Money: Social impact is coded into our smart contract DNA🔹
3a/ A social impact fund that includes staking for charitable yield would create a generative giving engine that provides a new unique selling proposition:
@terra_money
as a social impact chain.
There are already over 100 members of the

joined in a giving pledge.
Looking to support a new
@terra_money
protocol focused on promoting Random Acts of Kindness (RAKs)? Take a look at Tyth and consider giving their idea an upvote on Spacecamp! This is a team I've talked with and believe in.
7/ Over the past year:
🔹$6.4M was raised for charity
🔹100+ businesses joined a giving pledge
🔹165+ charities were onboarded to Web3
Our vision has merit.

We'll never get rid of dog coins. And if you can't beat them: why not support the one that kicks back to charity, has the cutest logo, burned their LP tokens, and have solid devs building out long-term?

A decentralized society requires a decentralized charitable solution.
