Cardano founder shares critical lessons to learn in the wake of UST collapse
Cryptocurrencies dropped alongside the equities market after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported higher than expected consumer prices for April. Investors also considered bearish news from the Terra project as LUNA token crashed to lows of $0.01 on May 12 following the stablecoin UST collapse.
ADA consequently plunged more than 25% to touch lows of $0.39 on May 12, as seen on Coinbase. Cardano traded at $0.461 at the time of publication.
If this is your first cryptowinter, then welcome. Been through many since 2011 and they always hit like a cold ice bath. We are in the panicked blood in the street phase. It clears in weeks to months as a bottom is found. Then a long climb up the ladder https://t.co/R1QMF0NgRI

According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, the cryptocurrency market may have entered a bear market. He says in a recent tweet, "If this is your first crypto winter, then welcome. Been through many since 2011 and they always hit like a cold ice bath. We are in the panicked blood in the street phase. It clears in weeks to months as a bottom is found. Then a long climb up the ladder."
He also shares on the UST collapse: "The rumors floating around about how Luna collapsed so quickly all converge to the same reality that every defi protocol and cryptocurrency face: There is a massive attack surface from hackers to traders. If there is an exploit, then someone will find it and break it."
