UPDATE
The Terra blockchain was resumed after a patch, about an hour later.
Then about 8 hours after resuming, there was this:
The Terra blockchain has officially halted at block 7607789.
Terra Validators have halted the network to come up with a plan to reconstitute it.
More updates to come.

And, ... it's gone!!
Likely for good.
Arthur Hayes (BitMEX) just put out another great post, and timely as it is about stablecoins, mostly relating to Luna / Terra, and is worth a read:
The death spiral is no joke. This is a complete confidence game. It’s a confidence game akin to the current debt-based fractional banking system; however, this game does not have governments who can coerce usage of the system with the threat of mortal violence.

It ded.
What bothers me is that it's bagholders/fans are apparently so unbelievably stupid that they're still trying to make it go up again rather than bothering to go find a better coin.
The world is absolutely full of idiots that support scams. Anything honest and rational is like bug repellent to these fools.

I believe there were only 130 validators on Terra last time I checked - plausible that they coordinated this. Mind boggling that greed made people use such a system.
