​Don't call it a come back (seriously, don't)

Ooooof course this is happening.

(We should have seen it coming, it's GameStop all over again).

Who could forget Terra Luna?

It's the token that's largely credited for triggering 2022's crypto market crash, after it lost 99.9% of its value back in May.

...and it's currently up 1000% since June, making it the best performing token of Q3.

With a price and reputation as battered as Luna's (now known as 'Luna Classic,' or LUNC), even the slightest whiff of good news can move the needle.
