While Bitcoin took two short dips (one a bit more substantial) under 30K due to the Terra/Luna fiasco, it was hit much less than I expected, taking into account that >50.000 BTC seem to have been sold by LFG alone (correct me if I'm wrong). But now Bitcoin's again at the same price level than before the issue.
So Bitcoin, even in some very adverse situations, seems to be more stable than even a big stablecoin. It's likely that once the final TUSD/Luna crash became apparent, a lot of money could have been moved into Bitcoin because it seemed the "less worse" of all coins (excluding exchanges which offer "true" fiat money and not only stablecoins).
I'm pretty convinced that if Bitcoin doesn't take again a very deep crash in the next days, it will come out strengthened by this episode. People may be looking more critical at centralized stablecoins and will instead, if they're gambling with altcoins, be more lenient to convert their profits into BTC, like it was popular before stablecoins became ubiquitous, and Bitcoin becoming again the "standard" of the crypto world
I do agree that bitcoin standard in a weird way is established right now but not proven to be working as intended just yet. I mean it could reach to that level eventually but we are not there yet, and if Tera recovers, if the UST is 1 dollar again, and Tera is back to what it was again, then we could say that bitcoin standard has been established there.So Bitcoin, even in some very adverse situations, seems to be more stable than even a big stablecoin.

I fear that it will not happen, there are too many whales with money who are trying their hardest to make sure that this doesn't happen, and that is a bad thing, but at the end of the day it is not impossible to achieve it even if it takes some time. This is what I am hoping for, if it happens then we are going to be fine.
