How SushiSwap [SUSHI] managed to pull a Terra before it was cool

ambcrypto.com:

Once valued at $119 at its highest, Terra today has three zeroes after the decimal before a number appears. Trading at $0.0001902, LUNA has lost 100% of its value this month.

This is despite the fact that 94.66% of them are far from witnessing profits any time soon.

This month SushiSwap only marked 26.8k new users, and only 32.5k old users were
