“The Cosmos Hub itself had little risk exposure, yet outsiders will conflate Terra=Cosmos. This is not the case. Cosmos is general purpose technology that provides communities with great power…”

He added,

“It’s also a good time to recognize how resilient and secure the @cosmos technology is. Terra put the @cosmos technology
