the L1 Task Force recently announced their plans to take the blockchain into &ldquo;maintenance mode&rdquo; for Q4 to handle blockchain and dApp issues &ndash; LUNC&rsquo;s outlook is dire.Hardly anyone in the crypto space trusts or takes any project with &ldquo;Terra Luna&rdquo; in its name seriously in wake of the 2022 collapse that cost investors billions.As per <a href="https://defillama.com/chain/Terra%20Classic">DeFi Llama</a>, Terra Luna Classic&rsquo;s trade value locked (TVL), the dollar value of crypto locked in smart-contracts on the blockchain, was last a paltry $1.46 million &ndash; virtually nothing.At its peak, prior to the spectacular crash in May 2022, the blockchain was home to a TVL of close to $35 billion.The blockchain&rsquo;s lack of TVL emphasises how it has essentially become a pariah blockchain that nobody is using, or wants to use.Sadly, LUNC appears to have sadly fallen into the classification of being a &ldquo;shitcoin&rdquo;.It makes sense then that price predictions for LUNC remain highly bearish, even if the broader crypto market is expected to rise in the months ahead.Assuming LUNC continues to find resistance at its major moving averages, which has more or less been the case for all of 2023, the shitcoin is highly likely to hit its all-time lows around $0.000044, which would mark a more than 20% drop from current levels.<figure class="image"><img src="https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/lunc.jpg" srcset="https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_1787_735.jpg 1787w, https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_1200_494.jpg 1200w, https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_900_370.jpg 900w, https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_720_296.jpg 720w, https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_600_247.jpg 600w, https://cimg.co/news/126649/334416/responsive-images/lunc___media_library_original_300_123.jpg 300w" width="1787" class="content-img" alt=""></figure><h2 id="strong-crypto-alternatives-to-consider-strong">Crypto Alternatives to Consider</h2>With Terra Luna Classic (LUNC)&rsquo;s outlook dire, crypto investors should consider other investments.For those looking for an even better probability of near-term gains, an alternative high-risk, high-reward investment strategy to consider is getting involved in crypto&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/best-crypto-presales.htm">presales</a>.This is where investors buy the tokens of upstart crypto projects to help fund their development.These tokens are nearly always sold cheaply, and there is a long history of presales delivering huge exponential gains to early investors.Many of these projects have fantastic teams behind them and a great vision to deliver a revolutionary crypto application/platform.If an investor can identify such projects, the risk/reward of their presale investment is very good.The team at Cryptonews spends a lot of time combing through presale projects to help investors out.Here is a list of 13 of what the project deems as the best crypto presales of 2023.<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/new-cryptocurrency.htm">See the 13 Cryptocurrencies</a>Disclaimer: Crypto is a high-risk asset class.
