Re <<got ... panic ... Casper Pad ... buy ... scoop up ... buying ... pump and dump ... >>
(1) I love it all !
(1-i) I have been mixing it up on this Casper Hodlrs channel t.me
(1-ii) that Casper Market | Trading channel t.me , and
(1-iii) some other CasperPad channel t.me
(2) In longish summary, ...
(2-i) I went through ~3-hrs of subscribing to the Casper ICO, starting about 10-days ago
- set up an separate 'Casper Signer' 'wallet' for direct on-chain management of a side-pocket of Caspers (CSPRs) for direct staking off of CSPR.live to a validator of my choice. And yes, had to learn by doing to deal with Google Chrome browser extensions
- my main 'bag' is staked with friends who runs a node and has insurance for asset under management, as I did not want to learn what I have just had to learn in the past 72 hours
- my side-pocket of coins is under my direct control, meaning I would be responsible if any are lost, and staked with an outfit headed by a cyber friend who also does technical comparatives of CSPRs vs other chains
- the side-pocket staking allowed me to qualify for the top-tier allocation of CasperPad (CSPDs) casper-pad.com , and CSPD costing 0.008 per coin, launched on the Ethereum chain, shall allow me to qualify for top-tier on any projects they help to launch on the Casper Network (CSPD shall port over to CSPR once CSPR is featured on more exchanges and a particular upgrade is launched
(2-ii) I did ~3-hrs of paying for my CSPD, last night
- got a MetaMask wallet metamask.io and installed another Google Chrome extension, and no I do NOT want to use Chrome as my default browser. I like my Safari. I shall resist change. But yes, must use Google Chrome for everything crypto manipulation
- managed to connect my Casper Signer with CSPR.live chain, and my MetaMask to my Binance a/c. I had never used Binance other then (luckily) did some buys / sells of BTC / ETH long ago, and it turned out paying for the CSPD subscription had to be done via MetaMask set to Binance public chain mode (yeah, whatever that means)
(2-iii) I did ~3-hrs claiming my paid-for CSPD coins this morning. 5% of the CSPDs buy were unlocked immediately, and 95% over the next 5 months.
- I managed to transfer value from my Binance a/c standing-by, to my MetaMask, in the form of BUSD in the main, and BNB in the smidgeon (figured out I needed 'gas') to use as gas so everything moves around :0)
- swapped BUSDs into USDTs to pay for CSPDs all from within my MetaMask wallet
(2-iv) I did ~3-hrs to actually move the claimed-CSPDs from CasperPad to my MetaMask, and then tried wrongly via SushiSwap sushi.com followed by correct PancakeSwap pancakeswap.finance
and offloaded on the demanding public all but 100 coins of the 5% of the 55,250 coins I subscribed, paid, claimed, and moved, for $0.008 per coin, at $0.1707 per coin.
Meaning the other 95% are de-risked completely and free, to be kept as calling-card to subscribe to future projects CSPD shall help launch in CSPR. Let us see what the hive-mind domain / ecosystem dreams up to make our lives more interesting
(3) So, the entire exercise taking up 12-hours of my life is not about turning $442.5 into $454 + 52,590 CSPD coins so as to gain top-tier subscription right on future projects, but homework to learn by doing, signer, live chain, wallet, claim (when no claim button is provided in CSPD's haste to be the first dApp for CSPR chain (even if it had to launch on the Ethereum chain), and dEx PancakeSwap - I feel empowered, journeyed through a wormhole, emerged wealthier in knowledge and dollars, and ready to go go go further, faster, to where few have been before
(4) I got the impression, by sink-or-swim doing, and with my 39-years outdated BSEE / MSEE in quantum / optical / computer structures / antenna theory and MBA w/ special focus on option pricing / derivatives structuring, I spent phucking 12-hours! This crypto stuff is about on par with Internet 1991. Not 1993, '97, '99, and certainly not 2000-2001. This is early pioneer stuff.
(5) On MINA, I do not have any.
I understand it has some unique features. I do not want to FOMO into the thing given its relative valuation when I am having trouble valuing (no, scratch that, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO VALUE CSPR) CSPR.
(6) I do want to reiterate alert ... https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=33609272&srchtxt=Casper%20game re Casper and Gaming, and network / community
(7) Before signing off I had to check the current swap price of CSPD and pancakeswap.finance
Unfortunately, once I connected my wallet to unload my precious 100 residual coins from the first 5% of unlocking, I discovered the true transaction price, a mere 15.5X :0)
(8) Yes, I shall NOT sell any CSPR. I must filter out the noise. I must HODL true. And yes, I shall add again. |
