Re <<Casper>>
I first got into Casper coingecko.com during my Cape Town Covid lockdown days Message 33254001 , say March 2020 private sales and again in Hong Kong Covid lockdown days, say March 2021, and then added post ICO along the way as it ramped and cratered. At most I sold ~5% and later added back, for trading exercise. My cost basis is 0.0334 dropping hourly due to staking yield, and my whole-family cost basis is $0.0369, dropping hourly due to same staking yield (~10% per annum).
I have been tracking Casper from the Get-Go in a consistent way per my view of the blockchain 'thing' Message 33593850
There was a moment, and just a moment when CSPR was at $1.35+ and at that moment I felt wonderful even as I was unable to sell because of lockup terms of the private-sale. If I remember correctly I felt my NAV had doubled, and the doubling part was yield at 8-9% per annum.
I think I understand what Casper is trying to do. I see progress. I understand its tentative nature. I remain enthusiastic even as its price cratered along w/ many blockchains to -97%. I remember Amazon's early days when it cratered along with most Internet adorables.
I think / hope / trust Casper shall be more dear 12 months from now than now, and should such be so, so much better. I have Casper on my books at -0-, and am pre-numbed against pain, enabling every decision to add / subtract a pure distilled decision based on I information at that moment.
Casper went ICO at around the same time as ICP (internet computer) and Mina. I had owned a little bit of ICP and Mina but only enough to pilot-light curiosity to watch their respective publicity videos.
I view the issue of 'chances' for success by market capitalisation, in that should Casper reach the market cap of ICP now, Casper would do a 4X, and at 4X I would be more of a diamond-hand HODL than I am today. I understand we are in cryptoIceAge Message 34306525 , and appreciate such is so.
At the overarching market cap level, it was likely that Mina would have and did come down in valuation to meet Casper valuation, and it remains likely that the valuations of ICP and Casper / Mina shall meet, either with the latter two moving up or the former coming down.
In the extreme, all three might meet at -0-
