0 bull factors out of 9 and half my old group chat is still mining this on their phones. been saying mainnet changes everything since 2019 lol
^ the daily push notification from the mining app should count as bear factor number 10
lol the push still says mainnet soon like its 2021. i uninstalled the day the mining app served an ad for their own wallet. monetizing users who never withdrew anything, incredible
ads for their own wallet inside the mining app is the most honest thing Pi has ever shipped. monetizing people who literally cannot withdraw, incredible business model
7 years of tapping a fake button. at least in 2019 there was a story, now its just sunk cost with a push notification
mainnet changes everything since 2019 lmao. my cousin still taps that lightning button every morning, six years, zero withdrawals, pure faith
six years of tapping with zero withdrawals is honestly the most committed DCA plan in crypto. sad it pays out in nothing
Down 43% in a year while BTC did +20% over the same window. A 50d/200d crossover system would have kept you flat the whole time, that is the whole lesson here.
crossover keeps you flat through every 40% dead cat bounce too, thats the tradeoff. but 0 of 9 bull factors is as clean a sell as this template will ever print
Support 0.08, resistance 0.09, RSI 36 and no bounce. Deploying 12k into a 1 cent range with no buyers is just charity at this point.
showed a friend the sell call and the 43% yearly chart against BTC up 20 and she said its a long term project. you cannot fix sunk cost with a chart my guy
the long term project defense while its down 43% against btc up 20 is pure coping. 0 of 9 bull factors, the chart gave up before they did
you cannot fix sunk cost with a chart, accurate. and yet the title says 12k deployment plan like someone out there is seriously parking 12k in a 1 cent range with RSI 36
support 0.08 resistance 0.09 is not a range, its a waiting room. RSI 36 with no bounce and 9 bear factors, the SELL is doing charity work
Nine bear factors, zero bull factors, price at 0.08. Even the 50d/200d crossover section reads like a eulogy for everyone who mined since 2021 and never sold a single coin.
Pi at 0.08 against a 12,000 deployment plan is generous. Nine bear factors on one page and the entire adoption story is still a phone mining app.
