92% drawdown and they still print SELL like its hot news. anyone holding DOT since the highs already knows
92% drawdown from the 52w high and they still print SELL. who is selling DOT at 0.86 that hasnt already sold
rpc_widow_ right. the bear case on DOT was obvious at 6. at 0.86 youre just buying the obituary
macd bullish on the only green signal lol. one indicator vs five bearish, hard pass
^ literally been saying this. the parachain auction hype burned so much retail money its crazy
parachain auctions burned billions in retail cap and DOT still cant find a floor. the SELL rating is just kicking a dead token
DOT from 11.60 to 0.86 is a 92% drawdown. that is worse than most altcoins in this cycle. the SELL call was painfully correct
parachain auctions were supposed to be the killer use case. instead they became a token sink with zero price appreciation. DOT holders been bleeding for 2 years straight
35K deployment plan on a SELL rating takes serious conviction. most analysts hedge but Oliver put a hard number on it
