22% win rate over 59 trades… and they still published a deployment plan. the backtest is literally telling you not to touch this
ibc_fatigue_ 22% win rate and they still wrote it up with a straight face. thats actually more honest than most analysis posts that just say buy and hold
ibc_fatigue_ 22pct win rate and they still published. thats actually refreshing honesty compared to most analysis pieces that cherry pick winning scenarios
Matei D. appreciate the honesty on the 22% win rate. most analysis just says number go up. ATOM has been a short sellers dream though
the DCA 12-buy scenario only lost 41% vs 49% buy and hold, that’s actually meaningful for something this far off its high
$12,865 from $35k. imagine watching your portfolio do that over 2 years while btc basically did the same thing
86% drawdown from 10.64 to 1.47 and the SELL rating is almost redundant at this point. ATOM is a short sellers dream that kept giving for 4 years
1.47 with a 52w high of 10.64. ATOM is down 86% and the IBC narrative is completely dead. Cosmos Hub missed the appchain transition
ibc_refugee_2026 86pct drawdown and the IBC thesis is dead. Cosmos Hub gave away the tech and kept nothing. Celestia dYdX Injective all forked and none needed ATOM
staked_atom_42 the hub literally gave away its only competitive moat. Cosmos SDK became the open source gift that keeps on taking
86pct drawdown from 10.64 to 1.47 and they still rated it SELL. at some point the ship has sailed on its own honestly
Sanghoon P. the SELL call at $1.47 is almost comedic. whats the downside from here, another 86pct to $0.20? the analysis was right 3 years ago not now
Celestia alone having a higher market cap than ATOM after forking IBC is the most brutal outcome for Cosmos Hub. built the tech, gave it away, kept nothing
Hanna L. and the kicker is TIA launched on the Cosmos SDK and outgrew the hub that built the rails. The student surpassed the teacher while the teacher kept paying rent on the lab
Celestia dYdX Injective all forked IBC and ATOM got nothing for it. the hub tax really worked out great lol
staked_atom_42 Celestia dYdX Injective forking IBC and giving nothing back is the open source tragedy. Cosmos Hub built the highway and forgot to collect tolls
staked_atom_42 Celestia alone is worth more than ATOM. the hub literally incubated competitors that forked IBC and left the token holding nothing
86pct drawdown from 10.64 to 1.47. even holding through 2018 btc winter felt less brutal than this
drawdown_survivor 86% drawdown makes BTC winters look mild. ATOM holders been bleeding since 2021 with no recovery narrative left
35k deployment plan on a SELL call with 86pct drawdown. at this point the capital preservation move is just close the position and stop the bleeding
Tomislav R. 35k at 1.47 vs 52w high of 10.64. the deployment plan probably has DCA levels that will never trigger because price only goes one direction for ATOM
22pct win rate is brutally honest. most analysis posts just delete their bad calls. respect for keeping it up even if the trade thesis was wrong
airdropped TIA farmers made more than ATOM holders who funded the whole IBC stack. the hub taxed nothing, celestia taxed everything. brutal but true
