bought KAS at 0.18 last cycle, the blockDAG narrative was so strong. watching it bleed to 0.03 hurts lol
kaspa_2022_bag bought at 0.18 too. the blockDAG story was everywhere and now KAS is down 85%. at least the analysis is honest about the downside
kaspa_2022_bag blockDAG narrative was pure Twitter KOL marketing. GhostDAG sounded technical enough that nobody questioned whether it actually mattered
8 bear factors and 0 bull, that is as one-sided as it gets. the 47% win rate on backtest with -31.8% return says everything
Mikael L. 8 bear factors and 0 bull is basically the model screaming run. 47% win rate with -31.8% return means its been wrong and losing money simultaneously
Mikael L. 47% win rate with -31.8% return and 8 bear factors vs 0 bull. this model is basically just saying sell everything which in KAS case was correct
bro the targets literally say -100.0%. how is that a valid analysis lmao
dust_collector_ -100% target is just the model extrapolating the OBV trend to zero. aggressive but the 0.69 volume ratio confirms distribution not accumulation
DCA with 12 buys only lost 36% vs 41.9% lump sum. at these drawdown levels even DCA barely helps on KAS
0.69 volume ratio with OBV trending down for months. anyone buying KAS was fighting the trend not trading it
blockDAG narrative was Twitter KOL marketing disguised as tech. GhostDAG sounded cool enough that nobody checked if it mattered
47 percent win rate with negative 31.8 percent return. the model was right about KAS but still lost money on individual trades
