47% drawdown from the 52w high and they call it a HOLD? i mean yeah the buyback pressure is real but thats a lot of pain to sit through
The 10000 deployment plan makes sense if you trust the Dai Peg Stability Module revenue. MKR buybacks have been consistent, just slow.
47.6% drawdown from the 2951 high and they call it HOLD? feels generous tbh
stage 3 topping with 5 bull and 4 bear factors is basically a coin flip. why even publish this
calling HOLD at -47% is wild. either its a value play or its not, pick a side
Aino R. calling HOLD at 47 percent drawdown isnt wild if you actually read the PSM revenue numbers. dai is still the third biggest stablecoin by mcap
bought at 2900 in March. this 1547 price hurts but the Endgame restructuring could actually fix the tokenomics. hodling
MKR at 1547 when DAI is still the 3rd biggest stablecoin by mcap. the protocol prints fees, token just needs a reason to move
^ but Endgame transition makes the tokenomics way more complicated than just dai fees
MKR at 1547 down 47 percent from 2951 ATH. the HOLD thesis makes sense if you believe the subDAO rollout actually drives revenue
52 percent drawdown on a governance token with real protocol revenue is rough. sky migration diluted the brand and nobody knows what MKR actually controls anymore
