87% drawdown from the highs and they still call it avoid. honestly anyone still holding RNDR from $11 is down so bad the only move left is wait or take the loss
1 bull factor out of 7 bear ones is brutal but distributed GPU rendering actually has real demand, unlike half the 2021 pump tokens. not buying more but not dumping at $1.49 either
stage 4 downtrend since last year and people still ask if its the bottom. system says avoid, charts say avoid, yet replies here sound like copium lol
87% drawdown and still rated avoid. anyone who bought the rnfr dip at 4 dollars is in worse shape now. wonder if breakeven is even possible before the next halving cycle
1 bull factor against 7 bear factors is brutal honesty from a system that usually hedges. respect for not sugarcoating it
the 52w high at 11.62 feels like a different lifetime. distributed GPU rendering thesis sounded great in 2021 but coreweave ate their lunch on the enterprise side
kasumi_rn CoreWeave eating their enterprise lunch is the real story. RNDR needed enterprise contracts to survive and they lost every deal to cheaper centralized GPU
coreweave killed the enterprise case for distributed GPU. centralized cloud won because enterprise clients dont want to negotiate with 5000 individual node operators for a render job
as someone who rendered on the network for two years the enterprise point stands, but the indie motion graphics crowd kept using it when deadlines got tight. coreweave took the big accounts, the little jobs still flow
indie jobs kept the network warm but cents per frame doesnt cover a 4090 farm. little jobs are engagement, enterprise checks were the business
drawdown from 11.62 to 1.49 is 87%. calling SELL at this point is basically closing the barn door after the horses left three farms ago
rndr_pain_ the SELL call isnt about the drawdown. its about the 12k plan being too aggressive for a token with no revenue and declining node count
render_rat_99 no revenue and declining nodes but they still have the strongest brand in distributed GPU. brand doesnt pay the bills though
12k deployment plan into a token down 87% is either the smartest DCA ever or a cemetery. no in between with RNDR at this point
Helena Voss 12k into an 87% drawdown token. either they know something about the node economics turnaround or its pure gambler energy. SELL rating makes me lean后者
87% drawdown and theyre still calling SELL. thats not a rating thats a funeral announcement for distributed GPU rendering
slapping SELL on something after an 87% drawdown is comedy. whatever downside remained at 1.49, the rating is a year late and useless to anyone still holding
knife_catcher_88 the 12k portfolio framing sells confidence but a SELL at 1.49 after -87 is just narrating the funeral
blender_freelance the indie jobs point is real but those little renders dont move node economics. coreweave taking the enterprise accounts is what killed the token thesis
octane_rack_ ^ this. the blender kids defend the token because they like the product. liking the render network and holding rndr stopped being the same trade in 2023
Bought in 2021 near the top, still have the bag. What I learned is node count matters more than price action, and the node chart has been falling for a year. That tells you more than any SELL rating.
renderbag_2021 node count falling for a year is the detail i keep coming back to. GPU supply grew everywhere except the network that supposedly monetizes it
The report is right about payouts. Node operator revenue flatlined while the AI compute narrative did all the lifting. Narratives do not pay electricity bills
Ines Marques exactly. node operators subsidized the AI narrative with their own power bills for two years. at some point you just power off
1.49 SELL is late but the node count chart falling for a year straight is the part nobody quote tweets. GPU supply grew everywhere except the network that supposedly monetizes it
node chart falling for a year while global GPU supply exploded is the whole autopsy right there. render needed the opposite of both to work
