85% drawdown and they still call it Stage 2 uptrend? lmao the copium in DeFi analysis never disappoints
85% drawdown from the 52w high and they rate it HOLD? lido is the biggest liquid staking protocol and LDO is down worse than most alts
LDO at 0.37 with Lido still controlling ~28% of all staked ETH. the token is basically a governance meme at this point, value accrual is zero
^ this. stETH does all the revenue, LDO just lets you vote on parameters nobody cares about. been holding since 1.40 and accepting my mistakes
backtest shows -45.9% with the strategy vs -77.9% buy and hold. so the trend system lost half your money instead of most of it. inspiring stuff
^ lmao these backtests always look rough on alts that crashed. the system cant save you from picking LDO
