A 30k backtest on a token trading at 0.01. Whatever the model says, position sizing is doing all the heavy lifting at this price level
swapped my last MATIC bags for ETH months ago. SELL at 0.01 feels late to the party but exiting is still the right call
agreed on the exit but the agglayer thesis isnt dead, just early. 0.01 already prices in a lot of pain
early since 2021 is a euphemism at this point. 0.01 can absolutely go to 0.004, ask anyone holding dead L2 bags from the last cycle
early is doing a lot of work in that sentence. they have been saying soon since the rebrand announcement
They have been early since the 2021 marketing blitz. At some point early just means wrong about the timeline
the migration ratio alone wrecked my cost basis tracking. RIP my tax spreadsheet
same, spent a whole weekend redoing cost basis after the swap. my tax software basically gave up on the wallet lol
same here, ended up tracking the swap manually in a plain text file. cost basis cleanup took me three weekends
three weekends and a plain text file is the most honest accounting software in crypto tbh
ADX reading 97 on a token down 89.6% for the year. When the trend signal screams that loud you dont need a 30k backtest to tell you to stay away
ADX 97 on a token down 89.6 percent, at that point the indicator is just describing the funeral
SELL at 0.01 with a 52w high of 0.34. the agglayer pitch from the rebrand era has aged spectacularly badly
