AR at 1.89 down from 33. been saying this was a value trap since 2024
the storage use case is real but nobody pays for permanent storage when AWS exists. SELL rating makes sense
youre all missing that AO launched on top of Arweave. the compute layer changes the thesis entirely
AO narrative is what pumped it to 33 last time. how did that work out
30k on a SELL call. respect for actually putting a number on it instead of vague hand waving
