86% drawdown from the 52w high and they still allocated 25% to it? thats a bold move for a yield focused portfolio
the stop loss at 2.00 is basically right at support lol so youre getting stopped out the moment it breaks down
Daria V. stop loss at 2.00 on an asset that dropped 86pct is comedy. one wick and youre out
stop loss at 2.00 on an 86% drawdown asset is admitting the thesis already failed. just exit if you believe the SELL
from 15.56 to 2.19 is a 86 pct drawdown and the analysis says sell. honestly what is there left to sell
drawdown_denier exactly. at 2.19 with a 15.56 high the sell recommendation is just stating the obvious. the real question is whether ICP goes to zero or finds a floor
25pct portfolio allocation to icp at 2.19 for a yield focused fund is just gambling with extra steps
felix_m 25 percent allocation to an 86 percent drawdown asset in a yield focused portfolio is not bold, its reckless. the SELL rating is just common sense arriving late
Tiago M. calling it reckless undersells it. a yield focused fund putting 25% into an 86% drawdown asset isnt a thesis its a margin call waiting to happen
been saying this since $8. ICP tokenomics dont make sense for retail, the compute costs get subsidized by inflation
86% drawdown from 15.56 to 2.19 and the SELL rating is just now arriving. this analysis is 10 months late. anyone still holding at these levels is hoping not investing
icp_grave_ compute subsidized by token inflation means every canister call dilutes holders. the model literally pays for usage by printing tokens. same playbook as Helium
25% allocation to an 86% drawdown asset in a yield portfolio is not a thesis, its a margin call waiting. the stop loss at 2.00 is putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound
ICP at 2.19 with compute costs subsidized by token inflation means every canister call is paid for by dilution. the model eats itself
canister_defi_ ICP at 2.19 with compute subsidized by token inflation means every canister call dilutes holders. the model literally pays for usage by printing tokens
subnet_void_ compute subsidized by token inflation is the same model Helium used. worked great until it didnt. ICP is following the exact same trajectory
drawdown_math_ Helium comparison is painfully accurate. compute subsidized by token inflation works until confidence breaks then the death spiral is instant
86pct drawdown and 25pct portfolio allocation. this isnt a thesis its a lottery ticket with extra steps. the SELL rating is 10 months late
drawdown_denier the SELL rating 10 months late point is valid but this analysis at least gives a framework. most ICP holders are just hoping at this point
stop loss at 2.00 on something that dropped 86 percent is putting a band aid on a gunshot wound. the SELL rating should have come 10 months ago
86% drawdown and the SELL rating took 10 months. analysts were gaslighting bagholders with dollar cost averaging the whole way down
The sell rating after an 86 percent drawdown is analysts telling you what already happened. Nobody needed a report to know ICP from 15 bucks to 2 was bad.
stop loss at 2.00 on an asset that already lost 86% is comedy. at that point you hold or you dont there is no risk management left
stop at 2.00 with price at 2.19 means you risk under 10 percent to short something already down 86. comedy is generous, its performance art
25 percent of a 10k portfolio in ICP while calling it a SELL is the strangest allocation table i have ever seen. Aisha deserves an award for that contradiction
