Don't Underestimate Your Growth

Last night I thought I would rewind 12 months to see what my COTI stake was back in early February 2025. This I find is important to do as it puts everything you are doing into perspective showing that you are on the right track. With the way the market is currently so many people in crypto focus on the price and the price should be irrelevant right now because most of us are so far down you would be moronic to consider selling.

162K COTI staked in February 2025 having a value of $11.8K compared to the current stake of 264K which is a growth of 102K COTI over the last 12 months which is way above what I had expected. That is an average of 8.5K COTI growth per month for a 1 year period which is what consistency delivers. The price at the time was not great either and was only just over 7c and would make my current stake worth nearly $20K instead of $3.3K. This is where we find ourselves in the crypto market so there is little else to do besides grow your bag even more which will result in having more value when the markets turn green.

The first three years I knew I was averaging at 60K COTI accumulation per year which was based on an April timeline being the checkpoint. This April I would have been tracking 240K instead of the 264K currently staked so the game is now to try and reach 300K by April which is a target I do not realistically expect to reach, but at least will try and see if I can find a way. Already this stake has exceeded all expectations and why targets need to be adjusted to keep pushing to the max.

This staking COTI project when it was started back in 2021 was more about what value could be unlocked during a 4 year crypto cycle starting from 0. At the time we had no idea those 4 year cycle timings would change and this project needs to be completed whenever the cycle finishes so it would give a clear indication of time versus reward. At the end of this year the staking project would be 5 years old and expect the number of tokens to be well on their way to reaching 350K if not more. The bottom price I expect is $1 and hopefully a little more which would place the time vs reward at around $70K per year which I think is a realistic type of number.

Crypto is not a get rich quick scheme which many thought it was when they first invested and found out the hard way. For many when they invested they were the liquidity the old timers were waiting for and exited their positions leaving the new investors carrying the bag. Staking fortunately removes that risk along with time as the rewards earned reduces the cost per token through the rewards earned. The time spent staking is what generates the riches and one has to have long term vision and a serious amount of patience. Anyone can do this, but are many prepared to wait the 4 or 5 years required seeing this through to fruition?
