Volatility Is Your Friend

Yesterday I wrote a post talking about price in crypto being irrelevant considering where we were in the 4 year cycle and this morning this has been highlighted even more. If you are someone who checks your portfolio value every day then I suggest looking at the token numbers instead because nothing has changed. Your token numbers rise no matter what the market is doing ,that is if you have staked them.

Crypto as we know is a volatile investment that swings both ways and as an investor staking in whatever projects you have you are still growing your numbers daily. This is why it is safer to stake than just hold because those that have their crypto in a cold wallet not staked are missing out on the growth opportunities.

My portfolio value has taken a hit like all of us have and a few years ago that would have had me concerned, but today this does not phase me one bit and I kind of enjoy this period. Nothing has changed and this is the life of a crypto investor and why price is only relevant when it comes to the time of selling. This is probably why I keep quiet about my dollar crypto value because those that do not know will consider you stupid for not selling. They cannot visualize that within 12 months this could have done a 20 x from here which as we know can happen over a very short space of time.

I was hoping that my COTI investment would be earning more through liquidations, but I think those that are staked are being cautious and no one has their investment in the high risk levels. Still looking at the numbers there is a slight drop in the TVL of the COTI Treasury of around 1 million COTI which is smaller than usual. This has helped boost the overall APR by a small percentage where today I noticed an extra 0.27% APR increase. Not much but better than nothing and maybe this APR will rise more over the next 12-24 hours. I am not tempted to move my stake into a higher earning level because no one knows when we hit the bottom and the risk of losing it all is very high. Imagine working accumulating your stake for 3 years and then losing it all thinking you are smart.

These days for every 1 cent the crypto prices drop I am dropping by nearly $3K which is the reality of when your stake is that much larger. I have not looked at social media today and I can bet it is all doom and gloom with investors panicking. I saw Warren Buffer sold of his Apple shares a few days ago and we should have all taken notice because that is what the smart money was doing. If he bought back today he would have an extra 11% and why these guys are so wealthy.
