Exceeding Expectations

The hope for this year was by the time the peak of this cycle hit I would have somewhere between 220K and 240K COTI staked in the Treasury ready to sell. With the way the crypto market is currently it is highly unlikely we will see ATH's on the altcoins this year. We know anything can still happen, but I just don't see it this year or even early in 2026. If it happens then great and if it doesn't then that is also great because it gives more time to grow the bags.

My COTI stake is just shy of 240K which is roughly 20% over my initial target which is being revised and raised as each week and month passes. This is the time of uncertainty which is still a positive and don't see this as being negative at all. In truth I am grateful to be able to keep on growing at the rate growth is happening.

By the end of this year the stake should be well over 250K which is a number I never thought I would see this cycle. The really good thing that has happened is the APR seems to have bottomed out with my various pools of staked COTI averaging out at around 14.5% APR. The rewards are slightly under 90 COTI earned daily and with a stable APR that daily reward number is now increasing each week. One can now see the compounding effect taking shape which was difficult before due to a fluctuating APR.

The idea of being able to earn 100 COTI daily is actually not that far off and at the current accumulation and growth rate would see this happen with the next 4 months. The problem of not knowing any timelines for this cycle whether it being another 6 months or 18 months just means you carry on doing what you have been doing and no drastic changes are required. The target for each month in this case has to be around adding an additional 7-8K COTI monthly.

The growth rate is what is exceeding all expectations now as the first 3 years I managed to accumulate and stake 180K COTI which was an average of 60K COTI per year and this last year I would have achieved the average in just 7 months. Another year at these growth rates would be ideal if the market allows that to happen as 350K COTI would then be feasible which is a dreamland scenario.

Crazy to think this all started out with what at one time looked a big number of 15K COTI staked and has just grown from there. Time is the key ingredient as any project needs the time and consistency to grow which includes the compounding effect where daily rewards are staked and start earning rewards on top of the rewards. We shall see where this ends up and why sticking with a project and not jumping around can potentially pay off far more than what you first envisioned. We can always achieve more and why you must never settle.

This is a fantastic and disciplined approach. While many are frustrated by the delayed cycle, your perspective on using this time to accumulate is spot on. Hitting 250K COTI is a huge milestone, and achieving it with a stable ~14.5% APR is a powerful position to be in. Sometimes, a longer runway is the best thing that can happen for a long-term bag. Great update!

I'm happy for you, but this really makes me angry about all that time I missed not being able to participate because I live in the US. I remember back at the beginning I had more than you. It sucks to think where my stack would be if they weren't so stupid. Ultimately, I blame COTI.

Yes to a degree you are correct, but I have also been buying COTI every week as well and average 5K per month over and above the rewards. I added another 1100 COTI this week which is not including the 90 COTI rewards earned daily and the same will happen next week. This has been 43 months of continuous accumulation.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize you were dollar cost averaging as well. I was for a while, but I moved away from it for a while. It was never too much though as most of my money like that goes into my traditional investments.
