2 weeks later and about $1K down thru the rollercoaster, somehow Im still there in the @ore mines. Idk how many ppl can relate, I started off when $ORE was $80+. Bought just 1 ORE and started ‘playing’ in the ‘mines’. Saw prices going thru the roof! Bought more and more and ended up with 2.5 ORE staked. With $600 cost, $1.5K on paper alr made me happy (yes Im poor, be nice). Then party was over. Big famous jeets dumped and almost collapsed the mines. Saw prices up from 200+, 300+, 500+ , 600+ then went back down to 400+, 300+… my avg cost was like 300. When it dropped to 200+, then 180s and 160s. I capitulated. Sold 1 ORE for 168. Started thinking like: “wtf am I even doing here?” Yet I still kept the rest staked. Keeping my hopes up. TL kept showing articles, vids and posts from chads like @KEMOS4BE , @pokerchessman and @nftimm . While I finally stopped ‘playing’ and started ‘mining’. Albeit with whatever small amt of SOL I got left. Even getting thru several split Motherlodes didnt make me meaningful ORE amt if I only deploy small amt of SOL. Yet I never stopped mining in the mines. Deployed for all blocks. Losing lil bit of SOL every few hundred auto rounds. Idk why I kept going. What was I looking for? Then….. just today…. I got my first whole ORE!! Like.. 1) what?! With just that tiny SOL deployed? What a fair pcs of tech! So if u keep going, u’ll still have that chance of getting ‘equalised’. No matter of how small of a shrimp u are. @HardhatChad is truly a Chad! Wait, on paper, I just got back whatever I’ve lost on the mining part and more. Or I could think of it as getting back the 1 ORE I capitulated earlier on. But ORE price is lower now than before. Still got ways to go. Then I remember all those articles, vids and posts. $ORE is a pure SOV (Store of Value). So u just gotta keep stacking it with the lowest possible cost. But that cost is never really ‘lost’ y’know. It is ‘stored’. So have faith and keep mining. Just like BTC, one day when enough ppl believe in it, it’ll be the best SOV of how much ever u put in there today. The tech works. But we are the ones who have to make the value work. Just like any other including BTC, it works when there are enough ppl believing in it. But it’s not a ponzi. It’s just an economic reality. Just like any other currency/asset. If u’re on the fence whether to keep mining or not. Just keep going. U lose worse in the trenches and got nothing to show for it. Be a believer like me and lets make this work. Together! I’m a believORE.
