#150 Priorities, Goals, and Upcoming Node Updates

Grin will be a fantastic coin, miners appear to be more engaged, and there will be significant advancement. Aside from this, I also think DAO maker is a good launchpad.  Orion protocol is just one of their successful launch. Going back, Many customers like expenses that are not too high but also easy to obtain. Grin's path inspires good energy.

Today https://grinexplorer.net/block/40adad0aec27797b48840aa9e00472015c21baea118ce7a2ff1a82c0f8f5bf82 is three years old.
Happy birthday

Well Grin has finally hit my target entry price of < 0.25 that I forecasted before launch.

took a year and a half longer than I expected.

It now looks like a good time to reevaluate how the project has progressed and determine whether it is worth getting into.

another batch of fresh updates for community review and discussion

News

• As the Grin blockchain approaches it's 3rd year genesis day (January 15th) I'd like to reflect on the chains humble beginnings, technical achievements and the herculean efforts to build the protocol as a fair and private store of value capable of full transaction validation from a cell phone. Thanks for being such a great community through it all

Anticipate too much is not much different from being wrong.

Who invested in Grin since 2019, surely would rather have waited a bit longer ... the BTC / Grin chart makes it clear.

In 5 years surely losing Grin will be just one more among a lot of mistakes... but for sure not the worst.

If you want to get rich now, go play dice. It will take only a second.

If you can't hold GRIN during these times, you don't deserve the wealth the GRIN holders will get 5 years later.

Stay strong and have faith in theymos.

The price of Grin is currently low, but there are several reasons to explain it.

1st It cannot be compared with BTC, even with its emission in the first years ... first because GRIN is from 2019 ... and second, because whoever buys coins for HOLD does so thinking about future issuance, not for nothing the price of BTC multiplies with each halving. And Grin with its linear emission, discourages HOLD a lot.

2nd Grin had a spectacular launch, the forum officially adopted it, heavyweights supported it, old school BTC wallet was unfrozen to support it, it was a long-awaited project, with a new approach and technology, really attractive, and with a really high mining difficulty from the beginning. All this hype led to its price being initially high ... very high (The ATH). What has drawn, today, a typical graph of the dump / bump shitcoin.

3rd It is complicated to use ... or at least, very different from other cryptos, especially if you cannot use statepack. and from the beginning it hasn't been very friendly to resource-poor miners either ... its counterpoint being Monero's CPU mining.

4th The attack of the 51% who suffered, the possibility of mimblewimble fail ... together with the linear emission, don't invite to invest NOW in it.

I repeat the price is absurdly low, especially when compared to doggy tokens and similar shit ... but that's the crypto market.

The main problem is that Grin can be seen as a great investment in the very long term, but it is that nobody looks for that anymore and less with cryptos. What we want is to get rich now, not to wait 5 years to see if we were right or not.

I am buying it on KuCoin but last time I checked it wasn't possible to withdraw/deposit Grins. You can always convert your Grin stash to something else and withdraw however.

I too remember, it was theymos probably, said that it is going to go to 50 cents... and it is hanging there.

My theory is, theymos is providing the price base there around 30-50 cents and when the sellers get exhausted, it will shoot up but don't count on me. I have been wrong numerous times before.

Where is this listed now?

I'm on the fence of where this is going to go.

It did everything I forecasted to the letter but I am not sure right now what the future holds.

I don't know what you are talking about. I am super bullish on grin for the long term. I am constantly DCA'ing it every month. If you are underwater, just buy more. It is on fire sale. If you don't have stronk hands to hold grin, then sell them. You don't deserve the gains neither.

Like Warren Buffett said: "No pain, no gain."
