Keep in mind you can also do split ticket buying with as little as five decred, so that may be another option for you if you do not have enough to purchase a ticket on your own.
Plus if anyone wants to "stake" for larger amounts, now is the time, or it's "almost" time if you want to buy the lower dip.
Decred has never looked better for HODLING.
The ticket price is already 142 DCR and it's gonna rise even more over time. So staking doesn't look so good right now. Hodling - well, I think to sell Decred now before the next bull run would be a huge mistake.
But can't everyone buy more tickets with Decred priced below $20.00, with 142 DCR ticket, than a few months ago when Decred's price was $30.00, with 100 DCR ticket?
Plus the first objective is to HODL, staking rewards is a bonus.
I see your point. I even created a chart to see how the ticket price in USD has been changing last year and it's pretty clear that it is almost the lowest right now.
So if you want to buy and hodl and stake Decred, maybe it's the right time. But from my perspective as a long-time DCR hodler, staking becomes less and less profitable. I used to buy almost twice as many tickets a while ago, and the number of tickets I'm able to buy with my stake will only decrease over time.
YES! That's it! Thanks for making this.
But staking helps, and the rewards should only really be a bonus for participating, and be a part of the network. It's not like you pay some costs for staking.
You're welcome! And yes, I understand that staking isn't just a way of generating some passive income, as jy-p explained here. So don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it just happens that I wouldn't mind still getting a bigger bonus, that's all
