What we want is to get rich now, not to wait 5 years to see if we were right or not.

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.

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.

#149 Grin Blockchain Genesis Third Years

[Hueristic]

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.

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

[SweetMochi24]

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.

No, there won't be. And the PoW is not expected to ever change.
