Nice to see various projects being talked about. Brings awareness, if nothing else.
With top 20 wallets having 800k+ each, there really isn't any faith for new people to grab a handful, for fear a whale will dump (again).
Going PoS was a weird move. I guess having a long run of PoW helped spread the coin around, but the top5 PoS earners also hold the top10 balances. Not 'fair' for people just getting in with a few grand worth. I believe these wallet holders should staking=0 in their conf files, but hold the wallets open for network stability. They have 'enough'. Allow the small fry to earn a few crumbs.
Whales didn't dump much during our ATH, the reason the price dropped was 2 reasons: a) We got exploited and hackers minted a ton of coins and dumped. That was addressed and we not only patched it successfully, but we also learned how to replicate their exploit. b) there was 10k mota mined every day and dumped on the market. At $0.10 per coin, that's $1000 a day hammering the bid liquidity. That's why we went full POS. Its not fair for literally 2 miners to be draining so much liquidity every day.
As far as the top 5 pos earners 'unfairly' hogging all the stakes, keep in mind there are only 420 mota minted via pos each. That's $2 worth of mota every day. Its virtually nothing. So the top 5 pos earners are splitting $2 worth of mota each day lol. Moving to full POS is imperative to holding price gains. Since our last discussion, after moving to full POS, we are up 300%.
The staking rewards are low enough to be considered irrelevent imo. How many of the top wallets are actually staking? A handful??
Only 2 of the top wallets are even staking (

That all being said, we are very very undervalued, no one is dumping at these prices. There are plenty of coins to be picked up on the markets at these prices.
I think we finally have everything lined up to moonshot again, and this time we will hold the price gains. As I correctly predicted sustained gains after switching to full pos, I predict that we will go much much higher than our current ATH and these prices are bargains.
Like last time, we will see!
