On Sunday afternoon, may your heart be at peace. 🙏
I know many people like to open their wallets at this time, watching the amount of staking (Staking) @Vanarchain ($VANRY ) slowly increase, filled with a 'Buffett-style' sense of accomplishment. You tell yourself: 'I don't watch the market, I'm earning interest, I'm a value investor.'
But as an old-timer who has been rolling in the crypto circle for many years, I must pour a bucket of cold water on you while you are dreaming this beautiful dream.
On a chain without real applications, staking is not an investment, it's passive beating.
🍬 Myth 1: An enticing 10% annualized return? That's your sellout contract.
The official says the staking has an 8% - 12% APY. Sounds much better than a bank, right?
Dear, you need to understand: this interest is 'magically printed' by the system.
It's like the landlord raised the rent by 10%, but the property value dropped by 50%. This is a **'left hand exchanges with right hand'** game. If the coin price drops by 10% in one day (which is common in the crypto world), then the interest you worked hard for in a year could vanish in minutes. You pick up sesame seeds (interest), but lose the pancake (principal).
⛓️ Myth 2: The 21-day 'mandatory cooling-off period'
This is the scariest design.
Vanar's unstaking (#unstaking ) needs 21 days.
Imagine if BTC suddenly crashes next Monday, and the entire market is fleeing. Do you want to sell? Sorry, the system coldly tells you: 'Please wait 21 days before coming back.'
During these 21 days, your coins are in a **'imprisoned state'**:
❌ Cannot sell.
❌ Cannot earn interest (the unlocking period usually has no interest).
✅ Can only watch your assets shrink.
What kind of investment is this? This is being forced to be a **'long-term shareholder'**. The manipulators designed this prison to keep you from escaping.
🧱 Myth 3: Why can't the price of the coin go down?
Look at Vanar's staking rate, which is as high as 35% - 45%. Do you think everyone has strong faith?
Don't be foolish, this is a **'man-made scarcity'.
Nearly half of the chips are locked in this prison, liquidity is exhausted, and of course the manipulators can pull the market up.
Most people don't want to escape, it's just that they are locked in and can't get out**.
🎯 Sunday soul-searching question
Take advantage of the weekend to honestly ask yourself a question:
'If Vanar skyrockets or plummets tomorrow, can I react immediately?'
If your answer is 'No, because I'm staking', then congratulations.
You are not an investor; you are the 'foundation' of this mansion—responsible for being stepped on by others to rise up.
Happy Sunday. May the Lord bless you, and may 'liquidity' be with you. 🥂
