Oh maybe I was trying to buy Koinos the wrong way then. It seemed like CB wallet swap was the only way to get it. I’m not paying $150 in fees
Will check out CBPro

I know next to nothing about "CB wallet swap" since I don't use Coinbase, but ~$150 in fees to pickup Koinos sounds, unfortunately, about right. KOIN is only available on ETH based decentralized exchanges, and gas for my swaps, from USDC or ETH into KOIN, have been running between $100-$250 for each tranche of KOIN I've been buying.
thanks for this information. I will just pull the trigger on it then ...

I appreciate the post Geo. I remember your polyswarm posts back in the day, and never got on board with that one. One thing I’ve learned through all this trading is that despite the misses there always seems to be another opportunity around the corner. A nice thing that helps me continue plugging away, not that you need motivation from some scrub trader or anything 
Now time for my obligatory trumpeting of assets. I am still holding on with a death grip to IOTA, EOS, MATIC, KOIN, XLM, and of course BTC… in respect for the above post will do so until either a cold and bitter end, or a 7+ figure crypto account balance

Nice to see, I’ve been completely out of the loop with crypto, but have an interest in bagging some more KOIN too, because the name is great and geo says so

geokills said: I don't typically like to flaunt numbers, but in the interests of transparency (and just to do a little venting), I need to share this personal account...
My locked LUNA-UST liquidity provider position on Astroport now has 33,000 LUNA's in it (and 1,500 UST), and is worth around $1000. This position was approaching $200K a month ago. I was able to salvage about $6K out of my unlocked Astroport governance token airdrop, even as a couple of weeks ago it was worth almost $50K. My staked LUNA, formerly worth upwards of $100K is still amidst its 21 day "unbonding" process, initiated when the asset was trading north of $80.
I always knew crypto was a wild ride, but I honestly did not expect to get smacked with this level of losses almost overnight. In conjunction with ancillary losses from the drawdown on the entire market, I'm seeing about $650K wiped off the books inside of a month. By far the fastest/worst loss I've ever experienced over 20 years of trading. The market sure can get real, real quick!
As an aside, I'm sure some of you recall me reporting on how pleased I was with my participation in LUNA and the associated Astroport lockdrop over the past months. In fact, I was internally annoyed by not having participated more heavily, as it seemed like such easy money. Well therein lay the lesson folks. Easy come, easy go. Sometimes things are clearly just a little too good to be true. This also serves as a humbling reminder of why it is so important to maintain diversified allocations and to rebalance incrementally. Some concentration is admittedly important for outperformance, but too much concentration and you risk completely blowing yourself up.
Fortunately, I will live to trade another day and this loss doesn't pose any threat to my lifestyle, but this was nevertheless an expensive reminder of the lessons I've had to re-learn a few times over, always the hard way.
Not to resurrect any old pain, but just wanted to comment on this now that I am catching up on the threads. On one hand, dude sorry for that loss - we are all recipients of a recent beating by just about every market, unless one is shorting all fronts. But this I hope can be a reminder to people who are feeling especially down on losses, it happens to everyone, and even the best of the best (and Geo is certainly the most experienced trader I know - more importantly a very honest and transparent trader, for the greater good).
FWIW I am down maybe about 70% in my crypto accounts, and 30% in my Roth, and somehow LOL 40% in my 401k with all fund allocations. Honestly the only thing on my mind is a desire to find more money to invest. Through years of training pain I more or less have become an investment vampire, and red charts just make me lust for MORE!!!!
Just dropeed 2k into my crypto account, and will be distributing accordingly:
BTC 50% (buying incrementally) ADA 20% SOL 20% XLM 10%
In a separate account might pick up some more KOIN - trading at .30

Bought in 2k at 30. If it drops to 15 I will buy in one more time.
Currently own a shiny 1/3 of a BTC haha. If I can make it a half and then wait 10 years to see how it shakes out for my retirement plans that will be the move.

Thanks for the read Geo, as always ✊
Have a safe and fun trip, love moving up the coast, and know Morro bay quite well. We used to visit San Simeon for a week at a time up until quite recently. What I wouldn’t give to have a week now to do that . Enjoy it brother.
Almost dropped another K straight onto BTC, but instead bout some ammo and magic cards. Figured it’s good to think outside of the investment lens every now and then. Might still make the drop, but feel happily exposed for a 10 year timeframe.

I couldn’t really find any news on why KOIN dropped to its current levels. Is this still a crypto worth holding as an investment?

Yes thank you for the clarity on this. I bought in for $1000 back when it was .80 or so. As with any crypto investment I did so fully aware that I may never to see that money again so when it was at .03 I was like cest la vie
thats good news though - mine is locked up in a coinbase wallet atm

geokills said: Coinbase, as in the centralized exchange? I don't know exactly how the wallet you are referring to functions, however know that it may complicate your ability to claim the main net tokens, as you will need to connect the wallet that held the ERC20 tokens via a custom application Koinos developed that will verify your ownership of that wallet and then deposit the relevant amount of main net tokens into a new Koinos wallet that you will control.
You can walk yourself through the process on a test network via their website: https://claim.koinos.io/ Note that the test net snapshot was taken in August, so you would need to use a wallet address that held the ERC20 KOIN tokens at the time of the August snapshot in order for your test claim to be successful.
If you can't get that to work, you should reach out to Coinbase customer support to determine if and how you may be able to claim your main net tokens when they become available.
Man thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. I will get on it ASAP.
At the time I wasn’t thinking much about the holding vehicle - in fact it seemed to be the only place I could get it, through some poly swap thing . Will keep this thread updated with any progress or issues I end up having.
