@Aster_DEX
: Feels like we're close to a bottom here. CZs wouldnt put his name on the line for this chart.

Still think it can turn into a long term monster. They still generating $1M+ a day in fees.."

Price is bottoming out. 

Making higher lows. 

I believe this is a good setup for a potential recovery back to $0.85

But ONLY IF Bitcoin pumps and moves past 97k

As I said before, I lean bearish on Bitcoin. And $ASTER can easily crash to $0.65 if BTC crashes too. 

So"

Yes, I'm still sticking to my daily DCA investments every day, but I've cut back from the original 500 aster per day to random amounts! 50-500u per day!
Currently holding a total of 122,000!
Major losses, tears streaming down"

> "When CZ says “I’m not a trader. I buy and hold.” — it hits different.

He bought $ASTER with his own money on Binance, just like any user. Same mindset as buying BNB early and holding for years.

Is holding $ASTER for the long term worth it? How far $ASTER will go?"
