COTI did a poll a few days ago with regard to staking lock up periods for the upcoming COTI V2 token airdrop. Firstly what we learned from this is there will be no hard locking periods enforced so it looks as though it will be business as usual staking your COTI in the various pools offering the different APR.
I must to admit I was not overly keen on the 365 plus day option especially with the Bull market upon us. We do have some idea of timelines however and 365 days from all accounts will be well short of the ATH's that are expected later next year. The next 12-15 months is massive for anyone accumulating COTI and could be life changing on so many levels.
Out of more than 2000 people responding to the poll more than 35% are happy to stake for 1 year or longer. That is a decent percentage and no doubt the ones who have been staking for years already. 18% thought 6 months was fine and I was in that group but knowing what I know now will keep it locked up for 365 days plus just be renewing the 90 day tab for maximum rewards. The renewing tab is important because there is no new costs paid for re staking using this method. 25% voted for 90-129 days and 22% for 30 days.
One thing for certain if this was March 2025 we would see a completely different set of results with the 6 month even being seen as risky and cutting it fine. We all want to do well when we sell and I will offload the majority of my COTI with the aim of buying back when it is cheaper. What is a weird feeling is having already exceeded all expectations after literally only 30 months and what is to come will more than likely blow those numbers out the water and the chances are will be my best investment return ever if it achieves the 100 or 150 x from here. Rule nothing out if Bitcoin is above $250K or more.
This doesn't really matter anymore as we know the longer you have your stake in the Treasury the more COTI V2 tokens you will receive via he airdrop an an incentive to remain staked. Why anyone would choose less time does not make sense as this is going to boost your accumulation receiving free coins on top of any APR being earned daily. This could be the most lucrative airdrop seen in Crypto passing even what Uniswap did all those years ago.
The airdrop could not have come at a better team for myself because the long term goal was to be close to 200K COTI by the time we see the peak of the market hit. Price is definitely a factor on how close I can get to this number with the token now costing more than 3 x it was a few weeks ago. The 150K target looks more realistic so this has to be taken daily now and hopefully we see a few more dips along the way whilst going up. Whatever happens I am grateful to be in such a strong position with a token that has been making a lot of noise through what it has been developing technologically wise.
