STX (STX)

Oldie but goodie from 2023. Stacks has nothing to do with Bitcoin. It's a totally fake "layer two." Get involved with it, and this is the likely outcome:

4 months have passed and I'm sharing the current state of the portfolio. 📉 Average return: −28.15% (portfolio in loss) 🟢 Top performer: ASTER +23.00% (TAO +20.66% second) 🔴 Worst performer: ROSE −56.35% (OP −54.57% second) Number of rising coins: 2 / 15 Number of falling coins: 13 / 15 As you can see, the crypto market has been slashed.

Actually, I don't think that way. It's simple: US stocks didn't start only today; in the previous cycle, FTX already did business with US stocks, and in DEX there was STX also doing US stock business, and FTX even made predictions. The point is not that US stocks will replace altcoins; the point is that the current crypto market liquidity is so poor. This situation has occurred before, basically in every cycle, and when liquidity returns, altcoins will naturally flourish again. The reason is simple: most crypto users are after high returns, not just a three- to five‑fold gain in a year. US stocks are good, but due to regulation they can't surge and crash like crypto. In bull markets, altcoins often rise hundreds of times in a week, which many have experienced. Even when trading US stocks, I think very few investors actually buy the underlying shares; most still use leverage and trade contracts, for example look at #Binance's CLUSDT volume, which is almost catching up to CME, and at times even exceeds CME's volume. Altcoins will still have players, just like a casino never loses gamblers just because it has a mahjong room.

$STX The sharp move he made at the beginning of the month doesn't even appear on the weekly chart. Even if we return to those old days, we want to get rid of these ridiculous prices as soon as possible. https://t.co/zCD6R8HhCa

🟧 Bitcoin Staking Whitepaper, Fully Explained (3/10) If I only hold STX, do I still earn? This is the question most current STX stackers care about. In Part 2 we saw STX-only sits in Tier 2 of the waterfall. So the honest answer: yes, you still earn, but it changes. 📌 Yes, STX-only staking continues The whitepaper is explicit: STX-only staking remains "the default path for STX holders who prefer not to participate in consensus via the protocol bonds." What stays the same: No BTC required. No auction. No whitelist. No capacity cap. Same signer cycle. 50,000 STX minimum for solo, or join a pool. For existing PoX-4 stackers, the participation model is basically unchanged. Only the reward math is updated. 📌 What changes: you're now second in line Under old PoX-4, STX stackers received the entire BTC pool. Under Bitcoin Staking, paired BTC (Tier 1) gets paid first. STX-only gets the residual (Tier 2), splitting the leftovers with the reserve fund. This is the real shift. STX-only yield used to be the main event. Now it's the residual. 📌 The hard truth from the whitepaper The whitepaper does not hide this. Section 8.1 states plainly: "In sustained downturns, STX-only yield can compress significantly or reach zero." If miner revenue barely covers Tier 1 obligations, the residual for STX-only can shrink toward nothing. 📌 STX-only vs Paired: the tradeoff STX-only: + No lock-up commitment beyond standard cycles + No BTC needed, fully liquid path - Second priority, yield can compress in downturns Paired (BTC + STX): + First priority, target yield protected - 6-month lock, STX pairing earns nothing - Requires BTC + exposure to STX price 📌 So what should an STX-only holder think about? STX is being repositioned. Under PoX-4, it was a yield-bearing asset. Under Bitcoin Staking, it functions more as a "capacity asset": used for gas, governance, and as pairing collateral. If you only hold STX and won't pair BTC, you stay in Tier 2 by default. You keep earning, but understand it's residual, not priority. ✅ Part 3 in one line STX-only staking survives as the default path, but moves to second priority. You still earn, just understand it can compress in downturns. Next, Part 4: how does paired participation actually work? (BTC + STX, native vs sBTC) Personal analysis, not financial advice. Always verify against the whitepaper.

Stacks $STX is still in a damaged technical structure. But its link to Bitcoin keeps the recovery case alive. -Positive BTC sentiment can lift STX. -Ecosystem news may strengthen demand. Confirmation matters more than prediction. https://t.co/ZU3tpr6sPi
