SNX bottom: Are we there yet?
Updated
With SNX mainnet still likely a month or so out, have we finally found the bottom in price action? I don't honestly know the answer and charts can only provide clues. Anyone who says they can predict with certainty is a liar.
Again, this is NOT financial advice. This is simply what I am doing. I bought approximately 2765 Synthetix Network Tokens (SNX) on Coinbase in late July & early August (@$9.88 per SNX) of this year with the intention of earning no-hassle interest on Celsius Network at a yearly 13.99% APY. They pay me a portion (1/52nd of the yearly interest) in SNX tokens every Monday. The reasons I chose Celsius to HODL my tokens were many but knowing compounding interest at 13.99% will double my token count every 5 years was a big one. I understand there are ways to earn even more on Layer2 or on defi swap exchanges, but just as I am opposed to paying Coinbase their somewhat high fees for every transaction (buying, selling, swapping or transferring), I truly hate the volatile exorbitant gas fees of defi. I also hate all the steps necessary and the unpredictability of defi. Additionally, I have no desire to sit on my computer or stare at my cellphone all day making trades and computing transaction/gas fees or deciding where to delegate/stake my tokens. Is there a higher payoff with that higher risk? Sure. Don't care. That's just me.
I wanted the "set it and forget it" high interest of Celsius that would cost me zero coins/tokens in fees once I migrated my SNX to their platform. I understood the potential of the Synthetix project (derivatives) well enough to be content sitting on a growing pile of tokens until their real value is discovered sometime early next year with the mainnet launch. So, how have I been doing so far?
The price per token has taken a beating lately. But my view is truly longterm, especially by crypto-world standards. My token count now stands at 2914.828985. Celsius just added 7.35814 tokens to my personal account this morning. I don't take the risk of staking. I don't pay any gas fees. I don't pay any fees at all while I sit on my growing pile of SNX.
Added bonus. Celsius just upped the interest rate to 14.05% APY on my SNX. They are adding a better on-ramp/off-ramp feature in the next few weeks, so that I won't have to pay fees to Coinbase (or other Cefi or Defi exchanges) ever again. No more having to buy elsewhere and pay fees. No more transferring and paying fees. I HATE fees! If you like what I am doing and want to use my referral code to earn $50 in BTC for setting up and transferring your coins or tokens to Celsius, just ask in the comments (Tradingview does not want me advertising my referral code). Celsius has over 40 coins/tokens that they service (the referral code applies to any of them). Most offer higher interest than you will find on other Cefi and they don't charge fees. Did I mention, I HATE fees?

Note
These are our "Interest rewards" as of this past Monday, January 03, 2022. These are the numbers for my SNX tokens and my daughter's Polygon (MATIC) coins.My token/coin count total is now: 2922.205744 SNX
Added this week: 7.37676 SNX
(I am now collecting 14.05% APY on my SNX at Celsius Network simply for holding my coins on their network. At this rate of compounding, my SNX doubles in number every 5 years regardless of price.)
My daughter's token/coin count total is now: 2088.096656 MATIC
Added this week: 3.49572 MATIC
(She is collecting 9.10% APY on her Polygon at Celsius Network simply for holding her coins on their network.)
If you decide to use this method to earn big interest (Celsius has 41 different cryptos including stablecoins that pay 8.50%, depending on your location and local regulations), get an extra $50 worth of bitcoin just by moving $400 worth of crytpo to Celsius (and hold for 30 days) when creating an account by using my referral code: 189218504d
Or my daughter's referral code: 1691390756
Thank you. --Garry
